One of our favorite restaurants here in Atlanta was the late lamented Dante’s Down the Hatch, a high end fondue restaurant which was not pirate themed per se, but which did have a galleon inside it, in (literally) alligator-infested waters, with a live jazz combo on the deck of the boat.

The ship caught fire and burned down one night after closing (basically gutted the entire interior of the building), but fortunately the alligators were safe.
