Back before the invention of sports bars and ginormously large TV screens, people used to congregate in pubs to drink, start fights, and get stabbed. Sadly, sword play is no longer allowed (health and safety regulations), but wouldn’t it be fun to at least enjoy the atmosphere of yesteryear with a pub inside a mock pirate boat?

Piracy has already made a trendy return (Somali pirates and internet pirates are already hot, and the Pirate Flu is next in line after H1N1), yet there is no place for today’s pirates to go to enjoy wine, women and song. It’s time for some brilliant entrepreneur (or a brave person to pitch it on Dragon’s Den). The concept is hidden gold (geddit?): customers are served by pirates in a pub that looks like a pirate ship. It has costumes, beer, barrels of rum, comely wenches and costumes (getting stabbed strictly optional).

Go ahead... pillage this idea.
