hurricane Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If you ever St. Augustine way in Florida, be sure to spend an evening at the Taberna del Gallo. It is a great replica of a mid 18th century pub, about as authentic as it gets. Candles light the room, the Bilge Rats regale the audience with songs of the sea and there's no sign of any technology. Ya feel guilty even having a cellphone in your pouch. Amazing experience! The Pyrates of the Coast had a great time there - swilling sangria, hard cider and of course, fine ales. Bring your own tankard and prepare to sing along. Here's some photos... the one looks staged but that's the way it really is... lots of folks in costumes and kids are welcome until the Bilge Rats get a little period risque... -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

capnwilliam Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Aye, 'tis a great place! The whole Bilge Rat group wasn't there the night we were; but we got to hear and jaw with one of the lads from the group. The whole Spanish Village is great! It made me think of what the French Quarter must once have been like! :) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
