Pelicans bar and grill is an eatery and bar tucked away on a pier in the bay point area of Panama City beach Florida. My family and I was staying at Marriotts legend at bay point when we decided to explore the area. Hidden behind the hotel was a small little entrance to a pier on a bay which led to this establishment. We had already eaten dinner for the day so we decided to grab a margarita drink which was really tasty. The establishment. Itself is covered roof but you remain on the pier with beautiful views of the bay. On the backside is a small exit that brings you to a cool little hidden beach. We came back her on 4th of July night and watched the fireworks from the pier and had amazing views of all activity happening across PCB. Overall a really cool and unexpected find that had good drinks, solid pricing and fast service. read more

Absolutely great location. It's on a pier right over the water. Great bar, great bartenders and great drinks. Didn't try anything to eat but looked like decent casual food. read more

Love this bar and location. Perfect place to watch a sunset and great boardwalk experience. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a low key bar and a great view! read more

This place is great and some of the food is good. When it shows it is open it is not. Yelp shows it open now but it is not open and was not yesterday either. read more

Amazing location on the water. Excellent food. Great drinks. An excellent place to visit before going for a sunset sail with Paradise Adventures. read more

Called guest services and asked if we could place an order at 8:20 pm She said no you have to walk down there and was told they closed at 9 pm. Walked all the way down there and was told the kitchen closes at 8 but the restaurant closes at 9. That would have been nice to know before walking half a mile. read more

great location! The staff was not friendly or helpful. The waitress ignored a lot of people which is totally not necessary. The food & drinks were ok but probably won't return because the service was so poor. read more

There is no better beach bar in Panama City or Destin. Bad servers and management come and go, but this place has all the ingredients of an idyllic beach bar, which is why customers looking to get away keep going back! It is genuinely relaxing and laid back; a place you will return to on each visit to the area. Literally its own island (accessible by a boardwalk), the no-frills ambience, food and drinks are all on point. The surrounding Grand Lagoon and marsh area make for an exquisite setting - the perfect place to watch the sunset and enjoy a cocktail. You can visit by boat or golf cart in the Bay Point community. Great for kids, too, as they can spend hours looking for hermit crabs and shells in the bay. read more

Best spot for a drink in all of Panama City! You can't beat this view! Don't go there for the food, as it's not a true restaurant, but definitely go for a cocktail! read more

Walked 1 mile down a boardwalk to find out they don't have the beer [ Michelob ultra] that 2/3 of our party drinks . Slow service

We were playing golf at the Mariott's Bay Point Nicklaus course when we heard music coming from Lime's...We decided to stop in for a drink at sunset. Adam P. pretty much nailed the review I would have written. However, my review is for a May visit. They will be open til 8pm. til Labor Day, I believe. Also, there was an entertainer who was quite good. I think the entertainment changes nightly. The food was typical bar food. The prices weren't bad and you can't beat the view. The service was very good, also. It is a very long walk on a pier to arrive at this place. If you have a handicap person in your party, they will pick you up in a double seated golf cart. I know this because the party next to our table, had brought their elderly parents. I will definitely go back because I loved the music and the view. read more

Really had bad luck with this place. Brought the in-laws that were visiting and the menu was more of a lunch menu. They don't have coors lite, they don't have splendid, their drinks were very weak even when ordering a double. Overall come for a quick lunch, but not for anything nice and stick to beer! read more

If you are on this side of PCB, stop by Pelican's. The staff are pleasant and personable. They have jet ski and pontoon rentals close by and a private beach with paddle board rentals and cold beverages for resort guests only. Tips: The golf cart attendees will take you anywhere on the property you want to go. Breakfast buffet was well attended and offered great value for a family. read more

This was one of our favorite neighborhood spots last year. We are hoping the quality of the food improves over the next few weeks...new owners. We'll give them another chance soon. Please bring back those wonderful french fries! read more

Terrible. I had the wedge salad the first night there and the lettuce was white and disgusting. My son had a burger and he thought it was ok so we thought we would give them a second chance. The second night he said his burger tasted wrong. I had Mahi Mahi tacos and it was too fishy. The tortillas were even bad. read more

Great place for a cold drink and watching the sunset. You are outside, like a little island bar. Most evenings they have live music. Great atmosphere! ! And that's what your going for. Food is just kinda snack stuff. read more

Pelicans Bar - The sunset was perfect - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Simple but good food and drink, a place to get away from the 'rush' and "Breath" as the sun sets glistening on the water......

