Disney shared photos of the completed interior of The Beak and Barrel, the new Pirates of the Caribbean bar at Magic Kingdom. The bar takes over the former Pirates League space and a courtyard.
The Beak and Barrel
The Mess
The Beak and Barrel has multiple rooms, the first being The Mess. This large space was once a mess hall for Spanish soldiers before it was claimed repurposed by pirates. Rummy the bird will appear here — you can see him on a shelf behind the bar.
Above the door is a large ship’s bell, rumored to be from Captain Redd’s first ship. Redd gifted Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn the bell when Merry established the tavern. The pirates are “close friends, or perhaps fierce rivals.”
An old anchor covered in candles acts as the chandelier. The detailed Mermaid Windows to one side were salvaged from the wreckage of an infamous pirate ship and remain caked with barnacles and “filled with mystery.”
At the far end of the room is The Brig, which still has the bars and framework of its past life. The doors were pried off their hinges and sit nearby. Some guests will be lucky enough to be seated in The Brig.
Cursed Bar
Anchored to the side of The Mess is a skull-shaped bar with a collection of rare bottles and prized spoils. At the heart of the skull is the Enchanted Rum Bottle, which was gifted by a powerful enchantress, ensuring the tavern’s barrels and the pirates’ cheer will never run dry as long as the bottle stays full.
Rummy — Captain Merry’s first mate who is by the original Pirates of the Caribbean Barker Bird — will welcome patrons, keep an eye on the crew, and share stories, jokes, and songs. He’ll wobble in and out of his roost in the hollow of the skull’s eye.
Captains’ Quarters
The next room is the Captains’ Quarters. This was once the private residence of the Spanish Comandante and retains finer elements like grand artwork and rich drapery. But the pirates have left their marks — literally, with swords.
In the center of the Captains’ Quarters is a glowing fireplace. On the mantel are miniature ships in glass bottles. These will come alive and engage in battle.
Captains’ Booths
In the Captains’ Quarters are four grand booths with intricately carved wooden panels. These tell stories of the exploits of notorious pirates.
In the corner is a “private sitting room” where pirates partake in their favorite games. The table has a built-in checkers board.
Mapmaker’s Room
The last room is the Mapmaker’s Room, filled with rolled up maps, parchment, spilled ink, and “many treasured secrets that belonged to a (some may say) crazed pirate cartographer.”
The worktable in the center of the room is now a gathering space for pirates. On the wall is a painted map of the known world.
Disney shared a look at The Beak and Barrel signage on Thursday. The Beak and Barrel opens on August 29. Two months of reservations were booked within an hour of them opening. Check out a preview of the bar’s food and beverage items.
