About This Bar

The Starboard is a legendary bar and restaurant that's been a Dewey institution for decades. It's famous for its build-your-own Bloody Mary bar (practically a buffet of hot sauces and garnishes - shrimp, bacon, you name it), and for serving breakfast and late-night drinks with equal enthusiasm.

By day, you can get a great omelet or crabby bloody Mary here; by night, it transforms into party central with DJs and dancing. The vibe is "come one, come all" - you'll see bachelorette parties, old Dewey alumni telling stories, off-duty lifeguards, and everyone in between.

Award-Winning: In 2025, USA Today picked The Starboard as one of the best bars in America. The signature cocktail is the Orange Crush (fresh-squeezed OJ, vodka, triple sec, Sprite) - they squeeze thousands of oranges a week and it's dangerously delicious.

Traditions here include the "Running of the Bull" and "Breakfast with Elvis" on certain weekends. It's a must-visit, even if just to people-watch and soak up the scene.
