My sister owns this place! A
true “Pittsburgh Locals Only” kind of place. Literal family vibes and homemade, rustic Northern Italian fare. Here, it’s “Pasta FAGIOLI” not “PASTA FAZOO” 😂

I don’t eat hamburgers but apparently these Italian-Americans make some of the best in town. Don’t try to shit-talk Christoper Columbus in this joint! 🇮🇹

Good vibe bar with great food and good music. Outdoor seating in the summer. The punk staff will probably treat you like shit but I think that’s part of the charm?

Literally, a "Stepbrothers" themed wine bar on the shores of our cleanest river, the eponymous Allegheny. The theme is subtle and this place is actually classier than you’d think- with, obviously, a respectable wine selection in addition to beer/spirits and small plates. It’s the FUCKING ALLEGHENY WINE MIXER lol

The legendary “Squirrel Cage.”
It hasn’t changed in decades. Cheap beer and fried food. Dark and dingy. A reminding vision of what bars used to be like everywhere. Equipped with a dangerous elevated booth accessed by a spiral staircase that inevitably claims a victim every night. Alcoholic bartenders and good music. You’ll love it. I don’t know if you can still smoke in there, but be prepared...

A favorite of the Hollywood elite when they’re in Pgh. Can’t you just imagine smoking weed on the roof of this place with Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron? (A friend of mine actually did this)
