Located on Brunswick Street, Black Pearl has been stirring up Melbourne’s bar scene since August 2002, evolving from a family-run restaurant to an internationally acclaimed cocktail haven. Known for nurturing bar talent and pioneering inventive drinks like the famed Death Flip and Martini riffs, it blends craft excellence with a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere. The intimate ground-floor offers plush booths, warm lighting, and a rich spirits collection served by knowledgeable bartenders, while upstairs The Attic opens Friday–Saturday for reserved, elevated experiences. Regulars and newcomers mingle over house-made snacks like sausage rolls and an eclectic menu ranging from classic Daiquiris to creative frozen cocktails with locally sourced botanicals. Open Wed–Sun from 5 pm to 3 am (Attic from 6/7 pm late), it's legendary yet welcoming to all.
