Dewey Raw

The calendar flipped to September, but anyone claiming Dewey Beach has an “off-season” hasn’t stepped inside The Starboard on a Saturday afternoon.

Summer is officially in full swing, and things are getting wonderfully weird on the lower deck. Armed with a single microphone and a dream, Todd hits the bar to test the staff’s local knowledge on the upcoming (and highly controversial) 29th Anniversary of the Running of the Bull . Is it “bull” or “bulls”? Do we chase it, or does it chase us? The answers are about as steady as a Saturday afternoon...

The weather outside for Memorial Day Weekend might have been a rainy, gross mess, but we have a golden rule around here: it never rains inside the bar .

It’s a Caturday at The Starboard, and things are getting wonderfully off the rails.

Alright, we’re back, and things are officially getting chaotic. This week, we’re shooting out of order because we’ve got Izzy taking over the “man on the street” interviews. She claimed she needed some liquid courage to get through it, but after chugging some fries, she was ready to grill the regulars. We’re diving deep into the “Pretty Pavilion” (alliteration intended) and checking in with Meg ,...

Alright, look—we had a little “one microphone” situation at the Starbird, but in true Dewey Beach fashion, we adapted, overcame, and probably made it weirder than intended. Welcome to the first-ever Dewey Raw ASMR experience . I’m hanging out behind the bar with Cat Monte (who may or may not be related to the owner, depending on if she needs to “pull a card” that day). We’re getting into the “brai...
