“ Love this Lil spot! If youre a hunter s Thompson fan, show dean some love! It's a great place to bring your (we'll behaved) dog and soak up some sun. I showed up early and had the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, which was perfectly seasoned AND they let me add a side of ham for my beloved dog. It's waterfront on calm, shallow, brackish water is perfect for a dip with your 4 legged friend or with small children.With a comprehensive food and drink menu you can satisfy any craving without spending a small fortune. 10/10 would recommend you come sample this slice of backwoods paradise. On your boat? No problem. They even have a dock for the pirate on the go. ”

“ Second trip to Pirates Cove. Same as the first—still the same old waterfront dive bar that feels like it’s been frozen in time. If you’ve spent any time growing up around water with parents who just kind of let you roam free so they can drink in peace, you know exactly what I mean. Now that I’m an adult, I somehow find myself dragging my own kids to places like this, just so my wife and I can have a drink while the kids do their thing in what we’ll consider a “safe” environment. The food... it’s fine. It’s always fine. They serve it with the kind of indifference you’d expect from a place like this. If you’re the type who needs your meal served with a side of “care,” this probably isn’t your spot. The burgers? Solid. You get it one of two ways: their way or plain. Honestly, just take it their way and save everyone the trouble. Fries are decent—fresh-cut potato wedges—and the onion rings are hot, just like you want them. Drinks? Cold. A little overpriced, but whatever, it’s a damn vacation on the coast. If you were looking for deals, maybe you should’ve stayed in Missouri. Would’ve snapped a pic of the food, but I was too hungry. And, let’s be real, you already know what a burger looks like. ”

“ A lot of bad reviews. But don't listen to the snotty cities people. Food was good bar food good drinks. They don't kiss your ass. Loved the place. Great dive bar. The dogs were a blast. ”

“ Best by boat but you can get there by car. Great burgers and onion rings ”

“ Pirates Cove was a great place for us to bring our dog and have him swim. It’s bar food was fair. We had the chicken fingers. The bartenders were very nice and the people on the beach with their dogs seem to integrate and have conversations very easily with us. It was fun.! ”

“ We were on a family vacation and stumbled upon this place. It was an experience. Haha! Our family shared the chicken tender platter, fries, wings, and we split the cheeseburger. Everything we are was delicious and fresh. Despite the busy crowd, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The atmosphere was unique, laid back, while also relaxing feeling the breeze off of the bay. If you are in the area, stop by and give them a try! You won't regret it! ”

“ Such a cool place! It’s a dog friendly beach, so, we love to take the pups there to have their fun-in-the -sun while on vacation! They have good food and drinks, too. You can take an ice chest with non-alcoholic beverages, but, it is a private beach so they ask you leave your own alcohol in the car and purchase there. ”

“ Very nice environment and good food. Service was very fast. The best part is, animals are welcome! My mom had her dog and my niece brought her birds! We had a blast watching all the dogs play together on the beach! ”
