The bar is located upstairs with the coldest brew, best crew and the best view. \"Southern Living Magazine\" designated The Pelican Pub as the best waterfront bar! Must try our famous Bushwhackers and other Pub specials. Come see us! ** \n\nDecent\nJul 2025 \u2022 solo\nIt\u2019s a local dive bar, at least tonight. Everyone is friendly. My drink is baseline. I don\u2019t think I would return but good for a simple drink.\n\n\nWritten July 6, 2025\nThis review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seemed like it was ice & milk with some hersey's chocolate squirted on top. Definitely not worth the cost.\n\nRead more\nWritten February 23, 2025\nThis review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Been here several times and have brought family visiting from out of town. Today my husband and I brought the dog to the beach and wanted a cool beverage before heading home.\n\nIt was then I realized as the owner came out \u2026. Absolutely no dogs on the premises. Not even on the outdoor deck.\n\nThe owner suggested going around to Islanders as they allow dogs. We passed on that and headed back to mobile for the river shack. Very accommodating on their deck.\n\nI do recommend pelican pub and will return. But Jackie will stay home.\n\nRead more\nWritten August 23, 2024\nThis review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But we stumbled across the Pelican on a Sat night. We had great service from 2 bartenders. We played darts, kareoked and had a blast. It may have the best view also!! So pretty! We stopped by a couple more nights thru the week to drink and play darts and definitely didn't get the friendly feeling we got from our Saturday night bartenders but still had a good time! We loved the bartender named Michelle! There is a restaurant called Dockside underneath on the main level. You can get a drink and take it down or bring your food up! Bingo on Mondays, dart completion Wed nights and Kareoke Sat nights!\n\nRead more\nWritten June 6, 2024\nThis review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Been here. Done that. Ya never know till you go. I have no review of the Pub upstairs. Order at the counter when you walk in, pay immediately whether it is good or bad, and they call your name. I consider it really Bush League to charge you more for using a credit card.

Sitting upstairs on the balcony, the panoramic view of the bay and the Dauphin Island Bridge creates an idyllic backdrop, with pelicans soaring nearby and a modern jukebox setting the tone alongside engaging locals. Every sip and bite captures the essence of island life-simple, authentic, and utterly satisfying-making it a true haven for anyone seeking great food, cold beers, and genuine hospitality.\n\nreview_stars 02/06/2025 - Ross K.\nThe bar offers a fantastic view and a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a cold beer. The staff and locals create a welcoming vibe, making it easy to strike up a conversation and feel right at home. I loved the delicious food, especially the burgers and shrimp tacos, and can't wait to return for another round.",

But we stumbled across the Pelican on a Sat night. We had great service from 2 bartenders. We played darts, kareoked and had a blast. It may have the best view also!! So pretty! We stopped by a couple more nights thru the week to drink and play darts and definitely didn't get the friendly feeling we got from our Saturday night bartenders but still had a good time! We loved the bartender named Michelle! There is a restaurant called Dockside underneath on the main level. You can get a drink and take it down or bring your food up!

We stopped by a couple more nights thru the week to drink and play darts and definitely didn't get the friendly feeling we got from our Saturday night bartenders but still had a good time!
