I love the concept of Space Bar and the drinks are all really unique and delicious. The NA drink I had was good too - I loved the pineapple foam. I would say that the drinks are excellent and the service was great, but the ambiance needs some work. I think the concept is there, but it could be a bit nicer considering how expensive the drinks. I would recommend different furniture, a better layout, dimmer lighting and some mood music! read more

Go sit down and have a drink. Incredible environment, relaxing energy, sitting down and having a drink after a long day. The owners are incredible and beyond passionate about their business. Worth a visit read more

For all the mixology snobs out there out there, don't make the mistake of overlooking this place as a photo-op experience. Yes, the drinks LOOK amazing, but they also TASTE amazing. The Space Bar fantastically offers some quality molecular mixology. As of now the food options are relatively limited, but staff told us there are plans to expand the menu soon. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Perhaps some freeze-dried options for our fellow astronauts? read more

Space Bar - The Fifth Ele-mint - Lounges Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Went to this place on a whim before a Broadway show. The aesthetic of this place is so cool. I was talking to the owner and she had a story for all of the tables and the bar at this place. It's so cute. They have happy hour from 4-6pm. The owner is so sweet and kind. We will totally be back. read more

The drinks here are absolutely superb and magical. I'm from New York City where there are so many cocktail bars that do eccentric things with their drinks like this place. Unfortunately Pittsburgh doesn't have as many Bars like this. So I was so excited to try this place out when it opened. I've been twice already and ended up getting the same two drinks both times lol. I can't remember their names but the one with passionfruit in it is definitely my favorite. The yellow foam on top is so interesting and has such a unique flavor. The drink that comes in a bowl with dry ice at the bottom and has a minty flavor was also so good. I'm just mad at how small the quantity of drink is, you think you're getting a nice sized cocktail and it turns out the bottom is just liquid nitrogen or whatever and you're only drinking the top part lol. Service has been lovely both times around. I randomly went on a Tuesday night and there was standup comedy that was pretty great! I wish I lived closer to downtown because I would come even more often. I hear they're going to have a new cocktail menu March 20 so be sure to come in before then and then come in again after March 20! read more

Such a fun bad idea with yummy drinks! Not a place I would be able to go to regularly but a nice fun treat for a night out with friends or people visiting they city. Service was great! We ordered some drinks at the bar and they were delivered to our table when ready. Everything was good, a great place if you like interesting cocktails. read more

I was really excited to check out space bar based off what I had seen online. While the space was cool & the cocktails were interesting, I was a little bit let down. You could tell it was a space themed bar, but I was expecting a little more immersive of an experience. Maybe the fact that it was open air right on market square took you "out" of the ambiance a little bit? Since it was a nice day, we did decide to sit outside & the couches were very comfortable, but it felt like a regular bar vs a big themed one. I enjoyed my cocktail (spice of arrakis), but I think the ambiance is really not as top tier as advertised & I was expecting more. I think if I hadn't had such high expectations, I would have thought the ambiance was cooler. The bartenders also had a little bit of an "over it" attitude, which contributed to us choosing to sit outside vs at the bar. Food: N/A Drinks: B+ Service: B Ambiance: C+ read more

Fun little bar that was in Market Square. We came here after dinner on Saturday night. The place isn't open that late (11 pm) but it was perfect for us because we were just looking for a quick nightcap. The bar ambiance is quiet and smooth, lots of space themed decorations and animations on the wall. Bartenders are very nice and we received our drinks promptly. The drinks themselves were very well-made and smooth. Definitely a nice spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

I am not really a bar kind of person. I despise liquor. It tastes like NyQuil. However, I will sometimes try different drinks anyway to see if anything is good. My sister took me here while she was in town because she liked it. For drinks, I got the Fifth Ele-mint and Milky Way Punch. Neither had the nasty NyQuil taste of liquor, and the Fifth Ele-mint was actually flavorful. I would probably get the Fifth Ele-mint again. It didn't taste minty but kind of citrusy. I got the soba noodles and liked those too. Reminded me a bit of linguini salad but with feta cheese. The restaurant itself is pretty nice but small. We went when they opened so seating was easily available. I like modern and futuristic designs so I felt comfortable here. read more

I'm not one to willfully go downtown, but space bar got me there. It was worth it! As an Uber and paid-parking hater, space bar didn't seem like an option for me. But, on my friends' queer anniversary, we had to make the trip. Space bar made a special wall light scroll for my friends' anniversary and made their entire night. The cocktails are interesting and perfect. The bar itself is accommodating and accepting of all kinds of folks. As a scientist, I can't wait for them to host more casual nights for nerds. I love meeting other nerds without pressure, which is hard to find in this city. We don't need a speaker, we just need a venue and a deal. Space bar absolutely has the potential to offer this! read more

The servers and owner were all very kind and welcoming!! The space ambiance was very well done and elevated everything! Seems like a great place to take a date or to catch up with a friend, I'll be back! read more

