50 Best Cocktail Bars near Homestead

“Puzzle solving to get in makes it even more fun to hit up. High end spirits at a fair price. Asked for multiple drinks off menu and they were excited to accommodate my requests. One in particular was not available (Corpse Reviver No. 2) as one of the ingredients is exceptionally difficult to procure through the PA system. The alternative request was available (Paper Plane) and we topped off the night with a smoked Old Fashion. Trust me, ask for one. Coolest vibe around.“

“Great place for large groups, cool seating options. Pizza and wine nights are great but all food is delicious!“

“The gluten free menu is perfect for someone with celiacs! Delicious food, friendly staff, and delicious drinks.“

“I don’t get wowed often but this place is worth every penny. We got the cheapest bread you could buy and steak tar tar to start, both were great, then we shared 2 large entrees - the rainbow trout and the chicken, both were 10/10, probably the most perfectly cooked fish I’ve ever had in my life and again I don’t get wowed often. This is by far now our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh to go to, hands down a PREMIERE spot to eat.“

“We had the best time here recently!! Food, staff, drinks, all amazing. The courses were fun and they kept things moving smoothly, very organized. We will definitely be back!“

“Outstanding pizza and service“

“Great food and drink! Had the best burger and watermelon mimosa! staff was super friendly!“

“First time here with my boyfriend and it was an amazing experience. MO was our server and her energy and personality was awesome. As a fellow bartender she was one of the best. Remembered both of our names and was so attentive. They had a hotdog special for the 4th of July which was so good. I can’t wait to come back and see what is on their menu next time.“

“Wandering around Pittsburgh on a long weekend vacation (yes, srsly, go there) and found this gem. A classic daiquiri is proof (pun if I wanna) of how good a rum is. Maggie’s Farm Rum is outstanding. I failed to get a photo of the daiquiri before I drank it so you’ll just have to get one for yourself. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, background music was truly in the background and conversations were low-volume and laid back.“

“This place is a hidden gem for sure!! The vibe and atmosphere is everything!!! The staff is so welcoming. The salmon was absolutely delicious!! Perfection!!
Lional provided amazing service!!
Marina the manager is fabulous, professional and so welcoming. This place is a must try. Thank you to everyone for such an amazing experience! I'll be back!“

“Super fun and welcoming atmosphere!! Everyone is lovely, the cocktails are creative and delicious, the food is great, AND the patio out back is awesome!“

“Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!“

“Best cocktails in the city- strong and classic. Love the daily drink specials and the jukebox. Super cool and nice bartenders who really make the experience great. A really good place to drink by yourself or with a friend since it's laid back“

“Love Con Alma. If you’re looking for a great cocktail, delicious food, or live music it’s the place to be!“

“A new experience for our group. Took the plunge and got 3 grappa's, but couldn't tell you anything about one over another, except they definitely are 10/10 on the hard core scale. Regardless, cozy spot with our the door wine for sister restaurant around the corner.“

“Food was fantastic small plates can add up but everything we had was delicious. When making reservations we thought bar seating was in the bar area but it is at the actual bar so if you don't want to sit at the bar select other seating. We had 3 and sat on the corner and it was a little hard to hear the 3rd person over the sounds of the bartenders shaking drinks. Would go back and instead select the lounge seating instead.“

“Very delicious food every time‼️ Never disappointed...treat us like family no matter when we go their. Hometown bar nothing fancy...but we love it‼️“

“Easily my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. My go to meals there are consistently the same every time. Excellent food and great service, which is hard to find anymore. Eat the best and f**k the rest. Streets On Carson baby!! ❤️🤤“

“We really liked our experience at Apertivo Club. The atmosphere is really warm and comfortable. We split the olives and market salad. Both excellent. I had the spicy rigatoni and it was very good. The drink menu is well curated and the service was truly excellent. We will certainly come back again.“

“This is one of the go-to spots I recommend for friends and family visiting the city. Great place to meet a friend and grab a drink at the bar. The cocktails are great, and when I have occasionally asked the bartenders to make up a drink they always nail it. We hosted a family bachelorette dinner here shortly after they opened and they took great care of us, the food was excellent although full disclosure I haven't had a sit down meal in a while. Fireplace is super cozy in the winter if you are lucky enough to get a table. A real gem!“

“...simply, absolutely amazing. You know what the buzz is about...“

“Had lunch today at Primos and WOW! The Ahbundogas soup 🍜 is the best we’ve ever had. Four large meatballs that alone taste 👅 flavorful. come with rice and portion was great. even a little to take home for later. definitely coming back!“

“Hemlock House describes itself as serving "irreverent food," and they aren't kidding. I came in expecting a burger, but I stayed for the Frog Legs—the gochujang brown butter buffalo sauce is an absolute game changer. If you are looking for boring bar food, go elsewhere. Here, you have to try the Beef Tartare; the quality of the Snake River Farms beef really shines, and the soy cured yolk adds such a rich texture. For the main event, the Duck Burger is a must-order. The combination of a duck and beef fat patty with luxardo cherries and boursin cheese sounded crazy on paper, but it was incredible. This place is a culinary hidden gem.“

“As long as you answer with respect you will receive it back. If you answer with the attitude don't be upset if that's what you get back. This place is so chill and laid back bartenders are cool the food is good security is cool but does his job“

“I’ve been enjoying Mexican cuisine for over 50 years, but I must say that Tepache is hands down the best, most authentic, flavorful of them all. The service is spot on and their selections of house made margaritas are all amazing. Don’t look any further. Just go here“

“Great spot.

Went in for happy hour on a Tuesday, was not too busy and got prompt service from the bar.

