Pearl Bar

Such a great spot! We were there on a Sunday and it was packed full of amazing humans, everyone dancing and enjoying their evening.Cheap drinks, good service, and a great space! Also loved the way they decorate. Would go back!

Celebrated my birthday here and had a blast! Drinks were amazing, and I got a photo with Amber from amberscloset. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean!Update: Im back at Side Peace, next door, as a vendor this Pride Market Sunday. The process of becoming a vendor was SO easy! All I had to do was text a number from their Instagram, and show up at 2pm with a table and my products. They dont charge to have a spot! I love the community connections Im making, tips Im hearing and learning, as well as the atmosphere!Update: Im back at Pearl and SidePeace celebrating another birthday. The give and take with the community, spreading love and joy has truly made this the Best Birthday EVER!!!

Went here last night. Not sure why Pearl was closed. We went after like 2200 and their Google profile says open until 0200. Side Peace was open and trashy as hell. Separate review for them.Hoping to visit Pearl again and maybe it will be open and hopefully a better experience than their other bar next door. Also why on earth is parking so terrible and expensive??? Montrose bars are nicer and don’t charge for parking on Wednesday. Also they have asphalt. Hint hint. Not all of us want to get our nice cars dirty on gravel lots.

I don’t know why all of the negative comments of the check in / entrance point to this place! Haven’t you heard of June 12, 2016, the Pulse shooting that had happened. It was the single deadliest mass shooting in US history. I’m not saying any place is safe from violence but Pearl just tries to be one of the SAFEST places. It is a place of hope and community for LGBTQ+ people. They can provide a place to spend time with like-minded people, listen to music, and have a drink. I enjoyed my time there and will return , knowing my time spent there will be a safe place, no matter if I have to have security peep in my purse so that there’s no gun or knives. I love the fact they care for us like that.

This is the third time I go and the bartender says I’m yelling at her ordering a drink? There is Loud music playing. Go to the owner and she is is just as delusional And throws me and my friends out and we didn’t do anything worse birthday experience ever we all didn’t realize what we did. I will never go back to this bar ever again

As a gay man, I’ve never been to a Lesbian bar. First time—I’ve never felt so welcomed and so comfortable in an LGBTQ environment. I had fun I danced on the gorgeous host. This was one of the best nights in Houston to be quite honest. Can’t wait to go back.

So much fun, great DJ and really affordable drinks

A friend of mine and her little sister was racially profiled, then jumped by the employees and owner of this bar. then they were illegally banned. You would think minorities could feel safe in a gay bar and have a good time but apparently not. i would avoid here at all cost.UPDATE: this is not a harassing review this is an honest review of your establishment and my experience here. it’s crazy that i leave a honest review and get threatened. i’m glad you have video evidence or whatever you saying because it’ll show that my friends sister was jumped. so your saying because according to you, allegedly , she “lunged” at someone… it’s okay to JUMP her???? multiple of YOUR EMPLOYEES assaulting a 21 year old 90 pound FEMALE is okay with you? just so you know everything your replying back is also being documented and reported. *also* if you go down your reviews i am not the first and bet on anything that will not be your last review about being racially profiled here at this establishment.

Security was very professional and nice, they seemed they actually cared about the guests. Bar was well-manned and had really quick service and good prices. Even though I am not part of the intended clientiel crowd, I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe!

Hands down, the best bar in houston! The staff is extremely sweet, drinks are amazing, and you can definitely tell the owner cares about the community and her customers❤️ Pearl is a safe space for my friends and I, who come from all walks of life. 10/10 recommend 👌

Antonio refused entry to an off duty certified peace officer which is a violation of Texas Law Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 2.1305. Antonio was extremely rude, unprofessional and would interrupt anytime you try to speak. The 3 females in front of us didn’t get asked the weapons question, which is obvious discrimination based on sex. Do not waste your time or money at this place. Highly disappointed.I explained that most establishments want armed police officers, even off duty, because it is an extra layer of protection, and his exact words were “I don’t want anybody protecting this place.” …just wow. Hope you don’t want to go drink somewhere that your safety is not a priority.

