“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Reliable neighborhood bar with great bartenders. Fridays during lent they have a semi-limited fryer menu because they are selling so much fish because it's a great deal, quick & good. Its beer battered & fried. Its pretty large. For take out, ask for the bun to be on the side and to not salt your fries or put the salt seasoning on the side (they can be a little salty but if you have a beer in hand, you're good to go).“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“I love this place! I was in Pittsburgh for a work thing, and this bar was around the corner from my hotel. The atmosphere is amazing. It's a neighborhood bar where everyone seems to know each other. I love that it's not one of these places that tries to be all fancy and stuff. If you want to avoid those type of places, I highly recommend Birmingham Bridge Tavern. The food is damn good too! I recommend the fish sandwich and the Pittsburgh reuben. Drink well, eat well, and hang out with real people! Thank you BBT for an awesome Pittsburgh experience!“

“I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Goldmark, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The DJ kept the energy high all night, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Nicole for making the whole process so smooth and easy to coordinate. Highly recommend this bar for any special occasion—definitely an unforgettable night“

Laughed , met great people and the bartender and 1 of the cooks I met we're 100% good people !Highly recommend stopping in for anything ! Been going there for years and it always a good time !“

“Where else in town can you smoke a pack of cigs that came out of a retro machine... drink cheap beer and eat the largest chicken wings I've ever seen in my life? Also you're technically allowed to graffiti in the bathrooms, just don't write on the pinball machine. The jukebox is really cool too. I won't be back for personal reasons but I liked sitting in this bar even when I stopped drinking, it was cool to see everyone else having fun. The BBQ wings are seriously delicious (why are they so big??? Not complaining just impressed) and there are always weird movies playing on TV, and they write a fun little quote on the chalkboard daily which was honestly my favorite part. It's gross in a good way 🩷“

“Delicious cocktails and small plates. Love the bar and outdoor areas! The owner is the sweetest and an amazing hostess/chef. Very fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Great food! Staff is awesome friendly, and attentive without being intrusive! Seasonal menu options are creative.“

“My husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner here since it is where we had a our first date. They were so accommodating and even helped us to move locations last minute due to weather. The drinks were delicious, as always, and the staff was so kind.“

“Great place before the game or concert. Prices are fair and the workers are a lot of fun. Always rippin a Pittsburgh Wrap before the game! Sean is great. If you're from out of town, Souper Bowl is a great place to get a Pittsburgh feel. 🍻“

“The chicken was awesome. I heard the drinks are good, strong, and cheap. Definitely a chill vibe. Tight space, but good for relaxing after a long day or catching up with friends until midnight. It started to get really crowded after that time. Security is present. Street parking available.“

“love this place! our first visit as growing bourbon connoisseurs, and our bartender dominic did not disappoint! great food, amazing bourbon, fantastic service, wonderful atmosphere.“

“Porky's is a hidden gem in PGH. The BBQ is fantastic. The smoked wings are some of the best I've ever had and the atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a relaxed yinzers bar. It's a great spot to watch sports and the staff is very accommodating to most requests.“

“awesome place good times with old friends from the neighborhood and Rick is an awesome owner who cares for his customers“

“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!“

“This Yinzer gem, was literally a 2 min walk from my air bnb of Suismon (Hooters floor mat😉🖤💛). Not a local, but they made me feel like a local on my first night, and I came back every night and met the locals as if I were one too. Same for Grand Brew, if you find this helpful tell them Keto Ryan from Las Cruces says hello 👊). Was captivated by the IC Light neon signs outside, Clement mural b Raymer, and new friends. If you want a true taste of Pittsburgh go to Verdetto’s and Grand Brew, and IF you are good people, you will fall in love as I have. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 Anything less than a 5 star review for these spots tells me you are probably a karen.“

“We went there one night with my husband’s cousins. It was a lot of fun! The drinks were great as well. I love the one with juice of a whole fresh orange and the one with fire( I forgot the name). We stayed until 2 in the morning and got tacos on Carson st. Felt exhausted the next day lol.“

“Home away from home...From out of town? Miss the old neighborhood? Like Blues and R@B? You've found it...at the R BAR... 5 mins. from downtown(avoid rush hour) The owner is a semi-retired musician..and his wife besides being a "Hottie" LOL..Is the salt of the earth...If you make it there on Sundays..You'll find one of the best"Bloody Mary's" around...and a 6 piece band called "The Midnight Horns" who all lead their own bands doing the week,but come together at the R BAR to roar..(Jazz,R@B,Blues)..I must also mention 2 of the best bartenders around..Toni and Billy.will treat you like family...So why not give the R BAR 5 stars? Only because of it's size,and no food..however a Pizza parlor opened next door with a wide variety of treats...good enough to feed those Boilermakers..from the R BAR...“

“Its a cool local joint? Definitely a place to go before shows at @Roxian!“

“Awesome dive bar, cute decor. Bar staff is friendly and added custom touches to our drinks! Juke box with excellent music crankin’. We didn’t have the opportunity to eat - but definitely recommend the drinks!!

Parking: Parking can be a little tricky, fold in your mirrors.“

“Excellent fish, great top-shelf drinks and volunteers that can’t be beat. We try to make them all!“

“Wide variety of Genres of Music throughout the Months, Live Music and Event Venue. Great Drinks, Polite and Kind Staff! Great Sound System. I had a Great Night here, I am sure you will too.“

“Drinks are wonderful bar not watered down like most bars, the food is amazing best wings in the city“

“Such a clever, well done, historical, smallest, greatest bar ever! Definitely worth stepping off the noisy street for a cocktail!“

“Love visiting condado butler street when i’m in the lawrenceville area. It’s such a fun vibe & the food is always a 10. My #1 is the chorizo queso. Definitely a very well-managed location. Ask for the employee Phy if you go! Can’t wait until my next visit!“

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

“Been here a couple of times and it’s turning into one of my favorite spots in the area. The food is always great, the ciders are good and the staff is always friendly. We went on a Thursday for Bar bingo and a Wednesday for trivia and had a blast both times!“

“Chill place! Cool bartender ! Cheap drinks!“

“We got the Lent special and I am allergic to fish (not shellfish) and they opened a new fryer to cook my food separate. Nowhere has ever done that for me. We will be back!“

“Dave’s Tavern is a small bar, with good service and good food. There was one hard working person cooking and serving, so bring your patience. Typical bar food, burgers, fried appetizers, wings, etc. Reasonable prices. No tap system, bottled beer and liquor. You can sit at a table that seats up to 7 or at the bar. Cash only.“

“Favorite traditional after work Pittsburgh neighborhood bar....add some of Pitt's best and brightest, a lot of fun.....Trivia nites on Wednesday are entertaining as the crowd is generally younger and the kids have a unique sense of humor....“

“Definitely a place where you can have a great time with great service!“

“Garvey's is a fantastic place nestled in Southside slopes.We stumbled upon when we were walking from the slopes to the flats. Bartender James was a lot of fun. They don't serve food but you can order in. I showed up with my whole football crew and we brought snacks and sandwiches. Felt just like tailgate! They have a fun bowling game in the back room. We also bought Garvey's Tshirts and hoodies. What a blast“
