“You know, that sexy pirate look,” but with White Castles
May 22nd, 2007 by Brian Ries in Gossip, Openings/Closings, RestaurantsIt’s time to prepare your stomach for a hot stack of steam-grilled “slydersâ€. White Castles are comin’, baby! Pirates Cove — “a 1930’s pirate pin-up themed bar slash convenience store,†according to owner Shawn Kaplan – is slated to open this week in Channelside. Kaplan plans on dishing out those gloriously gooey hamburgers through a special arrangement with White Castle HQ. Except for the frozen stuff (which doesn’t count, so don’t fool yourself), Pirates Cove will be the only authentic, steam-grilled White Castles south of Tennessee.
Pirate’s Cove will also be open for breakfast to take care of the cruise ship crowd, feature live acoustic music in the evenings and stay open as late as 3:30 a.m. on the weekends. According to Kaplan, “this is a bodega, so you can get medicine, condoms, candy as well as enjoy a huge selection of high-end beers and wine in the bar.â€
