Stopped by for a late night drink and this spot never disappoints. The bartenders are incredibly talented and kind. We had some questions about different ingredients in the drinks and they thoroughly explained everything to us. We tried a regular old fashioned and the pig roast. These are typically not drinks I would go for but WOW incredibly delicious. Definitely a fun spot to branch out and try something new. We will definitely be back to try some of their food, but highly recommend for some good cocktails read more

We've been to Bridges & Bourbon twice now. The first time, we were seated in one of the outdoor igloos with a party of 4. Unfortunately, it felt very cramped and we really struggled to fit comfortably. We were told there weren't any other tables available, so we ended up leaving. We decided to give it another try and made reservations for inside seating next to the bar. This experience was much better. The drinks were very creative and tasted great. My main course -- the tenderloins -- was cooked well and overall very good, although it came with a berry jam that felt a little odd for the dish and wasn't really my favorite pairing. Overall, the cocktails and atmosphere inside made for a much better second experience. read more

We stopped by Bridges & Bourbon downtown for happy hour before seeing a show. The inside, especially the bar, is beautiful and classy and they have a very reasonably priced happy hour menu with both food and drink options. I couldn't resist a couple of their non-happy hour drinks. The quality of my drinks made the price point worth it for me and I know I'll be back! read more

Not quite what we expected by the name and the online pictures, I think we expected to see the bridges!! It's a small intimate bar and eatery in an odd location for being upscale. The homeless folks passing by looking and standing in the open windows was a little bit unnerving since we were in one of the window seats! Our server was attentive but lacked any recommendations other than happy hour and even seemed a little offput when we asked questions. We ended up just going with the old fashioned, which was pretty standard, and the shrimp. The shrimp was gross! Frozen shrimp, taken out of the freezer, dropped in boiling water for far too long, drizzled with a minimal amount of butter and served room temp. They still had the water scum on them! Not one of the better experiences we had in Pittsburgh, too many great places for this one to be recommended. Sorry! read more

Bridges & Bourbon - Fries and Champagne - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Decided to check this place out for happy hour on a Friday after work. I went right when they opened and just sat at the bar. The bartenders were super friendly and served you right away when you sat down. They also asked if you have any allergies which is different but such a nice touch just in case you are allergic to anything. I tried the old fashioned first and they were so delicious!!! Then I tried the bourbon smash which was ok, but went back to the old fashioned. It was just that good! I only got an appetizer of brussel sprouts since I was planning to eat elsewhere later on. The Brussels were good as well! All of the staff members were super nice and definitely engaging throughout the evening. The ambience was very inviting and cozy. Loved the outlets and handles for bags as well. Nice touch! Overall I will be back if I'm in town and hope to bring my friends next time. Thank you! read more

I easily made a reservation on Resy the day before we went. We were greeted warmly by the host and seated promptly. The restaurant is on the smaller side and we were sat by the door which kind of sucked bc it was cold outside so every time the door opened it was chilly. The restaurant is also extremely dark. I get ambiance and intimacy, but imo the lights need turned up a bit more. They don't have menus, you're to scans QR code. Our waiter was attentive and the food came out quickly. My fiance ordered a chicken dish that was really tender and flavorful. I ordered the scallops. They were perfectly cooked and paired well with whatever it came with lol Overall the food and drinks were good but the portions are small by American standards so you will be hungry later. read more

Bridges & Bourbon - Butterfly Effect - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Bridges and Bourbon is the perfect place for a romantic date night or dinner and drinks before a show. I appreciate that their cocktail and food menus are seasonal so there is always something fun to experience. The classic cocktails are always a hit but challenge yourself to try something unique. The menu has allergies clearly marked and I was thrilled to get a chimichurri burger on a gluten free bun (one of the best buns I have had). My husband's salmon was also incredible. I look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu. read more

I had a great time here! While I'm not a whiskey lover, there were still a plethora of options for non-whiskey drinkers. And if you are a whiskey/bourbon lover, you have to come here! It was also a lot calmer than some of the other places on Penn Ave for a Friday night. I got the Fig Around and Find Out cocktail and it was made well but a touch too sweet for me. The bartenders were friendly here. I'd enjoy coming back on a Friday evening. read more

