Walking in the girl who greeted us was so sweet, she scanned us all in and was truly pleasant and seemed to enjoy her job, wonderful first impression! The lounge was quite big with multiple rooms, a full bar, bathrooms/ showers, the food offers were not a ton but what they did offer was good, great salad bar, which i really appreciated after eating out for the last few days I needed something green! A few soups, spinach Artichokes dip with chips, and perogies! Yum! With all the fixings too, onions, bacon, sauerkraut and sour cream. So good! Lots of space to sit and enjoy, plenty of plugs to charge up too. Great way to spend you layover.

Visited this lounge when visiting Pittsburgh prior to our morning flight…read more It was easy to enter with the priority pass and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Ample seating was available initially didn't see the large open area where the bar is Food options for the morning were decent. Got a bagel, muffin, yogurt, and they had sausage, egg, hot oats, cereal and drinks available and a soda fountain for other drinks. They had a full bathroom too which was neat. Overall a decent place to hang out before a flight.

This airport is built for efficiency. There is a…read morethree-tiered deck outside. The higher deck is for drop-offs, the second deck is for pick-ups, and the bottom deck is for something else, maybe Ubers or shuttles...not sure. There is plenty of space in the airport for when it gets crowded, and the whole place is very clean. Families walking by with worried fathers, little girls with monkey backpacks and one shoe untied, middle school kids trying to do their part to help out. The loudspeaker system is very clear, and all announcements are heard, whether they pertain to you or not. Apparently, they have a policy of no check-in until 2 hours before your departure. This gives you about 90 minutes to get through TSA, and find your gate, get something to eat, go to the restroom, etc. It punishes those who come early. I don't see the logic in this. Also, the attendant who told me was less than polite about it. Overall, the airport staff is friendly, and answered any questions I had. The TSA line went quickly, and I got to get a bite to eat with plenty of time to get to my flight.

I finally made my way to PIT to catch an early morning flight to DFW recently. I'm not a fan of the…read morenew parking lot system at all. The shuttle drivers I interacted with both times were friendly. The names of the stops just did not make sense. Do the names Champions, Bridges, Robotics, etc. identify lots A, B, C, D, and the numbered sections? Quite a few passengers are walking all over the lot trying to figure out where they get off the shuttle, and the location of their vehicles. Not good. TSA for early morning flights is still long, and not as smooth as it was before the remodel. The gate areas are still pretty much untouched. And of course, the tram is gone along with the airplane that hung over the TSA area in the old airport, along with T-Rex. I did spot Franco upon my return through PIT which was a highlight. Exiting the shuttle parking lot with pre-booked reservations there is no information stating that the QR code wasn't needed, and that the gate would just open to let you exit. I spoke with the attendant over the intercom who told me to just go. Is the system that advanced a ticket or code isn't needed to leave? Minor things like this were annoying, and don't make the experience better than the old system, IMO.

I was traveling with a friend who flies a lot so he got me into the Admirals Club since my…read moredeparting flight was four hours after his. After you pass through TSA, take the elevator up one floor and the entrance is literally right next to the elevator. There is a good amount of seating including tables with chairs and more importantly very comfy wide chairs, each of which has side table space and plenty of electrical outlets. There is a long table with chairs that spans the whole length of the outside looking window where you can watch planes coming and going to their gates. The left side of this long table also has partitioned spots for working with a computer with a little privacy and there is also a multi-function printer available. It was very quiet and it would have been easy to fall asleep. The restroom was spacious, clean, and very nice looking. There is a full bar and drinks are free, but obviously leave a nice tip for your bartender. I had a spicy Bloody Mary to start the morning ahead of a long day of multiple flights. There is a menu which you can order food from, but there is a very nice complementary spread of both food and drink. There is a soda machine, water with lemon slices, and various teas and coffee. I arrived as they were switching from breakfast to lunch. There was assorted fruit, a salad bar, charcuterie, chipped beef, pasta, a few soups, and a bunch of snacks and desserts. This was definitely a much nicer spot to hang out for four hours than sitting in the terminal.

