Yo ho ho and bottle of rum — Downtown bar The Eleanor has been transformed into a seafaring saloon for the second year in a row.
If nautical nonsense be something you wish, Shipwreck’d is open now through Sunday, Aug. 30. The immersive experience serves original cocktails, plus shots + shareable punches, and a menu of light bites, all to the tune of sea shanties.
Psst — folks who dress up as a pirate will get 10% off their tab and the best costumes could win $500. Here’s what we recommend:- The “Siren’s Song” cocktail with pandan, yuzu, and neroli essence
- The "Cannonball Old Fashioned," which is capped off with the entire bar yelling "fire in the hole"
- The "Gunpowder Popcorn," which is a ridiculously good bar snack
Happy hour is held from 3 to 6 p.m. daily, during which folks who buy a Shipwreck'd cocktail can get a free shot. |

The Wrap
| In case I haven't already told you, being near a body of water is my ideal summer activity. The cream of the crop is floating the river in San Marcos, which I spent many an afternoon doing in college. If that sounds like fun to you, check out my guide to San Marcos. |
