The inside is dimly lit and has that gorgeous chandelier. There's bar seating, a few tables on the ground floor, and a few tables on a higher level.

I'm unsure why low reviewers complain about the smoke- this is a cigar bar. If you go to a cigar…read morebar, then expect smoke. It was exactly what my friends were looking for after dinner down the street. The cigars, drinks, were well-priced (although it is cash-only). The laid back vibe and tucked in booths were appreciated because we were in our own little world talking away. I don't have much to say about the bartenders because I didn't really interact with them. I think the only recommendation I have is to put the cigars in a humidor rather than a plastic bin. That was a bit off-putting.

Yeah, so, I'm not much of a Yelper. I don't get off on the thought of people seeing that I had a…read morebad experience at a place. But after about a month of severe internal struggle (divorce, CPS, the whole gambit), and at the behest of some caring friends, I finally feel compelled to tell my story. On March 16th, my wife and I were out celebrating Stone Cold day (and also our child to be) with some friends. We were all feeling okay, having an alright time remembering some of the Texas Rattlesnake's best moments of the Attitude Era at one of the least interesting spots the city has to offer. My wife's cousin ordered us all a round of shots (I must stress that this is the only shot my wife took, we're not monsters!) when shit suddenly got real. My wife, or, "ex-wife" I guess (gotta get used to saying that) just chased her shot with some of my IPA whenever one of the bartenders started squaring up on my wife's cousin. The bartender (some schlubby guy who kept talking about how his "night elf" was supposed to be selling iron ore on the auction house??) came around the bar, took his shirt off (unfortunately) and started yelling at my wife's cousin about something called a "molten core." This bartender called by wife's cousin a "beta cuck" while some old crone in the back (surely not unlike a harpy enemy in one of this bartender's favorite games) continued to squawk "NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE!!!" while feathers were flying everywhere and landing in patrons' drinks. It was at this moment that my wife went into labor. The bartenders were super pissed off that her water broke everywhere and that they had to do something besides flex and yell at people. Now I will say, they all did there part to help make sure the baby was delivered safely. Even the crone I mentioned gave us one of her nests to place the fresh babe into (shocker!) But, to my surprise, my sweet baby son wasn't in that nest for more than four minutes when the aforementioned bartender started calling my newborn a "beta cuck." Then the other male bartender came around, also took his shirt off, and started trying to challenge my newborn to a fight. I got the sense that the two bartenders were in the same fantasy guild, but I don't know for sure. All this to say, were it not for a bunch of man-children running some kind of excuse for a bar, I'd still have a wife and a child. My newborn child has more balls than any employee here does. Mardi Gras?? What an insult.

Yes, they have a beautifully curated selection of…read morebeer and wine but they also promote a community-first experience and encourage folks to sit at their big table and enjoy wine in store so that's what we did! Parker was kind enough to pick out a red and white that everyone would enjoy and the owners were so generous they gave us free chips and also samples of some vodkas and other drinks! Seriously the hospitality here was so special and absolutely created a homey and fun vibe while also keeping prices low because they don't charge a corking fee to drink their wines in store! The five of us drank two bottles of wine and it was only $8 a person and these were good quality wines. So much fun!

We stopped by on Wednesday night around 10pm during their soft opening. We aren't hookah smokers…read morebut wanted to support a locally owned business, especially since they're taking over a space that has been vacant for years. They have coffee, tea, mocktails, and it's BYOB and we brought along some beers. The inside has a pretty big bar area, seating on a comfy couch, and some other chairs. There is also an outdoor patio in the back. The inside is moody without being too dark and has vibes reminiscent of a jazz bar. We talked with one of the owners, Max, and we chatted about all the work it took to revamp a space that had been vacant for years. Max was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about hookah and wants to turn his space in a community third space with lots of events. The staff was really nice and their grand opening is this weekend with live jazz. Wishing them success!!

