Great non-stop happy hour! I firstly love Pearl because I work RIGHT across the street and there is nothing better than convenient sushi/drinks. Secondly, Pearl has a great outdoor/patio area and I will always opt for outdoor seating! Thirdly, I think I want to name my future dog Pearl (although that name list is exponentially growing).
Their 'Bombers' selection is great and FUN! $4 you can get this funky little glass 'shot' of interesting drink concoctions. As usual, I asked the bartender what she recommended and she basically made one up that wasn't on the menu (whipped cream vodka with root beer) and it was AWESOME! Also always $5 Sake Bombs!
The sushi at pearl is really quite good... lots of 'specialty' rolls aka lots of fried rolls etc. Probably a good place if someone in the group is afraid of hardcore sushi/sashimi.
The only reason it gets four instead of five stars is for the crowd it attracts. Ed Hardy shirt designs glitter in the bar lights and Louis Vuitton purses hang from the bar hooks. Not my cup of tea but the cute little 'Bomber' drinks make up for the douch vibe :)
