“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.“

“What a lovely find! We stopped by Monday night before a birthday dinner. The server did a fantastic job matching our palates to unique, well-balanced cocktails. I appreciate he then explained each drink's ingredients to us. The food menu is limited, but includes some great basic bar snacks like labneh and olives. Thank you for the great service (unfortunately missed our server/bartender's name!). Hope to return next time we're back in Pittsburgh.“

“They had a really tasty chicken and jalapeno dumpling soup as a special. I think its nice when places do weekly specials and mix it up especially when they turn out as well as this one had.

Nice place, can get a little cooped up when its crowded and busy, but I think they have an upstairs for reservations or parties, maybe.“

“Came here on a sister date and was not disappointed! Free parking which is an extra plus! The decor for Halloween was great! Definitely added spice to the atmosphere! Angela, the owner, is great, super friendly and personable! I had the Carmel apple pie cocktail and pumpkin spice White Russian and they both were tasty drinks! They also decorate for the holidays so I will be back to check it out! Highly recommend on checking this tap house out!“

“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.“

“What a delight this place is and a boon for the neighborhood! Weather at stand-up comedy or musical acts from around the world, it is a Timeless warm and welcoming neighborhood gathering place. And right next to the police station makes it feel a little safer even though every time I go I find myself walking through a mysterious cloud of weed on the street 😆“

“Cash-only with ATM inside. Fun grungie bar, great for music and a nice punk vibe. Got to witness the debut of a metal band 🤘

Pool table in the back with friendly folks to rotate in with.

Great beer specials and fast service at the bar. Menu is very hard to read on the wall opposite of the bar, but food is solid.“

“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!“

“Bishops is the classic local place to go, where strangers feel like family! TV’s for watching sports, TouchTunes for good music, great food and always consistent and full bar! Great service where you’ll be treated with the best local hospitality. Right off the highway in a convenient location“

“Great little place with excellent food. Friendly bartender and clean bathroom. The ahi tune salad was perfectly cooked🥰“

“We won a gift certificate from my favorite non-profit, Hilltop Horizons.org I didn't know I liked Cider until we stopped at the Brewery at Soergels in Wexford. We tasted several samples before we ordered a growler that was perfect for 2 of us. We sat inside as it was a bit windy that day. There is great outside seating as well. There were board games available to play and great views of the farm. We tried the sorbet on the way out. It was delicious!! We also picked up a 6 pack to enjoy later. This would be a great place for family fun or just for 2. I love to find local small businesses that support each other and the community! We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Such an iconic Pittsburgh bar. Always something going on here, especially live music. Had the smoked wings which were a 10/10. The bartenders are awesome. There's a TV mounted on the wall so the people at the bar can watch the show, nice. Had a blast. Place was packed. Also, the biggest urinal in Pennsylvania.“

“OMG where to I start!!! This place was AMAZING! Food was great. Drinks are strong! Bartenders are super cute and the
Security is top-tier. I came into town for the Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers game and this place will always be a stop for me in Pittsburgh. MUST TRY!!!“

“I recently rented out the goldmark for my 30th birthday and it was nothing short of awesome!! The bartenders, Jill and Lindsay, were so kind, attentive and helpful!! The drinks were amazing, the DJ was great (Dr. Dap), the location was top notch, the atmosphere was a total vibe. The communication with the owners on what we needed, when we needed it, any helpful tips, was all phenomenal. I would highly recommend!! THANK YOU!“

“Great bartender Great wings“

“Just started going to the Theme a couple of weeks ago. We were looking for a change of pace and more for our money. The Theme did not disappoint, great drink specials & daily specials. Food is great especially the sandwiches and pizza.“

“Varied music genre’s and groups; other activities as well such as karioke, thoughtful owners, expanding food menues based on recommendations and concerned about the surrounding community regarding noise a debris created by some late night customers. Pizza coming to the menue this week!!“

“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.“

“Very welcoming place. Great food and good prices!“

“If you're seeking a neighborhood bar in Carrick that offers Monday night 50-cent wings, boasts a historic charm, and exudes a "Cheers"-like atmosphere, Sophie's Saloon is a standout choice. Located within Carrick, this bar is steeped in local history and community spirit. The ambiance at Sophie's Saloon is reminiscent of the classic neighborhood bar, familiar faces, a cozy setting, and a sense of community that makes everyone feel like a regular.“

“A walk down memory lane. My father Paul Sebastian owned this tavern (The Oaks) for many years. As a little girl I spent many Saturday Nites laying under the bar across beer cases.“

“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!“

“We had a rental place down on Sycamore and we stopped here for a evening of libations and pool table fun 🤩 the bartender was great and the drinks and service were excellent. Don’t hesitate to stop here a great Pittsburgh Bar. We stopped here several more times during our stay. Also good bar food. A cash only establishment“
