"For a taste of the tropics in landlocked Tennessee, head to East Nashville’s Pearl Diver, where bright daiquiris and mojitos and fitting snacks like oysters and shrimp conjure distant shores. The tiki-influenced spot wouldn’t be complete without its colorful patio housing benches, tables, and cabanas that can be reserved ahead of time for a food and beverage minimum ($400 for small cabanas and $500 for large)." - Kellie Walton
"This year, the national Miracle holiday pop-up bar has re-upped Pearl Diver as its de-facto Nashville headquarters. And Pearl Diver’s risen to the occasion with tinsel, lights, and ornaments stuffed into every corner of the room. On the menu: spiked eggnog and the Marshmallows and Unicorns with gin, vanilla liqueur, cherry liqueur, cardamom, black pepper, marshmallow, lemon, egg white, and tiki bitters served in a Christmas unicorn mug you can take home for an extra cost. The pop-up runs daily through December 30." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"National Halloween cocktail pop-up Numbskull is making its way into Nashville, taking over East Nashville’s Pearl Diver. Expect creepy, circus-esque decor and a set cocktail menu with drinks like the Human Canvas (mezcal, squid ink, aloe vera, ghost chile, falernum, lime acid) and the Pennywise Punch (dry gin, rum, salted banana, coconut, forbidden rice, lemon); $7 shots; and fun themed merch." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"Pearl Dive is a raw bar and seafood restaurant in Clarksville, right across the street from the famous El Arroyo sign. Finish taking your pictures of whatever witticism is displayed, then head inside for ceviches, tartares, caviar, and, of course, oysters." - Nicolai McCrary
"Tons of tiki favorites and tropical vibes await at East Nashville’s first relaxed island lounge. Bartenders here blend up everything from classics like pina coladas and daiquiris — to a rum and grapefruit Floridita — and namesake Pearl Diver, with blended rum, orange, and West Indies spices." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
