The Pelican House set to open in late April

You might find yourself sipping a rare ale or fine bourbon in a brand new bar off Corporate Boulevard this time next month. The Pelican House, a bar/restaurant specializing in high-end beers, whiskeys and bar food, is set to open in late April, co-owner and operating partner Garrett Morgan says.

The Pelican House will feature more than 130 taps at its main bar, plus an additional bar with another selection of taps. The new bar/restaurant will also feature a large bottled beer, whiskey, scotch and bourbon menu. Morgan says an outdoor patio and possible live entertainment are also in the works.

While the bar will have an impressive selection of beers and spirits, they’ve also brought in Chef Noah Lessard to do some fun dishes. “We’re going to offer Louisiana fare and twists on certain bar items,” Morgan says. “We’re going to find a nice medium with weekly rotating specials. We want to incorporate some fun, fresh ingredients.”
