The Scene – Pirate paraphernalia adorns the walls here, but an unlikelier scene for swashbuckling and plunder you'll be hard pressed to find. Brightly lit, non-smoking, and featuring a menu with mostly nutritious grub, the pub is practically wholesome. Unlike other area on-site brewpubs, though, the Jolly Roger doesn't feel like a mere marketing exercise; it's intimate and-especially when the old-fashioned stove warms a bone-chilling winter drizzle-rather cozy. Those who do wish to purchase officially licensed merchandise are accommodated, of course. – – The Draw –…
Great brews on taps. Excellent food. A few annoying drunk guys - but oh well -its a bar!

Excellent beers on tap! And yes the mini-burgers are everything people say they are - delicious! i also had the mahi burgers which were also excellent. Some annoying drunk guys were next to us, but oh well, they can't always be avoided.
I recommend this place if you want to try some good Northwestern Brews. It's a local hang out so be aware that means the vibe people bring may vary.
- Pros: Great example of northwestern micro brews. Great food.
- Cons: local spot - vibe can vary according to the crowd
Really not good at all...
by Philweston at Citysearch
This place is really disappointing. Sorry, but the waitress was extremely rude from beginning to end. I hate this place and I will never go back. I went a a whim, the waitress proved that it was a fail in every way. Worst experience ever. PS. The beer was good, but that hardly makes up everything else that sucked so badly. Please don't go here. You might want to be a pirate like I did, but this is not the place to do it.
- Pros: Thumbs down
- Cons: Rude rude rude service
Really good or really bad.. you will have a great time or a bad time. also
by notimportant at Citysearch
We have been to Maritime many different times and some of those times are great and other's are not good at all. The food always seems to be consistently good. The service waivers from visit to visit. Some nights you have to almost get angry to get a beer and menu, and other times a beer is waiting for you before you even sit down.
The other thing that is on or off. It is amazing how many times they are been out of a well-known style. I don't get it. The brewery is just on the other side of the wall and you can't get but half their beers.
Also please open on sunday.
- Pros: That great Maritime beer. Good food to drink beer with.
- Cons: up and down service. Not all beers are available.
