Lovely speak easy atmosphere, beautiful chandelier, and a really good use of space overall. Delicious and artistically crafted cocktails and excellent small plates as well as fresh oysters! My only dislike was the metal music playing, just seemed out of synch with the atmosphere of a “speak easy”. We were seated near a table that twice had really obnoxious young adults, so maybe we came on the wrong night to enjoy. But overall, this is definitely a place you want to experience. We’ll be back to try more cocktails.
Everytime we travel to a new city we get recommendations from locals where the best places are. Commerce Bar was mentioned more than once, and from servers at other bars / restaurants, which is huge in my book. Commerce Bar is a great speak easy, that was fun trying to figure out where it is once in, we knew we were in the right spot. We sat and the bar, and chatted with the bartenders, since we asked about where we should go next to maximize our time in Pittsburgh. Cocktails here are phenomenal, and masterfully crafted, and completely unique. While they offer food, we had just eaten so we didn't get to try anything, but if their cocktails were a sign, they food offerings would be delicious. (And looked delicious as they passed by us)
Beautiful speakeasy style bar with a unique ambience hidden away in Shadyside. Amazing craft cocktails with uncommon flavors like the one that uses green curry. Cannot wait to go back. This is a new local fave.
The commerce bar is by-far the most unique experience you will get when it comes to a speakeasy. The staff also seem to love what they do with a love for the craft. The drink I had were delicious and seem to change with the seasons. The bartenders are also open to requests if their menu isn’t what you had in mind. I have been to the place five times and have never had an issue getting a place to sit.
Very interesting place went for a mid day drink on a Sunday. Took us a bit to find the hidden door in the back alley. Great drinks. OK snacks.
