Habitat

The menu was what first drew people to Habitat. All menu items are locally “sourced, organic and sustainable…wherever possible.” If that wasn’t enough to make you want to go, Habitat now offers live jazz music from Wednesday through Saturday night. Enjoy some soft, slow tunes while you eat the fruits of a nearby farm, which makes Habitat one of the best Pittsburgh jazz clubs.

Embury

2216 Penn Avenue, 1st Floor
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

Embury will take you back in time. Billed as a “pre-prohibition” cocktail bar, Embury offers old-time classic drinks like Rye Whiskey and hand-mixed bitters. It’s not only the drinks, however, that draws a crowd to Embury. It’s also the New Orleans-style jazz music. It’s the combination of old-time drinks and music that make this one of the best Pittsburgh jazz clubs.
