The owner, tzveti is one of the most rude people I’ve ever met. A super hostile individual, who threatened to call the police for where we parked even though she told us to park there. we nicely brought up a few plumbing issues that we had at her air bnb and she didn’t do a thing to make the situation better. The kitchen sink didn’t work, the shower leaked all over the place then she tried to put the blame on us even though she said “I finished the bathroom in a rush and didn’t use it before you arrived”.

Not to mention the bar is dirty. The seating was uncomfortable, the music was much too loud. The food was NASTY 0/10

Vegetarian options: Cheese options without meat and she even tried to accommodate my vegan wife. Super nice.

We stopped in on a Friday night, had a few delicious cocktails and a great cheese platter. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of drinks/food. The folks here are so friendly and nice, it was a very welcoming environment and enjoyable in every way. The exterior is a work in progress but don't let that dissuade you from skipping out on this spot! We are looking forward to going back!

Bocadillos has been on our "to do" list since last summer - finally made it. Did not disappoint! As the food (we tried six different dishes) and cocktails lived up to pre-visit expectations for our group of 4 (+ two dogs) completing a great weather outdoor experience!

We had the courtyard all to ourselves, which was an unexpected pleasure - while as the same time left us wondering why more people didn't join in?? (Chesney Concert, 3 Rivers Arts & Pride festivals must have pulled people away?)

Although we did not meet the chef/owner, the staff and their service were well paced, attentive and welcoming. GREAT small plate & cocktail experience without having to venture (completely) into the "Burgh"!

This place represents Pittsburgh and Pittsburghers so well. It is a bit rough at first glance. Then, you spend time there and it is beautiful. The staff are like running into friends that you have not seen for a while; such friendliness and ease. The plates are really well thought out and put together wonderfully. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are appreciable in the first bite. They have homemade white and red wine that are both good. I tasted each and went red. The essence is international just like the heart of all Pittsburghers. I plan to make this a regular spot.

A hidden gem. Looks like a dive bar outside, but cozy inside, with an added bonus of an outdoor seating area with a view.Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was stellar. Definitely worth a visit.

Cool low key spot- local cocktails and great appetizer type bites

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.
