Pearl Diver is a relaxed but lively cocktail and oyster bar located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, owned and operated by industry young guns Pez Collier and Alex Boon. Pearl Diver strikes the balance somewhere between rowdy cocktail bar and mature inner-city eatery, with 100seats divided into comfortable banquets, bar seating and high tops, all equally fitting for a quick CBD pit stop as they are a long, leisurely evening.
Pearl Diver is about good eating, good drinking and good people.
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.
