St Augustine: True Crime Pub Crawl & Walking Tour

Summary

True crime stories & cold drinks on St Augustine’s oldest streets

You’ll wander St Augustine’s oldest streets with a drink in hand, hearing true crime stories where they actually happened — unsolved murders, local legends, and chilling details told by someone who knows every corner. Expect laughter mixed with goosebumps as you move from bar to bar on this pub crawl. You might leave looking over your shoulder… but in a good way.

What’s the experience like?

Watching our guide slide her finger along the old cobblestones, I caught a whiff of something sweet from the bar behind us — maybe orange peel, or just spilled beer. She was already halfway into the Delany murder story before I realized we’d barely moved from our first drink. There’s something weird about listening to unsolved murders while holding a sweating glass in your hand, right where it all happened. The night air felt heavy, and someone in our group shivered even though it wasn’t cold at all.

I kept thinking about how normal everything looked — people laughing at the next table, lights flickering across those centuries-old walls — but then we’d stop and hear about W.D. Lindsey or Juan Carlos, and suddenly every shadow seemed sharper. Our guide didn’t sugarcoat anything; she’d pause, let us ask questions (someone always did), then keep going like she’d lived here forever. At one point she pointed out a window where Athalia Lindsley used to wave at neighbors before… well, you know.

The last stop hit hardest for me — Amy Blount’s story from the 90s. It was so recent compared to the others that I could almost picture it happening now. We leaned against a wall still warm from the sun, and nobody said much for a minute. I didn’t expect to feel that much walking a true crime tour in St Augustine — maybe it was the drinks, or just realizing how close history really is here. Anyway, I still think about that view down the alley when we left, wondering what else these streets have seen.
