Ben WhelchelSeptember 2, 2011Ask for Marco! He makes the best drinks and is fast! One of the best bartenders ever!!!
You can't beat the drinks at Smuggler's Cove, totally world class.- you can't go wrong with the hot buttered rum or a batida
- Try a Piña Colada. It's not on the menu, but it's the best one I've had.
It's a good idea to limit yourself to no more than two Puka Punches.
Dave NewmanOctober 24, 2013If you're Australian, get the Aku Aku. It's a Pine Lime Splice. It's a fucking PINE LIME SPLICE! I'm drunk.
DPKJanuary 17, 2011One of my favorite barrrrrs! Too bad the barrrrrrrrrr keeps be jerrrrrrrrks! Get the level 4 painkiller
Mr DeadfishNovember 17, 2013The bouncer is really unprofessional. He's rude and called several of our group members names like fags and whores, while also reeking of alcohol. Get your bouncer in check. 11.16.13 is the date.
Try the Norwegian Paralysis! Like the menu says, it's much better than it sounds.
While it's cold outside, end your night with a Hot Buttered Rum, great way to be nice and warm as you head back to transit.
Carolyn TillieSeptember 20, 2012Best place to celebrate "Talk Like a Pirate Day!" with a kick-ass grog...
If you're overwhelmed by the menu, don't get a vodka soda. Ask for bartenders choice.
Alex ArpMarch 27, 2010The atmosphere is outta this world. Its like pirates of the caribbean. Get The Pain Killer, Uhmazing Drink.
Kushal DaveFebruary 10, 2011Get a sheet from the bartender to track your progress through their complete cocktail list.
