Restaurants set sail for Talk Like a Pirate Day

The Black Sheep

This pub in Ashland, Ore., will co-host a local Talk Like a Pirate Day event, serving up themed dishes like “walk-the-plank” flank steak salad, vegetarian pirate pie, and pouring drinks called the Blackbeard and the Naval Grog. More adventurous seafarers can ask for items from the undisclosed “secret menu.”

Long John Silver's

The Louisville, Ky.-based chain gets its name from Long John Silver, a villainous pirate in Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novel Treasure Island.

Pirates Alley Cafe

The pirate-themed spot in New Orleans will promote its new lineup of French absinthe on Sept. 19. Pours of this green contraband liquor will fetch a price of $15 and up.

Pirates dropping anchor at this Vancouver, Wash. gastropub on Sept. 19 can wet their gullets with three new beers: Raisin’ Caine, Hunt For Grey October and Captain Slappy’s Swashbuckler Stout.

Long John Silver’s

Long John Silver’s continues to celebrate its literary namesake this year by giving away gold to scallywags in the form of free deep-fried Twinkies. Customers at the seafood chain simply have to offer their best pirate impersonation to claim their booty.
