I went here for dinner with my friend at 6 p.m. before the DVE comedy fest and it was so much fun! We opted to sit at the bar even though we had a reservation. The bar has such a great view of the stage and it is not too loud so you can chat easily. Our bar manager, Hanna, was the best. She made great food recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. For cocktails, I ordered the Backstage Sally and Blue in Green. I loved the Backstage Sally although it is very citrusy so look out of you get heart burn easily. The fried green tomatoes are unbelievable. My friend had the hot chicken with shoestring fries and jalapeño cornbread. I had the veggie tacos. Seriously, everything was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend! read more

Con Alma is genuinely such a delight! This jazz club has been on my list for ages, and it did not disappoint at all. We made a reservation, which I recommend you do a few days prior as the inside was packed, and there was a small line (even for those with reservations). Seating only took a few minutes, and I suggest you snag a seat in the inside lounge. The seats all face towards the stage, and it is so much fun watching the jazz band perform. The low lighting also made for a classy atmosphere. The servers were very sweet and had a good sense of what was popular on the menu. Our waiter pointed out that the Nashville hot chicken ($25) was very spicy, and I do agree in case anyone reading this is spice intolerant! The food was delicious, though a bit pricey. I ended up sharing the chicken with my friend, and I think that splitting an entree between two was a good idea considering the large portions. My cocktail ($13) was also so good (and a bit strong!). I will note that there is a $20 cover added to your bill (per party, not per person), which I assume is for the cost of watching the show. However, this does not bother me since it is a small price to pay for a unique jazz performance! read more

Lovely lovely ambience!! I honestly didn't wanna leave. I came here in a Saturday night with a friend of mine. We walked in after enjoying a lovely play a few blocks down and we're able to be seated immediately! They have live music pretty much every night and this night didn't disappoint at all!! The food was really good but they ran out of several items I wanted to try. I guess I'll have to come back for it:). I didn't order any alcoholic drinks but they look amazing. Service was fast and very friendly. Just FYI they do charge $10/per person for live music which is a bit annoying but If it's shared with the artist, I suppose that's fair. Definitely coming back if I'm in town! read more

Con Alma is difficult to review. We went looking for an attractive dinner place, since much of the Penn Avenue restaurant scene has deteriorated. Our experience was very good, but due to the live jazz, not the food. The greeting and service were fine. We had good martinis, and the chicken schwarma (decent) and shrimp skewers (pretty good). The wine list was a disappointment, featuring a lot of unusual, creative foreign bottles, but lacking mainstream California choices. There were no American Chardonnays priced below about $100. The live music was an attraction, but the restaurant experience needs some work. read more

What an amazing evening! Con Alma has a great atmosphere, excellent staff, and the best music.

A local friend recommended that we come here for the jazz and the food. What a fun experience. Mara our waitress and Susie the hostess were great, and the jazz was a lot of fun (a quartet of older guys who played great). We had the Baba and Hummus and the Stonefruit Salad, along with a couple of drinks while listening to the jazz. Both were very good and the portions were very large. If you're looking for a fun place for dinner and music, this is your place. read more

Words fail me! Our "dine-around" group from our conference at the Westin Pittsburgh attended a performance and enjoyed dinner at this place. What a night! The attentive staff, the talented musicians and vocalist (who near the end of the show was sorta joined by the jazzy singers at our table) and the good natured other patrons who gave us grace as we made a scene entering, exiting and during our time there! Between the signature cocktails, a visionary wine list (especially the organic reds from Spain), and the bubbly that flowed compliments of the club and Pittsburgh's heroic DMO that hosted us, we had a ball. Leaving a star off because the jambalaya was a bit sticky and could have fed a family of four. But most of us ordered it and enjoyed what we could! read more

Com alma is my go-to dinner spot before seeing a show downtown. The changing menu never disappoints. I especially love their eggplant small plate. Top 5 best old fashion I've ever had.

