Community members bid adieu to the beloved restaurant at 1 King St. in St. Augustine.
the closing comes after a breakdown in the lease negotiations between SPB Hospitality, the company that owns the restaurant, and the White family which owns the building.
Thinking about why it's so popular for locals and tourists, he said,"To sit on the bayfront on that upstairs balcony and overlook the bay is hard to beat." Remembering his time while working there, Murr said,"It was well known in this town, this was the best job in town was at A1A. It was busy. You could make money."
"It was mildly emotional, you know, kind of looking at the brewery," Murr said."That’s how I raised my family. I was working there and brewing, right?""It’s sad. And it’s 30 years. It’s part of the history," Shrewsbury said."These are the restaurants when travelers like me come down, these are the places we want to eat."