One of the best bars in Houston. The music and vibe is awesome, drinks are affordable, security is great and they have an awesome patio

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.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. Pearl is my go to after hours, service is top tier and the vibe is great! music is turnt and versatile. The owner Julie is accomadating, such a beautiful spirit. I always feel welcomed, they GETS DOWN . Yaassss baby yaaaass.!

A Fun, eccentric, and lively bar. Lots of nightly activities and specials. Enjoyable for LGBTQ+ and allies alike. Plenty of loud action or quiet photo-op spots for an intimate chat.

Julie is an amazing lady and I can’t wait to come see exactly what is going on here! If it’s like she is then the place is LiT! Let’s Go!

Very nice place to go and hang out on a Friday night plus thats Latin night I had a lot of fun I will go there again and recommend it to all

Theres a cover and they only take Venmo or Cash like a drug dealer. Its 2024, we moved on from cash. Cover = LESS MONEY WE SPEND ON ALCOHOL. Go to Bagby, theres like 6 bars with free entry and better crowds. Theres no reason to pay cover at Pearl. Kinda bummed out the girls but we move on!

The owner of the bar Julie Mabry is the best human Ive met in a long while. Houstons only lesbian bar , female ran and operated, a safe haven for all peoples. highly recommend the bar Wednesday is a great night to go if youve never been to a drag show. Tuesday night they have drag karaoke, the weekend dress up and get down!!!

I was actual going to visit this place because I seen on a show I was watching recently. But I have changed my mind not due to the reviews but due the response on the reviews. The owner reviews are very unprofessional and just don’t seem like genuine or pure. I am really sad about this because I actually wanted to visit but I have definitely changed my mind.

I love this bar! Happy Hour prices are phenomenal, drinks are great, security is very vigilant, and the vibes are immaculate.Not to mention the ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!Come out to Pearl if you ever want to feel safe and welcome and have a great time!!!

One of these comments stood out to me I was their that night and witnessed the owner and her workers jump one of their customers as they are walking out and accusing her of having a weapon when it was obvious she did not have. It was just shocking seeing an establishment allow there works and owner to act in such low manner. For this reason I don’t recommend and would rate lower if possible, haven’t been back since. 👎🏽

Thank you Pearl Bar for showing a couple of Okie girls a good time! Such a great space and vibe, if a *little* challenging to get in 😘. Julie, keep up the good work!

This WOMAN WHO IS ACCUSING SOMEONE OF HAVING A GUN AND RUNNING THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND PUTTING HER HANDS ON WOMEN OF COLOR. She’s disgusting and super vile. If she has time to reply to these comments that just says a lot. This is a HONEST REVIEW

Very cool atmosphere, lots of places to take a selfie - loved the outside setup, drink menu had a Halloween theme, met some cool people and overall a good Lez bar. The music was on point too. Was free to get in and drinks were like $7.50 each. Parking was $25.

Pearl bar is a safe space for all. Good prices on drinks and always something fun going on!

I have personally seen the owner Julie be extremely violent and abusive to customers and especially towards her Partner/Significant Other. This lady has serious issues. Please beware

This is absolutely my favorite bar in Houston! The bartenders are amazing, I love the djs and the music. The door guys, especially Antonio, make you feel so safe. The people that work here are such amazing people. I’ve brought so many friends here and they always leave saying how much fun they had. They also have a cute patio in the back that is a great place to be at to enjoy nice weather.

The best Friday night yet!

A fun place with a friendly staff! Good seating on the inside, great seating on the outside (and plenty of it). I cant wait to spend time out there in the summer when its a bit warmer.Seating is comfortable for bigger butts, but the couches are low, so depending on mobility, you may need a hand up.This was one of the most accessible places Ive visited in Houston so far. Ramps, spacious bathrooms, and plenty of room for wheelchairs.

