    Bar area

    We had a great experience at LeMardi Gras. The cocktails were delicious and well priced, about $8 each. The bar tenders were so nice and gave us free shots for my friend's birthday. There is a classic jukebox there, nice booth areas for sitting, and the Steelers game was on their 3 TVs. It is a smoking bar, but it is super well ventilated. If you want, you can buy cigars at the bar. It is cash only, but they have an ATM. Since it's right off of Walnut in Shadyside, there was lots of free street parking, garages close by, and paid parking.

    Vintage, old school, speak easy vibe dive bar. Great music, good customer service (bartenders were friendly and fast), and great drinks. Dark and comfortable ambiance. Smokey but fun. Expresso martini was delicious.

    Honey bourbon on the rocks

    There is nothing quite like a Le Mardi Gras honey bourbon on the rocks to put you in a good mood. Stiff, delicious, and only somewhere between $6 and $9 depending on who is bartending and how much they like you. Walking into this tucked away dive bar of a bygone era, the dark smoky atmosphere and antique cash register will transport you back to 1954, the year they became a "hysterical landmark," while the jukebox plays the best rock, soul, and funk music from the 1960s and 70s (still 3 plays for $1). This remaining relic of blue collar Pittsburgh in Shadyside is the best bar in the city.

    The decor is reminiscent of the 60's-70's, as is the jukebox, and a lot of the clientele.

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

I don't drink alcohol, so I just got a mocktail. I can't quite recall what it was called, but I thought it was awesome. It was sparkling and had a nice fruity and herbal flavor to it. Really good mocktail. My buddy got a cocktail and said it was quite good as well. The service is nice, the views are pretty cool if you're sitting by the windows, and the overall vibe of the place is super cool. I would definitely recommend this spot, and would like to come back for small plates or pastries and coffee in the morning!