We visited the first time on New Years Eve Eve, and were so very impressed. We were able to snag a reservation about a week ahead. Thank goodness, because we never would have gotten in without a reservation... it was packed. Dozens of people packed in to the bar area to listen and get a drink. Its beautifully decorated and adorned with low light, green velvet, and dark fixtures. There are limited tables, though we were told this location is larger than the original. The food here was unexpectedly AHH-MAZING. We got Wok Hei Mushrooms for appetizer, which were soft, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. For dinner we ordered the Crab & Shrimp Gumbo, Lentil & Peanut Curry, and the new-to-the-menu Lobster Fried Sticky Rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The lobster sticky rice stole the show easily, and could be one of the top 20 dishes I've ever eaten anywhere. So, so good. Our service was excellent. They were wildly busy, but our server took excellent care of us. We took our two (older) kids here and felt absolutely comfortable. We can't wait to go back! read more

Many times have walked past Con Alma but only recently decided to stop in. Sat outside with my friend and had appetizer of fried green tomatoes, and a shareable plate with jerk chicken and plantains with watermelon. Everything was amazing, and the jerk chicken flavors were well balanced between sweet, spicy, cool, and hot (between the mango and cream toppings that cane with it) . The watermelon also went well with the entree. The service was awesome, and the jazz music added a nice touch of chill and relaxation. No room for dessert but I'll be back. Five stars - don't miss it. read more

Brilliantly flavorful food, solid cocktails and wine, vibrant jazz, and attentive service. Absolutely love this jawn.

The cool vibe and nice staff are the good features. The items on the menu - unique. We had a watermelon salad that looked promising and was mediocre. Food was ok and here's where it could get to 2 stars. Overpriced and nothing to rave about. Shrimp wasn't cooked. They checked and said "it's safe" and then "I tried to talk to the manager but she's busy." The waiter did his best to accommodate. read more

We had a reservation for 730 on a Sunday, and got seated a bit late, which is usually fine. But as soon as we sat, the band said this is our last song! And the waitress said "what can I get you before the kitchen closes?" We felt rushed from the moment we got there. Not sure why you'd have reservations at this time if you want us to leave. The salmon appetizer and cocktails were good, slightly pricey. Also got charged 16 dollars for a mocktail..... The entrees we got- the coconut snapper and the ropa vieja were awful... There truly was no flavor. The fish was worse than a fish fry. Don't mind paying a fee for the music, as it was wonderful. Just wish we could've had more than 15 minutes of it.... read more

We came here for my friend's 22nd birthday dinner. Just entering the restaurant it had a great vibe for it with dim lighting and live jazz music. We ordered drinks and they were quite strong so good bang for your buck. None of us were quite crazy about the taste of them. I have never seen goat on a menu so I had to order the goat curry and it was delicious! I had leftovers to take home because it was so much food. The waitress came around and checked on us usually having to refill our very tiny water glasses. Overall, it was a good experience and I would like to come back here for a date night or just drinks. read more

Great jazz bar in downtown! They have a smaller location in Shadyside but this one is larger, yet it still feels intimate. That location has a vegan food menu and this one isn't vegan. This location is also open later. They have tables close to the stage for those who made reservations. You need to make one in advance. They also have a bar area for walk-ins. When we first came in, we had to awkwardly sit/stand off to the side but eventually a spot opened up at the bar. Their cocktails are one-of-a-kind with unique ingredients. Super fun to try them out! My first drink was Clover Club which had gin, raspberry and lemon. It was good and not too sweet. I also tried the Carrot Sangrita which came as a shot and the carrot mix off to the side. I thought that was unique, but also kind of odd haha. You take a sip of the tequila and then follow it with the drink. I eventually just poured the tequila in the drink mix to make my life easier. I forget the name of my final drink but it had celery in it and it was actually quite good and refreshing. Fun spot to check out! And the jazz is great. read more

