Pearl Social Santa Barbara

If your website says you’re open at 5 it would be best to either change your website or train the staff. We arrived at 5:15 with door open to be told bluntly they weren’t open. Not the preferred level of service.

Aesthetic is amazing. The service is great! Shout out to Garrett! The floral gin I had was amazing! Really cool place.

Cocktails were good, price was fair and the place has an original atmosphere.

We were waiting for a table to go dinner in the Lark, so a drink here was just perfect.

Great vibe, delicious drinks on a cool part of town

We held our wedding reception at Pearl Social and it was perfect! Our wedding was on the smaller side -- 55 people -- so we needed a space that was intimate. Pearl Social was literally perfect and we loved that there was a small outdoor space as well.

The drinks were incredible and so many people commented on how good they were. Our friends rallied hard and the Pearl Social team was super accommodating to it.

We worked with Megan to plan the event and she was extremely helpful in coordinating everything.

Highly recommend holding any event here! Thank you Pearl Social team!

We were a group of 7 ladies that came here twice in one night back in September- before dinner for a cocktail, went to dinner, then ended up coming back for a post dinner drink because we loved this place so much. We all loved our drinks, service was super friendly and had great recommendations for different preferences. Each craft cocktail was beautiful and felt special. Space felt like industrial luxe. We did not try any food here so I cannot comment on that. Great for a girls night out but I also want to bring my husband here.

Pearl Social is a worthy little bar that deserves your patronage. We tried it during the holidays when it was decked out with holiday decorations. It was very fun. The season drinks were tasty and interesting. And the food like the cheese ball were all good too. The prices are just about what you'd expect to pay in the so-called Funk Zone. we will revisit PS in 2024 to try it again.

Was beautifully decorated and drinks were amazing, staff went above and beyond and you really felt the Christmas cheer! ❤️?BUT there were a ton of children here, which I thought was … odd. There was at least ten children all under the age of 13/14 that was just a first for me going to a bar lolBUT if you have children its family friendly with changing table (even in the men’s so take a break mom) so that could be a plus for you idk

We've been here twice this holiday season for the Miracle Pop-up Bar and both visits were a bit of a let down compared to last year.First visit, we had a reservation for 6 people and ended up having to wait about 30 minutes to sit down. Standing in the cold wasn't fun. The service was great but the drinks tasted really off, especially the Yippee Ki Yay. Almost undrinkable.Second visit, we were sat right away, put in some drinks and ordered the cheese ball with olive oil lavash. The drinks were good but the cheese ball came with Ritz Crackers instead of the olive oil lavash. Not too spectacular.Maybe they were off nights but to sub in Ritz crackers for olive oil lavash is very un-Acme of them haha. We'll see you next year!

Decorations are amazing, drinks were great, service not so much. We ordered a snack that we never received...maybe she forgot? Since you are limited to an hour and a half during their pop-up Miracle Bar, we only had time to order 2 drinks. We would've had more if they came around more often. It was busy... but not overly busy....there were open tables. Overall, I wasn't that impressed.

Cannot and would not recommend this place. It was our wedding weekend and we were supposed to meet our friends at this bar. We were stopped by a random person as soon as we walked it. She was extremely rude and judgmental. She told us right away not to go in and that we were in the wrong place. We tried to explain we were meeting friends there but she told us to stop. She called a man over and he also told us we couldn't go in. Both were extremely rude and almost ruined our wedding weekend. There are a lot of other options around and we ended up going to a place across the street which was a really fun place. Avoid this bar like the plague, do not let them ruin your night.
