“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.“

“A big thank you to Kevin for providing the perfect venue for my husband’s surprise birthday party. Kevin is great to work with when planning an event. We were able to decorate and bring in outside caterers. Along with the selection of local beers on tap and fabulous wine, Kevin made a special barrel aged cocktail just for the occasion.“

“This place has an AMAZING whiskey selection. Plus the atmosphere is great, the bar tenders are super attentive and it’s just an all around great place.“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“Lovely atmosphere with plants, fun decor, and sunlight everywhere, one of the prettiest places to grab a drink! And the drinks are also just as pretty and delicious, with a bunch of of different flavors and combos, they also can craft something for you, but the specials are so varied that you can def find something you like!

Also the staff was great and made sure to check what flavors and strength you would like to steer you in the right direction, would definitely recommend!“

“Was in today for the first time. The bar tender was so friendly and welcoming. Our food was yummy and the Christmas decorations were awesome!“

“I love The Dog Penn for so many reasons. It's a safe dog park (vax requirements and scamp counselors), the owners are community minded (work with local businesses and rescues), and the atmosphere is incredible. Last night, I got a flat tire when I was leaving The Dog Penn. The owners did not hesitate to come outside and help me (well😅 being honest, do it for me) change my tire. They taught me a few things about my car and made sure I was safe to get on the road. Beyond the many things I love about the venue itself, I love the ownership and the way they love and take care of their community. If you haven't had a chance to check this place out yet, you absolutely have to!“

“Came from 2 hours away for a comedy show.
I love that you can reserve seating. I love that it's rows of chairs instead of tables. It was a little hot for me, but I run hot. The drinks were reasonable and delivered to our seats with the use of a QR code! The atmosphere is vintage awesome. I would totally be a member if I lived closer.
Parking is on the difficult side, but we were able to find a decent spot.“

“I'd heard about the wings and just had to try them. In my opinion, Buffalo Wings are truly the only thing that is special about food in Pittsburgh. I was not disappointed. They're the best I've had, and they come served in a basket with sauce of the perfect consistency pooled at the bottom. The woman behind the bar somehow takes care of everyone without any help. You could tell that she truly cared about your experience.“

“Wanted to make sure I wrote this review bc of my amazing experience. First, to get this out of the way… really cool vibe, great beers at great prices, and a great spot for local music. I went recently to see Sacred Monsters who were in town from Philly. It was the lead singer, KP’s birthday and we wanted to do something special for her. Long story short, Toy is amazing. Not only did she help with the surprise but she… on her own… ordered cupcakes for KP since I couldn’t find a cake that met her dietary restrictions. She was so helpful and enthusiastic about helping. I can’t wait to go back.“

“This is a nice venue with top quality music acts, very friendly employee's and very clean. There is a small parking lot and street parking. Very minimal noise level. They don't serve food but everyone goes to a place two doors down and brings it back. I highly recommend Moondogs!“

“Super fun and welcoming atmosphere!! Everyone is lovely, the cocktails are creative and delicious, the food is great, AND the patio out back is awesome!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My wife Colleen and I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Shenanigans Bar and Grill for the incredible support and hospitality they showed during the fundraiser for our terminally ill great-nephew, Jon. From the moment we began planning the event, the owner Brad welcomed us with open arms and generously allowed us to use the facility for such a meaningful cause.
The entire staff went above and beyond to help make the event a tremendous success. The bartenders, servers, cooks, and support staff were all professional, hardworking, accommodating, and genuinely compassionate throughout the entire day. Their kindness and work ethic did not go unnoticed, and so many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything was handled.and how good the food was.
It is rare to find a business that combines such excellent service with such genuine care for the community. We are deeply appreciative of the generosity, warmth, and support shown by everyone at Shenanigans. Thank you for helping create such a memorable and successful event for Jon and our family. We could not have asked for a better experience. Sincerely. Scott Hirsh“

“Great food , great atmosphere“

“I booked The Goldmark’s speakeasy, The Confidant, for my birthday party recently and simply cannot sing their praises enough!

Nicole and Noa were ANGELS and worked with me throughout the entire process to answer any and all of my questions. They worked so hard to create and serve two CUSTOM cocktails with me and a shot of my choice for the evening! There was even a drink sheet made just for my event. I got so many compliments from every guest about how wonderful our bartender, Noa, was. He was fun, helpful, and completely added to our vibe :)
We had full rein over the music, and even a bouncer to ensure our party remained private. Everyone was obsessed with the space, and it perfectly accommodated all of my guests. We were even able to move things around in a way that worked best for us! The staff let us in a full hour early to decorate, and they were ready to help make my vision come to life. Goldmark even provided us a table for snacks and cake that is not usually available.

I can’t thank Noa, Nicole, Jill, and Adam for helping coordinate the most unforgettable birthday party! ( I want to do this every year!)“

“Amazing food and people!!“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere here! ✨ It was my first time stopping by, and the overall vibe was great — relaxed, friendly, and full of good energy. The people around were easygoing, which made the place feel welcoming right away 😊.

