"The back patio at Pearl Diver feels like a giant cabana at a resort, with string lights and multi-color panels framing the entire wooden space. They like to play movies like Big Lebowski or Caddyshack on mute, while poolside disco and funky pop playlists create a fun soundtrack for tasting something new with salted starfruit and chile liqueur. At night, there’s usually plenty of seating, including semi-private booths and a sunken section where friends in sparkly jumpsuits and members-only jackets are probably clinking glasses of daiquiris and getting lost in conversation." - ann walczak, bailey freeman, adam sloan

"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
"The team at Pearl Diver is mixing it up this year with the introduction of Sippin’ Santa, a pop-up from the legendary tiki connoisseur Beachbum Barry (also the owner of iconic Latitude 29 in New Orleans). Vibes are Santa on a surfboard and tropical oases with tiki drinks to match. The entire place is decked out in holiday decor with plenty of tiki flair, including a selection of specialty tiki mugs for purchase. Sip a Frosty the Merman out of a Santa-inspired merman or a Sugar Plum Mai Tai out of a shark. Check out the full menu for the pop-up here." - Ellen Fort
"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
