    Best speakeasy in the burgh, hands down! Especially if you're a bibliophile like myself. Enter through the bookcase and prepare yourself for a fabulous night. The vibes are excellent, the cocktails are tasty and potent, the glassware is beautiful, and the service is impeccable. Check out the upstairs room for a cozy date spot!

    Currently in soft opening mode, but it's beautiful inside, and drinks were amazing can't wait to see where this place goes! Pro tip - it's inside of Ineffable Cà Phê

    Thank you Cynthia for being a great host! It was a slow night but Cynthia, the bartender, made a drink for me before closing (I got in late. This bar is a very classical speakeasy with a bookshelf as the door. The inside space is pretty cozy with cool decor. Definitely gives you a hidden vibe. The drink I tried was the Purple Rain, a very light gin based drink with brilliant coloring. It's definitely more on the light and refreshing side. Overall a great bar to visit!

    Unspeakable just release their five new winter cocktails last week so I had to try them all over the span of two visits. They're all incredible but the Strange Lands with the house roasted sunflower orgeat is so unique and my favorite. As always, the ambiance is so cozy and charming. Word is starting to get out about this spot so it was a little busy the last time I went but any wait is worth it!

    This is such a beautiful speakeasy right in Pittsburgh. It's located inside of Ineffable Ca Phe. The bartender was extremely kind and friendly. She gave us a menu but said that if nothing jumped out, we could tell her what we liked and she would make a drink for us. I honestly forget which two drinks we ordered but both were soooo good. I don't think you can go wrong. They have two floors, which is nice. We will definitely be back. This spot is perfect for a nightcap!

    This is the newest speakeasy in Pittsburgh and is definitely worth checking out. Bar Manager, Eva, is creating some super unique and very tasty cocktails in a hidden space at In Effable Ca Phe. They feature Noire Distilling gins and vodkas. They are always creating new cocktails.

    This is our second visit to the speakeasy. This is hands down the best in Pittsburgh. I know that their is another speakeasy in the city that is in the strip district. Trust me it has cool vibes but not like this place. This place is smaller in scale and better by a lot. When you arrive, you enter a small room, their is a book case and you have to open the case in order to get into the secret speakeasy. When you walk in you will see a small bar, small seating. We went around the corner and up the steps to the upstairs which is small, comfortable but very awesome upstairs. We got to meet Phat the second time here. He told me to never believe what Kenyan said about him (funny) from the distillery next door. Super nice guy and down to earth. This place is special and one of its kind in the city and around the area. Can't wait to come back here it's incredible.

    The server was so nice and really fast too when you first enter it's through a secret bookshelf and the ambiance is super cool and has nice music playing the lights are all dark and there's a staircase around the side of the bar that leads to a second floor lounge area. I absolutely loved the vibe of this place but I came with a large group and there wasn't a lot of space to maneuver inside but they let us sit outside on a secluded patio area that was nice as well and they came to us and took our drink orders so we didn't have to wait around at the bar inside. The drink was really good although it was a little overpriced it was worth it for the atmosphere and the taste of it. I would definitely come here again this place was so cool!

    Recently this speakeasy and I'm so glad we did! It was the perfect spot to grab a cocktail before dinner reservations. Eva was so friendly and all of our drinks were perfectly crafted. Can't wait to come back.

    Proper speakeasy vibes. Cool hidden entrance. Way more space (downstairs, upstairs, outside) than you'd think at first. Really cool decor and ambiance. Server was nice and came to us at our table upstairs so we didn't have to go down and brave the bar. Unique drinks with Vietnamese influence.

Even if not staying here, highly recommend visiting. There is a bar are, couch seating, table/chairs. All super comfortable. There's even a back room. Super cool vibes and great drinks. They also have snacks available. You will be greeted by a host who will give you a table and get you settled. The menu has lots of options for some very crafty cocktails, as well as the classics. We ordered several cocktails (can't even remember the names of them) and all were amazing. You can't go wrong. Our server was amazing - ask for Stacey! She was very helpful and attentive. She really helped make the experience even more enjoyable. They do offer charcuterie, flatbreads, etc for snacks. Listen - get the chips with Millers mustard. You will be asking for more chips! Just so tasty. This is a great find! It's obvious that great detail had been made to creating the proper vibe with the decor, drinks, mood lighting, and delicious drinks!!!

Once you enter, it is dark and cozy. I absolutely loved the smell- like an incense smell. All of the drinks were very fancy and I loved watching them get made. Im not a fan of liquor so I ordered prosecco. I still felt fancy. The bartender was great! Super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We also ordered the chips and dip while we were there. The dip had a nice kick to it. The only issue is parking. We ended up in the garage across the street which filled up shortly after we entered! I will definitely be stopping back again in the future!

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.

The seafood is fresh, and the menu features several creative options. We tried a variety of items (Nigiri, Temaki, Takoyaki, and the daily specials) and honestly loved everything!

Next time, we'd love to sit at the counter facing the kitchen for that authentic Japanese experience. Our server was so sweet and gave us some great recommendations.

I highly recommend a reservation as they do not take many walk ins, especially for big parties and definitely take advantage of their happy hour menu (5-6pm). Their HH menu allows you to try some of their most popular bites for a fraction of the cost! Items that we ALWAYS order are the karaage, stir fried udon wit shrimp tempura, at least 3 skewers, the lychee martinis, Takoyaki, and some variation of toro. We try to mix in others every time and have never had a bad bite! Servers are always so kind to us and can't wait until my next visit! Hopefully it's soon!
