Fantastic bar with a great selection of drinks and excellent for those of us who love our American whiskey. Great vibe and staff are friendly and terrific at their job. Very cool spot . We didn't eat so I can't judge the food but if it's up to the standard of each else then I'm sure it will be excellent

From the moment we walked in, the staff gave us a warm welcome. The atmosphere and decor are a big part of the experience. The space is stylish with rich textures, warm lighting and cozy corners that make you want to settle in. The Pucker Up mocktail I had was absolutely delicious, wonderfully refreshing and full of vibrant flavours. The Heaps Normal non-alcoholic beer was also excellent and full of taste, clearly crafted with care and attention. The bartenders put real creativity and passion into every drink, and the service was very friendly and attentive, making the experience feel personal and genuine. I highly recommend Black Pearl for great drinks, a wonderful atmosphere and outstanding hospitality.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We went to Black Pearl Bar for my partner’s birthday and wow, it was absolutely top notch in every aspect! From the amazing vibe and atmosphere to the outstanding service and the huge variety of drinks and cocktails, everything was perfect. All the staff were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great people. We went as a big group and had such a fun night together! This place has officially become our go-to bar from now on, 10/10, no words can describe how good it is. Highly recommended! 🍸✨

Went there for a couple of drinks with some friends, and absolutely floored by the atmosphere and overall vibe of the place. It's like entering a safe haven full of quiet laidback tunes, complex and delicious drinks and amazing service from the staff who made sure we were properly looked after and hydrated. Would for sure come back again, definitely check out the Irish coffee if you get the chance to!

A nice hidden, ‘above-the-noise’ kind of cocktail bar. From the alleyway entrance, to the entrance way and stairs, to being greeted by our friendly server. We only stopped in for 1 drink each due to the hour of our arrival, but for our first time visit we both thought it was quite a nice place. The exposed wooden beams and general atmosphere and fit-out of the bar was quite subdued but comfortable. Brighter than most cocktail bars this size or style. The menu was interesting, a few stood out, but again due to time we just picked 2 that we thought would be different to what we had been having at other most recent bars. The drinks were tasty, well presented and balanced. Did they blow us away? I would say no, but the quality definitely suggested that had we stayed and tried a few other drinks on the menu we may have had a better idea of what the mixologists were capable of. This is somewhere we will have to re-visit and update this review. But for our brief visit and quick drinks it was still a pleasant experience and would still say it is worth visiting to see for yourself if you are in the area (they take walk-ins).
