Speakeasy closes, but Daiquiri Deck becomes more “rawsome!”
March 31st, 2009 by Brian Ries in Food and Drink
When Siesta Key Village’s Speakeasy closed a month ago, owners of that space and the neighboring Daiquiri Deck were ready to get to work. In just three short weeks they built a patio connecting the two properties, painted and redecorated, and created an entirely new menu for the expanded property featuring a hefty selection of raw bar items.
Now, everyone who wants to pair their oyster shooters or stone crab claws with a Deck Diesel or Voodoo Love Shake can finally live in peace and tranquility. Grain alcohol and raw seafood, two great tastes that taste great together.
I hope its not “rawful”. The audacity it takes to expand in this economy is “rawe-inspiring”. I hear that the atmosphere there is “rawcous”. If you need a hole punched in leather, I recommend using a “rawl”.
Put your own “raw” concoctions in the comments!
