    My go to number one spot in Pittsburgh. It truly never disappoints! Cocktails were delicious (red sangria for the win) and the Steakhouse Burger and Chicken Tenders are our go to picks. Service never disappoints. We have been so many times and every single server has been incredible. Food comes out super quick maybe 15 minutes average. And nothing beats sitting on the back patio with the beautiful city view.

    Loaded Nachos* Pulled pork

    This atmosphere there when it's warm out is amazing. Sitting outside with a drink is my favorite. The service is good, I think the food is a little overpriced, but worth it for the atmosphere. I always get an extra side of queso with the nachos, they tend to be a little dry. Good chicken fingers

    Grapple Burger
    Brian H.

    I've been here multiple times but this is the first that I've seen a holiday design. They have a really cool keg Christmas tree outside with lights. They have indoor and outdoor seating and lots of TVs if you want to get a drink at the bar or come to watch a sports event. They also have a car lot across the street for parking. For a table of four, we had roughly a 30 minute wait but it was also a busy Saturday. Appetizer wise, my friend ordered the pork bites and was super happy. I had the brisket potato soup, which I found slight chewy for brisket. Entree wise, the table had the Mac n cheese, fiesta chicken sandwich and grapple burger. Everyone at the table was more than happy with their meal and my friend even said he planned to come back to try some other items on the menu.

    I've driven by here many times and didn't know how nice/big it was inside. I went with a friend for lunch on a weekday and it was fairly slow, I like that as wanted low key. They decorate so beautiful for fall - I wish I took photos. We sat on the patio and it was a beautiful day for it with a stunning view of the city. Had nice cocktails and beers, Brussels sprouts appetizer was tasty! Meal I had half rack ribs, sweet potato tots and cucumber salad (I liked the sides the most! The tots and salad dressing were so good!) Tip: entrees are not available during lunch time, only salads, bbq, sandwiches and appetizers. I think this place is slightly underrated. Love to be back for dinner. Service was great as well.

    Full loaded nachos with a sprinkle brisket. Brown sugar, apple daiquiri and I hate the browns ale 22 ounce beer.

    Ashley could have been a tad bit more interested. Bummed the menu is not the same as north hills who rocked on the pizza. We had loaded nachos with brisket. It was like finding Waldo! Brown sugar apple daiquiri and I hate the Cleveland Browns brown ale. Totaled with top $50. Nachos were good just disappointed we paid for a sprinkle of brisket

    Pumpkin flight at Coughlin's
    Tony D.

    It was a beautiful fall afternoon in Pittsburgh and we wanted to sit in the sun and have a bite to eat and a drink or two. Our waitress Angela was super nice and attentive. We had the pork egg rolls and they were delicious. My bride had a nice vodka cocktail and I had the pumpkin flight. Absolutely loved it. I had the pumpkin flight of beers. Each was very tasty. The dark beer came with a Rum Chata topper. The middle beer had a good local made pumpkin Cooke and the one on the right had a nice sugar spice rim. I suggest going there soon before they run out. Great place to spend some time at.

    Do it for the view

    Thought this would hit the spot of smoked ribs. Some was premade, slaw was made with little flavor, not to be enjoyed solo. The bbq sauce was nice, smoked. Cornbread would have been nicer warm the refrigerated butter was nice looking. *Hoped it would of been (whipped honey butter)* Views of the city assisted with the surrounding landscape, kept the table at the corner of the patio. Service was decent, very friendly server. Parking disclaimer: we were here at 7pm and parking was full but got lucky finding something near by and walkable. Don't be deterred, just be prepared.

    French Fry Flight*
    Jenn S.

    Came to Coughlins for Galentines Day! Reserved a table for 6:30 and got here a little early. We were able to wait at the bar until the table was ready. I got the Spicy Gaucho Steak Sandwich. The taste of the sandwich was amazing but it was too soggy for me to pick up. I ate it with a fork and knife. I wish there was more meat too because a lot of my bites were just bread and veggies. I subbed mixed greens as a side because we got the French fry flight as our appetizer. Fries were good my favorite sauce was the balsamic Dijonnaise. The mixed greens as a side was average it had a vinegar type dressing on it which I enjoyed but kind of plain.

