Oysters & Ocean Air

A lively, open-air gathering celebrating the flavors of the coast, Coastal Crab Social brings together a menu of elevated, crab-forward bites—from mini crab cakes and crab Rangoon dip to corn spoonbread and crab-crusted chicken. Behind the bar, bright and refreshing cocktails like the Orange Crush, Vodka Bay Breeze, and Sparkling Citrus Punch set the tone for an easy, social evening.

With live music, casual seating, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere, this is a come-as-you-are experience designed for mingling, grazing, and enjoying the season.