Good vibes, drinks are pretty good. Wish they had more fans cause it gets super hot in there. I like the outdoor deck and decor, it’s nice when the weather is.

I loved this bar! I had such a fun time last Sunday. I came during Happy Hour. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, the music was diverse and pretty good, the DJ does a TERRIFIC JOB!! I loved the drinks. The patio area is huge and spacious, which I admire. Very good food too. I enjoyed my time and will be coming back. :)

This is an amazing place to go for anyone in the community! It always feels safe and you can expect to have the good time. There’s lots of events like drag shows and art markets, all with amazing people.This venue is very disability friendly and the owner helped me get to the bathroom quickly when I need to. There’s ramps and everyone can get around safely. Pearl is a Houston treasure.

My wife and I were visiting from another state and decided to go to the local bar Pearl. Upon arriving I noticed they had security which I felt safe knowing they were checking purses and scanning for metal objects. We ordered 2 margaritas came out 13.50. 20 min later we ordered 2 more which the total was 16.00. NO BIGGIE! Not only the price increased I dont think they added any liquor. Next I ordered a Corona and a coke 12.00. I paid and exited out this place. Julie please train your bartenders.

The atmosphere is great and theres a good amount of drink specials. Music is pretty mid though with little variety (even with guest DJs) so go somewhere else for dancing.

Pearl Bar is fantastic. Note that it is wheelchair accessible despite what Google may say and the owner is very responsive to access needs.

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.

I used to love coming here weekly and now it’s once every few months. The bartenders are super sketchy. I had multiple tabs under my name and was giving multiple charges and they all seemed to have ridiculous tips added to them. Second time this has happened to me at this location. Probably won’t ever be returning or if so I’d advise people to use cash.

I usually have a good time when I’m here, however last night I was physically assaulted by this bodyguard who’s photo is below. Last night around 2a when the club was closing, I was asked by a girl who works there to finish my drink as it was time to start heading out. I told her that my friend just walked into the restroom and that the drink (which was a big shot) was for us, but will be finished before we walk out. The girl said no, and insisted I need to finish the drink right now. I said the same thing, thinking maybe she didn’t hear me because of how loud & packed the club was. She said OK, and walked away, thinking she was going to tell others the same thing. Instead, I guess she told the bodyguard who came out of nowhere with no verbal warning, but instead physically put his hands on me so aggressively that my hand still hurts. He squeezed the cup so hard out of my hand that the cup squashed and the shot spilled all over me (so now I’ve also wasted money). He proceeded to chest bump me, telling me to get out of the club because I didn’t listen to her. I was asking him why he approached me by physical force instead of approaching me verbally? I was also telling him to stop chest bumping me out the club, which is why I took photos.I have would have told him the same thing I told her, so I don’t understand why I’m being physically forced out the club. It was so packed still, that he was pushing me into people. So why couldn’t I wait for my friend so that we could take the drink together??? I was not hostile, and I was not aggressive, so I do not feel his physical force was deserved or acceptable. I asked him to speak to management once out the club, which ofc he did not grant my wishes. So I’m hoping by writing this review my complaint will be taken more seriously. Thank you

I was hanging out by the bar and enjoying my time peacefully. The owner came out of nowhere visibly drunk saying “I own the place”. Didn’t mind her to much until she bumped into me and accused me of pushing her. I was kicked out along with another group of Hispanics. Stop being arrogant it’s going to lose you business.

This bar is not a safe space for black queers and its very intentional yet they proudly call themselves allies. I performed here as a black performer for almost two years and I was treated horrendously especially towards the end when I brought up serious issues and was met with nothing but anti blackness and hate if youre a black lesbian steer clear. Julie and Ian harassed me and my partner for weeks they are not the angels everyone claims they are.

