Why go
Pirate Republic Brewing Company sits on Woodes Rodgers Walk on Nassau’s harbourfront, a short walk from the cruise port, and is the city’s working craft brewery rather than a themed bar that only borrows the name. The tap room pours its own beers brewed on site, and the pirate branding is a nod to Nassau’s own history as a one-time pirate haven rather than just decoration.
The reason to make a point of visiting, beyond a drink by the harbour, is the guided brewery tour: a walkthrough of the working facility that ends with a pretzel and a flight of the house beers.
Visiting: hours, admission, booking
The facts box on this page shows the daily opening hours and the adult price of the guided tour. The tour runs daily except Sunday, with departures at 11:30am and 2pm; there is no need to book ahead, but turning up close to a departure time is the simplest way to join one.
The brewery’s own site has been returning a store-unavailable error rather than its usual pages, so treat the hours above as a good guide and confirm the current schedule by phone or on the ground before planning a visit around them.
Getting there
Pirate Republic Brewing Company is on Woodes Rodgers Walk, right on the Nassau harbourfront, close enough to the cruise terminal to reach on foot if your ship docks there. From elsewhere on New Providence, a taxi to the harbourfront is the simplest way in.
Nearby
The harbourfront puts the brewery within easy walking distance of downtown Nassau’s shops and colonial-era streets; for the rest of what the city offers, see the Bahamas things-to-do page.
