Pelican Pub
18 2nd St N, St Petersburg, FL
Pelican Pub is a classic downtown St. Petersburg dive bar located directly adjacent to the entrance of the Jannus Live music venue. This local "hole in the wall" is known for its unpretentious atmosphere, late hours, and nightly entertainment.
Pelican Pub serves as a quintessential gritty hangout in the heart of the St. Petersburg historic district. Situated right at the gates of the iconic Jannus Live outdoor courtyard, the pub is a primary destination for concertgoers looking for a pre-show drink or a late-night cap. The interior offers a straightforward, no-frills environment that captures the spirit of a traditional Florida neighborhood bar.
The establishment features a variety of nightly activities, including karaoke on Mondays and live DJs from Thursday through the weekend. While it is primarily a beverage-focused spot, visitors can order from a dedicated food menu provided by Hoots on First. Its central location makes it easy to visit other nearby attractions such as the downtown pier or the many restaurants along Central Avenue.
