104 MiAMi LiViNG ML SELECTS The Pirate Republic Bar Words by Marta A Oppenheimer Avast! Follow pirate statues through an alley right on Ft. Lauderdale beach to The Pirate Republic Bar. With its long wooden tables and Jolly Rogers hanging everywhere, this is the perfect place to drink a mean Grog (lime, sugar, and Sake) served by a saucy wench. Order a bucket of beer, listen to live music, and read the writing on the walls, "Daniel loves Annemarie," to discover pirate secrets and declarations of love. Greet Roberto, the captain of the bar. With golden hoops dangling from his ears, long hair, and tattoo- covered arms; he probably just stepped off The Black Pearl. Play a Bimini Ring Game at your own risk. If the ring on the string does not connect with the hook on the wall, a Walk on the Plank (Sake and beer) might be inevitable. Arr! No need for treasure maps to find a "Kiss Me I am a Pirate" bumper sticker. A shop next to the bar offers more than 2,000 pirate items. Always wanted to look like Johnny Depp? Get the black outliner! The last Saturday of every month mingle with people dressed as pirates, wenches, and damsels in distress! Walk the plank at 234 Almond Ave., Ft Lauderdale; (954) 779-7677.
