The only kind of pirate bar I'd accept is one which exclusively shows random torrents from the latest iteration of The Pirate Bay.

What type of bar theme is generally acceptable? I guess “British pub” works in America if it’s not super tacky but I can’t really think of anything else other than something really generic like “sports bar” or “punk bar”

Wait, that dude with the terrible fishing show who also got into a lot of bar fights had a board game???

Apparently it was acquired as a giveaway from a network event rather than bought in a store, and just as well.

I never heard about the bar fights, but he was Australian, so that seems a given.

My favorite detail of the Captain Dan thread is him being mad that Epic Movie totally ripped them off by also having rapping pirates. Instead of having even a moment of introspection at the fact that his magnum opus was on the level of one of the jokes in a ______ Movie movie.

Sort of - someone who knew the bar owners from that episode popped up in the TVIV thread and filled people in on all the lovely stuff the production did behind the scenes, like installing a tap system that was illegal in their state. The host re-styled the bar as "Corporate," targeted at the white collar happy hour crowd, but apparently there weren't any office workers in that area and the whole thing was a disaster.

i wanna read that but i understand if you dont know where it is, wouldnt expect anyone to have a link to a dead thread

It's pretty hard to gently caress up pirate-themed music, you'd think. Alestorm is pretty awesome.

Captain Dan flipping through the TV channels one morning, flies into a rage when he sees that Disney's peter pan cartoon for toddlers has rapping pirates in it. That should be him on TV, how dare they pilfer his legacy like this.

All you need to know about Piratz is that they were $900,000 in debt, and the owner lived in her mothers basement together with her college-age daughter.

$900,000

Nine. Hundred. Thousand. Dollards. Of other peoples money. So that they can play pirate.

Tbh I think they actually renamed it corporate in part of white collar crime being the new piracy


Also because the owners were people that would sell massive rum bowls with non-well spirits for less than the rum actually cost.

Bailey's, Guiness, servers with questionable accents, lots of wood and stained glass, maybe Rugby on the TV, and bar foods with a twist of the islands (Fish and Crispy Chips! Shepherd's Kobe Pie!)

The British Bankers Club in Menlo Park, CA was a meat market for cougars and Stanford tadpoles.
The Rose and Crown in downtown Palo Alto had a very British menu and tap.

Neither does the fake British accent.

I've been to the Rose and Crown, it felt like a British inspired dive bar which is my poo poo.

Now I regret never visiting British Bankers Club when I was interning out in CA :wiggle:
