Went there Halloween weekend, decent priced drinks but the vibe was off. Everyone was in a corner being shy and no one wanted to dance. A very over hyped place, the DJ played mostly songs to vibe to- not to dance to.(MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE VIBE OF PLACES BEFORE PAYING A $15-18 PARKING FEE ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜’)

Had a fabulous time. They have vegan events often, and I got this nifty T-SHIRT. Also, puppies and kittens to rescue today. This is the best bar ever.

The best, next time Im in town I will be here. The bartenders are very personable and were willing to make each each encounter friendly. I delt with 3 bartenders tonight, happy prinde, and they were bomb as hell. The people were cool too, I made a quick friend with a dude named ryan. 10/10 will be back

Pearl is my favorite place to go, the best bartenders, affordable drinks and they offer crab and crawfish sometimes! They also have art fairs every Sunday and I loved Magic Dyke night!

One of my favorite bars, even if I dont fit in. Everyone is super friendly. Great place to sit back and relax, dance. Often great music and cool DJs on the weekends. Feels more relaxed than other bars with there being a low population of straight dudes. From my perspective, drinks were good, but I only ever order Jack & Coke. Im always surprised by how little I spend on drinks here.My one issue is that I was confused about the bathrooms my first time around and didnt realize there was a second one off to the right until I saw someone walk in. Maybe better signage? Maybe Im blind? I dunno. Also, I had *no* idea there was an outdoor patio area until my... fourth visit?After reading some of these reviews I now want to go to Mutts and Mimosas. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Thee lesbian bar in Houston. Jam packed dance floor on weekends. Huge patio is a great contrast to allow you space to converse, cool off, and chill. Check out their social media (FB) to discover special events like steak night, movie night, drag king shows. Good service. All styles of women and its ok if you want to bring a lezbro.

Pearl is the perfect place to go to if your looking for a great time and trying to have fun. Whether its a date or just going with friends. As a fellow gay, I love it here! I even love the games they have there, from mini basketball to a life size pool table in ground. I am a tomboy and love it!

Had a few White Claws, and tab was cheaper than expected.Being new to Houston and going to what seems to be the only/best Lesbian bar in town - it exceeded my expectations. The vibe is cozy and fun, music is good, and the place seems clean. Staff is also friendly. So yeah, id definitely go again.

Love. This. Bar. The bar tenders are very fast even when wall to wall people. I closed my tab once but left my card and I went a week later and they still had it and were not annoyed that I left it. They are very welcoming and care about you. Awareness to the guys, I havent been there when I didnt have a girl using the urinal next to me. Entertaining to watch, but not for the pee shy

Great Place to hang out. Sundays are Muts & Mimosas (yes, this bar is pet friendly, inside and out), Tuesdays are steak night with fabulous steaks (steaks come with a giant baked potato and salad), Wednesdays are drag kings shows, Fridays & Saturdays are party days! This place is great for everyone, whether you wants to chill and hang out, or dance and party ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿท๐Ÿน๐Ÿธ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿป

They have themed nights along with games and on sundays you can adopt a kitten or puppy! How awesome is that?? You can actually talk to people in the bar without it being too loud and the bouncer is the coolest. Highly recommend people to come here

Review โ„–36

Drinks $3 more outside bar than inside bar for same exact drink. Coworkers (inside bartenders) acknowledge that thats an issue they have with the outside bartender that is not resolved. Past two random nights, ALL tables and chairs inside and outside are reserved... Yet rarely get sat. Not worth the $10 cover and $10 parking to park IN THEIR OWN LOT.

I came here on a Wednesday to see the Houston Drag Kings and had an absolute blast! The show was comical and fun. The bar itself is very nice with an outdoor patio area. Definitely will be coming back!

Its literally the only bar I know of that is catered to the L in LGBTQ. What I love about this place is that it is a Lesbian bar BUT they welcome everyone. I see all walks of life come through those doors. They also have a nice big patio. Good, chill spot, music varies but usually they are on point.

Review โ„–49

Itโ€™s a typical lesbian bar thatโ€™s overcrowded, loud, and serves subpar drinks. I went on a Saturday (party night), but Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™ll go again. The drinks were priced cheaply, but the quality left much to be desired. I suggest ordering bottled drinks only. The bartender was a bit weird and condescending, asking questions like โ€œare you enjoying your night,โ€ after waiting 15+ minutes to be tended to. The best experience was hanging outside in the rain and getting fresh air.

Review โ„–52

People call it a dive bar, but Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™d call Pearl one. There have been some major upgrades and additions to decor and entertainment lately which give a more modern and casual feel to the atmosphere. The outdoor patio has lots of games, another bar area, giant billiards section, and TV screens. Smokers have a pleasant space to enjoy themselves rather than being outsiders to the fun!

Good music....thatโ€™s about it. Almost $18 for a vodka Red Bull, or should I say just Red Bull and โ€œMalibuโ€ sprite. Literally just drinking juice. And then have the audacity to charge $10 to get in...for what?!?! To pay for weak drinks?? No thanks...Iโ€™ll pass next time!

Love that this place has convenient across the street parking....a stones throw from a yummy food truck or ramen and another cool bar if you need a quick change of scenery. Dance floor is hit or miss since their music selection....always seem to be the only one dancing but their outside area is amazing!! There is giant connect four....basketball arcade style....great seating....and soccer pool!! That is where this place shines.

Pearl got it wrong when they hired Omar at the entrance, ignorant and incompetent isnt half of it. Learn who your regulars are before you try to hassle people. Not another dime from me and mine. The bartenders are still great but he was a TERRIBLE choice. I expected better from yall, save your money ladies.

I normally love this place but last night was super annoying.There was a guy selling hookah stuff. I asked him if I could buy some, he said when he got to my table. When he got to our table, he ignored my request to buy shisha and went to speak to the only guy at our table.This would be bad enough elsewhere, but I really didnt expect it here. I complained to a bar tender inside, and she didnt seem at all interested. The bar tender outside was at least concerned when I spoke to her.

Review โ„–81

Service was friendly and very attentive the skill and training of the bartenders was below average for downtown. If the restaurant and bar want to increase beyond the captive hotel audience they will need to increase the level of skill and care in the drinks. Not pouring a full shot and a half and making 1 drink at a time with 12 people waiting is kindergarten. We had appetizers, oysters and halibut both fresh and flavorful but the weak drinks and the second attempt which was a small glass of wine poured into a small wine glass pissed me off to the point we left before ordering the entree....wont return.

Review โ„–83

Worst bar experience ever. The bar was very full, and the bartender walked past me several times. When he did take my drink order he was very snappy. I prefer to tip with cash over card So, once I receive my drinks for my friends and I and being the bar was so full. I walked away to give them their drinks. Before I could get back to the bar to give my tip, the bartender yelled out, โ€œthis is why we donโ€™t service yโ€™all โ€œ. I am of AA descent and I was offended. I found that very disrespectful and unprofessional. His coworker (lady with dreadlocks ) also joined in when I said something back. I will not be returning to this establishment.

If your looking for a chill place thats really rainbow friendly this is it. But Id advise you to go to the back cause they have a large patio thats bigger than the front. Plenty of chairs and tables, a few games and a bar there as well. Also smoking friendly . Music varies, usually not my style, but theres a juke box where you can pick songs on the patio.
