    The Prickly Bootlegger- Tequila, Orange Juice, Prickly Pear Syrup, Muddled Pear
    Margo A.

    It's very cool that The Omni was able to restore an original speakeasy; however, the cocktails are average at best. This is a spot best for those looking for a specific vibe, but not so much a spot for a true cocktail enthusiast. The Prickly Bootlegger was very heavy on the orange juice, and the pear flavors did not come through very much. The Sazerac was very bourbon-heavy, and the flavor of the absinthe was not present at all. We probably would only return if we wanted to show it to someone from out of town.

    It's a really beautiful speakeasy but pricey and dark. Other than that, it's super classy and nice. Really had a wonderful time here and thought this place was a lot of fun

    We stopped by on Saturday night around 10pm and waited about 15 minutes for a table for the three of us. The inside of the speakeasy is intimate and also really really dark so you'll need the table lamps to read your menu. We got a round of cocktails and our drinks were decent. We wanted to get a snack but the charcuterie boards were sold out and the not homemade kettle chips were $10 so we closed our tab and left. I love the vibe but the drinks were just okay. I would go back if someone else wanted to or if there were no options available in the area.

    Our only disappointment with Speakeasy is that it isn't open on Sunday evenings. Excellent creative cocktails that don't cost a fortune in an environment designed for quiet conversation, relaxation and sipping.

    Cool atmosphere! Tucked away in the basement and roped off. Would definitely visit again.

    Drinks and service was amazing!!!! Best drinks on the strip, hands down. Samera made me a drink with elderberries. She is good at what she does

    Dear Yelpers Looking for prohibition vibes and upper class feels? Well, this is definitely your place. From the dim mood lighting to the suede decor, this place has all the roaring 20's nostalgia you could be looking for. But, with the nostalgia comes a price. Drinks here are $12 and up for even the most simple cocktails. And the high end stuff gets somewhat obnoxious. A "smoked" old fashioned was $20 with the basic bourbon. I'm not one to complain about prices, but seemed a little excessive. Especially when the waiter made it seem like it was the same price as a regular old fashioned. Cool spot to explore, but wouldn't advise planning your whole night there. Just a wee bit boring Your friendly neighborhood foodie

    Sidecar with rock candy.
    Lynn E.

    Super secret Speakeasy. Small, dark and chill. I got a Sidecar with a rock candy garnish. It was yummy. Out of a few beers, so if you want that. Forget about it. My friend got a Mule and she thought it was perfect. It's a little louder than I expected because it was well packed for a random Tuesday night.

    Easily one of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh and Dawn, the bartender, is amazing! The Speakeasy at the Omni William Penn is perfect for groups and special occasions and I've never had a subpar experience here. From the service, to the quality of the drinks and the ambiance, and even down to the sweet/salty bar snacks, everything has always been nothing but perfect. This is one of the few bars in the city that really offers the "speakeasy vibe" that I'm usually looking for in a bar, as well as the caliber of classic cocktails (Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, Vieux Carres, etc.) * Parking: Street parking downtown can be a little tricky unless you come late at night; hotel valet is always an option though. * Pro Tip: The Speakeasy doesn't offer reservations, so having to wait on a crowded night is a possibility, but thankfully I've been lucky (and usually come late night) and have never had to wait.

    While the ambiance tries hard to be chill, the drinks don't match. Only lasted for one round as wasn't really worth the price.

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.

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

Fantastic vibe in there as well, cool lighting (although something from up above kept falling). It's a highly acclaimed place for a reason. I got to try their beet soup (borscht), tea, potato pancake, and rice pudding dessert. The menu changes decently consistently I believe, and I did visit a little while ago, for notice. The food was very tasty. Huge potato pancake that was cooked perfectly with a nice topping of what I can only describe as vegan sour cream and some sort of very flavorful vegetables. I quite liked it, surprisingly tasty and creamy topping. Now the borscht, which I tend to be picky with, was just okay. The number one detractor for the borscht was the salt level. The food is just far, far too salty (the pancake was pretty salty too). Other than that, quite good. Love the side of rye. The dessert was very good. Surprisingly light. Came with a little caramelized baked fruit on top (apple/pear, something like that). Rice was reasonably creamy and very flavorful. So good! All in all, a nice spot for a nice dinner. Especially great for vegans. However, the food did taste too salty for my liking.

It is a very open space and there is even window to the street that lets in air and light. There are a ton of unique drink options and a small list of bites to go with them. I love that they have a "bartenders choice" option where you tell the bartender what your likes, dislikes and tastes are and they create something for you. I will definitely need to try that on a future visit. This time, I tried the cool handed cuke because I am a sucker for anything cucumber. It was flavorful and a perfect spring/summer drink. It didn't taste overly strong which craft cocktails sometimes can. I sat at the bar and service was attentive but not over the top. They knew I came alone but weren't weird about it (you'd be surprised how many places think it is the strangest thing that you would drink or dine somewhere alone). I'd love to come back here with some girlfriends or even as a date night with my husband.
