It's a hidden treasure, buried in the side of a Las Olas beachfront building. Find it and you've got plenty of sake. The walls are covered in graffiti that ranges from your run-of-the-mill "Jolly Roger was here '07" to elaborate sketches that must've taken several visits to finish. The décor is simple: pirate shit all over. Adding to the intimacy, the Pirate Republic seems to be mostly a locals hangout; a lot of the people who work at the area bars and restaurants drift in for a beer and some late-night grub. The place has great ceviche, the perfect companion for your Landshark Lager. The Republic doesn't serve hard liquor but makes up for it with a wide selection of sake, wine, and beer.
A room full of beer-swilling pirates swaying to loud AC/DC near the beach would be the best place to take the cool guests you're hosting — that is, folks you want to get drunk with, and set to reminiscing, not people you need to impress. This would be true even if the Pirate Republic were nothing more than a laidback bar across the street from the beach with cheap beer and good-looking girls. But it's a little more than that. Take the décor: Its walls are covered with pirate paraphernalia – skulls, planks, and more black flags than a Henry Rollins scrapbook. Plus, there's a store next door that sells mementoe ss, including "I want your booty" panties and life-size pirate dolls.
