Legendary hangout remade into fun, almost tasteful, pirate bar. Retains looks, gains detail after stunning detail of seadog splendor with shaggable, yet kinda dorky, customers not afraid to join your crew. Cannons burst from the bar, sails protect private booths, and candles flicker from gentrified skulls. Kitchen open late for burgers, though our rum bottles have to go into a flask. Cut of the...

I had hoped there would be more pirate stuff at this bar but I still had a good time. The drinks are good and I especially like the fish and chips. I just want some more pirate stuff!

Along with the other "entertainers" as well the only word you heard out of their mouths...
