    Paper Plane Cocktail
    matt p.

    Single handedly the best cocktail bar in Pittsburgh. Easily a 15/10. Very intimate setting tucked away in the busiest drinking area in Pittsburgh. My absolute go to place for a drink when I want something good.

    This spot is very cute and spacious! It's an intimate vibe with mood lighting. The server was nice. It's a speakeasy in the south side which is fun since the outside is very discrete. The menu has a limited number of cocktails on there, 6. Our group tried a lot of the drinks. Many of us got the perfectly spring and it was very strong. I think it's a drink that is made basically with all alcohol. The sailors say drink was really good albeit spicy. Someone said it tasted like an Italian sausage and I could see it. Friends liked the suntory time a lot. The coffee cocktail on the menu was also really good. It's a cool spot to check out if you're in the area! They are pretty creative with their creations.

    Excellent cocktails. This is the bar that bar people come to. I guess that there are other quality cocktail bars downtown, but Acacia stands alone on the South Side. This is a Bourbon Sour. These guys are for real. 10/10.

    Small cocktail bar along E Carson St. Very much has speak easy vibes with little to no curb appeal. It's dimly lit once inside complimenting the speakeasy feel. Phenomenal cocktails and knowledgeable bartenders! It is a small space with a back room that is sometimes closed to public for private events. Stop in for a cocktail!

    This is the best place to get a cocktail in the south side! The bar is small and hidden, so it is very easy to walk past without even realizing it. The staff are amazing and super friendly here. My friend and I were greeted the second we walked in on a busy Saturday night. The bartender gave us water right when we sat down at the bar and continued to fill it throughout the night without us even asking. The drinks they made were also very good. They have an apple cider punch on the day we went for $6 a glass. Very reasonable price for a great cocktail, definitely the best price I've seen at a cocktail place.

    This is a traditional speakeasy in every sense: from the windows shrouded in newspaper so passerby's cannot see inside, to the dimly lit interior, to the excellent mixologists who can whip up anything your heart desires. The drinks are all excellently crafted and reasonably priced. If there is something you have as a "go to" - share with the bartender and they can put a spin on it. Like gin but not sure how to make a cocktail (other than a G&T) with it? Let them wow you with a lemon/lavender concoction. Like it simple? They have an amazing selection of bourbon, whiskey, and amaro. Pro tip - if its DEAD in there (rarely), ask very nicely and they will make you a traditional Ramos Gin Fizz (all 12 minutes of shaking!).

    Acacia has the coolest, low-key, speakeasy vibes... darkly lit with the windows boarded and an entire wall of liquor bottles above the bar. Their cocktail menu is creative and thoughtful. My husband loved the Old Fashioned, and I really enjoyed The Architect. The bartenders are very attentive and knowledgeable, too!

    I LOVE ACACIA!!!! They make some of the best cocktails in the city. They also have an amazing selection of hard to find liquors. There's always a fresh cocktail menu but they have no problem going off menu to make you exactly what your craving.

    The BEST drinks in the city!! Plus, all the drinks are priced very fairly at around $10 each. My boyfriend and I are obsessed with Acacia. They always have about 4 featured cocktails on their menu and can make any other cocktail you can think of. Acacia also has a highball machine that makes amazing highballs. All of the servers and bartenders are really helpful. If nothing on the featured cocktail list is peaking your interest, they will recommend a drink for you to try. The bar really does feel like a speak easy. It is a very easy place to miss if you have not visited before. The lighting is also pretty dim. This is a fantastic date night spot or place to have a relaxed night with friends.

    Dive-y feel. The kind of place you can lose track of time in. Good bar for both amateur and professional drinkers.

    "What do you mean we can have a bar crawl in one building?" My friends ask, as I present the option…read moreof going to the Hazelwood Brew House. "It's three breweries having both indoor and outdoor spaces," I reply. The brew house is a multi-story brewery complex. At the base there's a beer garden, the third floor three indoor breweries, and an open rooftop. Get a beer anywhere and travel with it throughout the facility. There are stairs and elevators! The acoustics are a bit loud in the indoor space. There is a kitchen. We enjoyed being able to move around and the brewery variety enabled something for everyone. It was my first visit and the employees were very patient and explained the concept to us. Easy parking in the lot. I'm glad we made the trip and I would be happy to go back!

    We stopped by on a whim last Friday night after volunteering in the area at Community Kitchen…read morePittsburgh. There's a parking lot but we just walked over. You walked in and can either take the stairs or elevator up to the third floor. There's a couple of couches, a water fountain, and some memorabilia on the ground floor. The second is off limits. The taproom is pretty big and we didn't sit outside since it was cold but there's a rooftop deck as well. There's a food counter with a small menu and two open bars from different breweries. I like that they have smaller pours that are reasonably priced. I'm a dark beer lover and they had a few options for me. We sat there at the bar and closed down the place. This place is a little out of the way but I would come back!
