Jacob was kind and understanding and heavy-handed when it came to the pour. I highly recommend coming on Tuesday when Jacob is here. Great guy. Great Bar. The true St Pete Dive Bar. I will always come here.

They made me and my friends feel so safe and welcome. The drinks are awesome and the music is a whole vibe! Security is awesome and do a really good job, we had a creep following us in and they handled the situation really well and without causing any unnecessary drama!

Bouncer denied me entry with a temporary drivers license (waiting for a new one to be mailed because of real ID). He called his manager over to approve my global entry card. Manager was extremely rude and told me to get approval from SPPD located on the corner. The officer advised that I should just go to a different bar because they were not authorized to “approve” my global entry card (I got the vibe this wasn’t the first time this happened). I went back to the manger of Pelican Pub to let him know that he advised me incorrectly … then he immediately called over an officer (that was walking by) to ARREST ME FOR TRESPASSING. I was still standing on the public sidewalk, so no trespassing was happening, but the manger was extremely disrespectful. I’m assuming he didn’t think that I would have talked to SPPD (like he told me to) to approve my global entry card (that requires a three month waiting period, an interview, and a passport) and then be confronted by a grown woman, so he wanted to be a tough guy. It was giving … misogynistic and egotistical by a 5’4” man, so overall gross and wouldn’t recommend.

Danni is the greatest thing since sliced bread! She makes extra effort with all her customers to make them feel at home and welcome! The service is the greatest, and always consistent. Best place downtown.

After a show at Jannus live , I found “the pelican pub” . It was busy so I expected a wait for drinks . The bartender Dani was on top of it . I got my drinks fast . I was impressed. I’m in the service industry so I notice. She had a great mix of regulars and walk ups . A keeper bartender. I can’t wait to come back to St Pete !!

Recently I returned to Pelly . It always gets better . The vibe is tilted towards EVERYONE. The energy and vibration is pretty amazing. Danielle just kills .. Danielle just kills .. did I say it enough

Fun night of I'm karaoke!!! And on a Monday?!! Awesome!!!
Great place except the bouncer doorman groped my 21 yr old cousin last night. I won’t be back until he’s fired.

Servers seem to favor the regulars when it comes to service. It was an ok place to visit. Been there only one time so I will check in next time I go.

I find it very interesting that there is a review from 1 week ago with another patron having had the exact same issue I did!
Please fire the young black guy that was working the door on Saturday night, 8/10 (we were there at about 9ish). He mumbled something at me and when I didn't understand him he accused me of being drunk and prohibited me from entering. He was super hostile. I suspect he's either racist or really hates women. He clearly enjoys starting confrontations which is a really dangerous personality trait in a nightclub bouncer. Seriously, please figure out who this was and fire him. The man I had a problem with was the same as the one in the photo posted by “Ashton Wilkins.”
It was reassuring to see that someone else had the same issue on the same night!
The bartender was amazing!
