“It is such a pleasure to show up at work every day and manage such a high-class restaurant and bar – people have no idea what they’re missing if they haven’t stepped inside yet,” Rodriguez said.

Owner Deuble says he is pleased with Augie’s broad network of local connections, including local law enforcement officers who operate out of the Palm Coast precinct, located just upstairs from the billiard room.

Rodriguez’ first order of business was to help alter the menu to provide a broader range of gastropub-style offerings, including burgers, appetizers, flatbreads and more. The new menu launched earlier this month.