I have lived in a lot of states and been to a lot of bars and as a queer and trans person, have never felt the safety and intentional love that Julie (bar owner) creates in this space. I am so thankful to the work she pours into our community 24/7, its truly a saving grace. Im emotional just talking about it. If youre LGBTQ+ and trying to find your people, to find a space you can be yourself, come here and bring your friends. I like coming on Sundays because its a bit less loud, for mimosas with my wife and our dogs on the patio. Also, the staff is phenomenal and silly goofy but good at their jobs, the door guy/bouncer is amazing too.

I do love coming here it has good vibes and is chill. I really wish hetero couples were not allowed to walk in because I am tired of people looking for a unicorn, and this goes for any queer bar.

Someone smashed my window and took my bag. They went through the glove compartment as well. My car was parked on the street across from the apartment complex. It’s a fun bar just be safe out there

Was looking for bars to enjoy with my cousins as I was visiting from London. Someone on TikTok recommended pearl bar but honestly I wish we didn’t go. They made us feel unwelcome and asked us to leave because my cousins was dancing and having fun. They apologised to her the next day but honestly I think this should be a learning lesson. People will take shots and dance (however they want, even if it’s with a girl that one of the bartenders like). ALSO don’t serve drinks if you want a boring bar. None of us were drunk or causing a scene. We left and I will never return.

It’s rare and special for AFAB and trans people to have such an amazing place to call home, and Pearl is exactly that. Thank you, Pearl and Julie, for being there for every part of the community and creating such a fun and beautiful place for us!

Whoever was working the front on Sunday April 16th was doing a great job of keeping the bar empty — they had denied me and my 6 friends entry because I was “intoxicated”, even though it was one of the first stops of the night. It could have been discriminatory, I was holding hands with another man. Hopefully the bar will stand up against this type of behavior and put a stop against the bouncers being the arbitrators of morality when it comes to male-male compassion.

Every time I go I get amazing drinks and have an amazing time. Safest space I’ve ever been in within the houston bar space. Every time I’ve visited I’ve been served by Emma at the bar. She makes killer drinks and has great energy! My go place and go to bartender :)))

Amazing vibe! Music and beautiful people on point! Went alone still had a great time!! 😁 will definitely be going back! Highly recommend 🥂

Met my wife there. Reasonably priced drinks, great time, and Julies steaks are immaculate. Also the only bar in town I feel safe at being a trans woman, I encourage my sisters to check it out.

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. 😮

I really wanted to like this place. A bunch of my friends were recommending it to me, even though I had heard some complaints about the owner. I decided to try it anyway and they were right, the owner was not the vibe. I saw her throw some people out over a spilled drink. It didnt look purposeful on their end so I dont know why it was that big of a deal. I dont usually leave reviews but the experience was enough to make me consider not going back.

This was a fun bar with a great patio! I went with friends for Supee Bowl!

Great atmosphere..great steaks in Tuesday nights.

They had good drinks and a pretty bartender. Id recommend it.

I like how this place is decorated, nice atmosphere with a great patio. I’ve only been here twice (invited by girl friends) but both times I was deliberately ignored and skipped over for a while at the bar. I felt the reason might be because I’m a man. I didn’t like that, but I get it.

I had mixed emotions about it. Music was ok but the people where not. Well not if your black sorry to say. Wouldve been better with a mixed crowd and more drinks and newer hip hop songs.

I’ve never been to this bar and decided to give it a shot on my night out with friends and upon arriving I pulled out my passport since I lost my state ID and the bouncer looked at it for a while and mind you I’ve lost 159 pounds so the passport picture was obviously me but heavier and I explained that and he asked for anything else for identification. I used to be an ID checker at a club myself for 3 years and I knew that a credit card with my name on it should suffice. He denied that and made me go on my Facebook with him looking over my shoulder to go to old photos of me from when I was heavier to prove it was indeed me in my passport picture In front of everyone. It was incredibly humiliating especially on a night out when you’re trying to feel yourself and have fun and not look at pictures of yourself from the darkest points of ur life lol. It honestly ruined my entire experience there and went to straight to the bathroom to try and get over the embarrassment I felt and left after 1 drink. The music was good and the bartenders were quick but I will literally never go back there solely because of that experience.

