Staff is pleasant and I love that they have specials on weeknights, like $1 hot dogs on Mondays. The space is pretty big depending on how busy it is, but it can accommodate big groups easily on a casual weeknight.

Heard good things about the food at New Amsterdam! I saw their food truck they had in front of…read moreVelum Brewery, and the food looked and smelled amazing. They had a heated rooftop and DJ at the bottom. There were two bartenders working when I went. At the front, they had a wheel you could spin for $8 for a randomized drink. They also do trivia on Tuesday I believe. I got the curry poutine fries, which I've gotten from another restaurant before and they were amazing. I think this place puts a lot of sauce and cheese on but I think it would taste better if it had the curry on the bottom and had crispy fries to delay the time they get soggy. It was topped with green onions which was nice and a good fresh flavor addition. It's a huge platter of fries for $16 though - great to share for a group. I think their wing deal is worth trying - 10 wings for $15 and a MYRIAD of flavors to pick from.

We were able to sit wherever . Our server was not super attentive. We had to flag him down multiple times for different things (to place our order, to ask for silverware, for the check, etc). The food was good. I got the pork belly bites and the Mac and cheese. The food was good, but I didn't probably would just get food at their food truck in the future.

The menu is short, but that's when everything is outstanding. I had the veggie frittata. The vegetables were the perfect bite, not soggy and not too crunchy. The $5 Bloody Mary was spicy and loaded with olives, celery, lime and...MINT! This was new to me and added a whole different flavor. Yum! They also have $5 mimosas. One thing I especially love is their VERY nice gated outdoor area. We brought Rooney and they were extra dog-friendly. The bartender stopped to bring him a bowl of water and say hello. I think it would be an fun afternoon/evening stop if you have kids because if the safety of the gate. If you like Cornhole or giant Connect Four, you're golden! A (kind of) hidden gem in Lawrenceville, off the main area, so easier parking. You'll know it by the beautiful murals on the front of the building, across the street from Allegheny Cemetery.

Plus, I haven't been to an actual event at the arena since it first opened & this bar is located on 5th Ave right behind PPG Paints Arena. A bunch of us gathered here before & after a concert at the arena & what a great place. Old school Pittsburgh bar, with friendly staff & when crowded the patrons spill out onto the street. The bartender even offered me a free beer since she told me I was waiting too long (I actually wasn't) & the owner, Jim, gave us bar logo tee shirts when we came back after the show. A couple days ago a friend of mine from Chicago told me that this bar is in his top five bars in the USA and that he used to always visit here whenever he came to Pittsburgh! It's a popular gathering spot before & after hockey games & concerts.

Neighborhood smoking bar with Fox News blaring on a large TV in the corner. Wasn't for us, but may be a good choice for someone else.

Except for how the Pirates are doing and what should be done, which most of us Yinzers agree on anyway.
