This one is kind of hard to rate. Iconic views from the patio, you could sit there for hours enjoy the sun, ocean, sunset. Very calming and just beautiful. The inside is not that charming. Main room was somewhat empty, but we had to stand at the bar because wedding reception was about to be held there. We were offered a table by the restroom and that part of the establishment seemed soulless. However we were moved into a large side room which wasn't too atmospheric either. Ambiance is 5 for the patio and 2/3 for the inside. They had 16 beers on tap, mostly focused on the hoppy stuff. Quality was good at best, mostly OKish. Food was not that good. I'm glad we've visited, not sure I'd come back except for the views.

Very scenic place on the beach near a large rocky islet and very large dunes. Outdoor patio is super scenic. I’d call to reserve in advance though, as this place was a 45-minute wait for a table when I was in. And for some reason, they bumped me off their list at the last minute, so it became 55-minute wait. Beer was mostly average. They do a set flight, luckily I hadn’t tried anything before from these guys. Nothing super standout.

Just an idyllic location, right on the beach with beautiful views from pretty much anywhere in the large space...look up pictures, it's even better in person. The beer is solid, all well done and inoffensive, but nothing so amazing you must come back for it. The styles are all across the board for clean beers though, so you can find something for everyone. The food was pretty spectacular too, seafood and upscale pub grub. A little pricey, but I'm sure everything in the tourist town is. An awesome stop.

As others have said, this is going to be hands down the most beautiful brewpub view you'll ever have. Just a stunning view of a beautiful stretch of Pacific coast along with a volcanic plug (google it, it's awesome) jutting out of the water just off the beach you are directly on. I was there during the end of the reach the beach bike race. Bit of a zoo but service was prompt and very good. The beer itself is just decent. You go here for the beautiful views - the beer is acceptable but not worth going out of your way for (the views on the other hand ...)

A must for an Oregon Coast visit. Not your typical Oregon beachside restaurant. Wonderful spectrum of house brewed beers, and their food is equally on par to compliment.

I’ll reaffirm that Pelican’s located in a perfect spot along a beautiful stretch of the Oregon coast. The sunset views from the front of the brewpub are legitimately stunning. The location alone makes Pelican a worthy stop. Beer-wise, Pelican offers a marginally above average experience. The dozen or so taps offered mostly widely-distributed, easy-to-find beer. Tickers shouldn’t expect to find a wealth of new beers. The Belgian pale was the standout of a ho-hum bunch. I’m not really sure where Pelican really excels as a brewery, as they seem to competently brew a very wide range of styles, which isn’t a bad thing by any means. Food’s relatively cheap and served in large portions. Overall, this is a pretty solid spot that I’d recommend to anyone considering a visit to the coast, not least because of the views. Worth a detour.

So I wish I could give Ambiance a 10, this is the coolest brewpub location I have been to. Really happy we drove the extra bit for tillamook to see this.

The location of this brewpub is probably the best I’ve ever seen. The staff was super friendly and gave us a table by the windows to the sea, outstanding view. The food was OK but kind of pricy and the beers are overallt OK as well.
