“It's a nice place for a drink. I personally didn't get food the only time I went but the portion size is nice and big from what I saw other people have.It's a two story building with a dance/club area up top. It's a nice weekend hangout.“
“Went for wing night. I've seen and heard that their wings tend to be over cooked. In our experience, only 2 of 30 wings were over cooked, and we didn't even mind. The wings were perfectly cooked. I recommend the Hot sauce. It isn't very hot. It's a great traditional hot wing sauce.They also do a fried shrimp dish with the shrimp tossed in the wing sauce of your choice. We chose the garlic parm. It was fantastic.They don't seat you so come prepared to figure it out. And maybe come early. It was very busy. Parking was easy though.“
“Debbie is still the sweetheart i met 7 years ago! Thursday is a must if you want the best bartender this side of the Allegheny! It gets a little crowded on weekends but nothing too terrible at all. The service is top notch. Speedy and friendly every day. Food is always served HOT! It's been about 7 years since I was a regular. Still a great place to unwind and meet or talk to new people or catch up with friends from the past. Very happy with the new owner for not trying to change the place. I literally eat the same thing every single time I come in. It keeps getting better. Love having this place available on my way home from a 12-15 hour day working 45 minutes from home.“
“Verrrry delightful. Had been hearing about this place since moving to PA and finally got to go—wait wasn’t super lengthy, seating was neat (we sat outside in a tent with heaters), and food came out really quickly. Loved the sauce on top of my pierogis the most!“
“I recently hosted an alumni event here and if you're looking for a space to do something similar, or maybe gathering some friends and family to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, I'd strongly encourage you to give SIP Taproom consideration. Kevin is quite accommodating and very easy to work with. The laidback atmosphere, coupled with an excellent offering of local beers and quality wines from California and Oregon, make this a place that shouldn't be overlooked.“
“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I liked that they have a chef driven/rotating menu, and everything is farm to table or supporting other local businesses (like breweries).Dietary restrictions: The menu had vegetarian and gluten free options. Also all of the specials were Lent friendly.“
“The food was very tasty but the main reason we were there was for the drinks which were absolutely amazing. The grog was my favorite. There are so many different ways to make a rum drink taste and they mastered them all. Service was cheerful and friendly. The place actually looked like it could be on an island with all he tiki statues everywhere. Excellent stop.“
“I visited acacia for the first time and really loved their cocktails. I was afraid that without reservations, the wait would be too long. But even on a Saturday evening in Southside, we easily got a table at 8:30pm. I got The Architect which was spicy and refreshing. The service is amazing and they will make any drink off the menu as well. I asked for a Mai Tai and got the best one I've ever had. Definitely recommend this bar to go to with friends. The ambience is also easy-going and chill for catching up with friends or relaxing after a long day.“
“First time here, will definitely be back! Service was great food was great. Had the loaded fries, nashville chicken sandwich buffalo chicken eggrolls..not a fan of the eggroll but everything else was amazing. Ranch dressing was the some of the best I've “
“Was very disappointed in the meat lover's Flatbread. It tasted like tomato paste for the sauce and the meat has no flavor. It was plain. I suggest to anyone don't get it. My fiancée had thier Italian hoagie which he felt bad and gave me half of his sandwich to eat. The bartender did ask if I liked it. I did let him know about the pizza not being too good. He just looked and didn't say anything and walked away. I'll still come here. But that flat bread has to go. I don't even see how that one is on the menu! Everything else so far I tasted from there is good.“
“The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was cooked well and so delicious! The parking lot was full so we thought we might have trouble getting a table but they had tables available so don't let the full parking lot keep you from stopping in.“
