Our 8yo had the margherita pizza-- she enjoyed it, didnt complain about any burnt-ness on the crust-- phew! For cocktails, husb had the Midnight Library & he loved it. A very balanced tart & sweet drink. I had my cosmo- it's usually a hit or miss but this was one of the best from this bartender-- I hope she's always there. For meals: husband ordered the smash burger- he said it was moist& juicy-- it wasn't weighed down w/ so much meat. I had the Library Steakhouse sandwich-- sooooo good!! The steak wasnt tough thank goodness & I felt the horseradish go through all my sinuses-- they could've lessened it a bit on the s/w but overall great w/ the caramelized onions & the pepper sauce. I will order this again. In the past we've tried all the pizzas ((except buff)) & I'll say they ARE good, seconded by the hubby. Our go to for date night- cocktails & a pizza.. you can't beat that! I've tried The Great Gatsby cocktail, Black Beauty, Atmosphere, lookin' to try Curious George next. They were all great!! Husb has tried The Catcher in the Rye, War & Peace, Bridgerton& he gives positive reviews, but he still sticks to Midnight Library. Also, they have happy hr Mon-Fri: 4-7p. Great place, must come.

I got a side of Caesar which was just what I needed. For my entree, I got the craft blend smash burger and truffle fries, which were absolutely delish. 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! Overall I'm impressed! Two of my friends got pizza, and one got the steak frites, and it all looked so good and they were satisfied! Loved the book decor/dark library aesthetic so much. Our server was really sweet and on top of everything.

I was there on a Wednesday for their wing special, I had been before and the wings were overcooked…read moreand dry. I thought I would give it a 2nd chance, but no change. The small wings were completely overcooked and the skin was very hard, it almost shattered. I eat many wings at many places and these were not very good. Maybe people don't complain because they are 69¢ each. I would rather pay a little more and have something enjoyable. It wouldn't take much effort to cook them properly, most other places do. The night I was there, service was terrible. One bartender taking food and drink orders, putting it in the computer, picking up food, washing glasses, delivering food. On top of this my order was incorrect., twice! I was hoping my small neighborhood place would be a frequent place to visit, but it failed twice in a row.

My bun unfortunately became very soggy. I still ate the dog and it was solid. French fries were average, but the wings and onion rings were excellent. Lots of sauce and rub options. Service was quick, and the waitress was on it! It was busy and our food came quickly, and our large party was well cared for. It's a small place but I could still have a conversation with everyone at the table. They even allowed for us to bring in the birthday cake. Over all a nice place to try a verity of hot dogs and other "bar" food with some nice nightly specials.