B&B brings a cozy ambiance great for a relaxing conversation with a nice drop of bourbon. The burrata was fresh and the bread chips were toasted to perfection (not too hard, fresh and lightly oiled). You will definitely enjoy the smash burger! Get a double and eat the first few bites with a fork! So good Parking on street is tricky so have a game plan for a nearby parking garage, I went to a PGH Parking Garage and it was $8 for the evening, easy. read more

This was my second time at Bridges & Bourbon (my first time was 3 years ago). Their cocktails are stunning! The bar is gorgeous! My fiancé and I walked in for drinks after going to a show at The Benedum on a Saturday night; it was 11 pm and we easily got seats at the bar. The staff were all very kind. We only got one drink each. I got the "Afternoon in Kyoto" under the craft cocktails list, which was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful! My fiancé got the "Millionaire" under the classic cocktails list, and he enjoyed it! read more

Bridges & Bourbon - the Kyoto drink - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place was on the walk back to our hotel from the Pirates game. We dove in on a whim and because we were craving steak. Ambience was good. Chill but not trashy, clean but not uppity. We got the angus tenderloin served with broccolini and an au poivre sauce, which is like a cherry brown gravy. Simply perfection. Service was great, nothing bad to say here. Enjoy! read more

Had a couple drinks at the bar, and we were then going to get a table for dinner. After a couple of drinks we decided to go somewhere else for dinner. If you're going to charge that much for a martini, at least use high quality olives and olive juice. The bartender was not very friendly, and it was hard to get their attention, even though they were not busy. They were too busy standing around talking. The whole vibe was very boring. read more

We've been to Bridges & Bourbon many times as we love the vibe and style of the bar and restaurant. Sadly, we were disappointed with our entrees this time around. My salmon was overdone, while the rice it came with was underdone. My husband's burger was fine, but the teriyaki sauce was very thick and almost tasted burnt. Our cocktails were delicious and the side of sweet potato waffle fries we split were delicious! Overall, we'll continue to come for cocktails, sides, and desserts. Unfortunately, dinner let us down this time. read more

Amazing spot Good drinks great ambiance Service was prompt and attentive Would check this spot out any time I'm in Pitt read more

Tasty cocktails with style! While they're a little pricey, you're paying for great presentation plus a great ambiance here, so it's worth a stop if those things are important to you. Our kept up with the busy night and offered great recommendations as well. read more

Bridges & Bourbon - Black swan - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Food and cocktails were amazing, and are why I'll go back. Solid, innovative tastes, and super reasonable pricing. And the only reason why this has three stars instead of one. From seating to *any* food appearing took close to an hour. I don't know if the kitchen was just having a bad night, but to be sitting with almost no updates until we started looking annoyed and flagged the server down was ridiculous -- and even then we still had to have them cancel the salads because there would be no time to eat both salad and entree before we absolutely had to be out. (And the server knew of our timeline when we sat down and said it would be easy to make.) I'll be back to give them one more chance, but for their sake, it's a good thing the quality of the food compensates for the kitchen's poor timing. read more

OK, so initially we started off with like the Caesar salad and the mozzarella cheese thing it was a very basic nothing spectacular for entrées. We went ahead and got the burger. I will have to say was more decent. However, it's a Smashburger and it was basically burnt hard I didn't care for it and I wouldn't have it again from this place. but the only reason why I'm gave it 2 stars is because the waffle fries were absolutely delicious!!!! It's nothing like I've ever tasted before. it's like a spin with a little bit of sugar and some like honey drizzle it's weird but really good. The desserts were. big flop . they had some. I think it was like cinnamon cake look at the picture below Epic failure. But I will say out waitress was so nice and so she bought like the chocolate mousse and that was decent. It had cherries in it but honestly, I would only come back here to get the waffle fries. read more

Atmosphere was cool. Food was fine...neither bad nor exemplary. Admittedly, we only had smash burgers and the fried cxn sandwich. We didn't try anything of greater preparation though we had the Brussels sprout shareable and it was great! Service was decent but did feel like the waiter was always looking for the up-charge. Not sure why but it annoyed me that they brought the check in this cheap balsa wood box. It looked like someone got a wood burning kit and tried a Pinterest project for their kids. Again, I'm not sure why that bothered me. It just seemed like a good idea that missed the mark on execution. read more

