“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‼️“

“Nice place to visit. They have a ok crowd and friendly ppl who work there. I see it is clean and they are upgraded a bit ongoing and I can't wait for it to be done. They offer food outdoors and drinks also. You can sit at a table and enjoy yourself.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I've spent 30 years in Los Angeles (and Mexico and around the world) enjoying amazing Mexican/Hispanic cuisine. We are finally getting some authentic and creative Hispanic food in the Burgh! Yesterday I tried Tepache Fox Chapel. The menu was very creative with authentic dishes from around the world. I tried the birria tacos. They were perfect! "A Jalisco staple. Quick-fried chipotle-corn tortilla stuffed with beef slow-marinated in chile de árbol and cinnamon, topped with raw onion, cilantro, melted queso Oaxaca. Served with lime and consomé broth for dipping." Yes they even came with console broth!!!!! The drink menu was also very creative! Great service and as we know a beautiful restaurant!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Amazing food. Dan was a terrific server. Great experience. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“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++“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly workers and great food!!“

“I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Goldmark, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The DJ kept the energy high all night, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Nicole for making the whole process so smooth and easy to coordinate. Highly recommend this bar for any special occasion—definitely an unforgettable night“

“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%“

“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!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
