What be PiratePalooza™?

It be an annual pirate-themed pubcrawl which began in 2005, inspired by International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and in honor of the space pirate Captain Drew's birthday. Many people use the name for their own pirate-themed parties (including Disney!) but there be only one true PiratePalooza™, and you're invited!

Tell me more!

It's a Pirate Invasion of Decatarrrr!! The Palooza is divided into two distinct chapters: the PubCrawl and the PubSing.

How much do it cost?

The PiratePalooza™ is bloody free, mate. No stinking badges, no smelly tickets. The food, the drinks, the shirts? Those all be on your nickel, mate. You shouldn't even bother bringing a present, just come to play!

Must I dress like a pirate?

Shah!! You’d look pretty bloody silly if you weren’t dressed like a pirate, now wouldn’t you. Take a little pride in your appearance you scurvy deck monkeys! At the very least wear one of your PiratePalooza T-shirts from a previous year, or buy one from this year so you’ll fit in. Pirates be right divas when it comes to peer pressure.

Where are the T-shirts?

The T-shirts will be available at the final pub on the Palooza route. They are also available for order via PayPal. Simply contact us via Facebook for details.

Weapons Policy

No bare steel. No brandished weapons. We insist that you peace-tie your blades - literally tie them to your belt so that they may not be drawn. If you see someone acting unsafely with a weapon, even a prop weapon, let someone with the bar/restaurant know. Tell other pirates. Don't be shy.

Can I finish my food?

Note that we usually weigh anchor about a quarter 'til the end of each scheduled stop to set sail to the next port of destination. If you have a larger party you might wish to land at one of the locations ahead of us, or stay there after we’ve set sail and catch up to us at another port. You DO NOT have to stay with the party, we don't have rules like that! Please do be sure to enjoy yourself regardless of how you choose to experience the pubcrawl and remember to be gracious tippers and responsible tipplers; we can scarce afford to lose a single sailor to poor judgement – and you must be the Captains of your own ships! Keep a weather eye out for your fellow rogues to keep them safe from harm!

Do I have to print out my ticket?

What ticket???

Do I have to print it out in color?

Okay sure, so you think this is a ticketed event? Fine. Yes. You (and you alone) have to print out your "ticket". Everyone else can do whatever they want. Note: Watch out, Captain Drew may sell you a fake ticket.

What do I get with my membership to PiratePalooza™?

Adventure! Romance! Good beer and great times! (you have to pay for those yourself, by the by) -- you also get a feeling of freedom like you've never felt before. A sense of control in a world that is spiraling ever out of the grasp of the tiny brains of upright monkeys like yourselves. Seriously guys, these questions are boring, got anything better?

Do I have to wear a bra?

Only if you are a very overweight man and there is a chance that your t-shirt might gap open to expose hairy man boobs. The wenches will do what they want, as they've done for millennia (thankfully).

How much do I have to pay for this ticket?

Ticket price is based on the size of your party. Add up your collective weight, divide by the number of people in your party then move the decimal place two places to the left. Please, no checks.

What happens if I get caught sneaking into PiratePalooza™ without my ticket?

We will make you smell our fingers! Or we may turn and look the other way. Come on, let's find out what kind of pirate you really are!

Would you sign my ticket?

Absolutely! They aren't valid without the Captain's signature.
