The new Pirates of the Caribbean bar at Walt Disney World now has its opening date.
The Beak and Barrel will open August 29, next to Pirates of the Caribbean in the Magic Kingdom. Reservations will be available for the all-ages bar starting August 14.
Disney today also shared the menu for The Beak and Barrel, which will serve small plates in addition to Pirate-themed non-alcoholic mocktails and alcohol-fueled themed cocktails. If you don't drink booze, I hope you like coconut, because Disney World's culinary team is leaning hard into that for the mocktails at The Beak and Barrel.
The Treasure Trove, served in a Moscow Mule-like copper mug, has ube, lemon, and coconut flavors, and is served on a plate with a vanilla cake plank, chocolate cannonball, and caramel popcorn. The Cursed Treasure is coconut milk and cookie crumbs topped with vanilla foam and a pirate’s gold-coin cookie.
Cocktails include:
That last one is served in a souvenir pirate skull mug, with a limit of one per guest.
Wines and draft beers also will be available.
The food at The Beak and Barrel will include Kraken's Catch - a marinated cold octopus tentacle salad with olives, bell peppers, avocado, and pepper-almond foam. Other items will include Cook’s Corn Griddle Cakes - served with roasted corn and poblano peppers or chipotle-braised chicken, and a chip and dip plate called Island Provisions.

I'm glad Disney is finally listening to its guests by giving them what they want: cold octopus tentacle salad! /s (To be replaced by chicken nuggets in a month.)
I'm curious to see how many people they can squeeze into this space and how quickly reservations are scooped up. My guess is that prices will be deliberately high to manage demand, and like Oga's, guests will be on a clock when they visit.
I see what Disney is trying to do here - boosting revenue from otherwise underutilized space - but it does seem geared towards the Instagram crowd. Personally, if there were going to build a PotC bar, why couldn't they have found a way to somehow integrate it into the attraction like Blue Bayou. It also makes you wonder that if the goal now is to maximize revenue generation per square foot, when will WDI start designing more restaurants and bars inside attractions, something they've not done recently?
Plunderer’s Punch - Kraken Black Spiced Rum, blackberry, vanilla, and a hint of citrus - Sounds Lovely....
been waiting for this for a VERY long time. i'm old enough to remember the days when we were able to park at the contemporary, went up to top of the world (now california grille), had a couple of drinks and then caught the monorail to the park. late afternoon, we'd find our way over there again, rinse and repeat. when the guard gates came in the late 90's that sadly ended. yes, prices will be high at the new place but that just means i won't overdue it ;)

I can’t wait for the inevitable day when one of the drinks sells out and the bartenders are bombarded with multiple guests asking “But why’s the rum gone?”.