Very cute restaurant to dine at! Great vibes, amazing music, good drinks/food, and good service! My dad and I dined here last night for dinner and enjoyed our experience very much. Drinks were good, but not that strong. We each ordered 2 drinks and thought they were tasty, but light. I enjoyed the east side very much. Not sweet and very refreshing! We ordered the watermelon guacamole, which was a unique and tasty appetizer. Had a nice little kick to it. The chips that it came with were amazing and salty! I ordered the carne asada and my dad ordered the pescado frito. Both dishes were delicious and extremely filling. We had to get take out boxes and had zero room for dessert. Highly recommend checking this place out! A very different and fun idea. If you dine during the music, it's $10 extra per person. Worth it! read more

Imagine you could step back in time and visit one of the great Jazz clubs of the 1930's. That's all here at Con Alma. The restaurant is designed with Jazz music in mind. I enjoyed the Con Alma in Shady Side, but I felt it was too small, and you were sitting almost on top of the musicians. The Con Alma Downtown is the right size and the energy of the Jazz here is wonderful. The food is remarkable and I'm digging the Latin theme. The Pastelon (Puerto Rican sweet plantain lasagna) is delicious: sweet, savory, and spicy. We also ordered the Watermelon Guacamole, which really works. The band was taking requests, but ended up playing my favorite without asking (Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life). This is music that originated in Pittsburgh and it's fantastic that it's being played here. Reservations are almost a necessity, however there's a nice lounge and bar area. The location is in the heart of the Cultural District, right across from Heinz Hall. read more

This a pretty great jazz restaurant/bar in downtown Pittsburgh. I went here with a friend on a Saturday night, and even though we didn't have a reservation we were still seated almost immediately. We even had a great spot of the stage to listen to the band playing that night. We got a handful of plates to share, all very delicious. It ranged from chips and guac, to ceviche, to empanadas. My only gripe is that some things on the menu were a little expensive, but the place was full of people and it was a great experience. The bar area they have is slightly separate from the dining area, and they have some additional sofas/chairs for people to lounge on. For a Saturday night it was a really positive vibe, so I would certainly recommend this place for a date night or a night out with a group. read more

Where to begin? I made reservations for two for my Wife's birthday specifically to see the live music. Cons: 1. We were seated off to the side directly against the large double doors in 35-degree weather. We were cold and could not see the live performance, so that was a complete bust. It was also so busy that there was no chance to get another seat. Word of warning: if you are making reservations for the music make sure you ask to be seated with a view of the band. 2. Our table was unstable. This is an upscale restaurant/jazz club, can you not fix the tables? 3. Their online menu is incorrect, don't bother looking at it ahead of time. We were set on certain dishes, but when we received the menu it was completely different. We had to change our orders, then we were informed that the menu that was given to us was from the day before and it was different tonight...so we had to change our order again. The owner announced that the menu changes often and signing up for the newsletter is the best way to stay up to date. No, my guy, I just want to look at the site, that should be updated or don't bother having one. 4. The food was monstrously salty (I have read other reviews and it seems to be a theme). There was a long hair in my first bite and I usually do not care about that kind of thing, but the night was already ruined and it just made it worse. 5. Service was meh it took about 10 minutes to get cocktails. It was busy, and our server seemed to be one of three, but still. In that case, management should step in and give a hand. 6. When I made reservations I was asked if there were any special requests. I asked for one rose to be set at our table and offered to pay extra. They ended up acknowledging it was a special occasion with a paper coaster that someone wrote "Happy birthday" on and taped a ribbon to it that was very clearly ripped off of a Christmas present (it still had remnants of paper on it) Pros: 1. Coctkails were good 2. The band was good (although we couldn't see them) 3. Cool atmosphere This was so disappointing. We were really looking forward to seeing some live jazz. We don't plan on returning unless it is strictly to sit at the bar and get a drink. read more

