Bar Louie on the North Shore has a great location near the stadiums, but it definitely feels more like a space tailored for tourists rather than local regulars. The food and service are pretty inconsistent. Some visits are completely fine, while others leave a lot to be desired with slow service and lukewarm meals. It's a decent spot to grab a quick pre-game drink, but don't always expect a reliable dining experience. read more

No surprise you could get a bar seat here on the 4th vs. other establishments on the North Shore that were packed. When we arrived here there was a total of 6 people at the bar with dirty glasses in front of all of them. (They were all seated at a corner of the bar) After waiting 10 minutes we tried to get the bartenders attention only to be greeted with a rude snarky attitude and frustration that seemed as though we interrupted her from doing nothing. There's most likely good bartenders there at other times, but July 4th was most certainly the 3rd string of the staff. read more

Food was great. Quite disappointed with our server. Was not very attentive and got our drink order incorrect twice; took quite a long time to get her attention to order and get drinks so was not worth the time. Would still come back for the food but hopefully not her as our server since the rest of the staff was pleasant. read more

A great spot near Stage AE. We went after a concert to have a couple drinks. There was a live DJ on Friday night, playing good music, and plenty of seating options. Service was good and attentive. With plenty of options for drinks, a couple NA options that I appreciated. We decided we were hungry around 11:30 p.m. and were pleased that we could still order. We had the Parmesan truffle fries, which were amazing; flavorful and with a great dipping sauce. Glad we came in and recommend to others. read more

Bar Louie - North Shore - Truffle Fries - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Headed here before a movie at Rangos Theater one evening, walking the short distance. Was able to get a table right away. I ordered a margarita, but, what turned out to be a fortunate accident, my server thought I said mojito. I loved it better so all was good. I ordered a fish sandwich which was very good. I did have to wait a good bit for my server when I was ready to pay but, all in all, decent service and food and drink. read more

I visited on April 12, 2026 before a concert at Stage AE. I couldn't believe the great service. The bartender, Jessica, was so nice and personable and made everyone feel so welcome. The food came out so quick and was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality. I got the salmon with the shrimp add on and it was like something from a gourmet seafood restaurant. The location is perfect for anything going on at the North Shore. read more

Great service by Sky! 10 people in our party. Restaurant wasn't busy. Took a long time for kitchen to produce our orders. Everyone enjoyed the nachos, truffle fries, calamari, pretzel bites, wedding soup, and donut holes. My guest and I split a reuben and a "caprese-like" bacon grilled cheese with fries. Nice size portions. Would order again. Parked behind the restaurant ($12) and used the nicely paved well light patio to go to the restaurant. Given the closeness of my parking to the restaurant, I didn't feel unsafe walking in Northside after dark. read more

We came to Bar Louie North Shore for Thomas Jefferson High School's 25th Reunion. The place was spacious enough for an event like this. The service was good and servers checked us in and took care of our drink orders. The reunion included a buffet. It included pulled pork quesadillas, spinach artichoke dip, sliders, and chicken fingers. Everything I tried was pretty decent. read more

Do Not Go! Chose this coming out of the Pirate game based on no wait. My mistake. It wasn't crowded but as there was a line with game- seating everyone after slow Saturday is understandable for a wait for food. Table never cleared, apps were quick but food sooo slow. Dinner came out dribs & drabs. I ordered BLTA with chicken- seems kitchen messed up?! But as everyone was almost done eating before it came, they comped. It was terrible with burnt chicken & no avocado. Dinner was way overpriced- we were celebrating my daughter's 21st so I expected to pay for dinner. Drinks were weak & overpriced. Overall- Very disappointed. Several lessons- read reviews & don't pick the place with no wait. read more

Bar Louie - North Shore - Avocado? Burnt chicken. - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Wow. Awful on every level. Drinks sat on bar for 15 minutes. We actually went to get them ourselves. Food tol forever and was cold when it came out. Patty melt came out with cold piece of pumpernickel on top. never felt the grill. Final straw - waiting for Knicks playoff on ESPN amd told they didn't have ESPN. we left and went down the block. As some were filing out they put on ESPN. Manager said he Was in the back. Place cant last. Just awful. read more

So, our crappy experience with this place was submitted on Yelp on 8 days ago. 3 days later, they reached out and requested an email, and I promptly submitted a copy of my review and their response. 5 days later and nothing. Trying to make themselves look like they want to make things right or whatever, but this just shows how poor their management is and how it trickles down to the staff ( except for the male bartender)..too bad, just planning another road-trip for a Pirates home stand in 2 weeks... read more

Bar Louie - North Shore - View from our table. Cool looking bar. - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Do not waste your time with this shithole establishment. Food took 30 min+ to come out, waitress was too busy being the hostess to check on tables, when food finally came out my chicken tenders were burnt to a crisp and my side salad tasted like dirt or dirty water. Also $8 for LITERALLY a "side salad" that comes in a tea cup sized bowl. Asked for my tenders to be remade; after 15-20 min, they come back out half burnt again. Absolutely disgusting will NOT be returning to this nasty place!!!! read more

