Pelican Pete's Tiki Bar & Grill - Lake Lanier

The food and drink were delicious, but the price was high and the amount was small. In addition, there was no air conditioner. It is hot inside. The server was very friendly. However, she kept asking that what I needed. I already told her I was very full. Maybe she forgot or got more tips for selling foods deliberately. Her name was Ariel. But her serve was great.

If you’re looking for a true Lake Lanier experience, Pelican Pete’s Bar & Grill is one of those places that perfectly captures the laid-back lake lifestyle. Located at Port Royale Marina, it’s actually Lake Lanier’s only floating tiki bar and restaurant, which immediately gives it a fun, vacation-style vibe the moment you arrive. 📸 You’re paying for the location and experience, so prices run a little higher than a typical bar & grill. Pelican Pete’s isn’t just about the food — it’s about the experience. If you want cold drinks, lake views, live music, and a fun social vibe, it’s one of the best casual hangouts on Lake Lanier.

We arrived by boat, parking was easy. Hostess was adorable. Sabrina was our server and was excellent. Our four top was right along the water so it was fun people and boat watching. We ordered drinks and the calamari app. Delicious. I had the bowl with salmon. Lots of food! Bathroom was very clean. This is a dog friendly spot.

We went here today for the first time and while there was a bit of a wait in the kitchen but we had the nicest server and the food was worth waiting for. While we waited and ate there was a really cool and nice guy hosting free Trivia. We had a lot of fun. We had the fish and chips and they also had malt vinegar upon our request. They also had lots of nice non alcoholic beverage options, which we really appreciated. I can't wait for us to come back in the future on a trivia night. It was a blast. Would be cool to check out the live music here sometime also. This place is a hidden gem.

The tavern food was good enough. The service could be better, but he was friendly and serving multiple tables. The view to the lake is a given.