My girl and I came to Houston from Atlanta to celebrate my girlfriend birthday. We decided to party at pearl bar and Im so happy we did. There was no cover. $15 parking in a close well lit parking lot. We loved everything about this bar. Especially the dj she was awesome. Ive never seen a dj read the crowd so well. She played music for everyone and I absolutely loved it. I met so really cool people. This is definitely a go to spot in Houston.

Im wondering why there was a lady in the back asking if you want your picture taken then printing it out on a little printer and charging $10 for it without prior notice of a charge. Not to mention my phone takes better pictures. Was very off putting. I understand the hustle these days but that was not the experience I expect from there.

Always a good time here!! Have met some awesome people here too! Patio is great with a good atmosphere

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 🎉🍷🍹🍸🍺🍻

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 inclusive, lgtbq friendly bar. This is a lesbian bar and they have dancing at night. There was a $5 cover when we came, but the vibe more than justified this price. Great music, cool patio and amazing drinks!

This establishment is a very dangerous and unsafe place and environment to be in. The owner of this place has physically put her hands on women of COLOR and has behaved extremely unprofessionally and made accusations towards the same people she makes money off of.

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!

I was there with a friend and my daughter .This is a very laid back chill bar.Every body at the bar was great .And it was Tuesday night steak night.This by far was the best steak that i have out side my own .And i have been to all the steaks houses in Houston.The owner cooks the steaks on the grill out side on charcoal.You can not get better then that .Great drinks.

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 😭😒)

Chanel at the back bar is where its at! In full disregard to the bar inside, Chanel at the back bar provides service in a timely manner, service with a smile and service with an awesome personality. If it was up to me she would be placed in the busier position(main bar) to attract all and any customer. CHANEL IS THE BEST BARTENDER HERE!

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!

Awesome bar!!! always good drinks, reasonably priced, and great entertainment!!! please come support one of the few lesbian bars we have left ❤️

Came to Houston for the weekend & my gf and i needed something to do . Pearl bar was nice , drinks were good music was good for the most part. Just wish theyd play a little more up to date music . But overall we had lots of fun, very diverse crowd !!!

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

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.

I always have fun here. Its obviously a LGBT bar and even though Im straight they are very welcoming of everyone. I lost my wallet here and they went out of their way to get it back to me. Steak and bingo night rocks and everyone there is fun and friendly.

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.

One of the best Lesbian bars I’ve been to. Great outdoor seating area to chat at, and the indoor dance floor is great!

Music was amazing! It’s great for a 50/50 vibe! If you want to chill and drink there’s a patio, if you want to party hardy there’s a dance floor

The owner is racist or on a constant power trip because me and my friend were just trying to get thru the crowd to go outside and the “owner” (idk her name but she’s blonde white and short) accused us of pushing people (it was crowded) and kicked us out for no reason. Horrible ownership.

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.

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

Great place to go if you want a bit of outdoor games and Shenanigans as well as indoor clubby dancing... Decent drink prices.. Friendly staff. It did take an extremely long time to get a drink on a particular occasion. The bar was not crowded at all, it was that the bartender was running her mouth with two patrons and basically ignored me for about 10-15 min. Normally I would have just walked away and went to the indoor bar, but I got curious on how long she would make me wait. No Bueno.

Love this place! Good music, drinks and events. The bartenders are friendly and you can tell the staff is all about peace, unity, love and respect. There’s a dance floor inside and patio outside with games for people looking to chill.

I just seen you guys on the TV. Awesomejob ladies!