My wife and I dropped in for dinner. We have eaten in a lot of fine dining establishments, and this was definitely in the top 5. Drinks, food, and service were all great! read more

Excellent, innovative and one of the best bars I've been to! Any other bar pales in comparison whether it's DC, Nawlins, Seattle, Chicago, London or Paris, etc., this was very inventive. Service was just as excellent as their cocktails. Ambience, you say, this was perfection! Ugh, I want to keep it to myself but it's hard to stay mum about such an amazing bar! Reminded me of Seatlle-Bellevués Civility & Unrest and the Sovereign in Asheville, in that order! This one tops in my unbiased opinion! Kodus to our waitress who recommended and assisted with our choices. Wished we had more time... A return visit a must! Until then! read more

My fiancé took me out to dinner here for my birthday! We sat in the outdoor pods which were pretty neat and something different. Our server was fantastic. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We ordered the lamb pops for a starter, and they did not disappoint. For our mains, we got the crab risotto and chicken ballotine with brussel sprouts. The brussels were out of this world! The risotto had great flavor and a fair amount of crab. The chicken was decent - I thought it was a tad on the dry side (though it was probably just the prosciutto). All in all, a wonderful night with fun cocktails, stellar service, and yummy food. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Stopped here on a Friday night while on a weekender trip. It came up on my searches, and as a bourbon enthusiast, it made sense. The ambiance is very dark and intimate, I really liked the ability to toggle the brightness of the table lamps, that was huge. Bright accents and gatsby-style fixtures inside, a variety of seating options We sat and order a few drinks - I went with the old-fashioned. It was good - though they didn't really splash too much in the glass - portion was small. We shared a baked Brie board which was good - came with a variety of breads to dip in and the apple Butter was a nice touch. However, the bag that the Brie came in was unnecessary. Just take it out so the customer doesn't have to interact with it like we work there. I was a little frustrated with the menu - a nice mix but seemed very light. Small place, keep it simple I get it. But if I'm getting a pork chop, something is missing. Jokes aside I went with the bone-in chop. The pork chop was good - moist and tender. It came with broccolini and a sweet potato mash. The mash may have been the most flavorful item I have had in a long time. Plenty of flavor profiles explored on the plate - overall good. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake - which wasn't, more like a no-bake cheesecake torte in a cup. That's a big no-no for me. Cheesecake is meant to be baked and in slice form! Would recommend. Would return to explore bourbon menu only. read more

We absolutely loved our visit to Bridges and Bourbon! We weren't able to get a reservation, but when we walked in a few seats were open at the bar. The bar was beautiful. We loved the decor and ambiance. Service was amazing! The bartenders gave us some recommendations based on what we were looking for. Their old fashioned was great! The bathroom was also really clean and had a bouquet of roses, which was a nice touch. read more

Best cocktail bar in Pittsburgh. Come for the craft cocktails and stay for the posh bar and aesthetics. It's a classy place, but doesn't at all feel stuffy or snobby, which at times, can be the case for cocktail bars. I dig it. We visited Bridges & Bourbon as part of our bar crawl and this was the last stop, so we ended the night with a bang. At a certain time, the kitchen closes, so don't come here the last hour if you're expecting food. However, they do serve food during standard dinner hours. I ordered a seasonal cocktail, which had pumpkin and spice flavors and was served in a bird glass. You really can't go wrong though with any of the cocktails here, which are made with a lot of love and pride. It's pricey, but it's pretty standard pricing for craft cocktails such as these. We had a lovely time here, and our server was friendly and happy to make recommendations. I'd definitely come back when I'm in Pittsburgh. They accept reservations, which you can easily do online, so recommend doing so during dinner hours and with a group. The place is popular for good reason. Love the libations here. read more

Love the vibe here with plenty of seating at tables or the bar. Our waitress was outstanding! The drinks were super fun and delicious. The food however was lacking in my opinion. I got the smashed wagyu patty with pastrami. I thought it was dry and overcooked. The salad was tiny but tasty. Overall I would be back if only for drinks! Not many gluten free options either. read more