They do a seasonal rotating menu. I wish they served alcohol, but it is byob, so that doesn't really matter. Other than that I'll definitely go back. It was not your standard Pittsburgh experience for once.

I went to Title 9 for the Steeler game that was played in Ireland. Because of the time difference,…read morethe game was at 9:30 AM and Title 9 opened up early for the game.

They collabed with Square Cafe (which is next door) for some food and drink specials. Title 9 is a neat place to watch sports. Will definitely check it out again.

Kelly's is a great place for veg-heads and one of the few places that has Happy Hour on Saturdays…read more We had a hard time deciding what to order, which is such a treat.

Simplistic, covered parking with a large parking structure attached to the restaurant. Elegance encapsulated with the high ceilings, modern fixtures, and classy atmosphere. The food is next level. With so many awesome small plate options, we decided to get drinks and share in the opportunities. This may be of benefit, as Palm Palm brings out food when it is ready instead of waiting to serve a full course to a party. Let's review the small plates: - Roasted Broccoli Caesar - roasted tender and perfectly coated with the brioche and parm - Focaccia Bread Board - fluffy, salty focaccia with somewhat simplistic board options of butters and jam - Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings - easily our favorite bite!! Served in a spoon with creamy soup floating a perfectly filled dumpling of cheese goodness - Truffle Spaghettios - hello childhood, you missed the mark. These spaghettios may have you thinking nostalgia but the flavors are stellar. - Mini Lobster Rolls - chilled, copious lobster on a buttery crisp roll... shhhh they brought us a second one for free!!! - Waygu Meatballs - the plating is top notch. Little meatball holders to allow the French onion to soak in and the cheesy to perfectly melt across them all. Melt in your mouth meatballs with seasoning to make your want another! - Classic Oysters - a nice starter for the birthday boy! For drinks, we loved their homemade sodas - Lemon Ginger, Strawberry Passion Fruit, & Sunset Fire added the perfect sip between bites! And of courseeeee... you need desserts! Why not turn them into shareable small plates too!! - The Orange - levels of orange flavor perfectly paired together with sweetness to enhance the palate and enjoy! - Dark Desire - rich, dark chocolates with flairs of chocolate work. So goooood!! - Key Lime Pie - wooowww citrus overload. But so moist and yummy. Our waitress was phenomenal. Giving great suggestions, ensuring we always had dishes cleared and glasses filled... and even telling us menu changes that made some dishes not worth it anymore. Wow!! This is celebration station too! With the sparkler extraordinaire almost every table was celebrating someone or something while we were there. It's no surprise that this place is, was, and will be a trendy spot in Pittsburgh!!

've been coming to this bar ever since I moved to Pittsburgh, and I've never experienced anything…read morelike what happened last Friday (January 30th, 2026). My friend and I come here every Friday for happy hour. Over the past few weeks, we noticed that our tabs didn't seem to match what we were actually drinking, so this time I decided to ask for our receipts. That's when we saw we were both charged for shots of Espolón tequila--something neither of us ordered. I was drinking margaritas and always ask for well tequila in mixed drinks. This makes me wonder how many times we've been charged for drinks we never had. Completely unacceptable. When we brought this up, we were told to speak with the manager to correct the tab. He was extremely rude and immediately accused us of ordering the shots, even though he wasn't present. He was more focused on watching RuPaul than helping. He then claimed my card had been declined weeks earlier, which forced me to call my bank and dispute a double charge. Thanks for the extra hassle. You come here expecting a good time and leave not wanting to return. Management clearly needs to address issues with staff to prevent this from continuing. That so-called manager has no business working in customer service. I've only seen him on Fridays and Saturdays--about 5'10", skinny, wearing sweats and a gray Carhartt beanie. He's always rude, but this encounter was beyond the limit. This happened around 9-10pm in the middle bar. If you decide to come here, be careful and always ask for your receipt--otherwise, you may end up overcharged.