Love the music, and love the outdoor patio with beer pong, hula hoops and other games. It can get really crowded during the weekend, but its definitely a fun spot to hit up. The drinks are fairly priced on Washington than most other places as well.

Texas is so lucky to have a lesbian bar in Dallas and Houston! This Houston bar is fun, nice outdoor space. Tuesday steak night has massive portions. Lots of different events each day. Cant go wrong.

I love going to Pearl Bar. Its one of the coolest bars Ive been to in Houston. The vibe is always good and drink specials/staff are the best!! The owner Julie is always around working and being a busy bee! Most def one one of my favorite bars on the Washington Ave strip.

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.

Went there with two friends and we had just arrived walked straight to the bar when we heard the bar owner telling people to stop smoking. Next thing we know someone taps on us and pulls outside and FALSELY accuses of us smoking when we literally weren’t smoking and weren’t even inside for five minutes. She claimed someone saw us and pointed us out but what she didn’t realize is the girls right behind us were the ones smoking. We could smell it so we turned around and saw them smoking, like they were very obviously smoking in our faces but we just turned around and minded our business. She literally passed right by the people who were doing it and FALSELY said it was us. We went back inside and tried to chill and drink but it literally ruined the whole night and the entire vibe so we left right away. She even followed us outside. It was such a gross experience and it ruined that bar for us.

Beautiful patio, great ambience, cool staff. We loved it so much! Already become one of our very favorite spots 💜🏳️‍🌈 thank you!

I went on Steak Night and it was perfect!! Parking is convenient, Drinks were perfect , nice vibe and the Steaks and Baked Potatoes cooked to perfection!! Nice spot to chill at ..definetly recommend this place to anyone looking for a non judgemental spot and a safe spot

People call it a dive bar, but I’m not sure I’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!

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.

Met my wife here. Love the people and the memories.

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!

I sent a review already...wasnt good. First time visiting the bar. The bartender tried to cheat me out of $10. Smh.

Great vibe ! Small but great vibe ! Drinks strong and reasonably priced . I visited on a sat the 9th year anniversary .long lines to the bathroom but that’s to be expected lol we all go to the same bathroom lol 😆

Great place to dance and catch a vibe & meet new people ! Cool & friendly environment! Great music inside and out , goodt food, cool local market on sundays, Animal friendly!

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.

Such a great and safe environment, I have never felt so inclusive and welcomed at any bar before in my life. Awesome drinks as well as hilarious karaoke, not to even mention to fun games to play outside

Very awesome place with a great environment. Good priced drinks for Washington st.Lesbian bar that is very friendly to the wider queer community and a valuable part of our local LGBTQ community.

I got pat down and searched just to get into the bar. Made me take everything out of all of my pockets and questioned every item I had which was keys a phone a wallet and a lighter. When I came in to meet my friends they told me that they didn’t do that to anyone else. Super confused why I get frisked and no one else but okay

Im thankful I was able to attend this show! Great service and entertainment.

Tuesdays is BINGO & Steak night. Staff is just as awesome as can be! Fantastic specials, huge backyard/patio out in back with plenty of games to try out. Love this place.

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.

The drag king show was amazing everyone was awesome. Other than the performances this bar is very welcoming and just about everyone is friendly never have i had a negative experience here.

So Pearl is one of the best bars in town. There is never a cover and always something going on. They have a huge patio in the back where you can play drunken cornhole. The side bar is awesome with gigantic screens to catch sporting events. The music is always great and always a live dj who is turnt all the way up. The lines are never long, which is a first for Washington Ave.

Good music....that’s about it. Almost $18 for a vodka Red Bull, or should I say just Red Bull and “Malibu” 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...I’ll pass next time!

This place definitely grew from when I used to go. The vibes are amazing and they have special guest DJ’s. I love it here and it’s always a good time.

Really nice lgbt bar. Great entertainment and loved the fact that they were dog friendly. You could actually be inside the bar with your dog. This was on a Wednesday night, not sure about other nights.

