"As you approach Dewey Beach, you’re greeted by The Starboard’s LED billboard displaying graphics that were probably made on Microsoft Paint in 2005. Messages like “Best Bloody Mary in Delaware!”, “Entertainment 7 Nights A Week!”, and “Never a Cover!” flip on the sign, which might lure you into what we can only describe as a party labyrinth. Locals and tourists alike pack in sardine style, sipping grapefruit crushes and singing along to a cover band that may or may not have played at your parent’s high school prom. The menu is about the size of a poster board and has things like Old Bay eggs benedict, Old Bay chicken tenders, and Old Bay shrimp—this is Delaware, after all. It’s all pretty solid, and great for a group hang, hangover recovery brunch (their DIY Bloody Mary bar is what dreams are made of), or sitting by one of their outdoor fire pits to watch a game on the big screen.

"For one of the best (and lengthiest) build-your-own bloody mary bars on the East Coast, consider a stop at Starboard. The beloved Dewey dive, tagged with stickers and party pics, also sends out an array of Orange Crushes and solid bar fare. Be sure to pick up a bottle of its house bloody mary mix on the way out. Bethany Beach sibling Mango’s is a go-to oceanfront spot for local surfers and tourists alike. Starboard’s partners also have ties to D.C. bars 801, Shaw’s Tavern, and Madhatter." - Julekha Dash, Eater Staff
