FULL TOUR Inside The Beak and Barrel Pirates of the Caribbean Bar at Magic Kingdom

WDWNT was able to get an early media preview tour inside The Beak and Barrel, the new Pirates of the Caribbean bar at Magic Kingdom. Additional photos were also shared online by Disney. The bar takes over the former Pirates League space and a nearby courtyard.

Entrance

A wooden Beak & Barrel sign hangs near decorative lamps at the Pirates of the Caribbean bar in Magic Kingdom.

Signage for The Beak and Barrel has been added above the door. The handing sign is wooden and designed to look like it was previously submerged in water, as shown by the barnacles growing on the sides.

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 and 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. They remain caked with barnacles and “filled with mystery.”

Two leather chairs and a small table sit below vintage portraits in the cozy Beak and Barrel at Magic Kingdom.

Pirate portraits and other nautical art fills up the walls around the space.

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.

To the left side, the shelves are stacked with nautical props and some hidden Pirates of the Caribbean references.

On the wall to the right of the bar is an announcement board with some lore-filled flyers. A few of them include an advertisement for “Scurvy Cure,” a barber shop, and “Pup & Pillock” with an image of the iconic dog with the keys from the attraction. One poster also advertises a “Puerto Dorado Auction” which references the auction scene from the attraction, with the handwritten adjustment that the chickens are now “Free!”

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

A wooden table in a cave-like room with maps and warm lighting, echoing Pirates of the Caribbean adventure.

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.

According to the bar’s backstory, the pirates had to literally blow their way into the Mapmaker’s Room using a cannon, and remnants of the blast can be seen in the walls.