“Discovered this locally owened business and highly recommend! Ordered beef brisket and pulled pork; there were two sauce choice, BBQ and mustard, recommend the mustard. Both entrees were smoky, tender, and flavorful. The pork had a nice bark on it. The collard greens were delightfully spicy and the brussel sprouts were crisp with a surprising vinegar dressing. Acoustic guitar from 7pm to 9pm was awesome, as was the beer list...a dozen beers on draft.Highly recommend and will return!“
“Fun little southside bar. I usually go for trivia on Wednesdays and it's always a great time. Only complaint is it's a very small bar and doesn't have a lot of seating.All of the food I've tried has been good also. I highly recommend trying the wings.“
“It was cool to see this place transform from Howard's Pub to Harold's Haunt. The small little changes are great and made the space feel very inclusive. They have a small beer selection with some good choices. There are also rotating cocktail and mocktail menus. There's an outdoor patio in the back that's nice. The food menu is on the smaller side but had some nice choices; the five dollar grill cheese got the job done when we needed to refuel. Good spot to stop at before or after a show at Mr.Smalls.“
“So, I wish I could give the Loft, specifically, seven or eight stars. Great environment, great bartenders (Paul is just the nicest guy in the world, honestly). A great karaoke night every Monday. And I actually came here to say this: someone stole a six pack of beer I had bought, and ERIN, the gm, just insisted on replacing it, even though it had nothing to do with their establishment. I thought that was incredibly cool, and I think this place, mgmt and bartenders, will take care of you no matter what.“
“Soo good ? The food is bomb?, I had the Philly steak with mushrooms and beer cheese, a side of fries and my husband had the Rodeo burger ? with fries also we had the Fish sandwich/fries and the twice fried chicken wings with the house bbq/onion rings and everything was cooked to perfection and so delicious.“
“Friendly bar staffFun drinksGood foodFun vibeGot the pierogi, which comes deep fried with the most incredible onion jam. The pierogi tasted like Mrs T's from the frozen section but that jam did laps around the restaurant. It was incredible.My friend got the pink drink which tasted like pink and white animal cookies.A fun place to stop on a stumble down Carson.“
“The experience started with the warm welcome from the staff. From the security to the bartender, they were all friendly and pleasant. The food was really good and seemed to be fairly priced for the area, although I still feel the area is overpriced in general. The process of getting into the venue was easy and organized. The space was a beautifully quaint and well-used venue. The crowd for a sellout was the perfect size and it was not overcrowded. The acoustics of the venue were very excellent and the price of tickets was phenomenal. If there is a downside, it is the parking, however it is free in the evening, which beats $40-$50 at most other venues. I will certainly be back just for the experience. Amazing work!“
“Well I’m from Dayton,Ohio and I had a really good time at Denise and Earls. The food is delicious, the people were enjoying themselves to the fullest. Everyone had good vibes from the staff to the crowd. I will definitely be back when I come to Pittsburgh.I really enjoyed the passing of the mic and fun performances by the crowd.“
“A bar that simply cares. From listing the origin of the various cocktails, to the variety of the liquers that are the stars of each drink,this place truly has something to offer for everyone from all walks of life. Cocktails range from less than 10 years to over 120 years old, and countries across the world. This is a curated collection that's served with honor and care. I highly recommend a visit, and if you're not sure where to venture, ask the very knowledgeable staff. Thanks again for the experience, we will definitely be back when in town!“
“I am so happy this place exists! These are the best cocktails I have had since we moved to the area from the San Francisco Bay Area. So impressed by the staff, everyone is so friendly and every drink has been fantastic. We will definitely be back!“
“Down to earth blues club. Moondogs keeps it simple and stays true to itself. One side of the room is a stage and tables for listening. The other side is a bar. I would prefer more options for beer on tap, and I feel like Moondogs has been left behind, but perhaps that is intentional.“
“Love Gunny’s! Brittany is the best and the food is always delicious.Parking: Public parking in a residential neighborhood can be difficult depending on how busy they areKid-friendliness: Fairly kid friendly with a full dining room but do have to enter through the bar.Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible I would guess but is pretty tight and entrance is no step but uneven especially at door threshold“
