A special shoutout to local photographer Jessie Haughton of Jessie Haughton Photography for the incredible work she did capturing content at Pirates Bar & Grill and Pirate's Pizza & Wings this past week!
Jessie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She brought creativity, professionalism, and a remarkable ability to understand and bring our vision to life while delivering stunning results. Her attention to detail and talent behind the camera made the entire experience seamless, and we couldn't be happier with the content she created.
If you're looking for a photographer who can capture your brand, event, or special moments with excellence, we highly recommend reaching out to Jessie Haughton for all your photography needs.
While you're here on the island, be sure to stop by Pirates' new location at The Lighthouse by the water tower! This location will soon transition into an exciting brunch and lunch concept, and we can't wait to share more details with you. We're excited to welcome you, serve delicious food, and unveil our brand-new sign coming soon.
Thank you again, Jessie, for helping us showcase our businesses so beautifully!

We’ll be closed today at Pirates as we take care of some necessary repairs and making a few upgrades to the property.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support—it means a lot to us.
We’ll be back open tomorrow and returning to regular hours, 7 days a week from 11 AM – 9 PM.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Have a great day!

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued support—for your shares, likes, comments, and for choosing to spend your time with us. It truly means more than we can say.
We’ve heard you loud and clear. We know some of your favorites (and a few of ours!) didn’t make it onto the current Pirate menu. When we purchased this property, our goal was to keep the Pirate brand alive, and that remains at the heart of everything we’re doing. While we’re currently operating in a smaller space in the lighthouse building—a space we’ve really come to love—our focus has been on preserving that spirit while continuing to support our incredible team as construction continues at our larger location.
This location isn’t going anywhere. Even after Bienville Bar & Grill opens, we plan to keep this spot running, with ideas already in the works to potentially transition it into a brunch and lunch destination, as well as a rentable space for parties and events—just like we did this past Saturday.
Now for the exciting part: we’re aiming for a mid-to-early June opening of our larger location, and we can’t wait to welcome you in. There, we’ll be bringing back many of your most requested favorites from the original Pirates menu—including the Conecuh and lump blue crab dip, Flounder Pontchartrain, turnip greens, and more.
Be sure to follow along for updates on the Bienville Bar And Grill page. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us—we appreciate each and every one of you!

With the upcoming DIPOA election, I encourage my fellow Dauphin Island property owners to take a close look at three candidates I believe can help move our community forward: Will Donaldson, Edwin Lamberth, and Dominic Carlucci.
After reviewing last month’s DIPOA meeting, I was impressed by Will Donaldson’s vision—particularly his focus on the potential to transform the space into another restaurant for our residents and visitors. His approach reflects the kind of forward-thinking leadership our community needs. He also raised an important point about the long-term sustainability of subsidizing the golf course. At some point, we have to ask how much investment is reasonable without a clear return.
Edwin Lamberth also stood out to me. With his legal background and thoughtful perspective, I believe he can bring greater transparency and accountability to the board—something many of us have been asking for.
Dominic Carlucci has already demonstrated his commitment through years of hands-on involvement. From volunteering his time to maintain and improve the property to supporting tenants and community needs, he has consistently shown dedication and care for Dauphin Island. If anyone can find a way to keep the golf course viable, I believe it’s Dominic—his passion and commitment to it are clear. Over the years, he has invested significant personal time and effort to help maintain a usable golf course facility.
Together, I believe these three candidates represent experience, integrity, and a shared commitment to the future of our community. This is an important moment for DIPOA, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting candidates who are focused on progress—not personal agendas.
I encourage everyone to reach out to these candidates directly, ask questions, and get involved. Your vote matters.

I wanted to keep the Pirate brand alive. It’s something I started more than 10 years ago, and it means a lot to me. That’s why I made the decision to move the Pirate brand into this new building and continue building on the foundation we created.
Bienville Bar And Grill is currently under construction and is expected to open in June. The Pirate concept will transition into a smaller-scale restaurant within the new lighthouse space, allowing it to stay involved and maintain its identity. Meanwhile, Bienville Bar and Grill will serve as the new flagship location — a bigger, elevated experience for everyone.
This move allows us to honor the past while building something new for the future and Island community.

Construction is scheduled to begin soon with a projected opening set for the last week of March.
