“The food was AMAZING! The service was AMAZING! The drinks were AMAZING! We are going back tomorrow because we loved it so much! We had cheese curds (the sauce was the best!), the mussels, pulled pork nachos and shrimp tacos! All were hands down the best we have had! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Don’t walk RUN to this place!“

“Prices are terrific, service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is what you'd expect out of a tavern, with a bonus from some potted plants.

The soup du jour, a spiced black bean soup, was out of this world. The fried pickles were the best fried pickle wedges I've ever had, with some terrific batter. The wings were good. The sauces were delicious, especially the spice golden BBQ sauce we had (golden goldenboy, I think). The only thing was they weren't crispy.

We'll definitely be back though.“

“Drinks are amazing! 10 for 10 no notes!“

“If you like hood bars this is the place to go. They have pool tables and food but I never ate there but I heard the food is BOMB! You also have to try those jello shots that Auntie makes which are very strong. My only GRIPE is that they use the state regulated pours so the bartenders really can't show you little love but at least they don't charge you an arm and a leg“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Their Sunday brunch is amazing! Food is delicious and they offer a great menu. I recommend pairing it with some fun drinks and great friends. They also serve awesome drinks like mudslides, banana monkey, or dirty monkey, and some good fruity drinks, do not hesitate to name your favorite, or don't be afraid to try something new. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Servers are always great and pleasant from my experiences as well! Street parking only but it's free. It also may look like a "hole in the wall" before going inside but it's far from that. It's recently renovated and has a modern but classic bar feel and look. Just don't judge a book by it's cover on this place.

Parking: It can be a pain to park due to its street parking only. But if you can get a spot on the street it's located on then it's not bad at all. But it%“

“Cash only joint! Smallish neighborhood gem. Looks unassuming from the outside but it's just perfect for the locals. No beers on draft and that's a little sad but the delicious food totally makes up for it. The bartenders/waitstaff are always friendly, attentive and funny. Since we moved to Mount Washington, we're pretty much slowly becoming regulars so there go our plans to lose weight this year ?“

“best dive bar ever. Always good people“

“Legit the best Reuben, crispy and a little tangy, so good. All the sandwiches are so freaking good. All of the ciders are so good. One of our favorite places to go. Usually live music on the weekends and trivia during the week. Awesome place.“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Was there this past Friday and wish I could have stayed longer ! But...... , 1 beer ang go ! Anyhoo I had stopped for their Turtle soup ! ! And it was fantastic ! Good people all the way around ! 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 !“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“Dive bar vibe - Dark & Vintage. They're hot cheese balls were pretty good. They were not the best cheese curds that I have ever had, but they were decent. If you like your cheese curds extra cheesy, these are for you. We also got 2 burgers were which were extremely large, & cooked well done which wasn't very good. The fries were subpar and the chips were just plain generic ruffle chips -not made in house or anything. I would have loved another option to not have a side. This place was not super expensive which was cool but probably wouldn't come here again.“

“Townie bar with a hip vibe? Check. Excellent drink selection? Check. Local owner that you’re happy to support? Check. Clean bathrooms with great smelling soap that costs more than what I buy for myself? Check. Feels like a safe space? Check. What more could you possibly need?“

“I ❤️ this place!!! The staff is wonderful, the owner is super friendly, and the cooks make amazing food! Plus, they have a pool table, darts, and a great selection of beer and spirits! Highly recommend!“

“I WOULD RATE 10 STARS IF I COULD!!! I LOVE A GOOD WING AND SAUCE AND WHEN MY BARBER SUGGESTED TIM'S PLACE FOR THE BUFFALO WINGS, I WAS HOOKED!!!! THESE WINGS ARE NOT SPICY, MORESO MILD, BUT SOOOOOOO DAG ON GOOD!!!! YOU WANT MORE AND MORE OF HIS SIGNATURE BUFFALO SAUCE ON THEM!!!! ITS A BUTTERY BUFFALO SAUCE THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED!!! I CAN EAT THESE WINGS EVERY DAY!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!“

“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....“

“Absolutely enjoyed this bar! Their drinks were good and the night my friend and I went they plaued great music. Since it was snowy, there wasnt a large crowd, but we had fun regardless.

The bartender was friendly and gave us drink suggestions and made good talk. We watched sports on tv, talked, and overall had a good time. Bathrooms were clean, dancefloor is fun.

Parking: Street parking“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“I just had my dinner. i ordered fish and pierogies I didn't get to eat right away. It was still delicious after heating it up !! thanks to the cook and the people taking orders on 03-29-21“

“Get your drink on, get your smoke on and get your grub on and get your groove on. Classic dive bar. Know what you want to order before you're at the bar. Some booth seating with a long bar with stools, back room with pool and live music.“

“love Jodi and her yummy food“

“Good Food, Awesome Staff, the amount of pictures of the owner was a touch I found odd, and something called "CumbBurger" had me laughing.Extra star given to offset Karen's one star because she brought in a party of 8 when they were already busy.This place is small, I would never try to bring more than 6 people at once, even then you would need 2 tables.Cumb, you seem like a fun guy, maybe even fun enough to bring in more business by just being there to talk to, but it kind of felt like a museum dedicated to your accomplishments.Keep living life to the max, I'd definitely come back.“

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

“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“

“Randy was our first class bartender and was knowledgeable polite &friendly PGH tortas was the food truck for the new fangs beer release and they provided a five star taco experience - duck carnitas, rabbit tinga, gator po boy, nopales and beef tongue. All juicy choices featuring the perfect combo of acid, fat& sweet heat.
The beers featured the marzen - best Oktoberfest of the year. We went home with some coffee porter &the scent of the head alone was transformative.
The owners and brew masters work hard and it shows in the quality. We will absolutely return. Thanks 4pts!“
