Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern: The Beak and Barrel

There is always something exciting happening at the Walt Disney World Resort. And this is probably one of the most exciting announcements I’ve heard in a while. Disney World just announced that there will be a new rumrunner in town, and The Beak and Barrel will become the newest dining spot to join Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.

Get ready to board a fully immersive pirate tavern, where all mates, pirates, scallywags, and buccaneers are welcome.

The Beak and Barrel Backstory

No Disney eatery would be complete without a good backstory, and The Beak and Barrel is no different. So let’s dive into the story of how this new tavern is going to be joining Adventureland.

The Beak and Barrel is owned by Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn, accompanied by her first mate Rummy. The two of them make a legendary pair of rumrunners, who have traveled around the world discovering the very best food and drinks from the seven seas.

Rummy is Merry’s most trusted friend and first mate. Though very talkative, he does an excellent job as the tavern’s quartermaster. He ensures that guests enjoy their time and can often be found telling stories of when Rummy and Merry were sailing the seas.

He can primarily be found relaxing above the bar, Rummy still takes his job very seriously and ensures that the tavern is well.

Fun Fact: Some true Disney World Pirates of the Caribbean fans might notice that Rummy looks a lot like Barker Bird that sat at the entrance of Pirates of the Caribbean. Barker Bird left his post a while ago and hasn’t been seen since.

Additionally, there is an Enchanted Rum Bottle found at the bar. The bottle was a gift from the enchantress Tia Dalma to Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn.

Park the Plot: Does enchantress Tia Dalma sound familiar? She was first introduced in the second Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Man’s Chest. Tia Dalma is the human form of the sea goddess Calypso who was the love of Davy Jones.

In the Captain’s Quarters there are five miniature ships in glass bottles mounted above the fireplace. Each bottle represents a pirate from the different parts of the world (possibly ships we’ve already been introduced to) coming together to defeat the tyranny.

The Captains Quarters have also been rumored to once be the living quarters of a great Spanish Comandante.

What To Expect At The Beak and Barrel

The Beak and Barrel is set to have savory sips, and delicious bites that will send your taste buds on an adventure! Not to mention all of the decor around the tavern that has so much happening there is always something to discover.

There are two primary areas within The Beak and Barrel; The Mess, and Captains’ Quarters.

The bar within The Mess, is easily identifiable with its’ skull-shaped stern in the middle. At the bar, you might see Rummy sitting above ensuring that everything is in ship-shape. Or you might find Rummy along the bar’s edge giving toasts to pirates, or sharing stories of him and Merry sailing the seven seas.

The Captains’ Quarters continues the pirate vibe with slashed curtains and paintings where a pirate fight probably broke out. The main ‘attraction’ in this room is the miniature ships in a bottle.

If you look closely you might be able to see these ships come to life in battle.
