Toronto has been waiting too long for a spot like this! Black Pearl is the city’s newest bar and live music venue with a laid-back vibe that’s unlike anything else you’ll find in the downtown core.
Black Pearl is the latest venture by Hanif Harji and Terry Tsianos of Scale Hospitality, the duo behind some of the city’s most buzzworthy restaurants, so you already know that you’re in for something special.
Marked by an unassuming red doorway around the corner from King St West, Black Pearl is like stepping into your coolest friend’s living room.
