We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Olive or Twist followed by a welcome party for around 100 guests and it was the best night thanks to John & the team. The space upstairs is so beautiful and John helped us coordinate all of the details for our 2-part event. Our guests had so much fun and it was the most wonderful way to kick off our wedding weekend. A special shout out to John who helped facilitate the whole event and was there to support us throughout the whole night. The food was great, the bartenders were awesome, and we were so amazed by how the space could be used for a formal sit down dinner followed by the best private party!

Next Level Entertainment Dj Todd "Olive or Twist Lounge in Pittsburgh is an incredible venue that truly stands out! The atmosphere is perfect, with a warm, inviting vibe and an upscale yet comfortable setting that feels just right for any special occasion. As a DJ, it was amazing to work with the entire staff and the venue, but a special shoutout goes to John Muth, who set the bar for hospitality. John went above and beyond, making not only me feel welcomed and valued as the DJ but ensuring every single guest felt exceptionally catered to.
What really made the night seamless was John’s collaborative spirit. Working with someone who values teamwork with all vendors, staff, and the newlyweds themselves is truly refreshing. His dedication to making sure everyone’s experience was top-notch made the entire event flawless.
For anyone considering a venue that combines stunning ambiance with an outstanding level of service, I give Olive or Twist a 10/10. Highly recommended!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Olive or Twist last week and could not have been happier with our choice. John was so helpful and kind, and made planning it so simple. Thanks to John and his staff for a wonderful evening

Great spot on a Saturday night! The music was amazing. Best singer I’ve heard in a long time. I ordered a Gin Martini. EXCELLENT. great atmosphere and our server was great! Get food somewhere else and come here for a drink and the music. I had the Olive and Twist burger with fries. Not great. Got to the North Shore Tavern and walk across the bridge to enjoy drinks here afterward. I seriously think the reason this place wasn’t packed on a Saturday night was the food. Great place overall.

Happy hour is good. Beer costs 5 dollars. Guinness tastes a little different from what I'm used to. I like that the staff keeps checking on what I need.
Excellent spot in the Arts District for cocktails prior or after a show! Creative concoctions and lively atmosphere.

Walked into this establishment with no one to greet us, sat down at the bar. Two bar tenders began serving us-they were friendly. However, for each drink we ordered they were out of something the drink required whether it be ice or the type of alcohol. The bartenders suggested something else for each drink and we agreed. We were sitting at the bar for about one hour when a man came up behind us started yelling at us to leave and that we could not even finish our drinks. He stated this is a private event leave now and do not finish your drinks. He was rude and inappropriate. When we walked in the door there was no signage of a private event and no one to greet us at the door to let us know. The bartender stated this man was her boss. However, I do not know if he is the manager or what. He handled the situation terribly- as if it was our fault the employees of this establishment allowed us to come in, sit at the bar for an hour, have 6 total drinks, and spend our hard earned money. I rated service a 2 as the bartenders were pleasant. Will never come back.

We went here for my sister-in-law's birthday party. Very nice place. I can't say anything about the prices, because my brother-in-law footed the bill. But the drinks were terrific and the food was pretty good as well.
