Aye ye hairy scalawags! Sept. 19 is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, and this year it falls on a Saturday!
Join the Bears for their annual Pirate Pub Crawl, starting at 4:30 p.m. They’ll pillage and plunder five drinking establishments along Wilton Drive until about 8:30 PM. Join the crew for the whole crawl or hop aboard whenever your schedule allows. There will be a prize for the best pirate costume. “Tickets” (you won’t actually get a ticket, but your name will be on the attendee list) are $5 and cover the cost of mid‑voyage snacks. Go to BOSFL.org to register and get your treasure map with more details, including when they’ll be sailing from bar to bar.
Five, Six, Seven, Eight!

BITES
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
The restaurant business is a tough one and, unfortunately, these places didn’t make it:
Voodoo Brewing Company in Oakland Park, which opened in April 2025. It never developed much of a following.
Giorgio’s Bistro & Bakery, on Galt Ocean Dr, opened in early 2025, has closed, but the Hollywood location remains open.
Right around the corner from Giorgio’s, Thasos Greek Taverna closed a few months ago. Meat Market Steakhouse in Boca Raton purchased the venue in June and plans to open a branch of the steakhouse there.
Just six months after its grand opening in Feb., Mystic Table in West Palm quietly shuttered. In fact, the grand opening sign still hangs above the front doors.
There are rumors that two restaurants on the North end of the Drive may be closing. One wouldn’t be much of a shock, but the other appeared to be doing quite well.
