“Look for the wooden door & red light.” That’s the message that lures new cocktail enthusiasts to Tampa’s newest bar, Morgan’s Cove. The pirate-themed speakeasy, located at 210 N Morgan Street, is the latest venture by the team that brought Don the Beachcomber to Pinellas County.
Named after the legendary pirate Henry Morgan, this new establishment captures the adventurous spirit of its namesake. Henry Morgan, commissioned by the Kingdom of England, spent much of his life in the Caribbean, seizing Spanish ships and invading colonies in Jamaica, Cuba, and Venezuela. For his exploits, he was knighted by King Charles II in 1674.
