We had a great British pub lunch at the Pelican Inn - sat in the beer garden drinking out of pint jugs and soaking in the sunshine. Traditional Bristish pub food on offer, an small authentic front bar and a Bristish looking beer garden. Put some nice tables and Chairs in the beer garden and that would make it the... More

My wife & I stayed here for two nights in early December 2012. I picked this place because of its proximity to Muir Beach & Woods, and also for its promise of bit of rural England. The Inn lived up to its convenient location and its genteel British ambiance. We enjoyed all aspects of the Pelican...the cozy room, the quiet... More

We celebrated the new year with a two night stay at the Pelican Inn in Muir Beach. We live about an hour away, but at this unique inn you feel like you're in the English countryside. We arrived after a hike on New Year's Day. The pub was absolutely packed...to the point you couldn't even walk through it. Not to... More

We visited the Pelican Inn for the first time while canvassing potential venues for our 50 person wedding. We were looking for something different and intimate, rustic yet elegant. If you love antiques and dark woods and the feel of an old English Inn, you'll love it here. We ended up renting out the entire place for our wedding, along... More

Walked Muir Woods, and then rendezvoused here for beers and lunch. It was a glorious San Fran day, so lots of people afoot. We chose to sit out on the grass in the sun, and noshed on the BEST fish n chips ( fish really) I have had in a long time. Delist. This is a quaint English style hotel... More

I spent months planning our first trip to Northern California. I read lots of reviews from Trip Advisor and other sites. We were meeting friends in Napa at the end of the week but the first part of the trip was driving Hwy 1 from San Francisco up to Sea Ranch. Pelican Inn was our first stop. Although my initial...

The Pelican Inn is very charming and in a gorgeous location right near Muir Beach. Rooms are tiny but make you feel like you are staying in a true English pub. We loved the restaurant downstairs as well. People love to come here and sit out on the lawn on nice days. I would definitely recommend staying here but pay... More

Sunday at Pelican Inn is unbeatable. No better location for a seaside rendezvous. (cue Queen) Too many roast beasts to name. Atmosphere cannot be topped. Service cannot be better. Sorry it took so long to do a review. Doesn't look like it was missed!

We stayed at the Pelican Inn while hiking and it was a nice retreat after a long day in the sun! We had a nice cold drink on the lawn in the shade when we arrived. The Inn and our room were both nicely decorated in a unique, old English style. The room was a bit small for 3 people... More
