Chips, salsa, and avocado mash
Leslie H.

This is a great place to grab a beer downtown. The beer list is extensive and features a lot of local breweries. The waiter I had on my last visit was very attentive--he even brought our table more tots after he decided that my friend's portion that came with his burger was inadequate. I wish the food was better. The chips and salsa were bland and the king pao cauliflower was too sweet and oily. The tots were good, though! Overall the place gets the job done, but the food is average at best.

Smoked wings

Great food and service. I stopped in for lunch and this will be added to my lunch rotation when I'm working Downtown. The menu is extensive so they have something for everyone. I will definitely add them to my list if I come Downtown for a show, the drink menu was impressive.

Yummy! Best way to describe our meal at City Works. Miles made the experience very enjoyable. Great place to watch game and enjoy a meal!

Fish and FISH & CHIPSchips
Kyle C.

Service was lackluster, crowded seating and super LOUD. Over all very overpriced for what you get and it is college bar food at best with fancy words. The beer battered Cod was a small, grease soaked mess. The Cole slaw was kind of room temperature warm with a very light dressing and the fries seemed to be cooked at too low of a temperature and were really not worth eating. I was wondering why so many tables around us had fries left on the plates but realized as soon as ours arrived. No one at our table ate more than one or two. The cheddar Mac could have come straight from a box and the Steak Bowl was.....really a little steak tip with a side of rice and a side of broccoli. So a "deconstructed" steak bowl. A very large beer selection seems to be the establishments biggest draw.

Shrimp tacos
Chardae J.

I love this place. It's always so lively, the employees are always nice, and the service is quick most of the time. The beer selection is phenomenal. Shrimp tacos from City Works Restaurant Market Square They're crispy, saucy, and I loved the slaw. I am not a coleslaw person but this was an exception.

I have been here several times, and I feel this is a perfect 3.5 restaurant. It always has a clean feeling with tons of workers, but the food could be hit or miss. The last time we went my food was a hit and my husbands was a miss. We were here for brunch on Saturday with some friends to start a birthday celebration. We got two appetizers...fried pickles and the popcorn chicken. Both options were a great choice! My meal was so good. I got the BLTE with no arugula with the cheesy potato casserole. The sandwich was swoon worthy...loved the bacon and garlic aioli. My husband got a salad and there was some sort of herb that he really did not like...sadly at all!

Chicken and Chips sub Side Salad
Lynnann W.

Arrived near opening on a weekday. Within an hour it was packed with the corporate lunch crowd. Definitely popular with the locals. Our server Honesty was genuinely passionate that we also left in love with the place and assuredly we did. Loved the eclectic menu, the presentation of food and drinks, outstanding service, epic location in Market Square and the food was delicious. Perfect respite while walking Pittsburgh to thoroughly enjoy its people, local color, grand architecture and irreplaceable epic vibe!

Brisket Egg Rolls
Christina S.

Dined outside for lunch on a beautiful fall day. Our waitress Lachelle was a 10/10! My friend and I each started with a cucumber mule which was delicious and refreshing. We then shared chicken tacos and the brisket egg rolls. The tacos were really good, the chicken had great flavor. The egg rolls were good but I personally didn't love them. All in all would recommend this place, great beer/drink selection. Lots of TVs to catch a game, nice vibe.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ fries
Jeremy B.

7/29/25 Ate List: Grilled Chicken Sandwich - 8.4 A surprisingly solid lunch. When they opened, spot was less crowded than expected for a lunch rush. Portion size was ideal, flavors were spot on, and as a whole was a very solid first impression. If this was just a touch cheaper - this spot would become a near weekly occurrence for me.

SOUTHERN MAC N' CHEESE
Jayme B.

I visited City Works with a large party (16 people) on a Friday afternoon. We made a reservation a few weeks before our visit so they were ready for our party to arrive. The greeters and waitstaff were great for the most part. Towards the end, it took a while to get our check. But the food was good. I ordered a house salad and the southern Mac n cheese (no red onions in mine). In addition to the food being good, the location is prime and they have a great bar area to watch sports on.

Breakfast Tacos
Stacey B.

We ducked into CW during Picklesburg to cool off and grab a bite for lunch. Our server, Logan, was super nice and took our orders quickly. We tried three of their Brunch options: the classic breakfast, the chiliquillis and the breakfast tacos. The side of potato casserole was very delicious and heavy with cheese and bacon. The tacos had lots of scrambled egg, some bacon and smoked tomato with an extra add on of avocado that was pretty puny to be honest. They were good. Their espresso martini was very good, not overly sweet and their pickle martini was awesome. They always have an incredible beer selection too. This place is a solid and reliable option when you're in town and good for larger parties.

