Pearly Baker’s Ale House

A new chapter in the storied history of this downtown dining anchor unfolds as Pearly Baker’s offers up a New American menu with global accents. The finesse of classic French techniques enhances the quality of pub fare favorites and well-composed main plates, with vegetarian and gluten-free designations simplifying guests’ decision-making. Crowd-pleasing and approachable USDA Prime beef arrives in the form of a 10-ounce boneless New York Strip Steak, complemented by sumptuous au poivre sauce and roasted fingerling potatoes. Shaved asparagus salad in sherry vinaigrette adds crunch and a bright acidic counterpoint to the rich meal. 

The vintage bar dispenses craft cocktails, house wines, and an impressive selection of rotating craft beers on tap. Get cozy with a glass and enjoy live no-cover music Friday and Saturday, or catch a new comedy show.

Scratch-made Speatzla “Mac & Cheese” can make mouths forget they ever loved Italian macaroni. In this vegetarian starter, a robust Cooper cheese and heavy cream sauce lavishly coats densely delicious German egg noodles accented with scallions and crisped onions.

the ambiance
While a revamped dining room, adorned with a spectacular crystal chandelier, now provides a casual-chic lounge-like atmosphere that entices guests to linger over dinner and drinks, the spacious and handsome yesteryear bar supports an energetic nightlife – or soak up the urban vibe at a sidewalk table on the famed “circle.”
