“I hadn't been back to the Pelican in over a decade before popping in this Christmas Day. It's a rough day for my family and we couldn't have asked for a kinder, sweeter, or friendlier group of locals. The Pelican family went out if it's way to make us feel loved and welcome, to the point of tears. It's a memory that will stay in my mind as among the truest examples of the Christmas spirit I have ever experienced. Thank you 💚“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hosted our wedding after-party at the Silver Dollar Rooftop in mid October and it was absolutely perfect! Mitchell, the manager, was incredibly easy to coordinate with—he checked in on our drink preferences the week of and even offered to help coordinate food. We ended up bringing in our own food, and the Silver Dollar team worked seamlessly with the pizza place to make sure everything was set up and ready before our guests arrived.

We had the entire rooftop deck to ourselves, which was amazing and provided tons of space for our ~100 guests after the wedding. Downstairs was still lively with karaoke, but they went above and beyond by letting the bridal party jump the karaoke line, which made the night feel extra special.

The service was fantastic, the vibes were spot-on, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They truly made it as personal and stress-free as possible. We really appreciated how easy they made everything from start to finish.

This is already one of our favorite bars in Carolina Beach—you truly can’t beat the karaoke vibes—and we would recommend the Silver Dollar Rooftop 100 times over. Thank you for helping make our wedding night unforgettable!“
