What do you do when you need to regroup but you can’t take that much-needed vacation? Barefoot Charlie’s Restaurant is all about island attitude at local latitude – a staycation.

The sounds of that classic storyteller, Jimmy Buffett, waft through the building, coaxing visitors to open up and find their island state of mind that he describes so eloquently. Teal plantation shutters cover the windows of the sand-colored stucco building, and inside deco-style wooden tables, chairs, and bar stools are placed throughout. Indeed, the entire décor is designed to remind you of where you want to be. From your table on the back deck, when the weather is right, you can connect with the serenity of the water of Old Hickory Lake. Sure, it is not ocean waves breaking against the shore, but you can imagine.

Barefoot Charlie’s offers fresh, made-from-scratch dishes that reflect that laid-back attitude, with savvy. Our galley crew, supervised by professionally-trained chefs, execute the tropical-inspired menu, from starters to sweet finishes. Don’t stop with the menu – our chefs get to tap their creativity with specials all week. It doesn’t take much money here to buy a license to chill!

Enjoy the full-service bar (voted #1 in Sumner County) with a roster of signature tropical cocktails. Watch your favorite sports game on our giant inch projection screen or one of our flat screens tv’s while enjoying a LandShark or Carib beer. Hook into our free WI-Fi, especially if you are one of those who can take your office with you anywhere. Feeling a little competitive? Golden Tee and shuffleboard are ready to test you. Kids will find much to love as well.

Try starting your visit at the newly constructed marina and make sure to stop by the No Worries Bar and Grill.  We were there in August, and I sampled the Huevos Rancheros for $5.99—yeah, five bucks for an authentic Mexican pirate breakfast! Not to mention the Bloody Marys—they were just as good (if not better) than the food, which is not really a fair statement since a Bloody Mary is a meal in glass, but you get the idea 

After your meal, browse around the shop where you will find some really great designs on all types of clothing from the No Worries line.  Shhhhh! Don’t tell, but rumor has it that nouveau pirate extraordinaire, Kenny Chesney has been seen Living Like a Pirate and hunting for treasure in his favorite No Worries hat.  And if it’s good enough for Kenny, it’s good enough for us!

There are plenty of hotels, and all-inclusives for you to chose from.  Some are even family friendly, if you chose to hunt for treasure with your pint-sized pirates! Follow the links below to see what suits your pleasure, then check out Cabo for yourself and send us the pictures of your hunt.  You never know, if we like ‘em, we might post ‘em and you might end up the winner of some of our exclusive pirate booty!

Happy Hunting!

Playa De Los Muertos

With a name like that, you know we had to check it out!  “The beach of the dead” was named for the pirate raids of the near by town way back when.  Don’t let the name scare you away.  This place is far from dead these days. It is located just south of old town and is popular with locals and tourists alike. 

We decided on a beachfront restaurant (of which there are many) called “La Palapa”,

LaPalapa Restaurant

and we loved this place.  For about $70 USD (incl. tax) the two of us enjoyed the most fabulous gourmet meal with incredible presentation as well as service.  We had everything from mussels to lobster ice cream—yes lobster ice cream! —And it was fantastic.  Did I mention that price included drinks as well?  While this was not a “cheap” Mexican meal, we felt it was more than a value especially when you throw in the outrageous sunset we were offered, courtesy of the universe! 

When you visit Puerto Vallarta on your next pirating trip, Playa De Los Muertos must be on list of places to see.  Check it out for yourselves and let us know what you think!
