It's weird to review a place I haven't visited in person. But Space Bar took some of their staff to…read morethe 2026 World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim, and hosted a party in the convention hotel (on August 28). The staff they had at the convention were all super-cool people. They served great drinks. I haven't seen their drink menu, so I just said a few words about what I like, and they mixed up good stuff -- at reduced alcohol per my request. Perfect! Best of all, they had the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal as their special guest. (But she lives in North Carolina, so don't expect her as a regular in the Pittsburgh location.) Space Bar is obviously LGBT+ friendly, but it's an everyone bar. OK, maybe not everyone: it will be more fun if you're interested in science fiction and fantasy, and don't upset the vibe. I'll be sure to visit the in-person location next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

Loved this bar--the space-themed atmosphere, great energy, and kind staff. Funny enough, while we…read morewere getting coffee earlier that morning, one of the bartenders invited us to stop by later, not knowing it was already on our post-dinner itinerary. The cocktails were creative, playful, and impressively strong without sacrificing quality. I had the Seoular Flare, which had a noticeable kick but was still very drinkable. It came with BBQ chips, and when our bartender--the same guy from that morning--noticed how much I loved them, he brought me extra. Such a thoughtful touch. The rest of our drinks were equally inventive and well-crafted. I admittedly had some doubts about whether the creativity would translate into cocktails that actually tasted good, but they completely proved me wrong. A fun concept backed by genuinely great drinks and hospitality.

We last minute decided to check this spot out because the weather was perfect and I am so glad we did The drinks were great.

The Hype is not deserved here…read more Let's begin with parking: one poor valet trying to keep up. Turned away as no more space. The area is a traffic disaster. Rooftop bar? Most seating and is interior and without view. You can peer over the sides or stand outside, no reservations, and packed. Drinks are average. Not high end cocktails, rather, locally distilled brew with too much mixer. Food is bar food. Meh at best. Service appears to want to be anywhere else but here. Inattentive and slow. It's screaming loud, the crowd appears to have migrated from Donzis (iykyk). If you have been to other urban roof top bars and are hoping this is Pittsburgh's equivalent, sadly, it misses the mark.

The sushi was soooo delicious and it's nice to be able to get good food late at night and not have fried food as your only option. .

These are typically not drinks I would go for but WOW incredibly delicious. Definitely a fun spot to branch out and try something new. We will definitely be back to try some of their food, but highly recommend for some good cocktails

We came here to "kill" some time before meeting for dinner. This is a great cocktail bar!…read more I am a bourbon guy, but my wife is not a bourbon fan. We came here during Happy Hour and I got an Old Fashioned; my wife got a different cocktail. My wife prefers either tequila or vodka. The service here is next level; bartenders who know how to make a drink and they know how to give the right level of attention. The environment is, also, next level. The bathrooms are superior and the environment is fantastic. Stop by fora cocktail or a meal; you wont regret it.

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.

In addition to indoor seating on the first and second floor, they also have a fenced in patio outside for sitting. As we sat outside, we saw groups of people who could not figure out how to get into the speakeasy. Another thing that happened was that they closed early the night that I went because of the lack of customers. A group was trying to come in as we were leaving but we told them they were closing for the night. So be aware of that, if you're planning to go late night (past 11 pm). However, the drinks were amazing as always! They now added a couple of small bites so we tried the cucumbers. They were delicious and packed with flavor! Our drinks were great as always. They have even more options than the last time I was there which was nice! I still really enjoy this little space!

They wanted to join our table with two other others to accommodate a larger party. I was a bit annoyed, but we complied. Soon the manager came over and apologized profusely then said that because they had to move us on a special day, he would comp our meal. That is a good manager. Even had he not done that, I would have praised the restaurant and the meal. Service was excellent, I got an old school drink, which was made perfectly, and our steaks were fantastic. We were happy not to be upstairs where it sounded extremely lively. We are old, and a booth, near the bar was exactly what proved to be the best place for us. If we go back to Pittsburgh, we will eat here again.

She was…read morevery knowledgeable about the menu and helpful (when the other server forgot to bring a spoon with the French onion soup, I went to the bar and she gave me one right away). The French onion soup was a banger. Very savory and salty, nice layer of cheese on top, and plenty of cooked onions. They hit and did not miss. The entrée was good - gnocchi with sliced chicken atop a sort of corn elote / chowder / cojito confection. The gnocchi were stuffed with asiago, but I tasted more corn flavor than any asiago. I'd say, for the price of the food (and wasn't cheap), it wasn't out of this world flavor-wise. But the vibes were cool and the cocktails looked interesting. I'd cone here again to try another dish.

They currently have some cocktail slushies on the menu for summertime. We got the painkiller - it's really good! Great for a warm day. They have a promo that they posted on IG but it's slightly misleading. It makes it seem like the first round ($12) will get you the cup in addition to your first round and you can get $5 refills thereafter. On the check though, there's a charge for the cup and each charge is also inflated ($5.20 for a refill, and $12 + some change for the first drink - I forget the cents, maybe $12.48). Not sure why they don't just keep the charges flat to match what they posted online. Good drink though!
