ABOUT PEARL DIVER
Pearl Diver is a relaxed but lively cocktail and oyster bar in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, owned and operated by industry young guns Pez Collier and Alex Boon.

Pearl Diver strikes a balance between a rowdy cocktail bar and a mature inner-city eatery, with 100 seats 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.
