I've worked at and attended shows at the Benedum for years and finally made it in to try the Warren this past weekend. I've heard so many mixed things that I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed every aspect of my experience. It kind of has dive bar vibes but the food and drink options are definitely on the elevated side. They open at 4 on Sundays and I got there around 4:15. It was already pretty busy (and by the time I was leaving, every single table and bar stool were occupied). They have standard booth seats along the windows, hightop tables in the middle and bar seating along the bar that curves along the back of the restaurant. I chose to sit at the bar since I was by myself. I was promptly greeted by the bartender. They don't hand you copies of the menu, you have to scan the QR code to access. It is easy to read and follow with sections for drinks, specials (this time they were Wicked themed as a nod to the show at the Benedum) and a sushi section. I ordered the street corn dip. The chips were a bit overcooked and the dip was just OK. I thought it was pricey for what you got. The star of my meal, though, was the patty melt. It had the burger, a bacon jam, caramelized onions and was absolutely delicious! It was served with fries. I considered ordering sushi but wasn't sure what to expect. The patrons sitting on either side of my ordered rolls and they were a nice size and looked delicious, so that is something I would consider ordering in the future. It was a place I'll likely be back to because of the proximity to the theater (although their prices definitely reflect that). Just note how crowded it always is and give yourself plenty of time if you plan on heading here for dinner before the show. read more

Total locals bar. Didn't eat but had some drinks. Service was fast. Menu sort of weird. Sushi and flatbreads . Felt like we actually annoyed the bartender for a drink . read more

The Warren is literally my favorite place to pop into in Downtown Pittsburgh. Open late, great vibes, and a hell of an awesome bar staff. Whenever I tell people that it's basically a pub with great sushi they are truly befuddled but everything here works (and is extremely delicious) I've had numerous things from the menu but I always go back to the steak sandwich. There are a few staple drinks but I love to have a bar tender make whatever they're feeling. I've had some fun nights with complete strangers while watching Pen's games. This is the place to be. read more

This place does have the best old fashioned ( at least in Pittsburgh!) we came here the first time and just had drinks and some tots (they need a lot of salt) but the next time we got food! Their burger is good as well as their potstickers! Skip the flatbread, it was so soggy and doughy. Great cocktails! The bartenders are so nice! read more

Cute music cute vibes. We were met by our server soon after sitting down. Inside seating is limited. Server is kind. Beer fries are spectacular. A little spicy but not too much. Great tasting cheese. A good amount- filling. Chicken wings- super flavorful. The honey dip is amazing. The Cajun dry rub was great too! The capture and taco pizzas are also pretty good. The crab Rangoon was also good. The fruity jelly is amazing. Make sure to mix it with the crab Rangoon! The sides are honestly better than the mains! Nothing is greasy though. Service is fast. Somehow, the food came before the drink lol. We got a virgin version of the grapefruit something or other and it was pretty good ! The water also tasted good. I'd def come back read more

The Warren is one of my favorite spots downtown. It's a lively cocktail bar with great food. It gets very packed, especially when there's shows at the Benedum. We were able to get 2 spots at the bar and the bartender was very friendly. My husband had a great G&T and I had a delicious ginger mocktail. My husband ordered the steak sandwich which is always delicious. I ordered sushi & sweet potato tots (my favorite). Definitely check this spot out! read more

I visited The Warren while in town for the Pens-Kings game, I am a Kings fan from LA. A friend in LA that is originally from Pittsburgh texted me, "Go to the Warren in downtown town and ask for Talishia." "Tell her you know Butchy." So, that is what I did. This place offers an extensive selection of bourbon. I had two mini-bottles of High Life and shots of 1792 Full Proof. Prices were reasonable. Service was great We also had sushi. The fish was fresh and tasty. It was a nice surprise. I think the rolls were called Justin Time and Don't Touch Chris. Apparently Chris is allergic to what is in that roll. The Warren delivers a strong whiskey selection and reliable food at a fair price point. The place served its purpose well during a game-day visit. I am glad I went. read more

This is a great bar in downtown Pittsburgh, especially if you're a whiskey lover. Even if you're not, there's a decent menu of cocktails! The boo berry daiquiri was delicious! A bit sweet for me, but still made really well. The 7th street corn dip was really delicious!! I could eat that as my entire meal if I had to. But the caprese and tomato basil flatbreads were delicious! The caprese was my favorite of the two, as it tasted very fresh. The tomato basil was a little too cheesy for me. read more

