We stopped in on a Monday night. The bartender was super nice and the drinks were super cheap! I was shocked when I went to pay for the round how cheap it was. They have a big screen tv that had Monday night football on as well. The other side of the room has some dartboards.

Rarely have I had such a wild swing from amazing to meh when visiting a restaurant multiple times…read more The last time I was there, the service and food were excellent. On my more recent trip, the service was terrible and the food was delicious but overpriced for what we were served. I think the bartender had friends there the night we visited because she talked to another couple sitting next to us at the bar and largely ignored us except when we flagged her down. We ordered the vegan drumsticks, and were surprised to only get three--they were not very big but one of the most expensive appetizers on the menu. They were really good but I won't pay that much to get them a second time. We were going to order an entree, but it took so long to get the server's attention that we asked for our check and went somewhere else for dinner instead. Then I noticed a discrepancy between the beer price showing on their beer list and what we were charged. I tried to tell another person behind the bar about it and, as it turned out, he was the bar manager and said he doesn't deal with checks and we'd have to talk to the server about it. So rude, especially after we had been neglected by the other server for most of the night.

This is your typical Pittsburgh neighborhood bar. From the exterior, it definitely looks like it…read morewas once a home and when you walk inside, you definitely get the same type of feeling. Now it's important to know that this is a smoking bar. While there is ventilation and it's quite good if I say so myself, when you have multiple people smoking cigarettes as well as cigars, you're bound to smell like smoke when you walk out. With that being said it is tiny. There are a few booth areas and a few tables but most of the seating is primarily at the bar. They Have multiple different beers and ciders on tap. I was very very happy to see that they had bold rock cider available. They also have a full bar so you can craft whatever cocktail you may want. Prices are super reasonable as well

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.

If you moved to Pittsburgh from somewhere out in Pennsyltucky and you're missing that specific kind of mood you get walking into the local, smoky ramshackle bar on the edge of town filled with seasonally laid off farm workers who look like Duck Dynasty characters trying to find happiness at the bottom of a glass of Jack Daniels or Bud Lite while being served by a bartender who looks like they'd rather be sitting in a deer-huntin' stand, you want Lou's. Even in the very small space Lou's might have to offer, once you've walked through that door, it's like you've left the city and gone back out to the country without even having to step in your pickup truck. Sometimes, in spite of my best efforts, I find myself in that kind of mood, where that's the kind of thing I want. And when I'm in that kind of mood, well, there's one place you go - and that's Lou's.

Unless someone were to tell you these would be some of the best wings you'll ever have you would never think twice of going in here for them This is me telling you these will be some of the best wings you'll ever have Meaty and fried to perfection with a perfect crunch. The wing itself, the best I've had. The sauces on them were ehh. Not the best by any means but not bad to where it will ruin the wing for you I would tie these with Nox's because Nox's buries them with the sauces but Gooski's has the edge on them with the wing cook Cigs inside as well. Without even smoking in there you'll come out smelling like a dart. Can always order to go if that'll bother you. No waiters either. You order at the bar