Outdoor Spaces

Located in Market Square, a large restaurant with tons of seating and a huge bar that offers TONS of drink/beer options. Not sure about parking as we walked there. There is some construction happening so things are a little out of sort with the square itself. We did have reservations as they were easily made on the website. However, not sure we would have needed them. The employees were nice and friendly. Not as attentive due to being busy. Food came out quick. Menu options are good. Things were tasty but nothing that we will talk about having to have again. Typical bar grub. Reasonable prices for what you get.

LaToya E.

Was staying nearby and needed a place to grab a quick bite before starting the night and this was perfect for just that. They had a pretty good beer list so we had a couple of flights and since i know what I like when it comes to beer I knew id be just fine. I was a little disappointed that I couldnt make my own flight, I feel like it shouldnt be hard to give people the choice but otherwise solid choice for lite bites and beers.

They are booked for reservations, but is there a bar where we can hang out?

They do have a bar.

What the distance between this business and Heinz Field?

A 25 min walk or take the tram at gateway center. That should take 3-12 min! Ha

Is there parking garage or lots nearby ? Me n my wife are going there in sept for a college reunion get together

There is some street parking on Wood Street and Boulevard of the Allies. There is a parking garage on boulevard on the Allies and one connected to the Hilton Garden Inn in market square.

I wish I had a picture from my 21st birthday on April 8th 2013. One of my best friends, Roman, took…read moreme here to drink. I remember the shock of seeing the beer menu, ordering a chocolate stout, and not being prepared for it! It was a great place to drink and enjoy the atmosphere of the sports on the TV's and sitting next to the windows. I will have to come back here soon, as I haven't been back since... This is a great place to make wonderful memories with special people. You don't want to pass this place up.

We stopped in on a Tuesday night and opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't busy. Something important to note is that when we arrived, the music was playing softly in the background. While the prices were decent, the service was not. Our waitress came over to us after our appetizers arrived, I asked for a refill, we made eye contact, she ignored me, and turned around. It took another ten minutes before I was able to get a refill, and she never asked again for the rest of the time we were there. The people sitting beside us arrived later and ordered similar food to us, and they somehow received their food quite some time before ours came out. I am almost certain the bartender forgot to put in our order. Halfway through our meal (which was okay at best), someone turned the music up so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm pretty sure "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" played three times in a 30-minute window. It felt like we were intruding on a private party despite there being maybe seven other people at the bar. Despite clearly being done with our food, it took us another 30 minutes to get our checks. If you're looking for cheap bar food and don't mind repetitive music at varying levels of volume and being ignored by your bartender, give Sidelines a try.

I can't remember the name of my burger but it was the one with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños and banana peppers plus a spicy mayo.

My first trip to Pittsburgh meant a lot of firsts, including my first meal in the city…read more After a 3:30 AM wake-up call and a flight into Pittsburgh, my 18-year-old travel companion Jackson and I were more than ready for lunch. Normally I travel with his dad so this trip was a little different. Jackson has heard plenty of stories about all the places his father and I have eaten over the years, so this time I handed him the responsibility of picking our first restaurant. Working downtown, we needed something close by and landed at RedBeard's Sports Bar & Grill. The short walk through downtown Pittsburgh was interesting, but the weather was another story. Hot, humid, and muggy. By the time we arrived, the restaurant was busy and only outdoor seating was available. We took a table outside but asked if we could move indoors when something opened up. Our server, Lauren, was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and she made sure we were well taken care of. I let Jackson choose the appetizer and he knocked it out of the park with the mozzarella sticks. Crispy on the outside, loaded with gooey melted cheese on the inside, and paired with a very good marinara sauce. Definitely a strong start to the meal. Jackson and I quickly came to the same conclusion: air conditioning exists for a reason. Patio dining has its place, but a hot and humid Pittsburgh afternoon isn't it. Thankfully, we were able to move inside once a table became available. For my meal, I ordered the Reuben, one of my go-to sandwiches whenever I see it on a menu. RedBeard's version didn't disappoint. Plenty of corned beef, good flavor throughout, and everything worked well together. I requested my fries well-done with no seasoning, and they came out exactly the way I like them. Jackson went with the Inside-Out Grilled Cheese and was thrilled with his choice. Judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say it was a winner. I don't know when I'll find myself back in Pittsburgh, but I enjoyed both the restaurant and the downtown atmosphere. Good food, excellent service from Lauren, and a solid first dining experience in the city. 4 stars from me. I'd happily stop back in the next time work brings me to Pittsburgh.
