    Tipsy Duck Parlor – St. Augustine, Florida

    Hey there, my fabulous friends!  It’s your favourite feathered adventurer back again to quack about my latest thrilling escapade at the whimsical Tipsy Duck in the charming city of St. Augustine, Florida! 

    If you’re looking for a lively spot filled with unique libations and a dash of history, let me tell you—this place is an absolute quacktastic treasure! 

    The decor is unlike anything you’ve seen, and the drinks are a delightful surprise.

    As I waddled through the doors, I was greeted by an explosion of vibrant, quirky decor perfectly fitting the name Tipsy Duck!  The walls are adorned with delightfully playful duck-themed artwork and colourful murals that sprinkle fun all around.  The cozy, warm lighting beckons you to sit and relax, whether with friends or enjoying a solitary moment of reflection.  How lovely it is to be surrounded by rustic wooden accents and whimsical touches!  It made me feel warm and fuzzy—like I was right in the heart of my rubber duck kingdom!

    And speaking of being surrounded by kin, you won’t believe what I discovered just to the left of the Tipsy Duck Parlor—bath junkie, a charming little store bursting with everything you need for a soak in the tub, including every rubber duck you can imagine! 

    From pirate ducks to superhero ducks, it was like a ducky wonderland!  I waddled around in sheer delight, feeling like I was among family.  Just picture it: bright-yellow cuties, decked out in fun costumes, all frolicking together.  Honestly, it made my little rubber heart swell!

    As I waddled up to the bar, I noticed a detail I had missed: the bar stools are also duck-themed, complete with webbed feet for their bases!  The attention to detail is impressive.

    Now, let’s dive beak-first into the exciting drink menu, shall we?  Two standouts truly quacked my interest.  First up is the Duck Punch—a vibrant concoction that swirls tropical flavours with a cheeky twist!  Imagine a lively blend of rum, fruity juices, and a hint of secret goodness.  It’s sweet, refreshing, and a mini beach vacation.

    Then there’s the Dirty Shirley, an adult remake of the classic Shirley Temple! The Dirty Shirley takes it up a notch with a splash of vodka, making it delightfully bubbly and fruity! I could almost hear the laughter of friends toasting with their colourful beverages—pure quackery!

    Tipsy Duck is a thrilling escape into a world where whimsical fun meets rich history, right in the heart of St. Augustine.  With its inviting atmosphere, charming décor, historical depth, and deliciously fun drinks, it’s an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to add some zing to their adventure.  So, whether you’re a rubber duck like me or a curious human traveller, waddle over and indulge in a sip.  Trust me, it will quack your world!
