    Lovely atmosphere with plants, fun decor, and sunlight everywhere, one of the prettiest places to grab a drink! And the drinks are also just as pretty and delicious, with a bunch of of different flavors and combos, they also can craft something for you, but the specials are so varied that you can def find something you like! Also the staff was great and made sure to check what flavors and strength you would like to steer you in the right direction, would definitely recommend!

    Dainty Dame

    I came here with girlfriends on a really lovely, temperate Monday evening. We definitely didn't expect it to be as busy as it was, but alas. We were seated right away and were brought water pretty promptly. The menu is eclectic and fun and boasts of something for everyone (mezcal & gin girl over here). I started with the Dainty Dame and will be honest that it wasn't my favorite, but was drinkable. I also had Da Rockwilder, which I liked much better! My other friends had beer and a mocktail, so nothing to really comment on there. Service was fine. Nothing overly amazing but adequate. Would return!

    I love Bar Botanico! Their drinks are super creative. Definitely always recommend the bartender's choice - it's usually a hit for everyone! The vibes are the best; dimly lit, plants and disco balls, good music. It can get a little overwhelming when it's packed, but the host is really good about managing the crowd. It's a Lawrenceville staple!

    Dirty martini

    I asked for an extra filthy gin dirty martini and this certainly delivered! We went late on a Saturday night and were able to get a table! The vibes are so cute in there. Definitely would go back!

    Love a place with bartenders choice options my friends and I all have very different preferences and wee given perfect cocktails. The inside is very small but decorated in florals and greenery. Hugeeeee alcohol selection. Small bites from a kitchen in the back.

    Bar botanico makes you feel like you teleported to a cool city bar in NYC, Miami, LA - it's so unique The perfect bar for a drink before dinner, a nightcap or a visit for a while. The bartenders are true mixologists. I thought they had such fascinating skills. I loved the fresh plants throughout the bar, it added such lovely detail.

    White Whale
    Jennifer B.

    Met friends here around 6pm. Street parking is available, but leave a little extra time to find a spot. The vibe is light and bright. Casual and modern. There is both bar and table seating. We had a group of eight and had a table in the back. The drinks are creative, strong, and fresh. There is truly something for everyone (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, wine, beer lovers). I ordered the White Whale and loved it. Our table ordered nearly one of everything on the menu and gave kudos to the drink quality all around. Service was very good. Waters were filled. Cocktails served quickly. While we didn't eat, I would definitely order the snacks next time which are perfectly paired to their cocktails.

    My friend and I went here for cocktail and had a great time. It is super boujee but the cocktails are great. Also definitely a good place for a date.

    Spirited away - gin forward martini
    Kiana F.

    I was blown away by the atmosphere, the efficiency and organization of the staff, and the drinks were incredible. Both of the gin martinis (which are sometimes hard to find) were delectable in their own very distinct right - one being fruit forward and one being more herbal, oily. I had an incredible experience here and would 1000% go back.

    I really love the vibe of this place! I was able to sit at the gorgeous bar this time and loved it! This was during dry january and I love that they had multiple zero proof mocktail options! I started with the zero proof espresso martini! It was beautiful, presentation is super important to me for my espresso tinis! Tasted good too! For my second beverage, the bartender offered to make me something off the cuff because they had a lot of zero proof spirits! It was a n/a whiskey based mocktail, and I found it really refreshing!

    Sarah G.

    Cute place to stop in for a drink! Love the plants and concept for the space. The drinks were creative and well made and also had some mocktail options! Bartenders were helpful and attentive on drink options. Overall, crafty cocktails and a fun atmosphere, so give it a try before or after your next dinner plans!

    Spirited Away
    Isabel L.

    Lovely time with evening drinks at Bar Botanico. Super clean and I love the nature aesthetic. Bartenders were really knowledgeable and attentive. All our drinks were delicious! I started with Spirited Away since I prefer Asian flavors in cocktails and it was strong and tasty! Then tried one of their hot cocktails, the Bolivia Rodrigo, and it was a perfect way to warm me up. It is very spiced so if you're not looking for that don't order it. Can't wait to go back!

    Stopped by the bar after a dinner in Lawrenceville. My friend and I got a few drinks. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't very crowded and got a seat at the bar right away. The bartender was very attentive and made some delicious cocktails. I also got a bartenders choice cocktail because I wanted a specific liqueur and it was delicious. Always a great time here with some fantastic cocktails and service!

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Very impressed by their craftsmanship and experimental flavors. There's not many places in this area that even attempt to do that. I love the speakeasy vibe. Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way

    Amazing experience from start to finish. Loved the ambiance - felt high end without being stuffy…read more My husband and I got 2 very interesting cocktails- one was like a spicy dill margarita and one was a dirty martini with a black pepper/curry taste to it. The dirty martini was fairly pungent and strong so not sure I would get it again but I'm also not big on dirty martinis so probably just the wrong choice on my part. But the food was the star of the show. We ate so many good dishes- starting with the rainbow platter. Loved the baba ghanoush and the roasted cauliflower - those were my favorite of the 7 dishes on the platter. We also ordered the labneh, hummus with chicken and lamb shawarma, and the kafta kebabs (rolled up in some sort of tortilla) which were all fantastic! If we come back (which we will) I would just order the baba ghanoush instead of the rainbow platter, all the other dishes we ordered, and maybe one additional plate. I felt like I didn't really need the Israeli salad (tomato and cucumber) or the pickled cauliflower and radish that came on the rainbow platter. The hummus was SO soft and fluffy. This was some of the best food we've had in Pittsburgh. After having lived in a Philly for 4 years, we know good mediterranean/lebanese food and I'd be surprised if you can find better in Pittsburgh. Service was also very good.

We got drinks and 4 mezze / small plates. I liked my kiss my anise cocktail. It's rye based and was peppery and lightly sweet. My husband's cocktail was slightly sweeter and smoky. We shared four plates. I thought the stuffed grape leaves were a little slimy, but otherwise delicious. The Pierogi peppers were the most interesting item for me. They were pierogi filling in a sweet pepper with crispy onion on top-kudos on that dish! Out other two plates were the seared ahi tuna which had a nice savory crust and the chicken souvlaki, which was pretty standard. Our server was friendly and pleasant. The space was beautiful. Would highly recommend coming here for cocktails and small plates, the pizza at other tables looked pretty tasty too!

It has such great theming. The big shark on the menu was fun and the shark fins on the menu dictate how strong a drink is on the menu. As someone who does not like strong drinks, this was so helpful. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. This place is pricy and they do add a 20% tip automatically to the bill. I ordered the 'Sandstorm' and my husband got the 'Skull and Bones'. They were both strong but my drink, with 1 shark bin, was very doable and I was able to finish it. Unfortunately, we completely missed the first page of the menu somehow, which is unfortunate, because I actually preferred the drinks on that page. Oh well, our loss. My husband also tried this seasonal apple dumpling dessert which he loved while I had the cucumber salad which definitely had a kick! It was yummy though. I would recommend for people to check out who are in the area.