We needed a place to go before a trip to the Science Center so we thought their brunch would be a good stop for a bite to eat! Our server was training, but he was really enthusiastic to see us and help us! That was probably because our group of three made up the majority of the guests in the room. (Five patrons total?! That's crazy!) Also, the drinks he made us were great! Unfortunately, parts of the experience were not great. The food was okay, but everything felt overly fried. My husband went to the restroom and told the rest of us to not go in there because it was pretty gross from (what he assumed was) the Steelers game the night before. Because of that, we'll give it some time before we return. read more

Stopped here late night after a concert. They got extremely busy all of a sudden and the staff did an amazing job getting everyone taken care of. We had Kayla as a server and she did great. She did not have time to spend at our table but my wife noticed that every time she walked by she was visually checking on us. She's an awesome server keep her!!! read more

Bar Louie - North Shore - Had a patty melt, cheesesteak and chip dip appetizer. Food was excellent!! Trio Dips & Chips Patty Melt - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stood inside the front by the host stand, no one acknowledged us. We sat at the bar and flagged the bartender. We ordered 2 drinks and food. At least 2 other people got served before us. One of the people, who sat down a while after us, we had even given our menu to him to use long after we had ordered our food (1 burger, zucchini, onion soup). We asked more than once about our food and was told "it's coming". Just as we were going to cancel our order (since we had already paid) our to-go bag came out. The 10 minute wait for others was over a 40 minute wait for us. For our first time in Pittsburgh, we felt the people there for the Steelers game were nice, this experience was our worst in the city. read more

Stop 4 on a bar crawl gets 5 stars for being open till 2a and there were plenty of people there too. I wonder if bar crawls started since some bars close earlier than others. The bartender was awesome and we downed a few more until last call around 1:30a. read more

We went on a Tuesday night so it was fairly empty. We were greeted right away. We both decided on a salmon dish. He chose the French onion soup for a starter. I had a Caesar salad. Everything was good. The only thing I would critique is the need for some upgrades. The booths look pretty beat up. Other than that it was cool. read more

We stopped here for a last minute decision bite to eat. Have been here before. No frills- bar food, burgers, handhelds, wings, salads, etc Food was decent this time. The fried pickles were the standout and very good. We LOVED the spicy ranch. We dunked everything in it after our food came- both the fries and tots. Our burgers were good- huge! needed take out boxes to pack them up Good spot for a quick bite before or after a game, before a show, etc. read more

3 stars only because the tattooed bartender was busting her ass try to make it right. They place didn't seem adequately staffed and service was a bit of a challenge. read more

ZERO stars. Would not recommend under ANY circumstance. Over two hours to get two beers and a burger. Before ordering, I asked if I could get a burger cooked as I wanted it and I was told yes. I ordered a burger rare. When it eventually arrived, it was EXTREMELY well done. I would have gotten something different if I knew it wouldn't be cooked rare. Avoid this place after a Pirates game. read more

I want to start by giving huge credit to our server -- they were absolutely amazing. Attentive, kind, and doing everything possible to make the experience enjoyable. If this review were based on service alone, it would be 5 stars without hesitation. Unfortunately, the kitchen completely ruined what could've been a great night out. Every single plate that hit the table was cold. Entrees came out missing sides, and when we asked about them, it felt like they were forgotten entirely. To make matters worse, my entree never even arrived. The kitchen either forgot it, sent it to the wrong table, or claimed it got "ran to the bar" -- none of which made sense, and none of which got me my meal. It's disappointing, because our server was clearly working overtime to make up for the kitchen's mistakes, but there's only so much they could do. Cold food, incomplete orders, and missing entrees aren't things good service can fix. Until the kitchen gets it together, I wouldn't recommend this spot for anyone hoping for a reliable meal. read more

North shore establishment that is nestled in between the stadiums. Note street parking is available as well as lots for when it's not off season. Not a lot happening on the north shore tonight so lots of seating for happy hour. Got seated right away and our waitress can e pretty quick to get our di k order and go over the happy hour items for us. Drinks came .. everyone happy Ordered boneless wings... tasty Burgers come out ( you can substitute for chicken if you are like me and don't eat red meat). The burgers got mixed up as far as cooking time was concerned - the person in our party that ordered medium rare fit the burger of the other peso. Who ordered medium well. It worked out ... the food was all good and tasty. Not sure what they do with the tots but yum! Overall .. I thought we had a nice meal .. and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Would def go back. read more

We stopped in after the high school WPIAL football games for an appetizer and drink. It took a little bit to get our drinks and our appetizer. We got the chips with salsa, gauc, and queso. The food was pretty good but we didn't see anything else to make us want to stay for dinner. read more

I visited this place this weekend and let me just say my experience was horrible 0 stars!!!! First we were told that it was a 30 min wait for table, fine whatever but then people were just walking in and seating themselves and nothing was said to them. We ended up waiting an hour for a table. After that experience we told that manager and all he had to say was we don't have many waitresses and that he couldn't do anything about people seating themselves. So we decide to order, my menu was completely different from the girls I came with (I guess I had an old menu). I proceeded to order a vodka sprite with well vodka and a well done cheeseburger, the drink didn't even come out till the food came out which was 45 mins. I cut into the burger and it was completely pink in the middle but it would have been another 45 mins to get a new burger. Finally our checks came and my vodka sprite (well vodka) was $14 almost as much as my burger which was $16. This place has horrible service, food and drink prices!! This place is also a scam. read more