“This is a really nice and fun place with top quality entertainment. The food is very good and rather inexpensive. The food I ordered was delivered in just a few minutes! Amazing! Very friendly staff. The new game room is also nice. Highly recommend!!“
“Great little spot with friendly staff / owner and nice local hometown feel ❣️ we stopped in for dinner with a toddler and infant and got a nice quiet booth where they provided coloring materials for the toddler as well as a booster seat. The service was wonderful! They also support a new local brewery (Magnetar) and the beer was delicious!!! We will definitely be back when we want a low key family night out ?“
“love this place so much. I've been coming for years and always have a great time. the food is always amazing, quick and hot. the staff is so friendly and always willing to help. the bartender phy is the best. ask her for a tequila recommendation and you'll never be disappointed.“
“I’m traveling from Oregon and stopped by for drinks and food. This is an amazing establish. Reviews don’t do justice. Highly highly recommend stopping by for a quick sip and bite. Everyone was really kind to me. As a solo traveler I wasn’t sure what I would get into. I got a simple shrimp in the basket and it was SO GOOD. Omg. I can go on and on about Squirrel Hill Cafe. From Oregon to Pittsburgh, put this one on your list to check out“
“This place ROCKS. I really can’t pinpoint what it is, but every single time I’ve walked through that door, I laughed till I cried, drank good and danced all night long. Julie behind the bar is a very important piece to this puzzle. Best bartender ever, hands down!“
“The food at this place as absolutely great. We always compare food with the best Mexican restaurant we’ve ever been to (in Arizona) and this is the closest competitor we’ve had so far. The guacamole was great, so were the deserts. The one complaint we had was the music is so loud it’s hard to talk with people at your own table. We wish the music was a little quieter. Other than that, it was great!Parking: We had to park at the bank. It’s pretty difficult to find parking unfortunately.“
“Went to a private party upstairs, about 40-50 people, a little tight for moving around with plenty of seating available for all. Food was good, wings hot with a variety of sauces to use, Mac and cheese bits and burritos. Had pulled beef and chicken on slider buns. Mac and cheese was very good-creamy. Open bar with fair choice of beers and liquor for the party.“
“Stopped by for some beers & basic bar grubs during a weekday dinner time. Good beer choices. Their smash burger was great. Fries were a bit saltier than my taste but that's me nitpicking. Friendly barkeep, chill atmosphere during their slow hours.“
“The food was very flavorful and unexpected in a good way. Tasted even better than descriptions on the menu. Cocktails were really yummy too. Our server Heather was attentive and helpful. Really enjoyed the entire experience from beginning to end!“
“My personal favorite cocktail bar in the 412 area. The vibe is awesome, very authentic speakeasy feel with the lightbulb outside and minimal storefront advertising. I'm almost hesitant to leave a review bc I like this being a hidden gem!“
“Seems like a really great bar. I've only been here once, we stopped after a show at Mr Smalls theater. Many of the people from the concert ended up here, so the music was somewhat of a continuation. Looks like they have a nice outdoor setup for the more pleasant weather. Follow for more...“
“Absolutely A Great Place to stop for a quick drink or two...The place is beautifully clean including the bathrooms and the staff is super friendly also the food is delicious and not expensive like other bars/restaurants. I AM glad that I made a great decision on getting the membership during my first visit so I can come regularly without a escort from another member. P.S., The smoking room is outside in the back in a little patio area, which is great even for a smoker like me as I don't like the smell of smoke while I eat and all over my clothes.“
“My wife's friend had a little party there and we had a nice time and the fried chicken was on point so I definitely want to thank the cook. The drinks were pretty good too but if there was one thing they could improve on it is making Margaritas which weren't too good but I will still give 5 stars ?“
