Open Mike Night at Alfred's

Open mike starts at 8 PM.

Located on West King Street just outside downtown St. Augustine, Alfred’s is surrounded by local shops, breweries, creative spaces, and neighborhood favorites. Easily accessible from US-1, it’s a gathering place rooted in one of the city’s most vibrant and evolving areas.

Since 1952, the building at 222 West King Street has been woven into the fabric of the West King neighborhood, evolving alongside the community that surrounds it. Best known by many locals as the longtime home of Sailor’s Exchange, the space became a beloved landmark filled with salvaged maritime treasures, local stories, and the unmistakable character that defined “old West King.”

> Over the decades, the building has served many purposes, but at its heart it has always been a place where people gathered. During the 1950s, in the era before the Civil Rights Act, the space reportedly operated as a gathering and event venue during a deeply divided period in St. Augustine’s history. Through changing times and many identities, the building has remained tied to the people and culture of West King Street.

Now situated in the center of one of St. Augustine’s most vibrant creative corridors, surrounded by independent businesses, restaurants, and neighborhood staples, the building continues its legacy as a community hub.
Today, Alfred’s aims to carry that spirit forward, creating a space centered around live music, food, art, and connection while honoring the rich history and neighborhood energy that have always made West King Street special.
