Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program here is built for volume and variety: frozen drinks, specialty cocktails and margaritas share menu space with a full beer list and a dedicated mocktail section. The Fudpuckerita is the signature frozen margarita, and Father Fud's Voodoo Magic is the best-selling 32 oz. Bucket pour. Beer covers domestic, import, craft and local bottles plus three signature small-batch drafts. Wine is six varietals by the glass. The mocktail list is unusually complete for a beachside grill, with dirty sodas, kiddie cocktails and zero-proof beer.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Fudpuckerita, a signature frozen Margarita with frozen lime juice infused with Mango and Strawberry. Father Fud's Voodoo Magic, the best-selling 32 oz. Bucket, blends four rums with cranberry, orange and pineapple juice. For a shared format, The Ultimate Coronarita is a 48 oz. Top Shelf Margarita with Sauza Tequila, a shot of Grand Marnier and two 7 oz. Bottles of Corona.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups drawn to large-format frozen drinks and shareable buckets, beer drinkers who want domestic, import and local bottles alongside house small-batch drafts, and non-drinkers or families who need a real mocktail, kiddie cocktail or zero-proof beer rather than a token option.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Three signature small batch craft draft beers — Fudpucker's Chasing Tail Ale, Fudpuckin Pelican IPA and Puckerona — are produced for the venue, and it hosts Pirate Brew Fest, described as the premier pirate-themed beer festival with local craft breweries, distilleries and food vendors.
