| - Questions to ask yourself before going to Bar Marco...
1. Am I a hipster?
2. Do I love being crammed into a too small space with hipsters?
3. Do I like a place so pretentious that they don't have a cocktails menu but instead interview you on the flavors you like, come up with some concoction, then charge you $12 for a drink (a fact they don't mention when you order) that will literally be gone in 4 sips?
4. Is your idea of restaurant ambiance to decorate with stuff found in the dumpster behind Goodwill?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then this might be the place for you. I, for one, was not impressed. I went there last night and, while the drink I had was OK, it definitely wasn't worth $12 and I am annoyed that this wasn't explained upfront. Also annoyed that the waiter spilled half my bowl of soup in my lap then didn't bring me a new bowl or even comp the soup. That's not the kind of service that inspires me to return.
As for the regular food, I can't really speak to it because they had James, owner of the Pittsburgh Taco Truck, as guest chef. His tacos are awesome so I definitely recommend catching his truck. Just get your tacos there, not Bar Marco. They'll be a cpl dollars cheaper too, because they'll be lacking the side of pretentiousness.
