I remember a bartender at Morgan's Cove telling me that the water damage they took was so extensive they were debating re-opening it as a Tiki Docks, which doesn't require nearly as much ambitious theming. That was before the post Hurricane Hayward made saying they were planning to re-open in January, and DTB still has an Instagram post up saying they were planning to re-open, but I suspect the bartender was right: the Madeira Beach location is no longer listed on DTB's website, and has now appeared on the Tiki Docks website as a new "Coming Soon" location for them.

Somewhat more ominously, the Locations menu that was on the DTB website a month ago is actually completely gone now, and the site gives no indications that there's anything to the brand now other than the Gantt Reserve Collection and the online merchandise store. I'm hoping this doesn't bode ill for the flagship Hamlin location that was planned for later this year...
