PEARL DIVER is a dynamic oyster bar & bistro in the heart of Melbourne’s theatre precinct co-owned and operated by hospitality industry guns Alex Boon & Pez Collier.
Accompanying the incredible selection of seasonal oysters, enjoy our full bistro menu featuring small, medium & large plates paired with a concise and highly curated wine list selected by Collier or cocktails by award winning bartender Boon.
PEARL DIVER takes reservations in our bar area and dining room. Whether you’re looking to sit back and sip, slurp and savour your way through your time with us at the bar or a full dining experience in our dining room we offer reservations for both.
We had a lovely night last Thursday and the team was super pleased with the service and delicious food. Please pass our thanks to the front and back of house!
We hosted an event with Pearl Diver and had such an amazing experience. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in the lead up to the event and on the day. The food and cocktails were a hit with our guests, and we would definitely come back again!
The staff were amazing, food delicious and the venue was great! Please pass on my thanks to Alex and the team.
Located in the Theatre District at the top end of the Melbourne CBD, PEARL DIVER underwent a six-month renovation and has emerged a space that plays host to a relaxed but lively crowd from industry, to influencers, theatre goers and week-day city warriors. The 100-seater is divided into comfortable banquets, bar seating, high tops and an impressive, shared table that doubles as a private dining room, featuring an iced oyster-well running its length. Enjoy a fully seated Bistro style dining experience or the perfect afternoon or evening standing canapès and cocktail event.
