Southport Raw Bar: Menu & Drinks
Kick off your meal with the Hot Lips— jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese. These spicy appetizers deliver a kick, while the cream cheese adds a velvety finish. They're perfect after a day at the Historic Stranahan House Museum.
Since this is a raw bar, try their half-dozen raw oysters. They are fresh, big, meaty, juicy, and flavorful. The menu has various combinations, making it easy to find something that appeals to your palate and hunger.
For something heartier, the Mahi Mahi is a sure bet. The fish is incredibly fresh and tender and comes broiled, fried, or blackened with rice, fries, or vegetables.
The cocktails and well drinks are plentiful and varied enough to appeal to diverse tastes. Beer and wine lovers will appreciate the choices that pair with the menu's offerings. Non-alcoholic options include soft drinks, lemonade, tea, cranberry juice, coffee, and sparkling water.
When you're ready for dessert, try the Banana Caramel Cheesecake Pastry. This sweet treat is decadent, with a flaky exterior giving way to a fluffy cheesecake filling. It is so indulgent you may not finish it!
