Bar Review – The Black Pearl (Fitzroy VIC) – 2.5 Stars
I know they thought they were improving The Black Pearl with the new couches, redecoration, and changed menu; but unfortunately, they got rid of the spirit of the place with the patched leather armchairs. The new fit-out would look more at home on Chapel St than Brunswick St, and the overly pretentious menu spends more of its time trying to make you look stupid than provide you with beverage information. When you do find a drink you enjoy, they are good; but you’d really expect that for $18. It really is such a shame; this place used to be great.
