The plan is to be open by Labor Day, and all employees have said they plan to stay onboard. “That’s been the biggest challenge - making sure it’s true to the theme.” “We’ve worked very hard to make it look old, even though it’s a brand-new building,” Rob Wecker said, emphasizing that the décor will make patrons feel as if they’re sitting below the deck of a ship, hanging out with pirates, rather than sitting in a restaurant in the middle of a strip mall. The biggest challenge, however, to being in a newer, modern facility has been making the place look, well, not new and modern. This includes a redesign of the kitchen to make it more functional for Mutiny’s entirely from-scratch menu, and the installation of a bar for serving an extensive range of craft beer, craft cocktails and, of course, 120 different types of rum. The partners are currently in the process of renovating the space to suit their needs. “We’ll miss Point Pleasant and we’ll miss this building - it’s been our home for six years - but there are a lot of upsides as well,” said Marziole. Their current location sits tucked back in the Point Pleasant community far off the main roads in Glen Burnie, and although the 100-year-old building has an antiquated charm to it, some of its amenities are outdated and space for parking is limited. “It’s 5 miles away, so the idea is we’ll still be accessible to the people who already love us, and we’ll make some newer friends over there as well,” Hynson said. The move from Glen Burnie, where Mutiny has operated since 2011, promises immense benefits that will allow the five partners in the business - brothers Rob and Steve Wecker, along with Nate Hynson, Lee Marziole and Tom Balsamo - to serve their regulars better and bring in some new customers to boot. And even if adventuring on the seven seas isn’t a practical option for most Pasadenians, they can still drink like a pirate while staying close to home.Īnd maybe even closer to home than they might think, now that Mutiny Pirate Bar & Island Grille is coming to Magothy Beach Plaza and taking over the space previously occupied by The BBQ Joint. They sail, they hunt for treasure and - most importantly - they like rum.
