Staff were wonderful , the place is beautiful. Had 2 south side cocktails that went down a treat š
Thanks so much to the whole crew at Black Pearl. Had a couple of drinks Friday night and the staff were so accommodating, to the point we were even given several suggestions on where to go for dinner. Came back Saturday night to a full bar and enjoyed some amazing cocktails. Shout out to Will for looking after us Saturday, daiquiris were spot on ļæ½.
Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Melbourne.
Went there with my friend.
The cocktails are all good, the one with watermelon was my favourite. (I just forgot its name, but it should be a number in its nameš¤·āāļø)
The sausage roll taste marvelous and goes well with cocktails. The guacamole is also fantastic with a pinch of heat.
Cocktails and snacks are all good.
[Rated 4.5] Black Pearlās reputation proceeds it ā the best bar in Australasia last year and number 22 in the world, itās a bit crazy it has taken me this long to get there.Ā
I had literally the best Old Fashioned I have ever had in the downstairs bar, which even during the day has a dark and moody vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Iāll be back for sure to check out the upstairs bar (and have another Old Fashioned, of course).
The cocktails served upstairs at The Attic are to die for! The bar staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and regardless of whatās available on the menu, you can give them one ingredient and they create magic with it. The āThomson & Thomsonā gin base cocktail is without a doubt the best cocktail I have ever had.
What a wonderful find. Walk straight upstairs for table service but first, you must ring the doorbell to enter. Dim lighting to enhance the wooden surrounds, comfortable seating and knowledgeable bar staff make this a perfect stop for pre dinner drinks.
One of the best cocktail bars in Melbourne for sure. They have a signature cocktail list but will make pretty much anything you like. The Attic upstairs has such a cool atmosphere, it kind of feels like youāre in a hidden bar in New York City. Service is impeccable too. I highly recommend!
You know, sometimes you just meet a bar and everything clicks. This is how I feel about Black Pearl. It was here I met and fell madly in love with with Shiraz gin (and the cocktail jockey who served it to me). Pretty sure they thought I was gonna do a runner best they charged billed me right away for my glorious negroni. This place also featured on my recent espresso martini binge in Melbourne. 10 stars for the bar, 10 stars for the negroni, 9 out of 10 for the espresso martini because these legends have it on nitro tap.
I came to this bar because of the list of 'World's best 50 bars'. I ordered a special cocktail but it tasted too plain. The alcohol was too light and it tasted like plain juice.
A great spot for pre-drinks, drinks, catch ups or even taking that special someone on a date lol Cool little cosy bar with a funky upstairs bar that you don't even really know is there. Ā You need to ring a door bell to enter the upstairs bar and you can only be let in once someone opens the door. Ā Seats are quite limited downstairs as it is quite small but if you do manage to get a seat then high 5 to you because it is a nice place to just chill and relax.
Great little bar on busy Brunswick st, I had a group of friends so was able to book an area easily. The staff were super helpful and friendly, drinks great and atmosphere was cool and chill. The best place to spend a birthday with some friends.
Great cocktails. Great friendly service. An intimate little bar upstairs and private.
It's great that you need to ring the bell to gain access to avoid the place being too overcrowded.
Lovely range of cocktails and drinks and very educated staff to match.

Wow! What an amazing bar! It has such cool vibes with a nautical theme. The cocktails are perfection š
You can order something off the menu if you know what you like. Definitely can see why it was rated one of the best bars.
Fantastic cocktails! We sat upstairs and received incredible service from the team. I could suggest what sort of drink I wanted (fruity, sweet etc) and they would create cocktails for me that were excellent. The team take pride in what they create and it shows. Great way to try some new drinks - plus they even wrote down how to make them from home for me (without me asking!) Highly recommend.
Making it to the 50 BestBars in the world in 2017 - 2018, you know why when you visit this bar.
We chose to enjoy our evening in the Attic section, and the menu is quite different from the Black Pearl downstairs....nevertheless great!
What else would you need for a splendid evening other than a beautiful ambience, good vibes and excellent drinks ......And of course, each other for a company.
Nice and cosy bar upstairs. The atmosphere is nice and the lighting can be dim which makes it hard to see the menu. Drinks are fantastic.
Only downside is, it can get quite hot and opening the windows and having the aircon on didn't seem to do much.
Lowkey obsessed with this place. Has such a great vibe and the bartenders make the best cocktails with such passion. Also appreciate the general professionalism and kindness of all the staff.
Great bartender, recommended one of the best cocktails I've had so far and it's off menu. Lovely place and definitely would visit again.
Had brilliant service and even better cocktails. I had most of the gin cocktails and loved them. They were well worth the price and had good company.
Best old fashioned I've ever had. Served by Taka and Zach and their service was impeccable.