Con Alma - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Con Alma has made my best memory for my first time in Pittsburgh. Obviously there are many choices for bars and restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh, I'm glad I picked Con Alma. The live jazz, unique cocktails, delicious food, the space and the services are all five stars. I felt jazzy from the moment I walked in. The indoor space is connected with the outdoor, very summery yet full of artistry, different from elsewhere. Cocktails are excellent. I found a couple decent ones, backstage Sally and Carrot Sangrita. 5++ Their food has incorporated international twists with very nice presentation. Definitely the highlight for the night. Oh the jazz, of course the jazz, that's why I was there. Did I tell you that I stayed for the entire performance, made sure they were done before I took off. Last but not the least, people are always the key to bring everything together. I love my waitress. She is super helpful. A pleasant jazzy woman for sure! Highly recommended! read more

We walked in without a reservation so we knew we may have a challenge getting a seat. Luckily a couple was leaving the bar so we took their spots. The service team didn't really help us though we did it ourselves. This place has live jazz so the ambiance is similar to a trendy yet retro jazz club. Records on shelves, darker colors, lower lighting, etc. Upon sitting at the bar it took a bit for the bartender to address us. Then we ordered our cocktails, my partner received hers while I waited another 10 minutes for mine! I had the Angels Eyes and she had the scenes in the city. Both of us looked at each other and thought, there isn't much alcohol in these.... Well we were a little hungry again so we ordered 1 tuna tostados and plantanos to share. The tostados were okay, not bad but lacking a little flavor. The plantanos were VERY good and honestly, was the best thing by far. They were made soft with a thick glaze and full of flavor. When looking at the bill we were charged 20 dollars for the live music. This was never disclosed until I read it on the check...unreal. Service was poor, the drinks were weak, and the food was hit or miss.... Music was fun to watch and listen to. Overall I wouldn't return as it's just not worth the time or money. read more

Con Alma was a fun night out with great music. However, the night we went, there was also a Pirate game. Parking was 35.00. Then they charge 15.00 per person for a music fee. They add the music fee to your food bill. So when tipping you don't think to deduct that fee from the tip. Then they give you only 2 hours at your table if others are waiting to be seated. We had reservations at 6. Band started at 7 pm. We got to listen for one hour. For the four of us, we paid 60.00 music fee. That's a little crazy in my opinion. We only had salads for dinner. Close to 300.00 for 4 people and we only had a small salad. 6 drinks. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Josh, I am not sure to whom you are responding. But the behaviors you described were not at all those of mine or anyone at my table. You are attempting to bias my review by disparaging me using lies. I had been looking forward to dining at Con Almo while listening to good music. Only half of that was realized and it was not the food. No one at my table was rude to staff nor shushed anyone and your wait staff was more than adequately tipped, at much more than 20%. Your response says more about the kind of person you are than about me. read more

Highly recommend reservations. Apparently there was a 2 hour table limit which wasn't stated anywhere online that I could find. That really put a damper on the mood. We had a babysitter and got out for a few hours to celebrate our anniversary. The drinks and food are pricy and we spent a lot so to basically get asked to leave so someone else could have our table sucked The food was absolutely delicious. Our server was so friendly and attentive. The cocktails were really tasty too. The menu changes a lot so keep checking it out. The bar area looked really cozy so we'll be back for a drink! read more

My wife made surprise reservations at this Jazz & Dinner place downtown for my birthday. The place was absolutely packed so you will definitely need reservations. They really jam you into the space which is not so pleasant in a pandemic. The bands that played the early show were decent and the music volume was not so loud that you couldn't talk at all during dinner but we were sort of to the left and behind the stage a bit so maybe that helped. The drinks and food are good and the service was very good. The menu is Latin inspired and the dishes are served tapas style so you can order a few items that are smaller or larger main dishes. It's a unique place and we love that you can hear live jazz while enjoying a meal. read more

