"If you want to feel like you’re spending an evening inside a sunken pirate ship captained by dogs at the bottom of the ocean, the Arts District’s Stray Pirate sets the mood for an adventurous evening and masterfully crafted tropical cocktails, perfect for Downtown dilettantes and pup lovers. The walls and ceiling are adorned with ropes, lanterns, decorative glass floats and leis, and the handcrafted custom mugs and paw-printed tiki cups are as creative as the drinks themselves. The Virgin Voyage puts a spirit-free spin on traditional tiki drinks, with a Dry Tai, Jungle Blurred, and Captain’s Choice No-Jito that are just as garnished and aflame as their boozy counterparts. The Pain-Thriller, in particular, is perfectly light, sweet, and coconutty." - Emmy Kasten
