Old Avery

The Old Avery was a tavern located in Nassau during the Golden Age of Piracy. It was commonly frequented by many infamous pirates, including Benjamin Hornigold, Edward Thatch, Mary Read, and Edward Kenway, among others. The group met here after Kenway began his career in piracy in 1715, and later when the city was in dire need of medicines in 1718.

The most popular drinking establishment in Nassau, the tavern was a favorite spot to recruit crew members, play games such as fanarona and checkers, and often learn the locations of nearby naval fleets or cadavers.

Before becoming Edward Kenway's quartermaster, Anne Bonny worked as a barmaid at the tavern. It was here that she was eventually recruited into piracy by Rackham and Read, under the guise of James Kidd.
