The staff was extremely knowledgeable about which items were GF and how they were made. I went with the cheeseburger with a GF bun. The flatbread looks great but is cooked in the same oven. GF items marked on the menu. Great cider too!

The GF flatbread was amazing. I had the bacon brie and hazelnut flatbread (the crust is cauliflower based) and it was delicious. GF flatbread comes on a round plate. Our waiter was very nice and helpful and even went to ask questions in the kitchen to be sure I could eat it safely. There are not tons of options, as they are a brewery. But I was able to enjoy a dinner with my family

Not a lot of options for gf. Flat bread pizza has gf options. Beware of sauces made with beer. Staff is knowledgeable on what is in the food. Really wish they would do their calamari with rice flour.

Our waitress was wonderful, and seemed to understand when I mentioned being gluten intolerant.

I ordered the Brewpub cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap and a side salad with ranch, which was reported to be gluten free.

My sister ordered the same burger, but chose a gluten free bun and the berry vinaigrette for her salad.

My sister is perfectly fine, but I'm extremely sick. This was the only food I ate yesterday, so I know it happened here unfortunately. Definitely an eat at your own risk place, that didn't work out for me.

Waitress was knowledgeable enough but seemed annoyed to be answering questions. The flat bread is ok, but seems very expensive for what you get. Wish there were more GF options on the menu. Their gender neutral bathrooms are also very odd and uncomfortable for children and families, that’s the main reason we won’t be back.

They have gluten free buns and flatbread and the waiter was knowledgeable regarding what they had. However, their chicken is brined in beer, and their bbq sauce and aioli is made with beer. They have one cider available. Not good for celiac or high gluten sensitivity.

They no longer have a separate gluten free menu and wait staff was not knowledgeable. I asked to substitute a salad since their fries are beer battered and when I asked what dressings were gluten free she responded "ranch - it's pretty much gluten free" If you are wanting a simple gf meal I would not recommend the pelican pub

We eat here because of the location, but the curly hair on my salad plate this trip is a game changer 😬 Service is inconsistent & the meal prep as well. Very disappointed.

The menu has several clearly marked gluten free options including fish tacos, burgers, salads, and a flatbread. I had the sweet potato quinoa cake, which was both vegetarian and gf. The view of the beach is great! The fries and the veggie burger option are not gluten free.

I had a yummy cheeseburger on a soft bun, I even double checked to make sure the bun was GF and Soy free it tasted so good. I had yicama slaw instead of fries. A happy full belly with No sickness reported. Gluten and Soy Free!

A disappointing dinner. The gf bun crumbled apart and the burger itself was bland. On the gf menu blue cheese dressing was listed as an option, but then told it was not gf. Basically, if you want a condiment other than yellow mustard or ketchup you are out of luck. My server was fairly knowledgeable. I am not a seafood fan and the choices were limited. Probably will pass it by in the future. On the positive, I was happy to not be charged extra for my gf bun!

At first glance at the menu, there were very limited options because everything seemed to be cooked with beer in one way or another. On the menu there was a note about asking the server about gluten free and vegan options, so I did, and I was presented with a gluten free menu!Many of the options include just swapping out the beer for something else, like the clams being cooked in white wine rather than one of their beers. I got the steamer clams and a cheeseburger with a nice fluffy GF bun. I'm a celiac and had no problems other than a very full belly, but I'm still not sure I can call it 100% celiac friendly since it is a brewery after all. (Speaking of beer, they offer Omission Pale Ale, which I ended up skipping because their house-made root beer is some of the best I've ever had.)All in all, I would recommend.
