Chiringo will be the new establishment in "downtown" Grayton Beach, in the building on the corner where Shorty's was across from the Red Bar. Rob Fink, VP of Construction + Guerilla Marketing (according to his business card), gave me a tour and a look at the plans by McWhorter Vallee Design. The exterior will be quite different and unique.
The concept is a beach bar with a Mexican twist, and a raw bar. The building is being gutted and redesigned extensively. Chiringo derives from the Spanish word Chiringuito, meaning small beach bar. The upstairs will be one big open area, with lots of windows, and roll up doors so it can be open-air in good weather. The downstairs will feature a large bar and raw bar.
One of the folks involved was a founder of the successful chain of Tin Lizzy's in Atlanta (Flex Mex, similar to Tex Mex but adding in a bit of other cultures).
The plan is for Chiringo to be open in time for Spring Break. Demolition permits are in hand and that phase has begun. Future website will be at http://www.chiringograyton.com
