Want to warm up with something spicy? Try an autumnal cocktail at these Pittsburgh bars and restaurants.

Sure, they have great coffee and brunch, but they also have booze! Try the pumpkin espresso martini, spiced cider mimosa, or fall sangria at Mediterra Cafe’s Lawrenceville, Mount Lebanon, or Sewickley locations. And don’t leave without a Halloween cupcake.

This new chic spot in Sharpsburg is the first LGBTQ+ owned distillery in Pennsylvania. I’m ordering the PSL martini. What will you get? Go for happy hour, 4-6 p.m., Wednesday-Friday.

The fall menu lineup at this Troy Hill cafe and restaurant pushes the boundaries on seasonal sipping with cocktails like “Cha, Bruh” made with avua cachaca, banana, cinnamon, and braulio amaro or “Miso Sunset”  made with Parking Chair vodka, honey, miso, lemon, plum, and orange-coriander foam.
