Ever wished you could drink outside in a beer-filled paradise that shares the same moniker as the infamous punch you threw in third grade that floored that fifth grader who said your Stussy jester drawing sucked? Well, lucky you, because now you can at The Deck, open seven days a week and, starting today, ready to blow you away with...

Ambiance: Part of the Golden Nugget's $150 million renovation, this 500-person-fitting dockside biergarten replaces the old Trump Marina with a now umbrella-tented indoor/outdoor space with refurb'd decking, multiple bars, and all-Summer walk-up access from the casino, or your boat, and by boat we mean sweet striped boogie board.

Booze-biance: Expect (yawn) 100oz tabletop beer towers, 15 five-beer bucket offerings, eight 20oz tipples served in their very own cocktail shakers, and $3 shots of Jager & Honey Jack, also what Carrie Bradshaw says whenever Berger's all "Hey Care-bear, what's the best Mariah Carey song featuring Jermaine Dupri?".

Food-biance: The menu's crammed with fish shack classics, like a beer-battered cod sando w/ Cajun remoulade, a Kaiser-roll-hugged tempura crab cake w/ tartar, and crispy coconut shrimp slathered in sour chili sauce. There's also 'za, meatball subs, cheesesteaks, and even The Deck Burger, also what Carrie Bradshaw says whenever Jack's all "Hey Care-Care, thanks for the tip on that Mariah song. One other thing: what was it you wanted me to refinish this weekend?".

And in case you prefer drinking outdoors with, ugh, live music, they've got a full lineup of nightly awesome kicking off tonight and including a legendary weekend dedicated to the East Coast's best tribute bands, and a one-of-a-kind Bubba Gump Shrimp Fest, which damn sure sounds like it'll be off the Stussy chain.
