I eat a lot of hot dogs! So I think I can be a fair judge. But if you are going to serve a Chicago…read morestyle hot dog then I think it needs to be made correctly. They didn't have onions on it and they didn't have pickle spears on it. The bun was a potato bun with poppy seeds like stuck to it. But the bun was soft and good so I won't take points off for that. Was it my fave hot dog? No but it was okay! The hush puppies were good though. The service was great!

We got the Steak Cibatta and Burger of the Month (Two Smashed Patties, Bakers Thick Sliced Bacon, American Cheese, Fried Egg, Garlic Mayo, Martins Potato Roll) and both were delicious! Steak was cooked perfectly and the ciabatta roll paired perfectly. Burger was basically a breakfast burger but had THICK slices of bacon, almost like pork belly, which was unique. Add a side of hush puppies, didn't know I could get them so good up north!, and we will be coming back for more soon!

I've been to cigar lounges all over the world and this is a unique and special place. The decor is quirky but cool - in a sort of unthought unintentional way. The people are great. Everyone in there from the staff to the regulars acted like they'd known me their whole lives. The cigar selection is great and the prices are so cheap you wonder how they're making money. Then the jewel in the crown - the sandwiches. Oh - my - gosh! Hands down the best pastrami sandwich I've had in my life! With a side of sliced pickles no less. It's a little off the beaten path if you're a tourist, but if you're in town - GO! Trust me! It's incredible!

Was staying nearby during the picklesberg festival and decided to eat dinner here. They had a…read morespecial festival menu that we ordered from. We got the pickle burger and pickle wings both with hand cut fries. The only thing pickle about the burger was that it was supposed to be cooked in pickle butter. I didn't taste anything special about it and it was really overcooked. Otherwise it was a decent burger. The wings were really good! Think lemon pepper but dill flavored. Really tasty. Service was alright but not spectacular. Ambiance is fine. Very loud inside but it is a bar vibe so that's to be expected.

They were kind of slow near the end. They also charged $3 more than the menu for soup, but it…read moredidn't say it on menu or if it did, the waitress didn't mention it. The soup was terrible but the sandwich was ok.

I never could understand why people eat outside in downtown places where cars drive by them 5 feet away. The beers were OK, nothing really special but OK. They have a little bar outside so getting a refill was quick and easy. The don't serve any kind of hard spirits. My wife isn't a beer drinker so one of the bartenders at the inside bar mixed her up a drink with seltzer and something else(tea) which she found to be quite tasty, so i tipped her generously for having the ambition to please a customer. Where they fell down IMO was their pizza. It just wasn't very good. We had several versions of their Sicilian to choose from. The cheese was generous, but the crust was doughy and heavy, the sauce was flavorless, and the toppings were very stingy. A big piece of Sicilian pizza with 3 slices of pepperoni is not good. I checked out their menu and was stunned at the prices they are getting for those pizzas. WAY overpriced. Of course i didn't have to pay for them since it was a party, but knowing what their pizza is like i would never go back there and pay those prices. The wings were just OK, pretty mediocre. Parking is a joke. No where near enough spots for the size of the place. Overall it was just OK, i would not return. There are better places for the same or less money.

BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

One of the owners stopped by to check on us as well. We will be back soon.

The food was good, just a standard hot dog so nothing spectacular, but it fit the vibe! The pineapple margarita was wonderful, perfect amount of sweetness. As for service, initially we were served very quickly, and did not have a long wait time. When it came time to order another drink, the line was extremely long and moving slow so I did not get another. Beware that if there are other events in the city like concerts or baseball games, lines might get long. Overall, a nice spot if you're just looking to chill out, maybe play some card games and enjoy the company of others.

It's beside Cafe Monaco and if it's busy good luck finding a spot nearby. I went mid day on a Sunday and after some circling the block found a nearby spot. I think the venue itself is very nice. It's fresh looking and inviting. Because it was one of the warm days recently they had the whole front opened up and that was nice. It seems to have a hometown client base, I say that because everyone seemed to know each other or at least someone else there. They had a food truck setting up when I was there but I don't try it. The selection, while not huge was solid. I decided to try a DIPA and a TIPA and both were decent. The folks working were accommodating. If I get back over that way I'll be sure to stop by and try another drink or two.

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.