Still go to this place with my friends. Good music and Dj’s depending on the day u go. The outdoor patio is real nice. Bar and staff are super friendly.

Love pearl bar! It might be a lesbian bar, but pearl is for everyone! Make sure to catch the H-Town kings show only at pearl bar

Only lesbian bar in Houston. Best night is Saturday night. Usually great dj, Lots of dancing. They have an outdoor bar and patio. Great for groups.

An amazing place with great people. Very spacious outside patio.

Absolutely love Pearl Bar! The vibe, drinks, staff and everything is just perfect. I never walk away from Pearl unsatisfied!

Tuesday night steak and bingo nights are the best thing about this place! Besides the awesome people, bartenders and atmosphere. Great lgbtq place to just chill with some friends

Great place! Decent prices.. nice staff and customers and good staff. I would recommend to anyone seeking a laid back and friendly atmosphere. All are welcomed! Thanks Pearl!

Cant beat the great time 😜 in-store.

Absolutely love the atmosphere here! Everyone is so friendly and nice, and that king show? Omg. Every Wednesday is a party. Love this place.

The spot to be on a friday, and a Saturday night. Its popping so get there early. Good music decent prices on beer and they have fresh djs. Great people good music what more can you ask for. 👍

Definitely a great place to have fun! Dancing to awesome DJs, amazing steak nights, best prices on drinks, friendly staff!

Havent been to a bar in ages. This bar is small and seating limited if you want one go early otherwise will be standing. The drinks are pricey but music great

Awesome atmosphere. Great staff , amazing owner and the best Damn bartenders ever .this place is a must if you have never been .

Cool atmosphere. Inside is upbeat club with dance floor. Outside is more relaxed with games, tables, outside bar.

$5 entrence fee after 10pm and another $10 for parking all to be waited by slow bartenders and weak drinks. Boring atmosphere!! 0/10 would not recommend.

Has good selection of music. Very nice people. Has one pool table. Bar didnt have cream for White Russian though.

Such a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy on those summer evening on their back patio, all their staff is very friendly and inviting! Plus the drinks are fantastic!!!

I love the Pearl Bar. Julie is amazing and has created a safe and wonderful space for all.

Always good vibes and cheap drinks!

Good music, but honestly every drink I ordered was nothing but juice. For the prices not happy at all. One of the few guys here... disappointed.

The music was amazing the bartender knew how to make some great drinks. Great place for all actually and I really liked that...

Such an amazing experience everytime I come staff is so nice security is very nice very comfortable place even for straight couples. The prices omg hallelujah the prices arent sky high ! All in all AMAZING place!

Overall terrible establishment would never go back

Very lovely bar wish the gay bars were as outgoing as this lesbian bar they have games and events and its always playing good music..... Why do we gays not have something this fun!!!!

I had a great time here with some friends I hadnt seen in years. The live DJ was awesome. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

The most chill as heck lesbian bar ever. Very popular so always a cool crowd but never a bad time!

Im not even from Houston and I didnt wanna leave after visiting here! Love the drinks, met new friends and turned tf up!

Such a disappointment... hopefully Pearl retuns to her former glory; focus, consistency and reciprocity is needed before that happens though, Julie!

Love this place. Great staff. Great crowd. Something for everyone. Price are amazing. I wont go anywhere else.

This place is the bombdiggity I love it here! Everytime I go there I feel right at home. Definitely my spot for every Wednesday night ♥

Love it great music and great drink specials and love all the different DJ that come out always have a blast

One of my favorite bars in Houston! So much fun to get up there and go dancing.

Go somewhere else if you want to have a good time

The best and most welcoming place for anyone. No matter your preference, you’re going to have a good time.

Worst bar

Whats not to love about this lesbian bar!! Easy atmosphere, all kinds of women to watch and a great staff!!

Best womens bar in Houston! Wonderful comedians, music and DJs! Worth the visit.

