On the John’s Pass Boardwalk in Madeira Beach, Pirates Pub & Grub delivers cold drinks, fresh grouper tacos, the best burgers on the boardwalk, and the kind of pirate-themed waterfront bar energy that John’s Pass does naturally. The views of the pass are extraordinary (dolphins are regularly spotted from the outdoor seating), and the menu covers all the pub bases: gator nuggets, burgers, nachos, fish and chips, and fresh local seafood alongside cocktails built from a variety of rums. The Campeche burger and the fresh-cut fries have their own devoted following. The waterfront location at the active fishing pass makes every cold drink taste better.