One of the best parts was the drinks. They were very affordable 🍹 and the pours were definitely generous, which is always a nice surprise. The cocktails were made well and tasted great, so they definitely did not disappoint.

I also heard from a few people that their chicken is really good, so that’s something I’m planning to try the next time I visit 🍗. If it’s as good as the drinks, I’m sure it’ll be worth it!

Overall, it was a fun first experience with good vibes, good people, and solid drinks. I’d definitely come back again to hang out and explore more of the menu.“

“To start the food was great! As soon as we sat down the service was amazing! Our server Emily was outstanding and knew exactly how to help us. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh.“

“I’ve loved Carls for 20 years!“

“The bartenders are amazing and friendly and very personable this is my go to place when I want to be with friends“

“Four points has quickly moved into our favorite brewery to visit in the city. We haven’t had a beer we don’t like and the bartenders have been incredible each time, so kind! Also have appreciated that they’ve been family friendly. Being newly postpartum, you hope to find spaces you used to enjoy that still work for your family - and they have been nothing short of amazing in making us feel we belong. Great atmosphere, beer, and music - can’t go wrong!“

“A family member just moved to Etna and we wanted some lunch. This place is ranked high on google maps and there is good reason for such a ranking.

The special on Wednesday is $5 off a meat platter and so we got that. Sam the bartender was friendly and efficient and took great care of us.

The pulled pork and smoked chicken with the sides were awesome so much food that we had to take half home for dinner.

Awesome place, the grill/smoker is out front and the fragrance hits you when you pull up. This is a hidden local gem in Etna, even the cooks chat with you and so do the locals.

Super friendly in a great town with awesome food that will not break the bank. You have to go for great BBQ“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, BEST WINGS!“

“Came here for the first time to kill time before a movie in the afternoon and this place is awesome. Got a bacon burger and its absolutely the best in the city, incredible price for everything you get and absolutely massive portion. The bartender Billy was super attentive and friendly, great chatting with him. Interacted with multiple other staff members, great interactions overall. Definitely will be back!“

“Good people, good service, good food. Love the place.“

“Always a good vibe with great service and cool grown & sexy crowd!“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Myself and the good ole pals made the endeavor to treck to Gooskis bar 🚶. Would not recommend walking here 🚷. That being said, the pirogies were worthy of my highest applause 👏. It is definitely an “environment”, but a good bite nonetheless 🙂‍↕️.“

“Highly recommend! Everything we ordered was 10/10, but the crab cakes and ahi tuna were the highlights. The staff could not have been more professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Don't leave before trying the angel food grilled cheese dessert, too. Monterey Bay is a must when in Pittsburgh“

“We thoroughly enjoyed Feast’s New Year’s Eve dinner. Amazing food, creative menu, well paced, so much fun. And they sent us home with palmiers for breakfast!“

“Pearl was outstanding and very accommodating. Definitely a great asset to the establishment.“

“Young Brother's Bar is all about community. They go above and beyond to support their community and organization who work in the community. The environment is extremely friendly with great vibes.“

“My friend Larry, who is a bartender at a Shadyside bar, took me here once when we were in Oakland. LOVED IT! Great atmosphere, great drinks and Gene is wonderful. Interesting mix of Pitt upperclassmen and regular people from the area. Every time I happen to be in Oakland now, I make a point of dropping in for a drink (or five). Highly recommend for a cool bar!“

“Great prices for the beer and they have the coolest staff and a pool table in the back! Definitely one of my new favorites!“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved my stop into Nine Two Five with Matt & JJ. Tried both of their specialty cocktails and an Over/Under which is a great Underberg experience.
JJ’s cocktail (Loretta) was new-age whiskey with lavender, ginger, and egg whites…enjoyed!
Matt’s was a tiki cocktail (3 dots & a dash) that I was vaguely familiar with, and tasted great! Matt had a lot of beer experience that I was able to ask about. Great spot! More people need to go and enjoy the offerings!
JJ & Matt know what they’re doing and if something on the menu doesn’t seem to fit what you’re looking for, please ask as it seems they know how to make it work!!“

“Came tonight for my fiancés birthday and the food was absolutely delicious and Kate was an amazing waitress who made us feel right at home! She was awesome“

“very good food! try the paella, take some to go and enjoy it the next day. it's so.good!“

“What a warm welcome! Naomi was superb and the food was delicious! And so filling! Nothing like this at home in Roc, NY. Glad we left the resort for the local engagement and hidden gem of McGaheysville. Couldn’t leave without their merch! Charlene & Greg“

“Service/Food is great. Wings are killer. Really nice feel to the place with TVs as far as the eyes can see. Perfect ballgame bar.“

“Nancy, the server, was so good! Opened a few minutes early for us! Friendly atmosphere.“