    Once again, Coughlin's was amazing! I went away from the burger that I typically get and got risotto, and it was so good!! The crab rangoon nachos were to die for, and our cocktails were through the roof. I can't wait to go back again!

    Peach mule

    My organization, Pittsburgh Girls Who Walk, went to Coughlin's for our monthly happy hour, and we could not have had a better time. Mules were on special for $6, so we tried every flavor variation, and not a a single one disappointed. The bartenders are all so sweet and so attentive, and we felt so well-attended-to. We shared the pub pretzels and the French fly flight, and everything was delicious. The house made sauces that came with the fries were excellent, and each was unique in its own way. Everything was reasonably priced, and I love that they have their own parking lot on Mt. Washington. We will definitely be back!

    Strawberry Mango Salad
    Julia E.

    I met friends at Coughlin's Law around 7pm on a Tuesday night. Parking was a challenge. There is a lot across the street for the restaurant, however, it was full. I ended up parking a couple blocks away at a garage. It was easy to get a table. It was a nice night so both indoor and outdoor seating were available. They have a good selection of drinks and food. I went with one of my favorite drinks (dancing gnome lustra). For food, I ordered the strawberry mango salad. It was good but I brought some home and it didn't transfer well for a leftover. Our waitress was great- friendly and attentive. I thought the menu was reasonably priced. Overall, Coughlin's was not my favorite restaurant in the area. I wouldn't necessarily seek it out but I wont say no to going back. :)

    All American Burger French Onion Dip Grilled Cheese
    Sierra D.

    My boyfriend and I went and sat at the bar for the Steelers playoff game on Monday. All of the bartenders were very friendly and as attentive as they could be for having a packed bar. One bartender let us know all drafts are $4 on Mondays, so we tried a couple of Coughlin's original beers and they were all smooth and delicious. The food was even better, with the highlight being the French dip grilled cheese (I got an extra side of the garlic horseradish crema for my fries... definitely the way to go!) I finished off my meal with an espresso martini, a little creamier than I'm used to, but a welcome change from the norm. The Steelers may have lost, but at least we had a great experience at Coughlin's to make up for it!

    Drunken apple burger
    Nick H.

    Food was great. Service wasn't bad. Beer selection was delightful. Just don't ask too much from their kitchen. They don't like changes, alterations, or creations. Guess the customer is always wrong during brunch ?

    This is a side salad!

    I wanted to become completely absorbed into this roof top Pittsburgh restaurant / bar…read more Unfortunately, I left not having the best experience. I came here on a Sunday at about 1pm. We sat outside, which was first come first serve. It took awhile for anyone to approach us but I was in the restaurant industry for some time so I surely realize it happens for many reasons ! My friend ordered two speciality drinks which we were then told they didn't have the ingredients to make those cocktails...Okay - it happens no problem . We then ordered food from the brunch menu ( also out of the first item we asked for , there are only about 6-7 items on that limited menu). We asked if the regular menu would be available that day and we were told "no not on Sunday's." We proceeded to order and consume the hot honey chicken and waffles( good but not much of a hot honey taste and be aware it's BONE IN chicken), French toast with berries ( delicious ), and the shrimp and grits (made to perfection). I ordered the Texas medicine beverage , which was exquisite! (Tequila cocktail, Pictured). We also had the Petal and Pearl , gin and procecco cocktail ,not pictured but very good as well. After we ate, we moved to the bar to grab one last beverage. Again, it took quite some time for someone to approach us, which was odd because many of the girls were making eye contact but walking by us. Finally a gentleman with curly hair came over to take our orders - thank you. We noticed people at the bar were eating wings and food that was not listed on the brunch menu. When I asked how they ordered that, they said the regular menu starts at 3 on Sundays! We were extremely disappointed our original server did not tell us this nor was enlightened that the menu was released at a later time on Sundays. Concerning. It was nice to sit on a roof top in Pittsburgh on a sunny day. They have the atmosphere done with perfection. The food seemed delectable and the beverages done with beautiful presentations. I really hope to give this place another chance and revise my review !

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Very impressed by their craftsmanship and experimental flavors. There's not many places in this area that even attempt to do that. I love the speakeasy vibe. Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way

My second drink was the Heated Rivalry (rum, strawberry puree, lime, hot honey, simple syrup) which was unfortunately a little too sweet for my liking, but still refreshing. Incredible name though!
