“We didn’t have food. Stopped for a drink before a Penguins game. Our bartender Lindsay was top notch. She gave us an education on mixology. We concocted an old fashioned with High West Campfire bourbon and molasses bitters that came out as the best old fashioned I ever had. Always great experience here but Lindsay made it perfect.“

“We’re from out of town but liked it so much a couple years ago that it’s our go to place when we’re in Pittsburgh. The happy hour drinks make it very affordable and the popcorn snack is very tasty to go with the beer and cocktails. Nice chill vibe and seems to be a neighborhood spot.“

“A new experience for our group. Took the plunge and got 3 grappa's, but couldn't tell you anything about one over another, except they definitely are 10/10 on the hard core scale. Regardless, cozy spot with our the door wine for sister restaurant around the corner.“

“...simply, absolutely amazing. You know what the buzz is about...“

“It’s a nice place to get a drink. Great dive bar! And the bartenders were friendly. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy tho. Drinks were pretty cheap! I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit this bar but if I’m in the area I would definitely stop in again.“

“Very delicious food every time‼️ Never disappointed...treat us like family no matter when we go their. Hometown bar nothing fancy...but we love it‼️“

“We LOVED Emerson’s! Such a cute vibe inside! Highly encourage reservations! We made reservations and still had about a 15 minute wait. They do have a cute bar area if you want to pop in for a drink! The crab cakes and Emerson’s burger were incredible! I really enjoyed the burger with the secret sauce! Truffle fries…need I say more? Tons of fun drinks and food options! Make sure to ask them to dim the lights-that is the only “complaint” we had before asking as it was SO BRIGHT at 9pm at night! Otherwise, they delivered. Awesome service, great food, 10/10!“

“Incredible meal, outstanding service, cool vibe. Scallops were fresh, perfectly cooked chicken, and the best Panna cotta I've ever had. I asked the server for pairings and they were all perfect. First time having a Pinela and loved it. I wish I was there with someone to try more. It was a last minute decision to eat here and really only stumbled upon it. So glad I found it! Definitely worth a visit. Make a reservation or get there when they open to sit at the bar.“

“We had the best time here recently!! Food, staff, drinks, all amazing. The courses were fun and they kept things moving smoothly, very organized. We will definitely be back!“

“I visited from out of town and fell in love with this place. Ended up sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender and her partner. It was great conversation with very friendly people. The drink! OMG the DRINK!!! I NEED the recipe for the Forged Dirty. Seriously. It is hands down the best dirty martini I have ever had and probably will ever have in my life. Please, someone reach out and send the recipe to me. 🙂 The food was excellent. The pizza was good, the grape leaves were delicious, and the falafel was amazing.“

“One of my favorite spots, great service and the oysters are always amazing!“

“Always delicious! Meghan and Barry where awesome servers and the food was top notch!“

“everything was perfect. highly recommend“

“We went to @ritualhousepgh tonight and it was one of the best freaking experiences I have had very long time! Liam was our waiter and did a phenomenal job at anticipating any need we would have, had insighful recommendations, and even surprised us with a dessert experience to end our night. The attention to detail with the food all the way to management was top tier. If you’re in the Burgh make yourself a reservation (request Liam- we promise you won’t be disappointed) and enjoy some hella yummy food and a great experience.“

“Great neighborhood pub vibes but a little more elevated. Fair prices and great seasonal fare.“

“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!“

“Awesome food and atmosphere“

“We frequent this place often - great food, good vibes, and fast service. There is plenty of seating at the bar and the tables at both the front and back of the restaurant. Never had nopal (cactus) before? Give it a try - it’s delicious! And if you like some heat, the homemade salsa that comes with the tacos is fire - literally! Just wash it down with a margarita or mezcal cocktail. You can’t go wrong here.“

“We went to G’s for our anniversary and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Great quiet and cozy atmosphere, stellar service, and incredible food and drinks. Every dish was full of flavor and the textures were all beautifully done. Even the bread basket was amazing with maple butter. It felt like a 5 star dining experience for a reasonable person. Excited to go back again soon.“

“Went in on a crowded, busy night, but the bartenders were immediately responsive and friendly still. They have a wide variety of drinks, and all four that two of us tried were really memorable and unique. For sure a place to return to and try the whole menu“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“My experience with Hysyde was very wonderful. They’re very professional, wonderful vibes and good food. I want to say that I tried their sour cream and onion chicken and it was delicious. I plan on coming back again. This place deserves 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Impressed the minute I walked in the door. Awesome service and amazing VIBE.....this hip little space instantly became my new go-to watering hole while visiting the city. Prices are great, the drinks are unique and deelish - and the service is top-notch. From the quaint candle lit tables to the old black and white photos and the wall, I enjoyed it all. Oh, AND, take your fave vinyl!! They will play it!“

“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.“

“We stopped in around 6:30 on Friday for some drinks and snacks. The salt and vinegar chicken basket (strips and fries) was the perfect thing to share. The place looked great and the outside area looked cool, but was not open. Lots of big TVs and great bar stools - comfy with a back - but no bar foot rail or hooks under the bar for purses. The bar is really big and there are booths and high top tables in the bar area, with nice, big bathrooms downstairs. We’ll definitely go back - seems like a good place to watch a game.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“So I had an issue. I needed a last minute spot to have a few friends join me for my Birthday!! Well let me say this "Kulchure Kitchen YOU ROCK"!!! This is such a friendly estabilment.

“Great place for large groups, cool seating options. Pizza and wine nights are great but all food is delicious!“

“Good food… no, great food and awesome drinks. I love Mexican food and this hit the spot!“

“Great sushi and wanton soup.“

“Great place, great atmosphere, great bartenders, great tunes. Highly recommend.“

“The Commoner’s kitchen knows what they’re doing, and it shows in every dish. The menu is straightforward but executed with real attention to detail and bold, well-balanced flavors. The Spicy Crab Dip is rich, creamy, and just the right amount of heat, paired with perfectly crisp toast for scooping. It’s the kind of appetizer that disappears fast. The Crispy Potatoes are a must-order—deeply golden, crunchy outside, soft inside, and made even better with a velvety taleggio cheese fondue and roasted garlic butter. Simple, but perfect. The Pork is cooked exactly how you want it—juicy, well-seasoned, and served with sides that let the meat shine. It’s clear the chefs here care about the details, from technique to balance on the plate. Service is friendly and efficient, the drinks are well-crafted, and the atmosphere is lively but comfortable. No gimmicks, just seriously good food made by a team that knows what they’re doing.“

“Cool for breakfast. Great location and atmosphere.“

“🌟 A Sushi Delight in Downtown Pittsburgh! 🌟 If you’re a sushi lover, you absolutely must try the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille. This incredible roll is a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Imagine biting into a perfectly crispy USDA soft shell crab, complemented by the fresh crunch of asparagus and cucumber, the creamy richness of avocado, and the delightful pop of masago. This roll is huge and too big for our chopstick skills, so we used our fingers! Each piece is generously topped with a luscious combination of eel sauce, spicy sauce, and a sprinkle of scallions, adding a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. For just $19, you get 10 pieces of this culinary masterpiece, making it not only a delicious treat but also a fantastic value. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or just looking to try something new, the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s is a must-try experience in the heart of Pittsburgh. 🍣✨“
