Very unique space they have at this bar. Had a really good time at a party, DJ Milo was great, the music was so good. The space is very funky, we have rabbits painting on the wall. The cocktails at this bar are very well prepared, I was not expecting that. My drink was very delicious, and they have tacos outback by the patio. Las Perlas has easy access to the bar next door if you go through the back, so that’s great. Really fun spot located on seventh Street.

The best happy hour in town! (If you like margaritas) They have a yummy [well] guava margarita during happy hour that is just a little too easy to drink. Tacos out back are also really good.
My only gripe is service is a hit or miss. Multiple times the bartender has given us attitude when we didn’t give them a reason to treat us like that. But it won’t stop me from coming back.

On the side of this building, it is written “ Best margarita in Austin” or something to that effect, is what peaked my interest and got me through the front door.
I ordered the regular margarita, Ronnie, the bartender, was personable, and knowledgeable about the menu. The margarita was decent, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to drink one here.
Since this venue is downtown, street parking or a parking garage might be the best option. This bar is close to a comedy club and other downtown attractions.

Great place with cute patio and delicious micheladas!
Me and my friends really liked their green bar inside of Las Perlas.
We choose patio for our quick dinner snack and we really liked it.
The tacos were delicious and I was so glad that they have micheladas there!
It is one of my favorite beverages!
Want to come back one time
Was here for a birthday party and could not think of a better place for grown adults. The three bar sections are actually whole bars and you could just vibe in a single one if you liked. Crazy amount of options for drinks, some I've never seen or heard of. The food truck was good, but a bit pricey, you can expect that here in Austin at bars. I highly recommend!

Mezcal Margherita
In town for a business trip and the company decided to have happy hour here. Las Perlas did not disappoint! The spiced jalapeño margaritas was amazing. The brisket and carnitas tacos take the cake!! I think I’ll go back before leaving town.
2x for subpar service I've at the bar, from different bartenders. Yes the place is cute, yes the food in the back is tasty, the music can be on point as well at times, but the service just puts you in a bad mood.
Not to mention they use these massive old fashioned / rocks glasses with big blocked ice, that prompts cocktails to be served almost HALF FULL (See both pictures, two different times). I get the 'reasoning' behind it, it just looks bad. Not sure why the business owner(s) haven't adjusted that, I know I would.
Overall decent place to visit, just gotta have the patience of an elephant to deal with the bartenders.
Pros: Happy Hour everyday (I believe), huge array of mezcales, great outdoor patio, easy access to other 2 bars.
Big fan of Las Perlas with amazing selection of Mezcals. It’s also connected to a Bourbon, Whiskey bar and some awesome tacos in the patio. Friendly staff. Great place for late night drinks.

Fun spot during sxsw. Always solid tacos. It's a smaller space but never disappoints. Recommend on a normal Austin day anytime. Bartenders are always nice too.
Had the bandera shots, horchata stand and wild flower. Tequila was on point and the bartender was straight up. The tacos in the courtyard are were ok, we felt even the salsa needed more seasoning. Otherwise everything was great, will stop by again.
