The Pearl Sports Bar — Restaurant in Manchester

Updating my review from recent bombs. I'm not sure on their bouncer situation (we didn't see or deal with one), but the vibes described in negative reviews were not at all my experience. The food being overpriced? Are you kidding me? $10 for a salad and $10 for 6 chicken tenders? That's a very good price in this area and year (2025), get real.

Overview: As a new bar in town amongst several others, it shows a lot of promise. The vibe is nice, the food is really good, the music isn't loud, and there's tons of TVs.

Food: Jalapeno stoppers were a really good app, definitely worth a try, especially if you like jalapeno poppers. These tasted and looked like they were freshly prepared. Caesar salad was good, I would get it again and for the price it's a good deal. boneless tenders came out fresh and really good, more chicken to breading, which is a plus. The cowboy burger was alright, a little overdone and the patty had too much charr. the garage beer is exactly what you would expect, a nicer PBR, and the prices are reasonable. the meatball salad is a hit but also a miss, either another meatball is needed (or bigger ones); or the salad needs to change as the mix is odd.

Service: overall was good but was lacking on the speed. The waiters and staff were all friendly and nice, but I was questioning how different it would be had the bar been packed. they seemed to care how the food came out which was nice to see.

Other: -the prices were a lot better than most neighboring restaurants, and with the same if not better quality. the bathroom was clean and kept, surprising for a sports bar in my opinion, so that's a plus! lighting for photos isn't great but that's not a...

I have been to your establishment twice. I was very excited to try it by recommendation of a friend. First what I liked. The atmosphere and decor were great. The music playing was good. For a sports bar, lots of TV’s. Service was good but not very many people there. My issue was with the food. First night I got the haddock. It was nothing special and so small like 1/2 of a tiny thin fillet. Little flavor. I did like the vegetable medley. My friend had the lemon chicken which was way better. The second time was for trivia/taco Tuesday. I got the beef tacos. There was no taco seasoning and little flavor at all. No salsa, guac, sour cream. The sauces that came with it were not great. I think if you are going to be a sports bar, lean into that and do the food amazing! People will pay if the know the food will be great. I would really love to see this place succeed so I will try again. Granted there are many items I haven’t tried, but not sure how many more chances....

I’m so surprised by the negative reviews because I can’t say enough good things about this place. I was there for the first time Tuesday of this week and everything was incredible! The server was attentive and sweet, the bartender made the best margarita I’ve ever tasted, the owner was so friendly and on top of everything, the vibes were immaculate, it’s nice looking inside, lots of tvs for sports viewing, the menu was great! Prices are low compared to most places I’ve been recently. The south west salad was delicious. I mean honestly I don’t have a single negative thing to say about the place! I can’t wait to go...
