Con Alma

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. First off, they always have amazing jazz music. Every time I go, I hear a different band and I always have a good time. They do a great job showing how much musical talent we have in Pittsburgh and I don't think there has been a band that I didn't like.Second, they have amazing food and one of the best vegan menus in the city. I had the vegan jerk platter last time I was there, and it was bursting with flavor. I'm also a big fan of the maduros, so make sure you check them out if you stop in. But if you are not a vegan or vegetarian, they still have great options.Lastly, I love their drink menu.  They have so many creative cocktails and I always like to try something different when I go. Con Alma is a true gem in this city and I would recommend this place to anyone who likes good food and jazz music.

Great place love it here staff is amazing vibe is cool music is the best jazz walking distance from my pad love coming here Slick

I'm such a fan of Con Alma, the vibe can't be beat and is truly unique for Pittsburgh!! The intimate, cozy setting is perfect to enjoy your drink of choice and listen to live local jazz, which is available every evening. The food is great and the menu inspiration seems to change often. A couple notes - make a reservation in advance and heads up that a $10 per person live music charge is added to your bill (it's worth it!)

Came here to watch a jazz set on a Sunday night. It was very lively. The interior was warm and inviting with a lot of mood lighting. The tables were arranged around the stage and it was easy to see everything. The show was fantastic. The food was just as good. Absolutely fantastic. They had an Indian soul food menu and the dishes were smart and full of flavor. I think i had the best fried chicken sandwhich Iv'e had in my life. On the negative side: The service was rather slow, it was crowded and it didn't seeem like they could keep up. We got our food before our drinks came which was a bit disappointing. But it didn't bother the meal as the food and entertainment made up for it.

Brilliantly flavorful food, solid cocktails and wine, vibrant jazz, and attentive service. Absolutely love this jawn.

Best and only (solely) jazz bar in Pgh. HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation for the weekends or else you will be on a waiting list for hours and most likely not get in. There is a general first come first serve area in the mini lounge/bar area to the side but those seats fill up fast! Music is phenomenal and there are jazz vinyl's they'll play when the musicians are not playing. Cocktails were creative and delicious. Highly recommend!

Con Alma is genuinely such a delight! This jazz club has been on my list for ages, and it did not disappoint at all. We made a reservation, which I recommend you do a few days prior as the inside was packed, and there was a small line (even for those with reservations). Seating only took a few minutes, and I suggest you snag a seat in the inside lounge. The seats all face towards the stage, and it is so much fun watching the jazz band perform. The low lighting also made for a classy atmosphere. The servers were very sweet and had a good sense of what was popular on the menu. Our waiter pointed out that the Nashville hot chicken ($25) was very spicy, and I do agree in case anyone reading this is spice intolerant! The food was delicious, though a bit pricey. I ended up sharing the chicken with my friend, and I think that splitting an entree between two was a good idea considering the large portions. My cocktail ($13) was also so good (and a bit strong!).I will note that there is a $20 cover added to your bill (per party, not per person), which I assume is for the cost of watching the show. However, this does not bother me since it is a small price to pay for a unique jazz performance!

Came here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. I've always wanted to visit as I just love the vibes hereWe made a reservation and glad we did as the place was packed. We had nice weather that day and sat on the outside area. We arrived just in time for the live music set that started. Our servers were amazing plus the food was nice.

Is there a better place in Pittsburgh to hear live Jazz? I think not. You'll find local talent as well as national and international traveling acts at this, the premiere Jazz bar and restaurant in city. They've got a super talented bar staff that is always creating some fantastic cocktail creations. And the food tends to be from around the world and full of flavor. And they always have a nice selection of both vegan and Gluten free dishes.

Really cool vibe, if coming 100% come on a live music night to make it worth it. Drinks are strong, some hit some are misses but to each their own (drinks/meals are pricey tho imo). If you know what drinks you like, I'm sure this bar can do you good. The jazz is great, the vibe is smooth, rly cool place to relax and chat at if this is your vibe. Def rec at least going once.
