The place really seemed to be well run, with bartenders who really knew some detail around the various whiskey options available. They made some recommendations for me, and I got a chance to try a few new things. Food was good, but this really isn't a food destination. There were a few vegetable forward options on the menu (but only a few). Even so, the vegetables were fresh and the food was generally good. In any case, I can absolutely see myself stopping by on a regular basis. This place had a really good vibe.

The vibe is always relaxed and welcoming, the kind of spot where you can actually settle in, talk, and enjoy the night without feeling rushed or packed in. The drinks are consistently solid. You can tell the bartenders know what they're doing and actually care about what they're putting out. Whether you stick with a classic or try something new, everything we had was well made and enjoyable. The staff is what really makes this place stand out. They're friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely know their craft. They make great recommendations, explain drinks without being pretentious, and make you feel taken care of without hovering. By the end of the night, it just felt like another reminder of why we keep coming back. If you're in the area and want good drinks, good people, and a place that feels right, this is absolutely worth stopping in and hanging ou

I tried a few of the IPA's and I was very satisfied to the complexity of the beer. I live in the West Coast so it was nice to try a different version of an IPA. They also offer cocktails if beer isn't your thing. The staff on both visits were polite and helpful.

The inside is huge with a good variety of picnic tables, high tops, and bar seating so it's a great place for a large group. They also have a spacious outdoor patio as well. It was pleasantly cold inside and I was glad the AC worked well, even with their high ceilings. They don't seem to have food there besides a few bags of chips behind the bar for purchase. I did see someone bring in a whole pizza so I'm assuming it's bring your own food. There's no table service and you wait in a designated queue at the bar to order. They take Apple Pay which was really convenient. They have a variety of different beers and cocktails. I thought my two beers I got were pretty reasonably priced. Live band karaoke itself was really fun and our group enjoyed it a lot. Sadly, it emptied out quite a bit throughout the night except for at the end when a large group randomly came in to sing the final song with everyone. Not sure why it was so slow since it was so fun!

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.

Perhaps now that I said something he'll think twice next time about assaulting a patron but that remains to be seen. If you're stuck in Millvale for a bit Smokey's is a much more interesting and welcoming spot, but after a drink or 2 there just cross the bridge to Lawrenceville or grab an uber to Pittsburgh proper.

If you have your expectations realistic, knowing this is a dive bar primarily for cheap drinking (not dining), you will be fine. Street parking but there's lots of it.
