Pelican Isle, 16400 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA
(562) 592-3221

Pelican Isle is the sailor's favorite, a boat stop with good beers, cocktails, great food and warm Cheers. Yes, everybody knows your name when you quickly become a regular at this restaurant at Peter's Landing in Huntington Harbour, the manmade islands of Huntington Beach.

From a hot, tasty Reuben Sandwich served with just the right amount of sauerkraut, slightly sweet coleslaw, and the Kosher dill pickle, to a Cobb Salad with large portions of avocado and hard boiled egg, the menu items are the staple of this restaurant that feeds the hungry crowds passing by on Coast Highway, or stopping and mooring the yachts at Peter's Landing in the guest slips for a brief, fulfilling breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Weekends and some evenings bring entertainment from local favorites, and there's usually a karaoke session with TICE or one of the other karaoke specialists that knows how to keep the crummy singers in check.

The restaurant provides specials, hamburgers and comfort meals, but also is considered a popular bar for people just wanting to sit and relax with friends over a cocktail or beer. What's so special about Pelican Isle? The views!

Overlooking rows of boats moored in the harbor, the restaurant with indoor seating and outdoor patio dining sits right on the harbor channel. It's Southern California living and dining at its best. Many tourists drop by and relax, just soaking up the rays during a sunny day.

Go say hi, and become one of the friends of this Cheers-style bar and restaurant. You'll find out that Southern California is a friendly place, and there are some restaurants where it doesn't take long for everybody to know your name.