Con Alma is a fun and unique atmosphere! I finally got to dine there last week and the atmosphere was great. It's very moody/vibey with the jazz music and lighting. We made reservations and were sat right away, but they were extremely busy. I definitely recommend getting reservations. For food we ordered the Empanada, Plantain Lasagna, Salmon, and Baked Macaroni Pie. All of the food I tried was pretty good. My favorite dish was the baked macaroni pie. It was my first time having that and it was sooo good! The outer parts were a tad burnt but I just ate around it. My boyfriend got the salmon and said it was not good and super bland. I don't like salmon so I didn't even try it, but he gets salmon out a lot. The empanadas were good as well. For drinks, we got a Dirty Martini, red wine, and The Fatha cocktail. My martini was good and my boyfriend liked his wine! My sister got the Fatha cocktail and she didn't really enjoy it. She said it was like room temp instead of cold and it kind of threw off the whole drink. Their dinner menu is on the small side. It's the type of place you just get some drinks with your significant other or a friend and a dish to share! We had a really fun time listening to the live music as well. read more

We came here with a large group so that is a big part of the rating. We had a 10+ group with a reservation for 9pm. This place was pretty crowded when we arrived and we had a small wait. We got sat in the back behind where you can see the band. 3 people From my group did not have a proper seat which was not great, especially since the person we were celebrating was eating on a corner of a table with barely any space to eat her meal. I don't think restaurants should take reservations they cannot accommodate. The music was fun and it was nice to be able to hear the music while still being able to talk to people. It does get very loud in here though. Note there is a $10 cover charge for the music per person. I do think this is a much better place to go with a small group vs. a huge one so you can really enjoy the music. The drinks were not consistent here. I had a really really spicy carrot sangrita and one of our friends did not. Same situation for the east side drink as well. I was not a huge fan of the food either, though my group did mostly enjoy their food. I had the chicken tikka masala which was fine, but I'm not sure why they gave naan pieces when the sauce was not very saucy. Just note that this is not a traditional tikka masala though. It wasn't very flavorful in my opinion. The arroz con pollo had absolutely no flavor and my friend should have sent it back but we were already eating at like 10pm. I would definitely come back here another time with a smaller group to reassess but it was chaotic with a large group and I'd try other things on the menu since it changes frequently. read more

Had such a fun, sophisticated night out in downtown Pittsburgh enjoying food, cocktails, & great conversation. After dinner we hit Con Alma's downtown location. This is one of my favorite cocktail lounges in Pittsburgh aesthetically. Plus, the cocktails & service are great & you get to enjoy some live music. This is the perfect cocktail bar for a night out with friends or a sexy date night. I've had their food in the past as well & it was unique & delicious. DRINKS The Fatha 2: gin, early grey, vanilla, lemon, lavender oil, aquafaba, bee pollen - super rich & delicious. A sipper for me. Taste of Honey: rum with miletti amaro, NOLA coffee liqueur, espresso, oat milk, & honey served in a cute little nick & nora glass. Another "yum" dessert cocktail. Went down very easily. Green in Blue: mango mate infused scotch, lemon & honey syrup - we joked that this one "somehow tasted green & blue". I'm not a scotch girl, but tasted this & it was good. A very drinkable scotch cocktail. read more

Con Alma - Live Jazz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A super freakin' solid 4 stars for Con Alma's downtown location. This'll be only for the food as our party of four got wine and not cocktails. The menu online is slightly different from the one we saw in person, FYI. Also, there was live music (as there seems to be most nights) and it was very busy so service wasn't as efficient as somewhere else, but it was still incredibly attentive and both of our servers were absolutely lovely. Our party of 4 was here tonight celebrating my Fiancee's Master's diploma from CMU. We started with the sliders, Empanada and plantains (which are a different dish than what's listed on the website). The latter drew high praise and the empanada was really good as well; if multiple people want that though, get one each. The Sliders were tasty and also very nice but were comparatively the weaker of the three. They were very good, just a step down from otherwise incredible food. Mains: Our party of 4 got the shrimp enchilado (wonderfully explained to us as 'not an enchilada, just so you know') Cubano sandwich, Ropa vieja and Arroz Con Pollo. That latter one was mine and while very tasty overall with good flavors from every component, it was a smidge salty and needed a couple passes of pepper or something. I can see someone not liking it because of the salty notes. The Cubano got high praise as did the Ropa Vieja. The shrimp dish was also very tasty. Enjoyed it! read more

