Just Off the Ship at Port Canaveral?

Gothic cocktail lounge interior at Preacher Bar, Cape Canaveral

Port Canaveral is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, and if you’re reading this, you’re probably standing on solid ground with a few hours to spare. Whether you’re waiting to board, just got back from the islands, or you’re staying in Cape Canaveral the night before your cruise — you’re only about five minutes from one of the most unique bars on the Space Coast.

A Quick Hop From the Cruise Terminals

Preacher Bar sits at 8699 Astronaut Blvd in Cape Canaveral, roughly a five-minute drive from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals. That’s close enough for a quick drink or a bite before sailaway, and far enough to feel like you actually found a local spot — because you did.

Why Cruise Guests Love Preacher Bar

  • Craft cocktails, made by hand — not the watered-down drinks you get on board
  • Local and craft beers on tap, plus daily drink and food specials
  • Real food, fast: Scotch eggs, nachos, wings, burgers and more — grab a quick bite or settle in for a meal
  • A gothic, one-of-a-kind atmosphere you won’t find on any ship — casual, family-friendly, and upscale all at once
