DON"T GO HERE

by specv81 at Citysearch

I went there on 9/26/09 with a group of 6. My brother and I went to the bar to order drinks and the bartender got mad because we were ordering a lot of drinks. We only ordered 1 drink for each person and a round of shots. The bartender and my brother starting arguing about the number of drinks and it got to the point were he told my brother to leave and knocked 2 drinks out from his hands. I pulled my brother away and told him to leave to keep this from getting worse and before he left my brother knocked over the rest of the drinks. As we were walking out the bartender jumped the bar and was going after my brother. I got in the way to break it up and calm things down so it wouldn’t get out of hand, only to be pushed out of the bar and arrested for assault! I had to spend a whole day in jail for no reason and I had never been to jail before in my life. The management is complete BS and I'm currently looking to press charges on the bar and bartender.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Management, Bartenders, Service, Crowded

GREAT BAR

by frank02 at Citysearch

The bar is a great place. There are a lot of hot looking women. The alcohol is not too expensive and the people attending are all good looking people between 21 and early 30s. This is a good place to go during the week and even during the weekend. The patio outside is great and there is plenty of room.

The HPD officers roaming the area will stop anyone and accuse them of DWI since they know that is an area for nothing but bars. I dont understand why the city thinks ticketing people is the way to make money when they could make way more by taxing bars if thats what they really want.

• Pros: Great Bar
• Cons: HPD in the area

ethnic unfriendly bar

by dkconcepts at Citysearch

I wish there was a way to put a negative star rating. We were just asked to leave Pearl Bar because we got upset when another patron said "f#@!$ing go back to Asia you B!@#$" to one of us. When we told the representative at the door that a person said that to us, he asked us if we were drunk and how old we are and told us we were acting like we were in middle school. I told him that regardless of whether or not we were drunk or how old we were, that racism should not be condoned in any place. He asked us to leave because we were "overreacting" to the offensive remarks. All he had to say was "I'm sorry someone said that to you. We don't condone that type of mentality" instead of trying to accuse of being drunk, immature and overreacting! The crazy part is that guy was a Hispanic guy!! We will not go back and I encourange anyone of ethnic decent to avoid this place. Management clearly condones racism!!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: not ethnic friendly
