    We had a nice time at Space Bar. The bar is super cool and has a fun atmosphere. The servers were great and stayed in the "outer space" persona. We got the Final Frontier Old Fashioned and the Kiwi Nova. Both were very good and had delicious flavor profiles. The main reason I gave it 4-stars was I think it was a one and done for us. Though the place was nice and the drinks were good, we weren't feeling the need to go back again. We did the gimmick and felt like we were good to go.

    Absolutely love Space Bar!!! Shaye, it was nice to meet you. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of space bar tonight. Live long and prosper.

    We I finally made it here after trying to go for a while and just letting time get away from us. We made reservations for two and went on a Friday night. When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

    This place was cool, but it was way smaller and more tame than I expected. with how much it's hyped up I was expecting more. The drinks were good and they were cool, but I didn't think the flavor profile for the one I had really matched the super detailed description. I had the rainbow road, and it definitely just gave chocolate no other flavors pulled through. (And Im not an Emile Im a Remy, I taste everything). I really loved that they put a lot of thought into crafting the cocktails, but i felt very let down by the one I got. We also got sat in a really awkward spot of the bar, which made it hard to really enjoy the experience (we got sat at tiny 3 seat near the door) Other than that the service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. I just...if Im in the mood to try something cool and crazy, I want it to be hype, not super chill, low music, tiny space, i would have went on a weekday instead. It's definitely an experience and I would recommend going, just expect more of a relaxed environment and a smaller space

    I am not what you would call a bar person. I haven't really been into the bar scene since just after I turned 21, which was over 20 years ago. However, I have been to this spot several times now since discovering them at a recent mocktail event. There I learned that they not only have a whole bunch of fun, space themed cocktails with special effects like dry ice, they have a dedicated nonalcoholic menu as well with a bunch of NA options. I stopped drinking alcohol earlier this year due to a brain injury and the inclusivity of this brings me so much joy. The space is a really cool lounge vibe. Groups of people from across the age spectrum seem to come here. There are lounge tables that can seat several people, high tops that seat two and a bar. The staff, from host to servers to the owner who is hands-on and frequently stop by to chat, are all so incredibly nice and welcoming. I have yet to have a drink that disappointed me. From the NA menu, the Tartooine Sour is the star but you can't go wrong.

    Popped in here on a Sunday evening before dinner. It has a cute interior setup. I went with their twist of an espresso martini.. the rum in it made all the difference, along with the other ingredients. Staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Super eclectic place. Loved the vibe and our server was fantastic. The drinks are also out of this world

    Service was meh. This was our first time here...and visiting Pittsburgh. The server could have explained more about the different drinks or gave a recommendation. She was more concerned about just starting a tab. Did the decor was very nice and the drinks were good.

    If you're looking for something fun and totally different in Pittsburgh, you have to check out Space Bar. Such a unique spot. The whole space-themed concept makes it feel like an experience, not just a night out. The vibes are fun, a little quirky, and perfect if you want something outside the usual bar scene. The drinks are delicious, creative, and honestly just as cool to look at as they are to drink. Definitely one of those places I'd go back to again. If you're in Pittsburgh and want something memorable, this is it.

    Five of us got tickets to Space Bar's Valentine's Day cocktail experience! The three drinks are meant to mimic a meal but with cocktails! They were all delicious and I appreciate the advanced cocktail techniques used.

    I was looking for a unique bar and I found it! This place was super fun. It was pretty empty but it was a Wednesday so that's to be expected. They had a lot of interesting drinks. I got the 'Kiwi Nova' and my husband got the 'Darth Vapor'. It smoked and it was really cool. He really enjoyed that drink and I really enjoyed mine. They had a decent amount of seating, we sat at a hightop. All the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend for a good time.

    It wouldn't be winter without a trip to my favorite out of this world bar. This year's seasonal pop-up theme "Snowglobe" changed the bar into a winter wonderland. The bartenders are masterfully skilled in the art of gastronomy. My wife and I tried their two seasonal drinks, the Spiced Pearseus and Nebula Noir. Highly recommend both!!! Nebula provided earthiness with the smooth finish of the Angel's Envy (a terrific bourbon in itself). The Pearseus had a wonderful natural pear flavor with the bright citrus complemented by the sweet orange, black tea and vanilla foam topper. I may miss their amazing New Years celebration, but every time I'm there, Space Bar always transports me in time and space.

    As a recently retired Chemistry teacher I highly recommend Space Bar for evening (or midday) libations! We walked into a new world. It wasn't crowded for a Friday after work. Service was great. The staff really understood the science behind their brand and I'm all for that! The saddest part was having to leave for food. Their drinks were delicious & unique. We plan to return with friends! Of course I have pics to support my review.

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!

    This appears to be a duplicate for the business but, I'll bite and write another review here…read more Spencer & his team do it again and again every year. This Halloween pop-up bar is hands down one of the best in the country. Themed, creepy, spooky, & ghoulish craft cocktails beyond your wildest imagination. Always spot on. Always delicious. And as always, a portion of sales are donated locally. Serving cocktails & the community. Bar staff and mixologists are some of the best in the business. Service is always stellar. Always. A lot of the drinks come in super fun themed cups & glasses. Don't be a D & steal them. This is a small business giving back.

    I have an end of October birthday so I'm a sucker for all things Halloween…read more This place is so much fun. Every square inch is covered theme Halloween/spooky decor. Thankfully nothing is overly gory or too creepy. To avoid a line, it is best to go right at opening or about an hour before it closes. There is a list of fun themed drinks served in quirky glasses that match the theme of the drink (a mummy, for example). I visited three times and tried a different drink each time. One thing is that they can (and often do) search your bag to make sure you don't steal the glassware. Sad that they need to so that, but I guess I understand why they need to check. If you are looking for a quirky, fun experience while downtown, definitely check it out.

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.
