Fresh oysters !!! Shipped every 2 days!! They get shucked right in front of you at the bar seating and they are so yummy!!! NOT grimey !!! Also had the crudo (salmon, tuna, scallops) with the soft delicious bread. The deviled eggs were good too. Truth be told I came for the oysters tho- a variety of easy and west coast options. You would never think downtown El Paso would have a spot like this but I'm glad they do!! It's a great place to pregame before a chihuahuas game! read more

Pearl Divers Oyster Bar - Menu - Wine Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Happiness is a dozen oysters and good company. Pearl Divers is a very spacious, bright and welcoming establishment with some of the best oysters, staff and menu options! Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had." read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile now and finally was able to fit it into the schedule for an early dinner. It was fabulous! Oscar was so friendly and provided the best service. We started with the clam chowder which was flavorful and comforting. The fresh oysters were super clean and cold--perfect. The Mediterranean crudo was also very fresh and delicious. And we ended with the fish and chips. We'll definitely be back to try their other menu items. A wonderful gem in El Paso. read more

My husband and I just came here for our anniversary and it was great! The dirty martini is so good, as well as the shrimp cocktail. Loved the oysters too. Glad to have found this place! We'll definitely be back. read more

We've been meaning to try this spot since they've been open. Today we made it happen. They open at 3pm. We had clam chowder, lobster rolls, shrimp cocktail and oysters. Everything we had was very good. The menu is small ( a good thing). We didn't take pictures of the chowder or the oysters because they were in our bellies before we knew it. The beer was cold, restrooms clean, and staff attentive. We will return for round 2 read more

Had the chance to visit during their soft opening this past weekend with one of my friends who loves oysters just as much as me, and we both agreed that it is super refreshing to see an establishment like this come to town. Adjacent to the The Tiki Room, Pearl Divers features a rotating list of oysters from different regions at $3 a pop. We had the chance to try all three oysters that they were featuring for the day and we really enjoyed the palette. The oysters featured might've been limited but they had a major punch to them with flavor. My favorite were the ones that were a bit more briny, truly small but mighty. Your oysters are brought out with the traditional crackers, hot sauce, mignonette sauce, horseradish, and lemons. It was nice for them to all folks the chance to order in any quantity as I'm sure a few folks might be trying oysters for the very first time in a landlocked city. The had a finessed menu featuring carpaccio, tartare, and about ten to fifteen dishes encompassing appetizers to main entrees. We had ordered the carpaccio but it never came out (no biggie, again it was soft opening so we came in with an open mind). Since we got there a bit later in the day, they were out of frites and I am a loyal fan of oysters, frites, and bubbles (wine at the minimum). This just means we'll have to be back. What was most important to me though was the service and how friendly the staff was. We opted to sit at the bar (as one should at an Oyster bar) and be as close to the oyster display as possible. I used to live in New Orleans for a few years so sometimes when it's busier and you're chatting away they'll shuck an extra one to you every so often to try. I'm pretty stoked to see the dining scene continuously elevating and Pearl Divers is a nice rendition. I'll be certain to come back and can't wait to see what a five-star experience is out of their soft opening phase. *** If there is one piece of feedback I'd provide is to have smaller spoons for the mignonette and forks for the oysters. The current sizes are a bit too large and can easily ruin the integrity of the oyster when making sure it's been properly separated and not intact, as well as, not being able to have the right ratio of mignonette sauce for each oyster. The spoon was constantly hitting the mouth of the condiment cup. read more

Best oysters in El Paso! They taste so fresh, yes, they are small but the quality is great. Service is great and the restaurant is very clean and bright. read more

My wife and I went to this spot for date night and to get our seafood fix here in El Paso. I stumbled across this restaurant after googling seafood in the area and reading the reviews and they did not disappoint. The establishment was clean, great customer service and attentiveness, and the food was fresh. The martini that I had was awesome. I really love the touch of the blue cheese olives, the little gem Caesar was tasty and filling while the fish and chips were amazing and crisp and a mixed seafood. The mediterranean crudo was so flavorful, my wife and I really loved the scallop and salmon that was a part of the dish. We also thoroughly enjoyed the oyster Rockefeller as well. We would definitely visit again as the price to quality of food level was perfect. read more

Pearl Divers Oyster Bar - Soft Opening Review 115 Durango St Suite C, El Paso, TX 79901 What a great addition to Downtown El Paso! I stopped by Pearl Divers Oyster Bar after a meeting nearby, and I'm so glad I did. It's tucked next to the Tiki Room (same owners), just a short walk from City Hall and the train station. Totally worth the detour. The vibe is a mix of modern industrial and coastal charm -- think Fisherman's Wharf, but cleaner, cooler, and far more intentional. You can actually see your oysters being shucked right in front of you, which adds to the experience. Here's what I tried: Oysters (Chef's Choice) - Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served with a classic mignonette. Each oyster had its own unique flavor. Clam Chowder - Creamy but not heavy, with bacon, corn, herbs, and perfectly cooked potatoes. No gluey filler here! Pintxos (Gilda) - They offered this complimentary so I could try it, and it was a hit! Anchovies, olives, peppers, and even a sardine version with a little kick. A great nod to the Basque bar culture -- would love to see this catch on in El Paso. Bread - Soft and crusty, great for dipping, though it wasn't listed on the menu and came in at $7. Worth noting for anyone watching their tab. Grapefruit Radler - Refreshing, citrusy, and the perfect drink pairing for seafood. They've been doing a soft opening for a few weeks, but the official grand opening is Thursday at 3 PM. Rumor has it they may add fish & chips soon -- and possibly cioppino this fall (which I'd love!). Final take? Pearl Divers brings big-city seafood charm to El Paso in a way that feels relaxed, intentional, and exciting. It's perfect for people who want great seafood without needing to dress up or drop $100. Just walk in, enjoy, and eat well. I'll definitely be back. read more

We stopped by before closing so we didn't get to order much! We had the oysters Rockefeller and they were amazing! The Cesar was also delicious-i do wish the dressing was spread out more evenly, with cutting it ourselves it helped me make sure every bite was even! I asked for a gin drink recommendation and they made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Will be back thank you! read more

Definitely not worth it. The portion size of basically everything was terrible. Never in my life have I received not only such tiny oysters but on top of that only 4 and that was considered an entree. We ended up getting burgers at a nearby restaurant because we were still so hungry. The only redeeming factor was that the food wasn't terrible. The service wasn't terrible but definitely not good either, very slow for a Wednesday considering there were only two other tables in attendance. read more

I only bother to rate meals that are exceptional, and Pearl Divers is exceptional. Everything we ordered was fresh but the standout were the oysters, awesome martini, and the tuna carpaccio. We loved the desert so much we ordered another to go. Very cool and knowledge service, and great atmosphere. read more
