Grand opening Saturday September 12 at 7pm.
New Orleans has the Funky Pirate and Pirates Alley Cafe. The Tampa Bay area has Gaspar's Grotto and Pirate's Cove Bar and Grill. And now Atlanta can join the ranks of cities with pirate themed bars; the grand opening of the Pirate's Pub is this Saturday, September 12.
Located at 3979 Buford Highway 30345, the Pirate's Pub will open it's doors 7pm. The menu features a nice array of pub fare, from mussels and crab cakes to wings and quesadillas, perhaps to reflect the varied diet of a pirate who has traveled the seven seas?
The drink list has not yet been posted, but the pub will no doubt feature a variety of tasty ales and specialty drinks. Walk the plank bomb anyone?
I am also willing to bet a million golden doubloons that there will be people dressed up like pirates on opening night, and perhaps every night. So if you feel like having some fun, grab your pirate hat, boots, and friends, and head out to the pub!
From the pub's website:
"The Pirate's Pub is a collection of some of the most scurvy mateys who have ever been forced under the colonial yoke. Though land-locked we be, the sea, the adventure and freedom she promises, is forever calling to us. Our humble public house provides a haven for ourselves and like minded conspirators. Know there is a special hell for betrayers and mutineers but if ye be of like mind, strong heart and respect the code, ye will be forever welcome on board."
I also have to post this from eventful.com because it is so hilarious. Pardon their lack of indentions!
"Calling all hands to the deck! Quartermaster Ferguss Hardwood is demanding your attention! It's time to head to shore and disperse our booty in new and uncharted lands! A new Port has finally opened that will accept us for who we are! See the link above All you scurvy dogs, motley deck hands, peg legged rum soaked bilge rats or, wharf rats and wenches of questionable origin can sail in and relax for a good meal and fine spirits. Captains and bounteous bosom wenches and lady's of royalty are welcomed too! A place to hang yer sword prop yer feet on the table and meet some Judys as well as fill yer gut with AWESOME grub! Join up for an invasion around 7 pm or anytime this weekend for the GRAND Opening of the Pirate's Pub Atlanta. Set your headings ( or GPS) for the intersection of Buford Hwy and Clairmont road (3878 Buford Hwy) and when ye see MeSSBEDragon tied to the pier you know you found the Dockyard. Fer ye folks with those fancy things 33-51-33 North, 18-35-94 West will bring ye into port. All weekend any of the crew that ventures in qualify for drink specials (look for updates) as well as a 20% add to any gift card stolen, errrr purchased. Where else can you find that value for your hard earned doubloons? The Tavern owner Paul has commandeered the late sorely missed Joe Dales' son to master the kitchen and menu so any of you sorry lots that every visited the Bearded Oyster, later Fuzzy's place through the years will be in fer a treat! You should all be exhausted and sober by now after DragonCon and what a better place to relax than in a Pub built with Pirates in mind? So mark the date and make your self heard fer this will be a GRAND opening indeed!"
Atlanta supports restaurants with cuisines from all over the world, but it has been needing more themed restaurants. These types of restaurants can become great tourist spots which helps our local economy, but they can also be really cool local hangouts. Those of us in the underground scene need to support entrepreneurs brave enough to open such a great place.
So don't be a land-lubber! Head to the Pirate's Pub of Atlanta and support your local pirates! Arrgh!