The women's bathroom was clean and stocked with lotion and soap as well as pads and tampons. They also have a quiet area which is comfortable. All the seats are cushioned and comfy.

We came to Pittsburgh while they were hosting the D2 March Madness in 2026, and thanks to my…read morenephew's team bringing us out here, we were able to uncover this gem of a cigar lounge. I've been to quite a few cigar lounges--and even worked at one--so I have a good sense of what makes a place stand out. Burn by Rocky Patel did just that on every level. The ambiance, décor, cigar selection, and service were all top-tier. It's a classy lounge with a twist of sports bar energy, which made it both elevated and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day, and they had live entertainment--a violinist playing along to hip hop and R&B--which created such a unique vibe. Kayla, the bartender, let us know about the live entertainment the day before, it wasn't posted on their social media or website. She was attentive, sweet, and made excellent drinks. Evan, who was working the cigar side, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and communicated well with customers even during a heavy flow. One thing that really stood out was the crowd--mixed ages, mature, and plenty of ladies confidently partaking in the beautiful art of cigars, which I loved seeing. Even if you don't smoke cigars, the vibes in this place are worth the visit. If and when I return to Pittsburgh, this place is a must. It's also within walking distance to the stadiums, which is a huge plus. Feedback for management: The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the disconnect between locations and social media postings. There was an event listed on the website that wasn't actually happening at this location, while an amazing event that was happening wasn't shared online; which would have been a shame to miss. It may be worth considering in-house social media and website management to ensure updates are accurate and timely to the specific location.

I was excited to find a cigar bar downtown where I could hang out with a few friends after dinner…read more It's a great way to thin the crowd a bit. This place seemed inviting, however, the service was non-existent. It was actually kind of busy and the bar was full (not packed). Many of the sections were roped off so there was juts one table open near the front of the store. We sat there with no table service at all. They could have made some money from us but nope. Other than the guy at the front door who was just "find a seat" and not helpful at all, and the guy in the cigar shop, who was one of the few helpful people in assisting with the cigar purchase and cutting of the cigar. He offered to light it, but that's half the fun, so I declined. Apparently, the bartenders have lighters too but I couldn't find a place to sneak in and get the cigar lit and also buy a drink. Luckily, someone in my party had a lighter so I just used that and hung out. A drink would have been nice, but not necessary. After this place, we went to a few more bars in the area where they actually served their customers. What a novel idea, right?

Funny enough, while we…read morewere getting coffee earlier that morning, one of the bartenders invited us to stop by later, not knowing it was already on our post-dinner itinerary. The cocktails were creative, playful, and impressively strong without sacrificing quality. I had the Seoular Flare, which had a noticeable kick but was still very drinkable. It came with BBQ chips, and when our bartender--the same guy from that morning--noticed how much I loved them, he brought me extra. Such a thoughtful touch. The rest of our drinks were equally inventive and well-crafted. I admittedly had some doubts about whether the creativity would translate into cocktails that actually tasted good, but they completely proved me wrong. A fun concept backed by genuinely great drinks and hospitality.

She offered to make a chocolate martini I said ok that sounded good. My husband ordered a beer. Two minutes later. The waitress came back, and asked what we wanted to order. We were so confused . We ordered again acting like she didn't just take our order 2 minutes ago. I actually ended up changing my order and asked if they had a "house" pilot grigio. She said yes. She asked if we were going to order food and we said just drinks tonight. 5 minutes pass and she brings a large appetizer to our table. I said we didn't order this. She asked if we talked about it though . We said "no" we were never ordering food. I was so taken back by this experience I wanted to cash out after our drinks. I headed to the bar and asked for our bill. We were going to leave cash and leave because the whole situation was very uncomfortable. (Thinking 20 would be enough for the drinks and tip) We finally get the bill and the house wine is on there along with the beer. The total was $37 for 2 drinks. How can a house wine be $17 for a glass? As we left, the whole situation didnt sit right with me. I called later to ask how much a glass of house wine was and the person that answered stated $9.
