I mean $16 for a full smash with fries is just unheard of these days! I got the Polish Hill which has caramelized onions and pierogis it was AMAZING! The patty was crisp and still juicy and the onions were perfection. I upgraded to the rosemary fries and they were delicious! I got the strawberry way blonde ale and I was SO excited it wasn't a sour lol. I do enjoy sours but can usually only drink one. This was so smooth and not overly sweet it was so refreshing! 1000000/10!

Typically i'm not a pickle fan but their pickles were nice and crunchy and their fries were seasoned well. The service was quick and fast.Although I did get it to go it was a nice sized place where I could see myself having a beer. The biggest downfall to me is that it was 17 dollars for a burger and fries.

Better than bar food! Group of us came here for food and drinks. Friday night and not super busy…read more(yet) so they seated us right away. The drink - damn was that a smooth old fashioned. Notes of spice, wood, nuts, and slight fruit. The taste was great, but just smelling it was pretty intense. The salmon dish was great. The ginger carrot mash was seasoned and puréed enough that it didn't taste like eating just carrots. They cooked the salmon too perfectly to my liking. The service was excellent too - laid back, friendly but they didn't play either about getting your order on time. Solid bar/restaurant, 8.5 / 10.

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 .

The Nashville Hot was perfect and had a great backend kick but that Nobu... that's the one you want. Spicy mayo, eel sauce, jalapeños. Insane Tied for 2nd best wing I have had. An absolute perfect cook on the wing and the sauces are immaculate. Cajun was my favo, then the buffalo parm. I do not like BBQ Wings or habanero. I fucking loved their bbq habanero. The burger ??? That was just a "alright let's try it" and absolutely rocked us. Idk if they have a charcoal grill back there or what but that was bbq cookout style on steroids with the perfect cook The cheese logs. Mozz, provolone, and Parmesan. Perfect blend with a perfect breading The Star of the show. One of the greatest bites I've had. This motherfucking CRAB RANGOON FRIES. Everyone needs to try these. Just got her and get these if you don't like anything else on the menu. All loaded friends should have waffle for the base now. Can never change my mind. Perfect for scooping and you want it for those ice cream scoops of cream cheese Man... I can't wait to come back to this one. The entire staff is awesome. Owners, runners, bartenders etc. TONS of TVs so if you wanna come for games this will be a great spot for that. Good size bar, few high tops and booths in the back. Has a nice outdoor seating selection as well

We have had so much fun on the barge with friends…read more It's such a fun vibe with great drinks, great city views and fun places to sit. This year they moved it down closer to PNC Park. I love trying different drinks there. They people wait on you are always happy and friendly which is refreshing. Such a fun place to go have drinks with friends in the spring and summer.

I have visited Shore Thing twice now, and it's a great spot on to enjoy with friends on a warm day…read more The view off the water is beautiful, and the hammocks they have are fun to sit on & be close to the water. 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.

So have you seen that meme out on the InterT00bZ that's like "Hey let's go to that new beer place…read morethey have $27 warm hazy IPAs in the middle of a parking lot?" Yeah, that's the vibe I was getting at Velum. There was a lot to like and a lot to not like about this place, so I'll start with the bad and end on a positive note. First off, it's in an old brewery and it looks like a warehouse. I'm not sure if they still brew their own beers but it straight up looks like an old warehouse. I've seen abandoned warehouses that look less like a warehouse than Velum. Maybe some people like that vibe but I felt like the cops were going to bust in and shut the party down like a teen coming-of-age movie. The taproom is all the way in the back, and so are the bathrooms, so if you break the magic circle, prepare to get your steps in. There's no kitchen. They DO partner with a food truck but they're getting their own review. I paid $10 for an average cocktail and $8 for a 12 oz cider that frankly wasn't that great. Either better drinks or bigger drinks, please. And everything is community seating. I don't hate the idea but I didn't care for the vibe so when I found a smaller table my friend and I grabbed it and boarded it. With that being said, there was a lot to like too. First off, we were there for a pinball night, and they have a great selection of pinball tables there, both classic and modern. I really would have liked information on joining a pinball league, but that wasn't offered anywhere that I could find. Plus on that particular night it was $10 for all-you-can-play, so we definitely got our money's worth there. The staff that I did interact with were super nice. That goes a long way and saved this from being a worse review. And the place is dog friendly, which is always a huge plus for me. All in all, I had a decent night. But the question as always is if I'll go back. Unfortunately, probably not of my own accord. If there's another pinball event, I'll definitely go, but it's not going into my rotation of cool spots. Not every place is meant for me, and that's fine.

As a pickleball sports place, I'd give this place a 3. You are able to book indoor courts, but…read morethere is only 3 available-- 2 side by side and one perpendicular to it separated by a net. However, the floors are insanely slippery -- to the point that if you were playing quick plays or rapidly accelerating, I would be extremely cautious. Additionally, it's not clear when the floors transition from the smooth, slippery surface to a rough concrete where you could catch your feet. Between the 2 side by side courts, there's also a random pot hole/divot where you could easily roll your ankle. However, this brewery also offers exciting other experiences: arcade games including ping pong, pinball, etc., rock climbing upstairs, live sports TV, and obviously drinks as a bar. As a multi-faceted facility, there's a lot that you can do here. They also have a bunch of colorful murals, like the one of Mac Miller (rip) and of V for Velum. There's also free parking outside the facility and by the apartment complexes.

Lagerlands is a socially distancing pop up beer garden located on Pittsburgh's Highline…read more It's a joint venture with local businesses that include Cinderlands Beer, De Fer Coffee & Tea, Hop Culture Magazine. Food is available for purchase from a variety of local restaurants as well. The beer, cocktail and food menu does change. Reservations with a deposit are required. You can choose from seating along the river level or highline level. Deposits are applied toward your order. This is an absolutely wonderful concept that is well needed not just in this time of a pandemic. The crew involved really has it down and it's an organized process. Sitting outside at a safe and social distance enjoying local food and drink just doesn't get any better. I especially love that they've included De Fer (one of my fave places) for those who may not want a beer or cocktail.

They spared no time getting us our food so that we could see the fireworks downtown, they easily divided our order into separate checks despite the size of our group, and they even gave one of my friends a band aid when a glass shattered. Mind you, we're a group of teenagers, so getting this treatment from a restaurant was pretty special. The food itself was also amazing. I recommend the burger with pork belly on it, but everything that everyone ordered was spectacular.

The people with me liked the pretzels too! For my main, I got the coughlin burger with a gluten free buns. They aren't able to make all their burger options gluten free because of some of the sauces and stuff. The burger was still good even if it fell apart a bit due to the bun.
