Located directly under the roof just outside the Plaza del Sol Caribe, the ironwork is of an intricate design. Within the last few days the walls have also received a new layer of paint. Blue painter's tape and plastic coverings can still be seen along the newly painted walls and ceiling beams.

Steel frames for the walls were installed in November 2024, followed by wall texture and shading in December.

The tavern is currently scheduled to open later this year. The plot will expand the story of Pirates of the Caribbean and reintroduce Peg-Leg Pete, also known as the Barker Bird. New concept drawings of the space were released in November 2024. The venue is expected to take over the footprint of the former Pirates League transformation experience, which permanently closed in 2020.

The new space, as described on the Disney Parks Blog, will be a place where “…outlaws and would-be privateers from all corners of the seven seas are welcome to come together and toast the pirate life!”
