BREAKING: NAME REVEALED for Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern Coming to Magic Kingdom

By Kendall Waltz Leave a Comment

A new pirate-themed lounge is coming to the Magic Kingdom, and we can officially stop calling it the “pirate-themed lounge” because now we know the name!

Welcome to Adventureland

Disney World just dropped a sneak peek (or should we say beak) into the new lounge nestled into Adventureland.

Meet The Beak and Barrel, which is set to open later this year! The story goes that a legendary pirate rumrunner called Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn established this “lively pirate pub.”

Rummy, her first mate, will be the tavern’s quartermaster and keeps an eye on the lounge from a roost at the top. He’s retired from his adventures on the sea but likes to make sure the space is in tip-top shape and loves to share his tale while leading the bar in a few toasts. Look at his peg leg, too! That’s a real pirate right there!

Disney teased that Barker Bird, a parrot previously at the entrance of Pirates of the Caribbean, would return, and “Rummy bears a striking resemblance to the original Barker Bird.”

The main dining room, or The Mess, was once a mess hall for Spanish soldiers, but now welcomes guests with long tables and an anchor filled with candles above. When you enter, you might notice the Enchanted Rum Bottle, which was gifted to Merry and “serves as the source of the tavern’s specialty brews.”

Another room inside, the Captains’ Quarters, will be filled with fine artwork and drapery with burn marks and blade slashes from all other rumbunctious pirates throughout the years.

Above the fireplace are five miniature ships in a bottle representing pirates from different parts of the world, but “these mysterious bottles have been known to come alive and engage in a fearsome battle.” This reminds us of Trader Sam’s, where the whole room becomes interactive with different moving elements and sounds if you order a special drink.

The Beak and Barrel will be family-friendly, and while we don’t know the exact opening date, Disney has teased that it’ll open later this year. Keep following Disney Food Blog for more Disney news!
