Pearl Lounge

I wish I could give this place more stars but unfortunately this rating is directly related to the crowd that it attracts. The only way I would recommend going here is if the place is completely empty because they do have a great selection of tequilas and a modern ambience. Unfortunately this place is a predatory sausage fest. It’s a douche factory. If you’re a single girl who likes to wear miniskirts without underwear for the attention than this is the place for you.

The drinks are overpriced. The bartenders are efficient but not that friendly. The acoustics are really, really bad: if there’s a DJ going on, you practically have to scream for your friend to hear you. They have a wide selection of booze but so do other, cheaper places. The Bro Quotient is too high for me.

by far, our favorite bar! and we love cordelia — she makes the best extra dirty martinis ever. besides the good music and awesomely huge tv screen, you can order food from next door and eat it at the bar. great food and great booze, make for an amazing night.

Very rude employees. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Our group was very upset and just wanted to leave as soon as possible

I was in dire need of a bathroom at Arts Alive tonight so I strolled into The Pearl to do a number two. While it fits their fancy industrial-​chic design esthetic perfectly, the stainless steel, no-​seat, jail toilets are not the business, when you need to do your business.
The sausage sliders are delicious and the bartender was friendly.

First time here and had a great experience, bartenders were awesome and met great people.

On more than one occasion, I have seen one of the «bouncers» (short brown hair) who was currently working getting all sweaty and nasty with one of the drunk female customers on the dance floor. There was, probably still is, one short Latin bartender who hits on all the ladies that he serves, which I find repulsive since the customers don’t appreciate the vulgar comments he makes. They had one bartender who was alright for a while, but he left. I stopped going there because I got sick of putting up with the rude and unprofessional people that work there.

Bartenders have been awesome every time I’ve been there! Thursday’s with pressure Anya have been fun! Great music! Awesome and clean atmosphere:)

This is by far the best bar experience I have had in Humboldt. The place was clean, the atmosphere was modern and accepting. The bartender was comical and helpful. I wasn’t sure what to order so I just went with a Moscow Mule. The liquor selection is quite impressive. My drink was exceptional and I was able to enjoy it and actually have a audible conversation.
Oh and if you’re in the mood for some great food! Head over next door to Five Eleven! Truly amazing food, great service and comfortable seats!

Our favorite spot to go dancing. We enjoy the DJs and «Fuego» night. It was recently remodeled and connected to 511. Everything is shiny and new. Drinks are good and at reasonable prices. My only complaint is the bar tenders tend to be not the nicest around. If they were friendlier and smiled more and appeared to be having fun, we’d go more often.

Decided to check out what appeared to be the only non meth lab owned tavern in Humboldt county. Learned once again not to judge a book by its cover. Sleek stainless exterior and upscale interior was nothing more than a disguise for a harbinger for low rent low life’s. Don’t get me wrong — I love a great neighborhood or local dive bar. This place however was overrun by stoners and unfriendly losers. At 11pm on Friday night there were about 8 people in the bar — most of which you wouldn’t want to stand within 10 feet of cause they smelled like the bottom of a 5 year old bong that had never been cleaned. The jackass next to me thought it would be cool to throw his drink on his dreadlock sporting moronic friend. Unfortunately, his 2 brain cells misfired and ended up soaking the unfortunate individuals at the bar. Rather than ejecting the dumbass from the establishment, the autistic bouncer ignored the Cretan’s behavior. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a place to chill or hang out, or spend an evening with your lady — AVOID THIS JOINT LIKE A USED CAR SALESMAN!

Drinks are well made. Ricky is an excellent bar tender. Now, the reason I decided to write the review. The wings with habanero sauce are AMAZING. I eat indian food daily, so I’m used to eating spicy, these wings made me sweat. Good stuff!

Being a bay native, working out of town for a month, this is the perfect spot to hang out whether you’re by yourself or with your friends. Makes me miss home less. Oh should stop by here if you ever end up stopping at Eureka. Drinks are cheap and you’ll probably hang out here all night.

I’m a man of peace, a lover, not a fighter, but places like this reduce me to wanting to get my fight on. That’s not a bad thing. Sometimes it’s nice to slug someone’s skull— or get knocked on your ass.
So, I’m an ancient HSU grad, but I come back to area a time or two. For a recent trip, I was there with a gaggle of homies. We wanted to go out for a night (Saturday night, that is), so one of our local friends recommended the Pearl.
FROM THE OUTSIDE:
It was a mixed bag. The bar front was stylishly modern and metal. But the douchebaggery, hipster-​ness, and knuckle-​headed-​dom observed outside on the street did not bode well.
ON THE INSIDE:
It was worse. Yes, they had a dancefloor and some danceable music was spinning, BUT it was too packed! I mean seriously. It was freakin’ hard to breathe in there, much less maneuver. Miraculously, some of the scouts in my group were able to negotiate some chairs & a table (a high point). But I swear, there were several times when I said to myself, «Is Corey G gonna have to slap a fool?» (a la Wayne Brady from Chappelle Show).
I bit my lip and fought the urge. Instead…
We hit the dance floor. Yes, music DOES soothe the savage beast.
So yeah, if you can hit it here on a less crowded night, I’m sure this place is alright, just beware of the hecka-​crowded nights (because my fist might be flying your way!). ;)

this place is a a dive bar with a fancy liquor menu. from the douchbags hanging around outside, to the creeps lurking inside… all the way to the inadequate and rude bartenders. I havent been here in months and there’s good reason why. Its tiny, jam packed with horny college students and creeps trying to bring girls home, oh ya and the bartenders are absolute morons. What bar serving alcohol makes fun of the DD when they ask for water? They told our friend to «go drink water from the rain puddles» they said some other rude things then ignored him and walked away. When I said something they told me he was a liar and that never happened. This was Ricky the bartender and his idiot of a barback. Ricky the bartender is an absolute JOKE
