I haven't been here in years but the food was just as good as I remember and the service was great. I was first sat by the window in the main bar and it was so loud that I could barely hear we asked to move and they moved us quickly to the back bar area, which was nice and they checked to see if it was OK we said yes, but they still offered us the very back room that seemed like it was for private parties and that's where we ended up moving to. They turned the volume of the music lower and even adjusted the heat as it was just the two of us back there the waitress was still very attentive and helpful although she could have easily forgot about us. I was sold on the chai apple martini, even though I was hesitant because it felt more like a Christmas drink and it was February, but it was delicious and I got another one. I ordered the pork chop medium well the sauce was delicious. However, the pork chop was dry. I still ate the whole thing because the sauce and everything accompanying it was amazing. My friend ordered the pesto pasta, which I tried. I really enjoyed it too, especially the Barrata. his steak was also ordered medium well and was drier than my pork chop. I couldn't eat it, but luckily it was not my meal. He did didn't seem to mind too much. The vibes were high all night, even though we were in the back partly because of the waitress, but mostly because of what seemed to be almost a Rihanna only playlist lol read more

We have been to the Urban Tap twice in the last two weeks. Let me say what I love: good quality food and so many beers on tap. We have come for lunch and dinner and both are great. Their beers are excellent; I am an IPA guy and they always have two beers on special. Last time I got a decent IPA, 20 oz worth, for $5 because it was a special. My wife and I split the chicken sandwich and they divided the sandwich and fries on to two plates without asking. Their fries are really good; their fries are fresh cut and perfect. The environment is quiet and not rushed. Service is very good. I can say that we will be regulars here; close location and nothing to tell me to go elsewhere. read more

The Urban Tap - Ginger Sesame Grilled Chicken - Gastropubs Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Wonderful local brewery with great food. Been here twice in a couple weeks. First time was for dinner. We tried their burgers and loved them. Their Brussels sprouts are so delicious. This time we came for lunch and split a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Loved this as well. Their fries are amazingly good. Whether you sit at the bar or in a booth, their service is great. Try their beer of the month. At five dollars for 20 ounces, it's a great deal. read more

One of my friends and I grabbed dinner here for 4th of July and it was delicious. Our server was super attentive and made sure we were doing well throughout our time in there. The General Tso cauliflower was delicious, with good flavor and great portions to share. I had the Big fish on a little roll sandwich and it was delicious. We also had an assortment of drinks that were all really good! read more

Our server was so kind and accommodating, his suggestions were perfect. We sat outside which aren't the most comfortable seats. And with how it spaced on the sidewalk, it can get awkward sometimes if there's alot of pedestrians. Food was pretty good. Got the salmon eggs Benedict and the fried capers were added the perfect texture and flavor I was hoping for. My partner got the short rib huevos rancheros, and the meat was so tender and flavorful. My only disappointment is that the potatoes don't come as a default side. But they were amazing so make sure you order them! read more

We came here for brunch with a group of friends. Service was really great and she was really attentive. My boyfriend is always nervous to try chicken and waffles when it's one big chicken breast but he said it was 10/10 and the chicken was juicy and tender. I got the burger which was okay. Server was really sweet when I asked if I could get my egg fried because I forgot to ask prior to ordering. Overall we had a fun time and will be back! read more

The sandwiches are big portions and really tasty, and they always have some fun theme or specials going on! With super friendly staff, it's my go to for drinks in the area. read more

The atmosphere was great but the service wasn't. Food took a long time, waited almost 45 minutes after our appetizers came for my entree. we ordered one entree. and we placed the order for the appetizer and the entrees at the same time. It was trivia night which we didn't know so that could have been part of the reason service was a little slow. But, overall we had a good time spending time with friends and enjoying the night. I would go back for drinks and apps. read more

We absolutely loved this place while visiting Pittsburgh! Our Airbnb was within walking distance so we ended up coming here twice. We ordered the wings extra crispy with the Original Tap dry rub and they were so good! We also ordered the mac and cheese to go, it was delicious and a surprisingly big portion. The staff were super friendly both nights and more than happy to let us sample a few beers before figuring out what we liked. There were plenty of seats at the bar, and we were able to walk right up both times. If you're in the area and craving good wings, this is definitely a good spot! read more

We made reservations for yesterday at 11am for four people for their St. Paddy's Day brunch. The brunch items looked really good and fun on their social media. They did text me a few days beforehand stating that they were limiting our time there to 90 minutes due to the demand and I appreciated the heads up. I got there a few minutes before 11am and gave my name for our table. The two people hostess stand just ignored me while they were looking for menus after I gave my name, no "give us a second" or anything. One of them led me to our small booth in the back. The drinks we got were sweet but pretty decent. The food was just okay at best. The potatoes were pretty good and my eggrolls were bland. Our server herself was fairly nice and efficient. We had eaten, gotten our leftover containers, and paid our checks by around noon. They let us do separate checks which was convenient. read more

I've been to The Urban Tap before and had good experiences, but this time was not up to par with the rest. I ordered a medium rare filet, but it was nearly well-done when I cut into it. I notified our server, and instead of being offered a new steak or asked if I wanted to order something else, they asked "what do you want me to do about this?" I was a bit taken aback by the response, but I ultimately said that I would just like a new steak. When the next steak came out, it was still a bit overcooked, but I decided to cut my losses and just eat it rather than risk another off-putting interaction. The steak was also brought out without the buttery topping this time, and I received far fewer potatoes. Our server never once checked back in to see if my steak was any better, nor did they ever ask how my friend's food was. The only decent part of our meal were the fries that came with my friend's burger. We were never asked if we needed refills, and our server got a bit of an attitude when we placed two cards down to pay. I will likely not be back again after this experience. It was very disappointing from start to finish. read more

