The experience

Atlantic Avenue is the spine of Delray Beach's food and drink scene, and this tour walks you through it with someone who knows the bartenders and chefs by name. You'll hit craft bars and restaurants including Amar Bistro, Ramen Lab, The Standard and Beer Trade, stopping long enough to taste food, order cocktails and talk to the people behind the counter about how they've shaped the neighborhood. The Pineapple Arts district and other historic blocks come into the route too, so you're moving through the actual geography of where things happen, not just the polished storefronts.

Two hours is the full span, which means you're not rushing through each stop but you're also not settling in for a long sit-down dinner. Food is built into the crawl (plenty of it, according to the operator), so you're eating as you go rather than drinking on an empty stomach. The group maxes out at twelve people, which keeps the conversations at each bar or kitchen from turning into a mob scene. Vegetarian options are available if you flag them at booking.
