While staying at the Sheraton on Canal St we came here for a nightcap one night after dinner and drinks out on the town. They were moderately busy, but the lady working the bar was great... friendly and helpful. They make a Hurricane (the cocktail) from fresh juices and it tasted really nice. They serve food here too, in case you want to stay in and dine here and what I saw looked good. Nice hotel bar experience was had! read more

We stayed at the hotel and, overall, had a decent experience. The lounge was enjoyable, and most aspects of our stay met our expectations. Unfortunately, our experience at the Pelican Bar was extremely disappointing. The drinks were too sweet could easily tone down the sugar to make some flavorful margaritas . While checking out, we decided to have a quick dessert before catching our cab. We ordered the Blackout Chocolate Cake from the manager, Miss Jenna expecting it to be a simple and quick order. After waiting more than 25 minutes, we still hadn't received our dessert. When we asked about it, the manager casually told us it would take even longer, with little concern for the delay. Considering we had only ordered a single slice of cake, something that is typically already prepared, the wait was unreasonable. I've had Uber Eats deliveries arrive faster than it took for the staff to serve a piece of cake. The poor service and lack of urgency , or a sincere apology , left us with a disappointing final impression of an otherwise decent hotel stay. read more

Great location! The cocktails were amazing!! The blackened shrimp tacos were stellar and so was the gumbo. I have this place 3/5 starts because the service was incredibly slow. It took a really long time to get food and even the attention of a waiter. Additionally, the crab cake was not great and I had to send the calamari back. The vibe is cool as it's in the lobby of the Sheraton New Orleans hotel. Great for people watching and being close to everything. read more

-15/10. My friends and I got to the bar at 7:30pm. Absolutely worst service I have ever gotten. Took 45 minutes for WATERS. You would think they walked to the lake purified it themselves and walked back with how long it took. I got my appetizers after I had already finished my main course at 8:45pm. Not a single apology or sense of empathy for how disrespectful the service was. Our server saw us 2times once for our order and the other for payment after she forgot what we ordered and asked us to reminder her. When I complained the manager Jenna came over and not a single apology. If I didn't complain I wouldn't have gotten my food covered. I am actually surprised this place has 3.5 stars bc if the service was anything like I got yesterday they would no longer be in business. Food was good though but I'd spend my money somewhere else for worse food and better service tbh. read more

Sunday -The best crab cake in New Orleans! Loaded with crab meat and great flavor. Side of pickled cabbage was good too. Tuesday- different crab cake served with regular. Still good but totally different crab cake. read more

Tried the flatbread as a mid day snack while in New Orleans. It was good, and the bar is located in a beautiful hotel lobby inside the Sheraton hotel. Service was quick and server was very helpful with her recommendations. read more

This bar is in the front lobby of the Sheraton and it gets a lot of foot traffic off Canal Street. The Bistro on the 2nd floor serves breakfast only now, so if hotel guests or others want to order food, they have to do it here. I was working and needed something quickly. I settled on their gumbo to go. It came in a small plastic container with crackers for $13. A bit pricey for the portion, but tasty. It had andouille sausage, chicken and crab. The bar itself is big and has ample seating all around, in addition to big screen tvs and nice artwork. Haven't tried the drinks yet but they always seem to have guests. Great location for it. read more

I walked by this place earlier in the day, it was very busy. Brightly colored décor, good energy when you walk in. Cheeseburger with fries Ordered medium rare, came medium. The fries were the highlight, they were dusted with something good. The food came out hot. Cobb salad Came with packaged dressing, common man, we are not at Habit Burgers. Our waiter was attentive but had no pulse, like he was sleepwalking. Does this guy work 3 jobs? I would give a 3.5 but I can't, does not deserve a 4. read more

Brian was Amazing server. The food was the best I had in the 3 days I spent in New Orleans. I did not know that the Sheraton bar had food. Every single food item was excellent. Especially the chicken and catfish bites. Brian was an Awesome server and kept our drinks filled. Highly recommended. read more

Didn't want to go out in town so decided to dine here. All the tables were a mess. Single server was trying to make things happen, but really couldn't keep up. She began clearing the table, walked away for awhile then came back to take our order without clearing it. I asked that she clean the table before ordering. Food and drinks took a long time. Gumbo was small but great. Shrimp and grits were so, so. Overpriced and underwhelming. read more

Fun experience. Gets crowded and food menu is limited. Good hotel bay. Staff is helpful. Only issue is that for happy hour, they have one specialty drink. I went in and ordered it and the bartender stated they were out. Shoudn't I be able to order another drink for happy hour if they run out? read more

Visited on 03/08/20 We had been walking all day and it was time for a quick stop, relaxation time so we got a spot on the sofa near the front area which allowed for people watching while we enjoyed a few drinks. Got a glass of Villa Pozzi moscato ($9) for myself, treated my friends to a Southern Pecan ($7.5), two Canebreaks ($7.5). We were able to chill out, sip our alcohol and late afternoon. read more

Hotel lobby bar. Worst Sazerac in New Orleans, unfortunately (mine had no sugar OR lemon). But it is cute and the ambience is nice. I don't imagine you would go unless you are staying in the Sheraton. read more

