A fun bar and usually has a band. Wonderful atmosphere and crowd More

We always would go see the great Big Al Carson but this time saw Willie Lockett who is also so very talented but the big star was Mark Penton and the Pentones. We went 3 times during the last visit after first seeing the group in March. He plays 4pm to 8pm and thats when the 3 for 1 specials... More

It's like your neighborhood bar. One big happy family. We always make sure to catch Mark & The Pentones. Unbelievable talent!!!!! New cd just released WE ONLY DRINK AT WORK is a must have!

Funky Pirate not the greatest lounge bar but Big Al Carson is its greatest assest! He has such a great voice, and a huge personality. Loved every minute of his music. Only downside was the staff at the bar insisted we buy at least one drink per set. We are not huge drinkers and tipped whenever the bucket was brought... More

We just happened upon the Funky Pirate as we walked down Bourbon Street and loved the music coming out of there. Big Al Carson is great - not only sings original sets all night - he entertains the crowd as well with his friendly banter. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. We liked it so much, we came back... More
