Dive bar, fried food, dark inside. But we had a good time watching football Sunday here. Road the motorcycle all morning on South Padre and wanted to sTop for lunch. The food was pretty stereotypical fried bar food. Very nice bartender and guests. Good for a late night hangout or to shoot some pool, watch a game.
Review Source:After having first been at Farah's, I wasn't sure what to expect from the "Pelicant." What greeted me was a hoppin crowd, loads of hotties and a Texas country band. In a word: partttttayyyyyyyy.
The place was crazy crowded but those bartenders were moving around at light speed. We ordered shots and drinks and made friends and stayed until they absolutely kicked us out. It's like this place posted up in the 80s and never left... and we loved it.
Pretty decent place to hang out with a cool group of people or to just meet some locals. They have pool, darts, shuffleboard, and a stage where live music or karaoke takes over the nights. There's also a patio which is actually the smoking area so I never get to enjoy my drinks with fresh air.
There are some older folks that like to get their shimmy on despite the fact they left their dentures at home. Nevertheless, they are cool folks with awesome stories and some money to buy you drinks with.
I just don't like the smoke that surround the entrance and the inside can be dark.
This bar was tolerable, and shuffle board was pretty much the only reason to go. Other than watching people make fools of themselves with karaoke. There are a lot of military looking guys around, so yeah, it has a weird crowd all in all. Not a very good selection of beer, but the bartenders were nice, and actually knew me by name after my first visit, which was nice I suppose. If you really can't go to the Executive Surf Club in CC, go here. The other bars are just plain awful.
Review Source:As Doug points out, this seems like it would be a very typical Southern bar. However, I had a more than a typical night because this bar has Table Shuffleboard! What an awesome bar game!
Naturally, I was nearly undefeated the entire night. My drunk athleticism is something to be seen, as we know.
Cheap and the bartender was friendly to the Yankee and his two military meat-head friends.
The Dirty Bird. The Smelly Pelly. This trademark North Padre Island establishment may go by many appellations, but none of them are laudatory - and rightfully so.
The Pelican Lounge is a typical, two-dimensional bar in South Texas. Both dimensions involve its patronage, characterized first by self-adulating, horny student military aviators (and, of course, their equally overconfident instructors), as well as folks creeping along the edge of retirement. Friday and Saturday nights are loud and raucous, especially past midnight. Weekday nights are more tame and better for talking or - the Pelican's claim to fame - a shuffleboard match on one of its two tables.
Bottom line: don't expect anything novel in the way of alcohol; if you are female looking to get laid, go here; if you are old and want to live vicariously through young men chasing tail, this is your place.
