Beak and Barrel Magic Kingdom Pirate Tavern Starts Taking Reservations This Week — Opens the Door to Alcohol and Epcot-Style Drinking Culture

At Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, alcohol will now be more easily accessible than ever before, with the introduction via Beak and Barrel.

This historic moment marks the debut of their very first standalone tavern, The Beak and Barrel, which is set to open in Adventureland, located right next to Pirates of the Caribbean.