I got the bison burger with brussel sprouts as a side, and both were good (4/5)! The Brussels sprouts were nice and crispy! The burger was juicy, and the bacon gave it a nice crunch! The service was pretty good (4/5). We were there for a few hours catching up and watching a game, and the waitress kept consistently checking in. The interior of the restaurant and bar is nice, and there are plenty of TVs to watch sports games on. It isn't too loud also, so you can still easily have a conversation. read more

I always forget about this spot, but was in the mood for some trivia and made a reservation! It definitely gets busy on trivia nights and creates a really fun atmosphere!! I ordered the Good Morning America Espresso Martini and WOW. Not only was it stunning but so delicious. It was made with amaretto and had a lovely and rich cherry flavor! I absolutely loved it! Ordered the brussel sprouts app, they're deep fried and so good! And burgers are discounted on Tuesdays from 9-11, so I got the burger with fries! It was solid, and the perfect brain fuel during trivia! read more

Tbh a hit or miss. I usually get the Brussel sprouts side and it is either nice and crispy or super soggy, greasy, and salty. It also leaves a residue feeling in your mouth. The pro is that the portion is massive and a great deal for $5! The inconsistency with how they come out makes me meh on this place overall. read more

This place has it all. Not surprised it was packed with a 30 minute wait before 6pm on a Friday, because their happy hour deals were amazing. $5 wine by the glass, cocktails and $2 off shareables is a real attraction. They have a huge draft beer list on the wall at the bar, some very tempting to try. Service at the bar during our wait was quick and easy and the bartenders were very nice. The hostess stand didn't seem to know what they were doing, but we were sat well before 30 minutes had passed. The food was amazing, the giant pretzel was delicious, as well as the Cobb. Adding their herbed fries was a great addition to my salad, I think they might have been fresh cut, too. The dining area was loud, but went unnoticed with the food in front of me. Also, the old school chicken wire windows were very fitting to Pittsburgh. I will be returning. read more

Went to a private party here recently. They have a nice back room for events. The beer and cocktail menu are extensive. The food was meh. The perogies were super salty. Pretzels totally bland. Veggies didn't have any dip (ranch, hummus, anything?). Slides were ok. Brussel sprouts would have been good but were cold. So, I'd say this is a good place for a beer, and maybe the food order of the menu directly is better. read more

First I love their tater tots. They are square and amazing. I have been here a few different times but yesterday visit was so good and so fun.there were five of us and we went for happy hour. How lucky we were to get Bennie server?!He was charming, attentive,and had great opinions. We starts with wine and the Dubai chocolate pistachio mule. Who knew chocolate from Dubai is a thing and it is so good. We ordered apps since it was happy hour and two dollars off. The spicy tuna amazing nitro hot or spicy but tasteful. The girls ordered the cheese curds which according to the twenty year olds Fire! The entrees were pretty good as well. Everyone left there full and happy. And the prices do not break the bank. If u go ask for Bennie it will be worth the trip. read more

This review is for brunch service only. We came in on a Saturday around 10:30 and were seated without reservations. I will say the closer it got to 12 pm, it got busy so recommend reservations. The coffee menu is fun, with interesting options. Our group has a lemon latte as well as lavender honey chai latte. We were very impressed by their drinks. They were all done so well and elegantly. Nice surprise! Food wise, the menu didn't offer much for vegetarians mainly carb options. My friend did get the egg and avocado dish. We laughed at the avocado they literally cut for her (skin still on as well as the pit). Another friend got the chicken and biscuit dish. It was large though the gravy was eh. I got the challah French toast, which was served with berries and almond slices. It was fried overwhelming the challah flavor. I found it quite sweet and didn't use the syrup. Overall, it was an okay option. We would probably be back just for the coffee drinks. read more

Had a fantastic experience wandering in here on a Saturday evening. I am new to the neighborhood and I'm wandering nightly to find different places, but this one will certainly find me returning. The place is decked out like Halloween for their "Summerween" thing, which is a cute way to pull out the Halloween decorations and use them more than once a year. Staff was wearing costumes (some of them), and people seemed to be in a good mood in general. I mean, who doesn't love Halloween? (Answer: people with no sense of fun.) Ordered a chicken sandwich with Brussels instead of fries and two different local beers: a hazy IPA and a blueberry watermelon sour. Both very good, with much help from my server, Lizzie, who was fantastic. Great personality, super knowledgeable, and we happened to have similar taste in beer so that was very helpful. Even though she looked busy, she paid very good attention, hit all the POS's, and did not make me feel rushed. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the little pieces of ginger on it give it a great pop. Will certainly try to replicate it at home, but more likely will be back for another. Brussels were a tiny bit greasy, but not enough to stop me from finishing them. Lots of choices on the menu (including what looks like 100 beer taps from all over the country) make me feel like I will not need to order the same thing twice during my year in Pittsburgh. Looking forward to returning! read more

Hello Monday... and hello happy hour! This evening, my dear friends and I went to Urban Tap for their happy hour and $5 classic cocktails. What a deal! The cocktails were tasty, however, my dear friends reported that the margarita was a little salty... which seemed to be the theme for the night. Their happy hour also included $2 off shareables and we got the pulled pork nachos, crispy rice & tuna, smoked Gouda mac & cheese, and the short rib poutine. The crispy rice tuna had good flavor but no crisp, the nachos were good, and everything else was just salty. Unlike the food, I am not salty about the service and the ambiance. Our waiter was friendly and the music was "popping" (as the youths would say). It had me groovin' in my seat! My dear friends and I would return for happy hour drinks and donut holes. Until then...