Very good bar. Just need a lil more black music

Awesome lesbian bar.l! They have different themes/event each night if the week.

Manager is awesome. DJs are always great! Drinks are made correctly. Love it

Emma was amazing!! Loved it , loved the music !!

Nice place. Friendly people. Decent prices . Awesome floor shows . Wow . Love patio area .

I had a great time on open mic Thursday! The staff was friendly and entertaining and the atmosphere was great!

Cool little place, has corn hole and two sides with live music happening, good cocktails, and a decent beer selection.

The games were a welcomed amenity and the singer had a broad array of songs she performed.

Went to karaoke night. Loved it! Great, chill bar

DJ is bomb AF!!!!!! SHE LIT IT UP ON FRIDAY 7/15!!!!! Its spacious, but drinks a little expensive!! Good tho!!

$25 to park and $5 to enter a dead bar!! Truly disappointing.

I had a great time both times I came and I didnt have to pay... I love the staff very cool and nice.....Im definitely coming back!!!!!!

I love this lesbian bar!

Tuesdays are steak night and bingo. Nice patio area thats good for groups

I’ve only been here once because the other 4 times I tried to come they were closed. They need to update their hours on Google.

Good place for lesbian interaction over cocktails​. Stage for live music. A patio for quite conversations.

Great staff. Awesome layout. Patio games (cornhole etc.) out back. THE Lesbian Bar of Houston.

They have a great patio area and Tuesdays rock! Steak night is the best!

Came to see friends who stopped in the town. Good beers and friendly staff! Clean Restroom!!! OMG!!!

Great vibes. DJ Tina provided great music. Good place to be on any day.

So much fun dancing! Mixed crowd. Great outside space too.

Good place to go have a few drinks and they have fun games set up in the back:)

I didnt like this place at all. Its nasty. The people here are not your main stream. Stay away . The attitude is 0. Ladies here act like guys.

Chill atmosphere, love the fact its a gay bar, I feel very comfortable coming here

If you are looking for fun, great people, the best music, and out of this world drinks, then come to Pearl ❤✌🌈

So chill with right vibe of folks and spot on drinks. Busy to overly packed is the scale 😂

Its a great place to visit. The owner is Awsome! At pearl Saturday night.

The safest most inclusive bar in houston. Please come by. Theres always something poppin here.

Disgusting an dirty i saw roaches an mice, the customers serivce is unprofessional an a drag!!!!!

Great patio, enjoy visiting this bar when in the Houston area. LGBT friendly.

Great atmosphere, good drinks, and place to just let loose.

Love the environment although the DJ concentrates on hip-hop and not much on variety.

Ive been coming here for a while, I find myself coming here less and less now. Music isnt all that great on weekends and it gets pretty packed.

The BEST patio in Houston. We love this place!

Amazing atmosphere

I met the owner she is not only passionate about her bar she is cute too.

A really energetic, but cozy spot for local LGBTQ+ and others to visit

This is the place to chill and meet people!!! Only let bar Houston! Super friendly owner and staff!

Gay bar that when packed gets really tight because it is so small, but has outside activities that makes it fun.

I seriously love this bar especially on Wednesday kings of houston drag show!!!!!! I love my guys!!!

WORST PLACE EVER!! DO NOT GO HERE!! THIS PLACE ONLY LIKES TO TAKE ADVANGE OF PEOPLE AND THERE MONEY!! SO MANY BETTER BARS IN THE AREA

Kayla was always WONDERFUL. Keep Pearl alive, support your local businesses people!

Friendly and clean place I took my mom there tonight she enjoyed herself

Amazing lesbian bar. very inclusive and worth amazing steaks

Amazing place! Great drinks!

Love this place! Feels like home Whoever you are

Best club Ive been to in a while I really like all the women that club attracts

Yay Pearl!

Great place all around. Awesome crowd. We live this place!

Great drinks and great music. Always have a great time!
