If you are in Ft. Lauderdale and get a hankering to pull your boat up to a super cool bar and have a tropical slushy rum drink (or fifty) you *must* stop at the Pirate Republic.
We chose this place as the rendezvous point to meet our good friends Jaime and John-Mark, who flew in from Chicago to spend 5 days with us. Not only does this place have a fabulous laid-back vibe and great drinks and food, it's owned by cruisers! The wife, Claudia is a beautiful Brazilian woman with a beaming smile and peppy zest, and her husband (who's name I never got) actually looks like a pirate. Very authentic.
What was best was that they (without batting an eye) let us keep our boat tied up to their dock over night for free (granted - we did sit there for 8 hours and drink our weight in margaritas) but they were incredibly accommodating and Claudia even sat with us for a while and shared cruising stories with us.
If you like a very casual, laid-back place that is 100% cruiser friendly, than Pirate Republic bar is your place!
Love,
Brittany & Scott
Well from the picture of the sign and what is in the background I was trying to figure out where it is. Is it new? I have spent a bit of time up and down the intracoastal in Lauderdale, but don't remember seeing it.
ReplyDeleteAHA! Looked it up on Google--what a novel idea. It is the old Shirttail Charlies on the New River.
ReplyDeleteJealous just looking at the picture and thinking of what a slushy run drink would taste like in the sunshine. I'm drinking one with you in spirit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind of place!
