Next Sneak Peek: Inside Arthur & Sons and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ
As we shared recently, two new dining spots are in the works for Downtown Disney from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori: Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbonand Pearl’s Roadside BBQ. Here is a first look at design plans for the interior spaces!
Arthur & Sons steakhouse will serve premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads, along with an impressive selection of bourbon and cocktails. Crisp lines mixed with rich wood tones add style to the interior, which will be comfortable and sophisticated featuring a prominent bar, an array of plush booths, warm table seating throughout and private dining.
Nearby, Pearl’s Roadside BBQ will be a quick service eatery blending the best of chef-driven, modern barbecue with traditional North Carolina cookouts. The menu will feature pulled pork, beef brisket and smoked heritage turkey with house-made sauces, along with craft beers and moonshine cocktails.
Inside the restaurant, a hand-painted mural will set the scene, while aromas of fragrant hickory and oak tease the palate. Fixtures and finishes will evoke the nostalgia of a vintage filling station renovated to become a vibrant and bustling BBQ joint. The spacious patio and Shine Bar will have views of the Downtown Disney promenade, creating a welcoming vibe for guests to make a pit stop to enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail or casual meal that is prepared low and slow.
