Ahoy, landlubbers! Celebrate National Pirate Month at Rockpit Brewing on August 16

Arggggg... Get onboard with Rockpit Brewing or ye be made to walk the plank!

Ahoy, landlubbers and professional beer drinkers—National Pirate Month is upon us, and Rockpit Brewing is celebrating the occasion the only way they know how: with booze, bad decisions, and a lot of people yelling “ARRR” for no good reason... Sounds good to us!!

Join Rockpit Brewing at 10 W Illiana St, Orlando on Thursday, August 15 for an evening of pirate-themed cocktails and beers, a treasure hunt that definitely won't involve digging up the floorboards, a drunk spelling bee (because why not), and a costume contest that separates the true pirates from the ones who just slapped on an eye patch from CVS.

Check out the latest bar, club, and nightlife news from Orlando before you go!

Treasure Hunt — Starts at 7 PM and continues throughout the night, with new “treasures” being hidden in the taproom as the evening goes on. Yes, we’re enabling your competitive side and your drinking habit.

Drunken Pirate Spelling Bee — 7:30 PM. Spelling + alcohol = entertainment. For you. Not the participants.

Costume Contest — 8:30 PM-ish. Full-blown pirate garb if you want to win. If your costume cost less than $6, you can still wear it, but we’re judging you (and not just your costume).

Prizes? Of course. Details coming soon. But trust us—they’re good enough to motivate at least a mild effort.

Dress like a pirate. Drink like a sailor. Spell like you forgot your meds.