This is one of my favorite newer bars in the downtown area! I've been here a couple times now and the drinks are fun and delicious! The vibe at the place is also super fun. Some of the drinks come in fun glasses, but all are well crafted. Last time we were there, we hung out with Randy from Randyland, too, so that was a fun bonus. read more

Finally made it to Space Bar and loved the vibe. As you probably know, they are a space themed cocktail bar located in Market Square. Their cocktail list is pretty big and they had a ton of drinks that looked super cool. We ordered The Fifth Ele-mint, Espresso Mars-tini, and Vanilla Ice cream. My friend and I both got the Espresso Mars-tini and we both really liked it!! It had flavors of orange, vanilla, and coconut. So good. My sister got the cool Fifth Ele-mint cocktail with the dry ice; it was super delicious as well. My boyfriend got ice cream and he said it was really good. read more

What a hidden gem in Downtown Pittsburg! I stopped by after watching a pitiful baseball game, and it was the perfect remedy for low spirits. The staff provided excellent service, and we happened to come in when there was karaoke. The karaoke was so much fun without being too pretentious. The drinks were tasty, and I loved the various options with tropical fruit flavors. Some of the patrons were dressed up with the space theme, too. If you're looking for a fun alternate world to step into, Space Bar is a great choice! read more

Very chill place. Drinks were pretty good. Servicer was nice and quick with our drinks. read more

This is such a cool bar downtown in Market Square! They create some really creative cocktails here and they release new drinks pretty consistently. I love how much care and attention they give to the ingredients in their cocktails. They sous vide and fat wash some ingredients which is really cool. Love the ambiance here since it's all space themed so it's really fun and the staff are all super nice too! They call their bar the lab and have a lot of pride in what they do! Definitely recommend checking this bar out. I loved the dessert cocktail, dark side of the moon, since it was essentially an affogato with bourbon and dulce de leche ice cream. So good! I really liked my drink, the fifth ele-mint, with a ton of dry ice, it was so refreshing! Pink planet, a tequila cocktail, was so good and the spice was spot on. Love that they have a boba machine too since they have a boba fruit cocktail. read more

Every time I walk into Space Bar, it's a feast for the eyes. The owners have decorated this place with so much detail that you can find something new depending on where you're sitting. And speaking of sitting, definitely the most comfy chairs of any establishment in the area. The drink options were a lot of fun and beyond delicious. With new creations every month, going in for a drink is always an easy YES whenever I'm in the area. read more

solid choice for a cocktail bar! Love the curated space-themed drinks. The "starship" comes served with dry ice which is a fun experience.

Excellent ambiance! Such a cool place. Bartenders were awesome too. Talked when you wanted them to but left you alone with your friends. The drinks were amazing! Wish I could have tried them all. I'll have to definitely go here again when I'm back in Pittsburgh. read more

I'm not a cocktail person, but I had the regular sour on the menu. It was nicely smooth with a coconut taste which made it worth it. Pricey, but that's the idea for the experience read more

Fantastic bar staff, wonderful host, great, fun cocktails. I highly recommend. We're visiting Pittsburgh from out of town & this is stop two - it's great! read more

Theme was 10/10, so many cool decorations and cute little details in the signs, menu, and the way the wait staff talked with you, even their uniforms and stuff! The cocktail I had was also reallly good! Huge depth of flavor and very complex, you could taste every ingredient, and they honor them with presentation as well! A very friendly environment & staff and they have different events each week like a karaoke and trivia, also a lot of NA options for non drinkers or even kids, and my favorite part were that all the chairs were soft, even at the bar, cool space! read more

I went up to Pittsburgh from Virginia last weekend and this was one of the bars I was very excited to visit. However, the owner made me so uncomfortable that I don't think I can recommend this establishment to other people. Liz kept hovering over us and even placed her hands on me by touching my shoulder or patting my back. Personally, that kind of interaction was not welcome by me as I value my personal space, especially when I was to be enjoying my time with the people I was with and not her. The drinks were good, but I would not return due to this interaction. read more

Vibes here did not match the cool bar assumptions I made on the places name and drink menu. The door lady was the best part of the bar, I missed her the second I went into the bar. The bartenders service wasn't terrible, it just wasn't that great. read more

Creatively mixed drinks, friendly and fun staff, all in all a great time. Why isn't there a space bar in DC?

We were in town from LA for a couple nights and were looking for a fun bar in downtown pgh. This spot had cool ambiance and excellent service, but we were really blown away by the inventive cocktail menu. The wife had the Yoda's Tea, which was a rich blend of vodka and vanilla served with a matcha mousse, and I enjoyed the Skywatcher with the strawberry popping boba and yogurt soju. Definitely worth the trip! read more

They tried to kick me out for having a service animal. I have melting bone disease and I need my service animal for mobility purposes. The owners tried saying if the kitchen was open I wouldn't be allowed in here. This place should be looked in to because the owners don't seem like they discriminate towards people with disabilities. If you have a disabilities you probably shouldn't go here because you won't feel welcomed...instead the owners will make you feel like less of a person because of your disability. read more

These cocktails are unreal. They're cute and keep in step with the theme but do not lose any of the taste. Absolutely delicious! read more