Truly the worst service I have ever experienced in my whole life . When we sat down our table wasn't even wiped, and then our server served us and didn't wipe our table until we asked. Our server had a 6 table section. Easily manageable. I waited 30 min to get a drink. Our service passed us multiple different times without giving us any service. No hustle at all. It was actually pretty sad how much someone sucks so bad at their job. I was given my first drink in a shot class. The food was great though, and Michael was so nice and amazing. I would understand if she was actually busy but she was chit chatting with her coworkers for 10 min at a time!!!!! They left tables dirty while they just chit chatted and sitting at a table. I am in view of 5 different dirty tables right now. And we have now not been checked on for atleast 30 minutes. I am seriously SHOOK. Will never ever ever be returning. read more

omg help us! We were seated and waited for 15 minutes before a waitress asked us if we were helped yet. Then it took another 20 minutes to get drinks and we're starting to wonder if the food will ever come. The beer tasted...ya know...like the lines had that yummy mold in them. So order bottles. Still waiting for food...and service. Don't come here read more

From service, to the food communication//timing to the horribly dirty men's room. This was just a miss today for a party of 5. Food was ok but they really need to improve operations here! read more

Servers/Staff were rude. It's dirty, unkept, and everything was messy. Nobody to greet us at the door. We almost left It was empty on a Saturday prior to the Pirate's vs Rangers game on June 21. Now I know why. Unfortunately, I ordered food. A cheese burger and they messed it up. How can you screw up a freaking burger? They did and I had to ask for condiments. Why should I have asked for condiments for a burger and fries and remind them that I should not eat A RAW BURGER Again it's empty for a REASON Don't waste your time or money . read more

This place was a shock! I've had drinks here before and wasn't blown away. But we stopped for lunch on a Sunday and wow! It was very slow (typical on an off season Sunday). Our server was very sweet and pretty quick. I got a spicy margarita which was good but nothing incredible. The food was the standout. We got the soft pretzel and fried pickles as appetizers. Both were incredible and we loved the jalapeño honey mustard. My lunch was a burger (can't remember which one!). It was absolutely delicious. The loaded tots were okay, I wouldn't get them again though. I look forward to going back specifically for those pretzels! read more

They have an excellent outdoor area keeping in tune with the north shore vibe. We were seated right in front of the speakers and at one point, they increased the volume of the music. Unfortunate as we had to yell our conversation to each other and didn't stay for long. We had bar bites of loaded tots and crispy calamari. Both were decent. I did like that the bacon was extra crispy on the tots. read more

Nice place on the North Shore by the stadiums if you're looking to grab a drink or bite to eat. The service is questionable. I was waiting to be seated for about ten minutes and workers were past me before a worker who was off the clock asked if I needed help. We also sat at the bar that was not busy at all and it took awhile for us to get service there too. Food and drinks are great though! I got a spicy watermelon Fresca and it was super refreshing. To eat, I had a hot honey flatbread that had bacon on it and it was also super good! read more

Bar Louie's happy hour is one of the best deals in the North Shore! All martinis are $7.50 and flatbreads are half off which is amazing as a broke grad student. It was pretty busy on a Friday evening when I came in and ended up waiting about 15 minutes for a table without a reservation ahead of time. I didn't mind waiting but after we were seated, it did take an unusually long time to have a server give us the happy hour menu and take our order. Besides that though, we had a good experience! I tried the chicago ave and effen good martinis, both of which were delicious! I also got the hot honey bacon flatbread to eat and loved that as well! I was pleasantly surprised by the good food and drinks here at super an affordable price! read more

I can not understand how you can run a restaurant with the lack of service you provide. 2 groups left due to not being served. After waiting for our server for 20 min was told they are behind. Waited another 20 to receive our drinks ... from another server. There is less than 20 patrons in the whole establishment I have sent email no reply... that response is to placate people to think you will do something read more

Service is terrible. Took time to be seated in an empty restaurant. The server came like 15 mins after being seated. Drinks took another 20 minutes to come out.. in an empty restaurant. Now I know why it's always empty, this place sucks. Kind of outside restaurants control, but also smells like sewerage. Save your time and money. read more

We waited about 30 minutes to be seated (a lot going on in Pittsburgh tonight) and then ordered soft drinks and appetizers. An hour later, our food came out. My chicken nachos were almost inedible - the salt on them was so caked on it was sparkling, almost as if the lid fell off of the salt while salting... on about half of the chips. I've never eaten anything so intensely salty, and I could only muster a few bites before I gave up. My husband got the beer cheese pretzels. The cheese was good, but the pretzels tasted freezer burnt. We would have been better off with stadium food. That said, our waitress was very nice and was the only high point of the experience. We won't be back. read more
