The Mess: A Pirate Gathering Spot
The first space you’ll encounter is The Mess, a lively hall that once served as a mess hall for Spanish soldiers before being seized by a band of cunning pirates. Look up and you’ll see a ship’s bell, rumored to be from Captain Redd’s first ship, gifted to Merry, the tavern’s founder. The air is thick with speculation about their relationship – are they friends or rivals?
Gather around the long tables, perfect for sharing tall tales with fellow pirates. An old anchor, adorned with candles, serves as a unique chandelier, casting an eerie glow upon the scene. Don’t miss the Mermaid Windows, salvaged from a notorious pirate ship, encrusted with barnacles and brimming with untold mysteries.
Venture to the far end of the room to find The Brig, a dark corner that still bears the bars and framework of its former life as a holding cell. The door, however, lies nearby, pried off its hinges long ago. If you find yourself seated here, mind your manners, for the walls are said to remember every rascal they’ve ever held captive.
Cursed Bar: A Trove of Pirate Treasures
The Cursed Bar, a massive skull-shaped structure attached to The Mess, is an eye-catching centerpiece. It boasts an impressive collection of rare bottles and prized spoils, all kept safely behind lock and key. This bar has been the backdrop for countless shanties and boasts the best grog this side of Tortuga.
At the heart of the bar sits the Enchanted Rum Bottle, an ornate vessel of grog, honored in its own special cove. Gifted by a powerful enchantress, this bottle ensures that the tavern’s barrels and the pirates’ spirits never run dry. So, let’s hope no one will be left asking, “Why is the rum gone?”
Perched atop the bar, Rummy, a witty parrot, welcomes patrons and keeps a watchful eye on the crew. Always ready with a story, joke, or song, he wobbles out from his roost in the hollow of the skull’s eye, adding a touch of levity to the pirate atmosphere.
Captains’ Quarters: A Glimpse of Finer Life
Step into the Captains’ Quarters and experience a taste of the finer life. Once the private residence of the Spanish Comandante, its walls were adorned with grand artwork and rich drapery. Time and the unruly behavior of pirates have left their mark, with slashes from blades and scorches from hot embers telling tales of daring raids and boisterous celebrations.
In the center of the room, an elegant fireplace casts a warm glow, and atop the mantel sit miniature ships in glass bottles. But be warned! These small vessels are known to come alive, engaging in fierce, bottle-bound battles for any who dare to watch. Don’t get caught in the crossfire!
Captains’ Booths: Echoes of Pirate Legends
Along the wall, discover four grand booths with intricately carved wooden panels. Each booth tells the stories of notorious pirates, their legends still echoing across the seas. Sit, listen closely, and you might just hear their tales whispered on the wind.
A Pirate’s Den of Skill and Chance
Tucked further into the space, venture into a private sitting room where pirates indulge in their favorite games of skill and chance. You may spot the telltale signs of past matches, and perhaps a warning for any bandits thinking of bending the rules. Keep your wits about you; you never know what tricks these pirates might have up their sleeves!
Mapmaker’s Room: Unveiling Pirating Secrets
The Mapmaker’s Room is filled to the brim with rolled-up maps, pieces of parchment, spilled ink, and treasured secrets that once belonged to a crazed pirate cartographer. Some may say he was obsessed, but his maps led to legendary treasures.
Now, pirates gather around the sprawling worktable in the center of the room, where the Mapmaker would have spread out his tools and set to work. On the adjacent wall is a large painted map of the known pirating world, with many pirating secrets to be discovered. Will you be the one to bring them to light?
