Daiquiri Deck Anna Maria Island

Start your night of bar or club hotspot hopping at the Daiquiri Deck on Anna Maria Island. They offer margaritas, specialty shots, many drink features, and of course daiquiris. There are many flavors to choose from, and you can also order one of their famous frozen daiquiri combos, including the “Bat Sh*# Crazy” –their strongest combination, or the “Patriot Missile” –a red, white, and blue explosion filled with Electric Lemonade, pina colada, and strawberry daiquiri flavors and topped with light rum.

There are mocktails for your designated driver, too. Balance the drinks with delectable bites like seafoods, salads, sandwiches, or burgers. Enjoy live music from local talents while you enjoy your food and drink. If you didn’t finish your daiquiri before it’s time to move on, put it in one of their Daiquiri Deck tumblers before heading out. You’ll need a mask to get in the door and moving in public spaces, but you can enjoy your private time mask-free.
