Decades ago, this seaside tavern was a popular gathering place for soldiers, merchant sailors, and even pirates — although those who spoke TOO freely about their extralegal exploits would often face a grueling detention in the nearby village lock-up.
Decades ago, this seaside tavern was a popular gathering place for soldiers, merchant sailors, and even pirates — although those who spoke TOO freely about their extralegal exploits would often face a grueling detention in the nearby village lock-up.
Now, 22 years later, the tavern has been renovated with breezy outdoor seating for its patrons, a stew stove to prepare hot meals, and high-quality pewter, brass, and ceramic tableware. On a good day, the tavern-keeper leaves with a full coin purse when it comes time to lock up!
Meanwhile, the imperial soldiers have converted that meager jail cell into a customs impound for all the valuable contraband they’ve seized from local smugglers: molasses, tea leaves, and even gold bullion. Trade goods as fine as these are of course a tempting target for any number of scoundrels and sea raiders…
But later tonight, Captain Will and his young protégé Middy Mae also have their sights on another prize: a map to the fabled pirate refuge, Barracuda Bay.
In the meantime, they're counting on the tavern keeper to keep the imperial officer distracted with food, drink, and gossip… and hoping that pesky seagull's squawking won’t draw the attention of the soldiers keeping watch from the rooftop!
While law-abiding sailors are welcome to moor their boats at the dock out front, Will's learned not to take his chances around these snooping soldiers. His trusty catboat is waiting for his return along a nearby coast if he needs to make a quick getaway!

LEGO 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up/Soldiers' Tavern Remake (2023)
A redesign of the classic LEGO Pirates set 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up/Soldiers' Tavern in the style of modern sets like 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay and 10320 Eldorado Fortress. I sought to keep this model close to the original set’s color scheme and "footprint", while adding more textural detail, play features, furnishings, and accessories. This model won third place in the main category of the Eurobricks "Return of the Classic Pirates" contest!
