A brand new pirate bar and lounge is opening at Magic Kingdom this year called The Beak and Barrel, and we finally have an opening date and a first look at some of the highly themed menu items!
Ahoy! Drop anchor and raise a toast at this spirited pirate tavern serving seaworthy sips and snacks for all ages.
This experience will be inside Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World, and is geared for pirates of all ages, and features lite bites and a variety of cocktails!
FIRST, let’s take a look at the food, or bites, we can expect at Beak and Barrel:
Kraken’s Catch – Blimey! The adventurous foodies out there will have their eye on the Kraken’s Catch. This cold salad is quite unique with octopus tentacles – yes, you heard that right – marinated in lemon and lime juice and paired with olives, bell peppers, avocado, and Piquillo pepper-almond foam.
Island Provisions – Once they taste it, pirates will soon be telling tales of Island Provisions. This dish takes flair and flavors from the Caribbean and Central America regions. Grab your crew for this shareable bite with plantain chips, blue corn tortillas, and toasted flatbread served with various savory dips.
Cook’s Corn Griddle Cakes – The treasure map has led to the Cook’s Corn Griddle Cakes. This warm corn cake is stuffed with melted cheese, lime sour cream, and chili peppers topped with cotija cheese. There are two paths you can take on your foodie adventure – one with roasted corn and poblano peppers or one with chipotle-braised chicken.
NOW, ON TO THE DRINKS:
Salty Seas mARRRgarita – For adult pirates, there’s quite the selection of refreshing, colorful cocktails to enjoy, like the Salty Seas mARRRgarita. This drink features Southeast Asian flavors, such as ube which gives it the striking purple color, as well as Lalo Blanco Tequilla, Cointreau Liqueur, and lime.
Siren’s Whisper – I think I may hear a siren song drawing us to the next drink … The Siren’s Whisper will lure you in with its captivating blue color and promises of eternal youth. It combines Pot & Column Still White Rum with citrus and spice. This sip was inspired by the Fountain of Youth, also known as the Aqua de Vida from the films. For the final drop of allure, the drink is topped with a special siren tear.
Barrels Ablaze – Next up, we’ve got the Barrels Ablaze. If you’ve got a taste for bourbon, you’ll find treasures with this one. It features Jack Daniel’s Bonded Bourbon, a hint of honey, and a dash of spice.
Hibiscus Rum Punch Royale – Yo ho, yo ho, it’s the Hibiscus Rum Punch Royale for me. As you sip, you’ll enjoy the lightly sweet and refreshing taste of this rum-based drink topped with prosecco. The bubbly effervescence combined with hibiscus, demerara and citrus will make you feel like you’re charting the Atlantic.
Port of Call – For those gin-loving pirates out there, Port of Call is the drink for you. This delightful sip brings the flavor. With London Dry Gin, Ruby Port, lemon juice, and spiced cranberry, you’ll be wanting to live the pirate’s life.
Lit Fuse – You don’t need to search uncharted waters to find this next beverage. The Lit Fuse is quite the tasty concoction. With Los Siete Misterios Doba -Yej Meszal, and flavors of banana, coconut, and smoked chili bitters, this beverage will light up your taste buds.
Plunderer’s Punch – Where’s the rum gone? Into the Plunderer’s Punch! It has Kraken Black Spiced Rum, blackberry, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. For some added treasure to take home with you, this sip comes in a souvenir pirate skull mug. This special loot is limited to one per guest.
Wines and Exclusive Draft Beers – Finally, for the beer buccaneers out there, you’ll be impressed with this lineup, savvy? The Beak and Barrel will be home to exclusive draft beer, including Victory Brewing Co. Pirate’s Paradise Blonde Ale and Wicked Weed Brewing Berried Treasure Session Sour, as well as bottled and canned lager and IPAs, such as Modelo Especial Lager, Red Stripe Lager, and Bell’s Two Hearted IPA.
The wine connoisseurs will also be saying, “shiver me timbers,” with wine by the glass options from various places across the seven seas available. These include the Spice Route ‘Chakalaka’ Red Blend, Quinta de Santiago Vinho Verde, and the Viarae Prosecco.
There are two non-alcoholic cocktails for all ages:
The Treasure Trove – an imaginative non-alcoholic beverage cloaked in mystery. As you sip on this mix of ube, lemon, and coconut, you can also snack on some sweet treats, like a vanilla cake plank, chocolate cannonball, and golden caramel popcorn.
The Cursed Treasure – This features a delicious combination of coconut milk and cookie crumbs topped with vanilla foam and pirate’s gold cookie. It’s that iconic cookies and cream flavor, in drink form.
They also gave us a sneak peek at some of the new merchandise coming for Beak and Barrel, a t-shirt and a shoulder plus:
Well this all looks so tasty and fun! You know a nautical themed place will always have some dish with tentacles in it to look dramatic, but honestly it’s usually very tasty! I have yet to try an octopus dish that wasn’t good. So we’ll be there to try everything adventurous and have fun once it opens!
