National IPA Day
August 1st

Guests who are new to IPAs can start out with the SweetWater H.A.Z.Y. and continue with an exploration of other craft beers.
National Beer Day
August 2nd
Stop by The Wharf for National Beer Day to kick off the weekend with popular brands such as Miller Lite and Guiness or on tap options such as Maduro Brown Ale and Mango Cart. Florida-made beers such as Landshark, Wavemaker Amber Ale, and Passion Of The Heights Wheat Ale are perfect for a night out with friends and older relatives. Follow up the half roasted half chicken or Wharf Burger with an ice-cold beer.
National Rum Day

Friday night begins with delicious seafood and rum at The Wharf for National Rum Day. Cartel Colada combines Coconut Cartel Anejo Rum with pineapple juice for a fruit-flavored beverage perfect for a night of drinks with friends, while The Hurricane satisfies taste buds with Bayou Silver Rum, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, and Diplomatico Mantuano Rum. Paired with Sesame Ginger Seabass, glazed salmon, and Catch Of The Day, dinner at The Wharf can be one to remember.
National Whiskey Sour Day

Whiskey lovers will enjoy The Wharf’s specialty drinks menu on National Whiskey Day. Boost your meal with Monkey Shoulder Blender Whisky with New Fashioned, the Heaven’s Door Straight Bourbon Whiskey of Heavenly Lemonade, or Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey in Irish Mule.