Stayed at the Wyndham Resort and was referred to try out this little shack down on the beach for a beer and snacks. After walking down there 3 days in a row, this place was NEVER open. Not sure if they just decide to close whenever, or if they just decided not to open this week. Either way, advertise it! Very disappointed. read more

Tried to enjoy sitting on the Bay for an early Mother's Day dinner. Sat for 45 minutes without anyone coming over. Walked up to a server 3 different times and was treated very rudely like we were bothering them. We finally left and went to get food somewhere else. It is less than a mile from our house and we will probably not be back. It's a shame. read more

After an unsuccessful fishing trip. Which happens often with me. This place is the best to dock the boat up, and get a drink and some food. A little pricey, but that's expected with the view and the ambiance read more

Cool location and nice scenery. Be aware it's a long walk out on pier. Employees were nice and were trying hard but def understaffed for the busy Easter weekend. It took 1.5 hours to get food and food was OK. read more

They need more people working. We had to wait a loooong time before they finally even acknowledged our existence. Also, if you are allergic or sensitive to cigarette smoke, be warned that people are apparently allowed to smoke there. The boiled shrimp was good, but couldn't really enjoy it due to the strong cigarette smoke. IMO the drinks aren't strong enough. read more

I visited this restaurant about 4yrs ago and had a great experience . The place just didn't have the same charm 2nd time around . The scenery is beautiful the food is so so. Nothing special on menu! read more

Atmosphere was very pleasant. A singer performed laid back tunes. Guacamole and grouper sandwiches tasted fresh. Server was friendly and welcome. Great view of the bay, too. I'd recommend to others looking for a peaceful, easy evening out. read more

The area that this restaurant was in was very cool, kind of a long bridge walk but it was nice to be right on the water. Our waitress was super nice and helpful but after an hour went by people we're getting really rowdy and about to fight. A LOT OF DRUNK PEOPLE. I don't think this is a family place or at least not a place for kids, the food wasn't good at all. They gave you really small serving sizes and it just wasn't worth the price! read more

On the water and great local menu. I had fish tacos. Friendly service even sitting at the bar. Nice crowd and realxing view of the bay.

Nice relaxing atmosphere on the water overlooking the bay.

Watching the sunset from pier was gorgeous, and the fish tacos were delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and ran our son's pacifier halfway down the pier to us after we left it on the table. When in Panama, we will be back! read more

Totally our kind of place! Great relaxed atmosphere, good food, cold beer, gorgeous view and great music!!! Highly recommend!! So glad it has reopened!!! read more

Yikes. My wife and I were in Cocoa to watch the rocket launch and we popped into Pelican's for dinner. The place was less than half full but it still took forever to get a waitress after we were seated. The drinks took forever to get to the table. The menu is incredibly limited and the portions are very small. I got a fish sandwich that was completely devoid of any flavor and over cooked. I was still hungry afterwards and was tempted to eat the lemons on my plate. On the bright side, the hostess was nice, and our waitress was polite. I want to say I would give this place another shot in the future, but it wasn't just "bad timing" that made our experience bad. It was "anytime" things, like the limited menu and the portion sizes. I think this would be a cool place to hang out in, at the bar, just for drinks. read more

Food really wasn't that great. Fine if you're a late check in and need a place to eat. Typical bar food in a very pretty location

Honestly, some of the worst food I've ever had. They served horribly burnt calamari, guacamole that was spoiled, and stale tortillas. So disappointing. read more

We're locals, but wanted to relax at a place right on the water & watch boat traffic. We feel like we discovered a secret paradise. The setting was terrific, the service was great, & the mahi mahi nachos were loaded & were the best! M&K read more

Would have liked to have gone to this restaurant but the man outside would not let us dock our boat. It was too rough to dock where he wanted us to so we left. Thanks a lot. read more