I'll preface this by saying that we did not eat here. We stopped in on a Monday for a Birthday drink before heading somewhere later. The hostess, waitress and manager could not have been any nicer. We ordered an espresso martini and an old fashioned. Both were extremely well crafted and delightful. Evidently, the waitress told the manager it was one of our Birthdays so they brought over a glass of Prosecco or other sparkly libation to toast the occasion. How unexpected and appreciated. We'll definitely be back for dinner! read more

Simply the best place for raw oysters in all of Pittsburgh, and we have been trying them all. My lady and I have quickly learned that west coast oysters are more meaty and tasty. More expensive too but soooo worth it. Ernest, the barman, brags about making the best Old Fashions period. We took the challenge and lost. Yes, Ernest does, in fact, make the best old fashions we've ever had. And it's quite a show watching him make each one. We have become regulars here. So don't steal our seats at the bar :-) read more

Found this spot randomly on Yelp and decided to give it a shot after seeing the cute outdoor seating. We had reservations and originally had booked for outdoor seating. The restaurant called the day of in the morning to confirm our reservation and mentioned that there is a 200$ minimum if sitting outside and my wife wanted to sit inside as it was cold, so I was able to get them to update the reservation. We got there and got a table right away. The vibe of that place is really good. Felt like a dark cigar lounge minus the cigar. The place was packed but still had room. We tried a few of the things on the menu. The steak was great! The smash burger is the best burger I've tried tbh. Like nothing fancy , just a simple tasty burger. The sweet potato fries were awesome as well! One of my favorites! The Brussels sprouts were good too! Like all the food was great and we were like we should make this one of our to go spots for food! The drinks were ok. I feel like the old fashion could have been a little better with a stronger bite to it. The gold rush was decent nothing to brag about. But we did see ppl ordering other drinks that looked fancy! So definitely will be back to try the other drinks and flights! It was a great dinner and we will be back! read more

Bridges and Bourbon has nice ambience (navy walls with gold accents). I stop by for happy hour. I didn't try a drink from the happy hour menu. I tried one of their top selling cocktails with just called the butterfly effect. I want the owner bought it out. He totally caught me off guard. It comes on a wooden tray with hot rice with lemon juice and there's a skinny tall glass and you pour the lemon juice in it. The presentation is so DOPE! When he came out, everybody kind of stopped to check it out . It literally felt like I was in a science class. I did get some bites from the happy hour menu . I had the charcuterie board. It was pretty tasty. My friend had the mushroom burger which was soooooo delicious! His burger was packed with flavors, the mushrooms and caramelize onions were much on point. The service was A-1. Shana was my server she's AMAZING!!! She's the best.... very polite, she engage with us, she explained everything that was on my board, and, made suggestions. After we left . Olivia was nice enough to give me a call on the phone. notifying me that my friend left his glass water bottle behind. read more

I had a lovely first experience at Bridges and Bourbon. The space is modern, elegant, and inviting. I sat at the bar, and was so kindly welcomed by the bartenders. Special shoutout to Taylor, who made our drinks like a pro. I learned he was new to Pittsburgh, and I hope he sticks around because he makes a great cocktail and is proud of his craft. I tried the White Sands and the Butterfly Effect. I really enjoyed both of these, as they were on the sweeter side. And the presentation on these drinks was above and beyond! I also took a sip of the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot- if you like whiskey, you'll enjoy it, and the Purple Haze- this drink is strong and you will for sure be tasting the liquor. The couple at the bar next to us said to order a Last Word, so we did just for kicks. I took a small sip and it wasn't my cup of tea (too herbal for my liking), but glad I tried it! I look forward to returning here, as it is a beautiful, elevated space downtown that makes a great spot for a date night, girls night out, or a celebratory drink and the service was out of this world. The bartenders were beyond attentive, interactive, and happy to serve us. Will definitely be back! read more

This was a nice place. The vibe was vibing. (I didn't say that) I enjoyed the option of a flight of bourbon for me who is still new to the game. There was one that I did prefer out of the 3. I very much liked the scallop meal and recommend it. They sat us right away and the only thing was I felt that my larger winter coat was getting in the way. I wish there was a way to not feel so in the way of these small cute places. Check out the photos. read more
