And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.“

“My husband and my mom threw me a 40th birthday party at The Monkey Bar. We had the huge porch to ourselves, wonderful wait staff, and the management was great to work with! Highly recommend looking into this place for events - truly perfect evening!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“What a delight this place is and a boon for the neighborhood! Weather at stand-up comedy or musical acts from around the world, it is a Timeless warm and welcoming neighborhood gathering place. And right next to the police station makes it feel a little safer even though every time I go I find myself walking through a mysterious cloud of weed on the street 😆“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere here! ✨ It was my first time stopping by, and the overall vibe was great — relaxed, friendly, and full of good energy. The people around were easygoing, which made the place feel welcoming right away 😊.

One of the best parts was the drinks. They were very affordable 🍹 and the pours were definitely generous, which is always a nice surprise. The cocktails were made well and tasted great, so they definitely did not disappoint.

I also heard from a few people that their chicken is really good, so that’s something I’m planning to try the next time I visit 🍗. If it’s as good as the drinks, I’m sure it’ll be worth it!

Overall, it was a fun first experience with good vibes, good people, and solid drinks. I’d definitely come back again to hang out and explore more of the menu.“

“Great little place with excellent food. Friendly bartender and clean bathroom. The ahi tune salad was perfectly cooked🥰“

“Four points has quickly moved into our favorite brewery to visit in the city. We haven’t had a beer we don’t like and the bartenders have been incredible each time, so kind! Also have appreciated that they’ve been family friendly. Being newly postpartum, you hope to find spaces you used to enjoy that still work for your family - and they have been nothing short of amazing in making us feel we belong. Great atmosphere, beer, and music - can’t go wrong!“

“My friend Larry, who is a bartender at a Shadyside bar, took me here once when we were in Oakland. LOVED IT! Great atmosphere, great drinks and Gene is wonderful. Interesting mix of Pitt upperclassmen and regular people from the area. Every time I happen to be in Oakland now, I make a point of dropping in for a drink (or five). Highly recommend for a cool bar!“

“Home away from home...From out of town? Miss the old neighborhood? Like Blues and R@B? You've found it...at the R BAR... 5 mins. from downtown(avoid rush hour) The owner is a semi-retired musician..and his wife besides being a "Hottie" LOL..Is the salt of the earth...If you make it there on Sundays..You'll find one of the best"Bloody Mary's" around...and a 6 piece band called "The Midnight Horns" who all lead their own bands doing the week,but come together at the R BAR to roar..(Jazz,R@B,Blues)..I must also mention 2 of the best bartenders around..Toni and Billy.will treat you like family...So why not give the R BAR 5 stars? Only because of it's size,and no food..however a Pizza parlor opened next door with a wide variety of treats...good enough to feed those Boilermakers..from the R BAR...“

“the servers are amazing (Reva) and recommend this place to anyone looking for not only great service but some of the best food around!!“

“Great bartender Great wings“

“Service was excellent. Our server was friendly, professional, and prompt. The club sandwich was great, and my ladyfriend loved the crab cake sandwich. I dig the hotel lobby venue, just wish it was a bit bigger. I can see it getting quite cramped at busy times. If that's my only gripe, then I don't really have anything to gripe about.
Absolutely 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“

“the band, the staff, the atmosphere, are all genuinely wonderful. The band members themselves bring all of their own flavors forward from their independent styles of music and meld them together into a wonderful performance every night. you'll never have a dull experience at Pittsburghs premier hot spot for night life!“

“Was in from Cleveland to go see a show nearby. Stopped here for dinner and it was such a good choice. The key lime mead was to die for! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I drank it...Food was also great. Perfect portion sizes. Not to big and not too small. They even let me customize it a bit which was nice.“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“Our first time in Pittsburgh visiting from St. Louis to watch some baseball. Food and atmosphere was amazing… Service was great. We highly recommend. Dre was the bartender and she was so good. The Pittsburgh cheesesteak was delicious.!“

“The pizza is so good. Our group got a few different ones to try, and honestly, they were all good. I’m convinced it doesn’t matter which pizza you choose, you will most likely enjoy it. The beers were good. What more can you want pizza and beer?“

“I ate before arriving, so I didn’t have any of the food. But the kitchen was pumping out orders the entire time I was there. Drinks were generous with alcohol. Bartender was nice. Atmosphere was light, like I came with one friend felt like I knew everyone else I encountered. Good music choices were made on the jukebox. I enjoyed myself.“

“Most reviews are 1 or 5 which sums the place up perfectly. You either get it or you don't. If you want a good honest dive with 'eclectic' patrons, efficient bar staff, stiff drinks ,.smoking and a jukebox, it's for you. If not,.don't go.“

“Lots of great memories at this local Halloween haunt!“

“Such a beautiful place with amazing employees. This is the place to be! Cheap drinks and loving people.“
