This new pirate-themed pub at Beach View pairs locally brewed craft ales with old-school tavern games—think pool and darts—in a tucked-away setting that feels like you’ve discovered a sailor’s secret. Below, get the essentials on Stede’s Hideaway, from what to drink to when to go, plus smart tips to make the most of your evening.

Meet Stede’s Hideaway

Beach View’s pirate tavern takes its cue from Barbados’s own swashbuckling lore. Stede Bonnet (1688–1718), the island’s “Gentleman Pirate,” famously swapped a life of comfort for the high seas and captained the Revenge along the Eastern Seaboard, even crossing paths with Blackbeard. That spirit of adventure infuses the experience at Stede’s Hideaway—from the cheeky sea‑worthy banter to a drinks selection that roams from local taps to far‑flung bottles.

• Theme: A cozy pirate’s pub with a playful, nautical tone.
• Games: A pool table and a dartboard keep friendly rivalries alive—“the winner stays on deck…and the loser walks the plank!”
• Setting: Tucked away behind the Seagrape Building on the Classic Side, the location feels like a hidden berth only insiders know about.

What to Drink: From Local Craft Ales to a Seafarer’s Spirits

At Stede’s Hideaway, the bar reads like a treasure map for thirsty travelers.

• Locally brewed craft ales on tap: Explore what’s pouring from Barbados’s craft scene. If you like balanced profiles, ask for something malty; if you prefer brighter notes, look for citrusy or tropical hop aromas. (Tip: Start with lighter styles and move to fuller, bolder pours.)
• Bottled “grog” from distant shores: The global beer list casts a wide net so you can sip your way across styles and regions.
• A ship’s hold of spirits: A vast array of wines, whiskies, rums, vodkas, gins, and tequilas ensures every palate finds its port. Whether you favor a neat pour or a simple mixed serve, the selection is built for discovering new favorites.

General tasting pointers to elevate your round:

1. Start with what you enjoy, then branch out—compare a local craft ale on tap with a complementary bottled style.
2. Cleanse your palate with water between different spirits or heavier beers to keep flavors distinct.
3. If you love aromatics (citrus, spice, herbs), explore gins; if you favor caramel and oak, whiskey might be your course.
4. For a signature island feel, reach for rum—Barbados is world-renowned for it.
