All good stories usually involve a cocktail or two… and around here, all good nights seem to either start or end in our Trapyard.
This outdoor space offers our full service dining experience, or more casual dining with our signature “Street Food,” ordered at our outdoor kitchen and delivered to your table. Weekends feature live music, and in our opinion, there’s no better place to spend an evening on Anna Maria Island.