We had a good first experience at Con Alma! We arrived at 5:30ish on a Thursday for the Norside Organ Trio. I read online that there was a $10 cover for music - what a deal for incredible local artists! The hostess was not a great first impression of the place. She welcomed us and I said we had 5. She asked if we had a reservation and I said no. She then asked if we wanted to eat dinner and I started to say just snacks and she cut me off and pointed to the bar seating. She said the lounge seating was all they had available. That was literally perfect for us. I thought the lounge seating had to be reserved, so we were glad when we were seated there. I read online that you can't make a reservation for just cocktails, so I guess the first come first serve area is the only option if you don't want dinner. Our waitress (Olivia - I think?) was SO sweet and nice. We loved her. All of our cocktails were great and we really enjoyed the music. We wanted to order an appetizer, but all of the options are not great for eating on lounge seating. We were hoping for a charcuterie board or something easy for sharing. We decided to order 2 of the wok hei mushroom dishes and 2 of the octopus dishes. The mushrooms were great - super savory and flavorful. The dish was $28 and had Fun gal farms mushroom mix |sweet pea tops |bean sprouts |truffle soy |shaved black alba truffles |fried chile. If they would have been over rice it could have easily been a meal. I was so excited for the octopus since it sounded so unique! Unfortunately the dish was way too spicy for us to eat. It was over curried chickpeas that reminded me of when I order chana masala at an Indian restaurant. I would say the spice level would be equivalent to an 8 at an Indian restaurant. We ate the small pieces of octopus and were left disappointed since we couldn't eat the rest of the $25ish dollar dish. The super hot indian flavors with octopus just didn't go together (in my opinion) and then paired with the asian flavors from the mushrooms was odd. I would absolutely go back for music and cocktails, but I don't think I'd order any of the other food next time. read more

Jazz and great drinks. Jazz and great food. Jazz and great service! This Illy Philly had tix to A Midnight Sommers Dream in Harlem and I wanted to have dinner before since I had about two hours to waste. I've always wanted to go to Con Alma Downtown and since the theatre was next door I headed over. I'm so happy that I did because the experience was PHENOMENAL!!!! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was told there weren't any tables available, but I could sit at the bar. The hostess was so kind because she had a table with a reservation in about an hour and she offered it, but I sat at the bar. To say the Bartenders were busy is an understatement, but they greeted me immediately, and even though it took them a while to get to me I understood as the restaurant was crowded and they were making drinks. They were a well-oiled machine let me tell you! To watch them mix drinks and work with each other was artistry and I wanted to try every drink I saw them make! Hannah finally approached me, with a smile, and we talked about drinks, and I ordered The Awakening which is their version of an Espresso Martini with Centenario Anejo Tequila, Meletti Amaro, cold brew coconut cream, Orange bitters, St. George Nola Coffee Liqueur, and coconut whip. If you know me you know I love anything coconut and it was pleasantly good. For dinner, I ordered Fish & Grits which was every bit of heaven in my mouth. It was made with Fried Mediterranean Brook Trout, Pimento cheese grits, fried Brussels, and spicy maple syrup. I contemplated ordering another one to take home...smh....delicousness! While I basked in the beautiful live jazz music and great food I met some great people at the bar and enjoyed watching the mixologist, Jake, do his magic. I have to point out that both Jake and Hannah were so nice, so accommodating, and so professional that it made my experience that much more enjoyable. The hostess also walked over to check on me about an hour later and I thought that was so nice! All in all a great experience and I think I'm going to make this my weekly, Friday night, happy hour spot. read more
