Pirate Republic Bar and Seafood 10/19

The Pirate Republic Bar and Seafood recently opened right near my office, in the place formerly occupied by Shirt-tail Charlies for many years. 400 SW 3rd Ave. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315. It is right on the new river and they still have the wooden dock with tables all along it. Now that it is getting cooler outside, this is a nice place for lunch when the weather is right. The menu is fairly big and obviously contained many seafood items. I got the grilled grouper sandwich with sweet potato fries. ($14) The piece of fish seemed fresh and was a nice cut. Overall the sandwich was pretty good, but way to expensive for just a grouper sandwich and fries. My friend had a chicken sandwich with roasted peppers ($9) that looked pretty good. Again, the food was good, but not great, but as noted above, on a nice day, the setting is excellent. 7.0/10