This is the only place I've been to that gives you more meat than rice in a bowl, no complaints here.

Drinks were good too, seems like they have the house margaritas premade and on tap.

Would recommend and will definitely be back.“

“It’s a nice place to get a drink. Great dive bar! And the bartenders were friendly. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy tho. Drinks were pretty cheap! I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit this bar but if I’m in the area I would definitely stop in again.“

“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!“

“One of my favorite spots, great service and the oysters are always amazing!“

“Was shocked we hadn’t heard of this spot despite its central location and phenomenal reviews so we gave it a shot. Could not have been more pleased with the pizza, pasta and dessert. What an amazing hidden gem in central lawrenceville and so easy to get a reservation - even on Friday night. We’ll be back!“

“Always delicious! Meghan and Barry where awesome servers and the food was top notch!“

“The assistant manager Gabriel is the most kind and caring man; he exceeds expectations of a restaurant manager by a long shot! This modern Mexican restaurant showboats Mexican pride, while having more than reasonable prices. Food was cooked perfectly and quickly, it felt like we just ordered. I cannot recommend this place enough; the delicious margaritas are an added bonus too. Nothing but positive vibes over here! Huge shout out to our server Fran for being so great with my toddler! He went the extra mile engaging with my child, to the point of my son smiling and giggling every time he came back.“

“We went to G’s for our anniversary and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Great quiet and cozy atmosphere, stellar service, and incredible food and drinks. Every dish was full of flavor and the textures were all beautifully done. Even the bread basket was amazing with maple butter. It felt like a 5 star dining experience for a reasonable person. Excited to go back again soon.“

“This bar slaps. The bartenders are all super chill and knowledgeable. The menu is super interesting, with balanced and unexpected cocktails that are truly impressive. You can tell the drinks have a lot of love for the craft behind their recipes. Can get a little crowded/loud on busy nights but still worth it. 10/10 would recommend sitting at the bar with a couple friends and trying as much on the menu as you can.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome food and atmosphere“

“Absolutely stunning venue! Phenomenal staff, from the doorman to the co-owner Maddy. So much work and time went into renovating and it shows. We will definitely be back for more shows in the near future… and rumor has it they have a full kitchen? Hopefully they have it running here soon. Can’t rave enough, but we had a great time. Parking wasn’t too bad, plan ahead or come early lol“

“Great food , great atmosphere“

“I booked The Goldmark’s speakeasy, The Confidant, for my birthday party recently and simply cannot sing their praises enough!

Nicole and Noa were ANGELS and worked with me throughout the entire process to answer any and all of my questions. They worked so hard to create and serve two CUSTOM cocktails with me and a shot of my choice for the evening! There was even a drink sheet made just for my event. I got so many compliments from every guest about how wonderful our bartender, Noa, was. He was fun, helpful, and completely added to our vibe :)
We had full rein over the music, and even a bouncer to ensure our party remained private. Everyone was obsessed with the space, and it perfectly accommodated all of my guests. We were even able to move things around in a way that worked best for us! The staff let us in a full hour early to decorate, and they were ready to help make my vision come to life. Goldmark even provided us a table for snacks and cake that is not usually available.

I can’t thank Noa, Nicole, Jill, and Adam for helping coordinate the most unforgettable birthday party! ( I want to do this every year!)“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“Good food… no, great food and awesome drinks. I love Mexican food and this hit the spot!“

“🌟 A Sushi Delight in Downtown Pittsburgh! 🌟 If you’re a sushi lover, you absolutely must try the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille. This incredible roll is a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Imagine biting into a perfectly crispy USDA soft shell crab, complemented by the fresh crunch of asparagus and cucumber, the creamy richness of avocado, and the delightful pop of masago. This roll is huge and too big for our chopstick skills, so we used our fingers! Each piece is generously topped with a luscious combination of eel sauce, spicy sauce, and a sprinkle of scallions, adding a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. For just $19, you get 10 pieces of this culinary masterpiece, making it not only a delicious treat but also a fantastic value. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or just looking to try something new, the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s is a must-try experience in the heart of Pittsburgh. 🍣✨“

“A family member just moved to Etna and we wanted some lunch. This place is ranked high on google maps and there is good reason for such a ranking.

The special on Wednesday is $5 off a meat platter and so we got that. Sam the bartender was friendly and efficient and took great care of us.

The pulled pork and smoked chicken with the sides were awesome so much food that we had to take half home for dinner.

Awesome place, the grill/smoker is out front and the fragrance hits you when you pull up. This is a hidden local gem in Etna, even the cooks chat with you and so do the locals.

Super friendly in a great town with awesome food that will not break the bank. You have to go for great BBQ“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly workers and great food!!“

“Pearl was outstanding and very accommodating. Definitely a great asset to the establishment.“

“Absolutely loved my stop into Nine Two Five with Matt & JJ. Tried both of their specialty cocktails and an Over/Under which is a great Underberg experience.
JJ’s cocktail (Loretta) was new-age whiskey with lavender, ginger, and egg whites…enjoyed!
Matt’s was a tiki cocktail (3 dots & a dash) that I was vaguely familiar with, and tasted great! Matt had a lot of beer experience that I was able to ask about. Great spot! More people need to go and enjoy the offerings!
JJ & Matt know what they’re doing and if something on the menu doesn’t seem to fit what you’re looking for, please ask as it seems they know how to make it work!!“

“This place was fabulous the the decor and vibe was beautiful the drinks were top tier and crafted with care we also got shrimp cocktail “ with the good ice” and and onion dip with homemade chips both so good! I cant say enough good things about our bartenders Joy and Alicia they were attentive personable and so fun to talk to 10/10 experience“
