Alcoholic Beverages at The Beak and Barrel Magic Kingdom
There’s an extensive alcoholic beverage menu at The Beak and Barrel, similar to most bars on Disney property. For starters, there are a handful of signature cocktails from the Siren’s Whisper to the Plunderer’s Punch. The latter is a Kraken black spiced rum, blackberry, lime and vanilla served in a souvenir pirate skull mug. The mug is a pretty cool touch, especially if you’re looking for something to bring home from your vacation that you’ll actually use again.
Aside from cocktails, there’s also a wine menu with blends from Italy, Portugal and South Africa. You’ll also find some choices for rum and draft beer alongside bottled and canned options if that’s more up your alley.
Non-Alcoholic Beverages at The Beak and Barrel Magic Kingdom
The push towards non-alcoholic beverages has made its way to Disney World and you’ll find two on the menu at The Beak and Barrel. These are ideal for those who either don’t drink or for kids who want to participate in the fun.
Cursed Treasure is a sweet dessert beverage that has coconut milk, cookie crumbs and vanilla foam. This was my favorite drink as it tasted similar to a golden Oreo milkshake. The Treasure Trove is another option that is described as an ube, lemon and coconut concoction served with a vanilla cake plank, chocolate cannonball and golden caramel popcorn. I think this is great for kiddos as it’s a fun dessert platter with sweet treats and a drink.
Food at The Beak and Barrel Magic Kingdom
The food menu at The Beak and Barrel is limited to four items ranging in price from $12 to $18. Island Provisions is a great option for those chips and dip lovers like myself since it comes with plantain chips, blue corn tortillas and toasted flatbread with mango chutney, garlic chimichurri, spiced guava and zesty cilantro cream dips. This option is great for sharing, especially if you have a few people in your party and want a little something to munch on.
For a more hearty option, the corn griddle cakes are a solid choice and they can be ordered with or without Chipotle-braised chicken. This was my favorite bite from my time at The Beak and Barrel. I didn’t get to try the Kraken’s Catch (octopus tentacles); however, the table next to me said they were pretty good.
SheBuysTravelTip: Try mixing the mango chutney and the zesty cilantro dip together for a sweet and spicy flavor explosion with the chip of your choice.
Overall Experience at The Beak and Barrel
It’s quite neat to step inside a pirate’s tavern right next to the iconic “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction at Magic Kingdom. There are a lot of hidden gems and details inside, from mermaid windows to ships in bottles that fight each other. Plus, you can’t miss Rummy, the green animatronic parrot who makes appearances intermittently with funny jokes and sing-alongs to participate in.

Overall, I thought this was a unique bar unlike anything else at Disney World, even the holiday overlays at Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar, which I also love.
The only qualm I have is that it’s really rushed and you can feel it. You only have 45 minutes at the table and you will feel like you have to chug your drink and scarf down your bites to beat the clock. The servers also won’t let you forget that you have the table for a limited time, which can detract from the experience.
How to Get a Table at The Beak and Barrel
The Beak and Barrel at Magic Kingdom requires a reservation to get inside. This can be booked 60 days in advance through the MyDisneyExperience app or on the Disney World website. Unlike most restaurants at Walt Disney World which have a walk-up list, this one doesn’t yet since it’s very popular, so you’ll want to book in advance if you can.
