It's definitely a dive bar, but it has a wonderful view of the beach. Fast and courteous service. The food was plentiful and delicious. Worth the money. Get the Tex Mex nachos. You won't be disappointed. Alcoholic beverage was strong and delicious.

If you want to drink fun cocktails out of buckets with your feet in the sand, you've come to the right place. Everything about this place makes you feel like you're on vacation. You can watch the waves and the beach scene, with a bit of shade and some homemade nachos. Do try the nachos; I believe they make their own chips and they're just delicious.

The beach shack vibe here was incredible (reminded me of Key West), and the food was delicious, while simple/true to style. Go for the relaxed atmosphere!

I really wanted a place on the beach With drinks and live music. We drove up to pirate's patio and my husband immediately said no way. He thought it looked like a dive and decided that we wanted to go somewhere else.. We ended up walking down the strip to the pier and back. There was a security guard at the pier and I asked him where we could get good food he gave us a suggestion of the landmark but when we went over there we didn't like the menu. The security guard had also had suggested pirate's patio because I wanted to place on the beach. He said that they have really good pizza so I convinced my husband to go. Their drink menu is small not many Draft or cocktail options. We did find drinks that we both liked. We ended up getting the godfather pizza. The godfather is pepperoni sausage and cherry peppers. Pizza was amazing. My husband said it was the best pizza hes had in years. The view was stunning. The weather was beautiful. And John our server was great. We would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.
