The vibe The seaside boardwalk at Stanley usually gets busy on weekends, with city folks looking for a bit of fresh air and tour groups checking out one of the most popular sites on the Southside. Opened this year, the British-styled pub Pickled Pelican makes a perfect spot for people watching – not to mention a tipple or two.
The drink Make that the drinks. Beside the various imported ales sold by the bottle (including Old Speckled Hen and Ruddles County, $70 each), they also serve a large selection of Scotch whiskies, including Macallan, Bowmore, and Auchentoshan single malts (prices range from $80 to $125).
The entertainment There’s a pool table on the second floor, as well as a few screens to catch the footie action. However the majority of patrons go for the outdoor seating, where you can watch the world go by, drink in hand.
The regular Expect over-the-hill frat boys, as well as a few serial first-daters. Mix in a family or two and you get an idea of the clientele.