Made my first visit to The Village TapHouse on a Wednesday evening this past August. I love any…read morekind of Bingo, and I saw on Facebook they were holding their monthly Bar Bingo on this night. So, I made my way on over. The Village TapHouse is located in the South Hills Village Mall area, but a little up the road from the actual mall. It is tucked away in the rear of the building located on the corner of Washington Road and North Highland Road. The business that is visible from the main intersection is Clubhouse Cards. If you follow North Highland past this entrance off of Washington, The Village TapHouse will be on your right. There is some limited parking right in front of the entrance. However, since there are a lot of other businesses around here, you can find other parking across the street or before the actual entrance, regardless of which direction. I had no issue getting a spot right across the street, and making the short walk over. I arrived that evening around 7:00 PM, as that is when the Bingo was slated to start. There were a good amount of people attending the event, as the indoor main dining area was pretty much full when I arrived! No issue for me though, as I was by myself. So, I found a seat at the bar. There were several other patrons sitting at the bar, but it was not shoulder-to-shoulder or anything like that. There is also some patio seating, but I do not believe the Bingo was heard out in that area. Once situated, I went up to buy my Bingo cards from the two hosts. They were set up in the main dining room, but were using microphones. I had no issue hearing them all night long from the bar. It was $10 for a pack of 3 cards, and I purchased 2 packs. They also had daubers for sale, but I brought my own to use. I waited around for the games to start once I bought my cards, which ended up being around 7:30 PM. It was also Pajama-themed Bingo, which I was unaware of until I arrived. This allowed you for a special perk for one of the games. I am not sure if they always do this, but I would advise participating in whatever theme is advertised to get the most out of your experience. There were a few bartenders serving this evening. The lady who waited on me was prompt and friendly the whole night. I started off with a pint of FireWistle Red. It was a solid red beer, and served as a nice sipper for my evening. As the Bingo went on, I decided to put in a food order. I ordered a Half Dozen Wings in the Chicken and Waffles Wet Rub. I thought this was a unique flavor, so I wanted to give it a try. I enjoyed the taste of these! They were split wings, but overall the size was serviceable. The plate also had several pieces of celery and ranch dressing to accompany the wings. The food here was fairly priced. For my 6 wings and beer pint, the total was around $15. It seemed from the menu that the majority of entrees were $15 or under, which I believe is a great deal. Overall, no complaints in terms of prices or value. I ended up staying here for nearly three hours in order to finish the Bingo games. So, I had plenty of time to take in the atmosphere. I enjoyed the people, staff, and the overall vibe of the place. The patrons were friendly, and the staff seem to recognize their regulars while having meaningful conversation. Plus, the Bingo games brought some fun and entertainment to the night overall. This first visit of mine to The Village TapHouse was a positive one. Very much enjoyed the people, atmosphere, food, and fun Bingo activities. I cannot believe with how close I live to here that it took me this long to give it a try. Now I am happy to know there is a spot like this practically in my backyard. I have seen on Facebook that they also have Trivia Nights, so that is something I want to check out in the future. Even though I did not win Bingo this time, it will not stop me from coming back and trying again. I would recommend stopping here for a meal, or a fun night of entertainment, if you find yourself in the South Hills Village area of town.

Alas, on our last trip there, there were only 2…read morepeople behind the bar on a busy Saturday night, and all food and drinks had to be ordered at the bar. So service was very limited. In terms of food, the standout dish was the basket of French fries, with the creole cauliflower bites in close second. My friends ordered the nachos and they said they were good. The bummer dish of the night was the Mac and cheese with bacon--it came out as a congealed, unappetizing blob. My friend who ordered it described it as "dry." I hope the next time we go there will be faster service and wetter cheese.

Brillo is super chill. Visited with my bro a couple nights ago and had some snacks (onion rings and…read morebuffalo seitan wings) and beers. It's just an awesome place to hang out. The service is great and staff are super friendly. I highly recommend the onion rings. The seitan bites were ok, I probably wouldn't get them again. Beers were priced as expected. I'd say that Brillo is a place you go for the vibes more so than the food. Also super queer-friendly. When I was in college about 10 years ago, Brillo was our de facto lesbian bar and it seems that the inclusivity has not changed since then.

So I don't want to bash this place too much cause we where rushing to get to a show and could only…read moreorder salads and soup but even that was enough for me to know, this place ain't special. Nice waiter, but it took 30 minutes from when we arrived for us to be seated, order our drinks, and get them (this took the longest). The food was meh. I guess I just had higher expectations. My 'veg' soup was actually a bean soup and had zero condiment...no chz, no crouton, no herb thing...just soup. My dates French onion had two slightly melted slices of cheese...no dark brown coloring on the cheese. This would be an execution problem. My salad had 4 ingredients- greens, squash, nuts and blue cheese...I've seen more complexity and flavor from a eatnpark salad bar. We wanted to order oysters with trout row but was told they were out of the caviar. I will say, the two cocktails we received were very tasty. Enough to bump this from a 2 experience to a 3 . I would definitely go back for drinks and maybe some apps but I'm nervous about the main dishes being underwhelming...we'll see, maybe one day The ambience and views are impressive. Not great service, and not great dishes leave me thinkings even the entrées are gonna be a let down. Sorry

We were told we had to go up to the bar to order but someone from the bar came and took our orders. The person who carded made a big deal about carding us and would remark on our ages which was kind of weird. We got our drinks and while they were on the pricey side, they were pretty good. The lounge area has a nice fireplace which was cozy.
