    Mozzarella sticks
    Tito K.

    We came to Archie's on the Southside of Pittsburgh before going to a Pittsburgh Riverhounds game. Archie's is touted as the chicken wing of 93.7 the Fan. The place is small with a bar area and about a dozen tables. We came during the NCAA tournament, so games were on their multiple flat screens. Our server was really nice, friendly, and attentive. The service was really fast. We started out with some mozzarella sticks. They were pretty standard, but fine. We got two orders of ten wings. Buffalo and Tangy Gold. I enjoyed the Tangy Gold more, my son and his friend enjoyed the Buffalo. They have an assortment of wing sauces. Overall, a pretty good experience.

    This is a nice little bar in the south side that has some cheap wings on Tuesday night. You can get about 10 wings for $8. The space is decently sized and the service is quick.

    Best spot for wings in the southside. Really really good wings. Also a great spot to go watch your favorite Pittsburgh sports teams. Service is very good and a great place to eat and drink with your friends.

    Came on a Monday and called in to confirm all wings, boneless and boned, are 80c wings. Have to order in sizes of either 5 or 10 piece. With the help of 2 friends, we combined for a total of 65 wings, and let me tell you, archies is UNDERRATED! 100% recommend for any wing lover, portions are very good, and the wings are incredibly fresh. I got the Spicy Thai Tangy gold Archie's Smokey BBQ Sweet teriyaki Ranch Flavors, and my favorite was Tangy Gold!

    Side salad!

    I don't ever really venture into the Southside because it's not really my cup of tea. Lots of cool shops and things to do but getting there parking or even public transportation is too annoying. It has to be something special for me to head to the Southside. My partner and I we're going to go to dinner before we headed to a show and we were trying to decide where to go. Do we do something fun and classy and spend maybe a little bit more money than we wanted to? Or do we go and get wings. Of course we decided to go get wings I'm not saying that we're not classy and we don't like to spend a little bit of money on good food but considering that my graduation was last week saving money on food really was something I need to do. Archie's has delicious food. This was maybe the second time that I've been here and I was really impressed with the size of their wings and with the flavor choices. They had celery and carrots with ranch and blue cheese which is a usual for wings but I found some places that don't offer this on the side. When looking over the wing choices we decided to order 20 wings, so two orders of 10. Because we got two orders of 10 we were able to get two choices of sauces. If you wanted to split up the orders into more sauces you had to pay extra. We went with a dry Cajun and the honey mustard. Both were delicious. Next time that I would be there I would ask them to throw a little bit more seasoning on the dry Cajun but other than that it was great. The honey mustard was also dripping with sauce just the way I like it. And the cool crunch of those celery and carrot sticks really went above and beyond. I also ordered a side salad which was huge and only ate about half of it. Sometimes when you're doing fried food for dinner you might want to add a little more vegetables. I probably could have passed. But I will say I did eat that salad the next day. The staff was really fun and attentive. They made me laugh a lot. I would definitely come back here for wings. I hear that they do have some specials and maybe I'll come back on a day where I can partake in those. Really nice spot with ample seating and my favorite part was you could actually hear the person across the table from you.

    Archies is a no frills Pittsburgh sports dive bar that specializes in chicken wings, at least that's why I come here. It has a large bar when you first walk in, about 10 high tops and 5 tables. It was about 2/3 filled at 7:30 on a Tuesday, with the Pens playing on 6 of about a dozen TVs. There was only one guy working the dining room, with Archie's help of course, but he moved quickly, making sure everyone was promptly taken care of. Aside from their full bar, they have about 12 beers on tap, your standard lite beer options along with some IPAs - Goose Island, Sierra Nevada, etc. They have specials e.g. $2.50 Coors lite during games, along with pitcher specials and you-call-its on the weekends. Back to the wings...Monday-Thursday they offer 60 cent wings every evening (starting early, not sure the exact time.) Not a bad deal. They usually come out fairly quickly - hot, fresh, and the most important part...crispy. I don't find myself needing to order "well done/extra crispy." My favorite is probably Archies Sweet Heat, which are sweet, spicy, tangy goodness. Also a fan of spicy garlic parm, tangy gold, and Cajun ranch from the dry rub section.

There is a decent amount of space inside with options ranging from couches to low tables and high tables which is nice. The bartender was welcoming. There was several tables of customers without it being overly busy. I decided to order a flight and was glad they didn't exclude the barrel aged. I got the Panda's Choice (Belgian Triple) and then the Panda's Choice aged in Tokaji barrels so I could compare them side by side. I had never had a beer aged in or even had Tokaji (a Hungarian dessert wine) so I was intrigued. It gave the Belgian a complex taste and made it very unique. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first but also kept going back for me. I also brought some home which will be great to share with friends. Also in the flight I got a Belgian Quad and a Chai winter ale. Both were tasty. Overall it was a great flight and I would drink all of the beers again. It's great to have a Pittsburgh brewery putting out Belgian style beers.

I wanted to place a carryout order. I first tried online but there was a glitch somewhere in the system. I called instead. When the phone was answered, the background noise was intense. It was so loud that the employee couldn't hear me. At that point I decided to just go in and order. When I walked into Urban Tap, the noise was almost deafening. Music blaring, voices raised to be heard. No one was using their "inside voices", they couldn't. I sat at the bar to order. I never got waited on. I finally caught the attention of one of the bartenders and was ready to place an order. We leaned towards each other, yelling to try to be heard. I couldn't hear her when she read back my order. I really wasn't sure what I'd be getting. Unfortunately, I did get what I ordered - brunch breads and an order of biscuits. It took quite a while to get food - no surprise there. I checked our food when I got it. Oh Lordy, those biscuits looked good. This southern girl appreciates a good biscuit and did these look good. I got the food to the car and we headed out on the next leg of our adventure. About an hour later, I just had to grab one of those golden, flaky discs. Butter? Jam? Nah, the biscuits looked like they could solo on their own. I took one bite and my eyes flew open - not from the deliciousness, it was because of the sheer amount of salt. That can't be right so I took another small bite. I tried a teeny bite of the next biscuit. Salt. The biscuits were inedible. No, I don't mean that I didn't like the flavor. They contained so much salt that there was no way someone could eat these. That's ok, there was the banana bread French toast. It looked a little dark in color but it never crossed my mind that this might not be normal. I took a bite. It tasted odd, off, something wasn't right. My husband pegged it - it was burned. Before grilling or after? No idea. There were also a couple of donut holes. Not even worthy of a second bite. I also ordered fruit. It was good but still not enough to save the meal from dismal failure. We won't be back .