This bar is located at the Sheraton on Canal Street. It is situated smack dab in the middle of the lobby, with plenty of comfortable seating around the bar and plenty of tables. I've done Bourbon, Frenchmen and all that other jazz, but these days, I don't mind sitting at the hotel bar and enjoying cocktails with my friends. What started off as a plan on having a beer while we waited on our friends to head to Bourbon, ended up spending about 6 hours here. The bartenders were excellent and made us authentic New Orleans favorites like a Hurricane and Pimms Cup, not the sugary drinks you get on Bourbon. We also sampled some local beers as well. After ordering my first drink, the bartended placed a brown baggie with Zapps voodoo chips. It was a nice little snack while drinking beer. They have Tv's and will change it to whatever you want to watch if you ask. They also have two giant screens on both sides of the lobby. We ended up coming here before heading out all the other days we were in New Orleans. I would book at the hotel again specifically because of the cool bar. read more

While looking for a tourist attraction that peaked our interest, my friends & I sat down in the Sheraton hotel lobby for a drink. The very cute & modern menu included both food & beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I ordered a berry mojito ($13) & the Cajun wings ($13). My mojito was refreshing & tasty without being too weak or too strong. The wings were just the right amount of spice. Fried naked & tossed in a lovely Cajun sauce with ranch & blue cheese for dipping. I feel as though the wings were overpriced to not have come with a side but at the same time I'm not surprised with the bar being located inside the hotel. I would return for another drink or to try the cheesecake I have seen so many reviews about. read more

The Pelican Bar is located in the lobby of the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel. It takes up about 2/3 of the downstairs. I probably would not have patronized the bar but for the free drink coupons that the front desk offered me. So on one evening before dinner we met at the bar and had drinks and a slice of cheesecake. My Bloody Mary was good, they give you a bag of Zapps Voodoo Potato Chips with your drinks so you can drink more. The cheese cake was awesome. The bar itself is cavernous and the couple of servers walk a mile just to get to the tables from the actual bar. Without the coupons, however the drinks are pricy. read more

Wow $22 for a Tanqueray martini (before tip)? PLEASE! What if I'd have gotten a high end gin?! I'm used to chicago prices but come on, what a joke. Either the bartender is padding the bill or the hotel is out to lunch. Either way someone loses out on multiple drinks and/or a decent tip. Nice venue though. read more

Food was mediocre. Service was bad. The only person who looked like they actually wanted to be there was the bartender. Not coming back here again. read more

This lobby is fairly empty at this time of day, yet our waiter took his time getting to us and in taking our orders. Also, my aunt explained that red wine gives her a headache and conversed with him about what to get. What he suggested was a red wine! She didn't send it back although she normally would have. Also we had a request to add cherries into my neice's drink and that was forgotten (we did get it in the end tho!) If you come here do not order the nachoes. They have a horrible fake cheese sauce, fragile chips, and really nothing about it was good. However, DO get the dip duo! There was a bigger portion of hummus than it appeared at first and for someone who doesnt like pork rinds I did like those! I really think they should give us regular pita pieces though rather than fried. read more

I came to this place twice. First time they served my Po-Boy without the remoulade sauce. Dry as fuck. I asked the waitress who later confirmed that the restaurant ran out so my meal wasn't prepared with any. Why is it still on the menu??? Why didn't you tell me until after I asked why it was dry??? Why wasn't my bill compensated??? Came a second time and ordered nachos with a side of guac. It was served without the onions that it comes with and without the Guac. By the time I got it my nachos were cold. Fire the cook. They aren't doing their job. I'll never come back. read more

Went last night with a party of 6 (2 teens) to watch Orange Bowl while visiting New Orleans. Trying to find somewhat family friendly place with food and drink can be hard in New Orleans but this place fits the bill. Great - large space with huge TVs and friendly attentive wait staff. We arrived at 6:30 and left at 11:00 after game and never felt rushed or hurried. We ordered the 5 pound "Who-dat" hamburger for our table (came with fries and onion rings) and wow it was great!!!! Highly recommend this spot... read more

We visited this bar a few times while staying in New Orleans. It is a great place to grab a drink and watch a football game on their GIANT TV screen. The confetti cheesecake is great. We also enjoyed the praline Creme Brûlée and the New Orleans Bread Pudding was excellent. Suny is an amazing server! She is so much fun! read more

I stayed at the Sheraton for a week on business. My wife and I decided to come grab a bite to eat and drink at the Pelican Bar. We waited over 10 minutes before anybody greeted us despite having staff look directly at us including the manager. 10 minutes later the manager came over and said that he noticed us looking at him and if we need anything. I asked if a server is working this section and he replied yes, they will be with you shortly. The manager didn't offer to take or drink order or get us started with a menu. About 10 minutes later the manager told another server to come greet us. This server handed us soggy wrinkled paper menu and said he would be back. It took another 10 minutes for him to return. At this point, we had witnessed two other couples receive the exact same treatment and they walked out. Needless to say, my wife and I decided that we had lost our appetites and informed the server of the inexcusable misgreet and horrible customer service. We are not hard to please by any means but when being blatantly ignored, we find that extremely disrespectful. This was the only negative experience we have had during our visit to this great city. read more

I came down from my room to watch the game and grab something to eat. I have to say the Cobb salad that I ordered was absolutely delicious! So fresh and big! I will certainly eat here again and I would highly recommend this place if you want great food without going out. read more