“My coworker and I decided that a night on the town was much needed but wanted a different scene than the norm. Jekyll and Hyde was exactly what the doctor ordered! I loved the decor and the drinks were fantastic and quite affordable (I had spooky juice and my coworker had their signature, the Jack-O-Lantern). I also enjoyed the live karaoke and will be back soon for some good ole spooky fun!“
“Two words: hidden gem. Commerce Bar has a sleek and sophisticated atmosphere. The cocktails are expertly crafted by skilled bartenders that take pride in their work. It shows in the finished product. The vibe here is both relaxed and upscale. As a plant lover, I loved the photos trailing from the planters along the skylight. The music is unique.“
“Lefty's is a great place to grab an ice cold beer when you need a break from the crowded streets of the Strip District. The beer I ordered was seriously the closest beer I have ever been served at a bar. The bartender was welcoming and the price was reasonable. Indoor seating is available as well as a few outdoor seats in case you want to continue people watching during your beer break.“
“Burgers were outstanding! Juicy and cooked exactly as requested. I had the Yinzer with an egg on top. Friendly, helpful server was eager to customize the burger however you want. Fries were great too. Large selection of tap and bottled beers.Parking: Good number of free off street parking spots.“
“have always had fun here.No one ever stole my money. it's a Pittsburgh thing you go to the bar when you leave your money on the bar no one ever stole my stuff perhaps people that I think that happened to them maybe they drink more than one drink good place good music Good Company“
“Wonderfully cozy little bar. Christine welcomed us with arms wide open. She was an absolute pleasure! Christine got us drinks, took our order and helped us gamble smiling the whole time! Her energy was wonderfully kind! Nora and Jesse from New York will definitely be back to visit! Friday and Sunday!“
“What a stunnnnnnning coffee shop/cafe!!! Loved the historic building, stunning natural light soaked lounge area, plants & allll the vibes! Seriously, beautiful! We stopped in for an oat milk latte and it was out of this work! Perfectly frothed, creamy & strong espresso! So happy we stopped in here! It was such a vibe & the best coffee! ☕️“
“I've only been her twice for lent fish sandwiches so I can't rate anything else. Talk good meal. Crisp fries and a nice piece of fish. Not overly greasy. The staff was really nice. The dining room is unassuming but bright and clean. I'm interested to try other food here.“
“AMAZING experience ! I loved everything I ordered. I got the fried chicken, the fried tempura sushi roll, and the onigiri which was the highest quality tuna I’ve ever had in my life it was sooo good! We got a nice private room for my party and everything about this place is meticulously detailed! Go go go!!!“
“The people here are so friendly and welcoming. This place had everything. It had all the gothic alternative punk rock vibes and I loved it. Larry was my bartender and he was pretty cool. I ended up playing pool with some people in the back and had a great time. This is definitely a go to staple when it comes to dive bars in Pittsburgh. Definitely my #1!“
“Never let down by this place. Seriously, a hidden gem. If you haven't been here, or if it's been awhile that you have been, I highly suggest you give it a try. Meatloaf is something I normally don't try out, however I chanced it one day and it is AMAZING. I haven't had something here that I haven't enjoyed. The fried cauliflower is something I have to get every single time. Recently tried a daily special of chicken romano with spaghetti (sorry, half eaten picture, forgot to get one before hand!) it was also so good. The service is always phenomenal as well, highly attentive. I cannot say enough good things about it.“
“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“
“The front space is rather noisy but the space itself is gorgeous (maybe the back beer room is quieter?) Pizza is incredibly thin, the way I like it and absolutely delicious. It was pretty unique from what I've come to expect living in Pittsburgh the last 5 years. Great cocktails, nice wines and good beer selection. The staff were all superb, chill and easy going. Cannot wait to go back.“
“Gianna was my waitress and she was fast and efficient! I got the pub salad with mesulin gorgonzola red onions marinated tomatoes and the protein was grilled chicken with a lemon vinaigrette.. WOW was this good ❤️ I was also in a bit of a hurry so I only ate half. That's where Gianna sprang into action. She had everything at my table in minutes. She was great and so was my salad that I ate later that evening. I will be back and do highly recommend!!“