Service at the bar was good. The Fred's Old Fashion was perfection. The corn dip was very good. Best we have had in a long time. The catfish PoBoy was OK but sort of small. The special Wasabi Pork Dumplings were a bit of a let down. A lot of breading and scant pork. We will be back for sure cause this place rocks. Very relaxed and gets crowded quick. read more

I visited The Warren for the first time last weekend before going to a show at The Benedum! We got there around 5:30 pm and it was packed so we had to sit at the tables on the sidewalk. Not long after we ordered our first round of drinks, a massive group left so we ran inside and snagged seats at the bar! Here's everything we got: -Passion for Pittsburgh - a vodka-based passionfruit cocktail -Fred's Old Fashioned (my fiancé's drink) -Aviation cocktail -an incredible off-menu creation made with Gin, muddled peach, lillet, and basil (the bartender said he used to serve this drink all the time 20 years ago) -Steak & cheese sandwich + fries (we split this and it was the perfect amount of food for both of us) -my fiancé also got the Peach Thief cocktail, which you can see in the picture of the sandwich Everything was delicious! The bartender was super cool. The food came out fast. Will definitely go back, and would love to try the sushi next time! Also loved the aesthetic of the bar the perfect pre-show spot! read more

We've been to The Warren a handful of times now and never been disappointed. For a bar, they have great sushi. The other food and cocktails have also always been great. They do not take reservations and seating can be limited. They have some covered seating outside, weather permitting. Go early to grab a seat at the bar. Perfect place to grab drinks and a bite to eat before a show downtown. The servers have always been great and the service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

The Warren Bar and Burrow is a truly unique spot. While it is primarily a dive bar, with all the trappings of a dive bar on the right side, it also includes a beautifully decorated Japanese themed room off to the left. This dynamic is also reflected in the menu, with Japanese whiskey spotlighted, as well as an extensive sushi menu to go along with burgers and fish and chips. Amazingly, the sushi was top notch, as well as the aforementioned fish and chips. I however would not recommend the Chicken Katsu, as it wasn't spiced well. One last thing to note is that the tots are sweet potatoes, and while I usually love sweet potatoes these were odd and mushy. I asked if they had whipped butter to help, but they did not. The server did offer to replace them with standard french fries, which I was very appreciative of. As for drinks, I highly recommend their Old Fashioned. I've tried others on the cocktail menu and they are hit or miss, but the OF is a solid choice. read more

Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was awesome. It was fun to people watch as the theatre traffic walked by.

Literally my favorite bar in Pittsburgh. I've lived in Pitt for 18 months and coming from NYC, the bar scene has been extremely disappointing here. The Warren is the only place that satisfies my late night bar needs. There's always a decent amount of people at the bar no matter what day of the week. And unlike other bars in Pittsburgh, they play more than just the Steelers games. One of my favorite things about this place is their cocktail and food menu. Pretty difficult to find a place that serves food as late as them on a Tuesday night. And the menu is so eccentric. Everything from the sushi to the burgers are delicious. The cocktail menu is constantly changing and is well priced. Haven't had a bad cocktail here. Service here is always fantastic. All the bartenders are super nice and attentive. I like going to bars by myself and the environment they create makes this very welcoming. If you're looking for a place to have a drink after a hockey game or a concert, there's no other choice read more

Three of us stopped by 6:30pm on a Tuesday and were able to get seats at the bar immediately. The inside is a bit on the dim side and it's usually packed. We ordered drinks and sushi and everything came out pretty quickly. My shrimp tempura roll was pretty good and my friends' sushi and wings looked good as well. I love that the cocktails here are always delicious and reasonably priced. It's a favorite of many for a reason! read more

I had always heard great things about this bar, so I had to check it out myself. My friend and I met for a drink on a Sunday night...and ended up staying 7 hours. Everything was great. Music was awesome, it was packed with people fresh from the Steelers game, the drinks were amazing, and the bartender was hilarious and awesome all around. After 7 hours and over 20 cocktails & beers later, our tab only came to a little over $200. Aka prices are great. This place has it all. I can't wait to go back. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Corner bar, seemed fairly busy, as the Pirates had finished up shortly before we arrived and Duquesne students just finished graduating, but we were able to find a seat immediately. Waitress brought us water right away, and gave us time to scan the QR codes to look at the menus. Bar was playing 80s and 90s and early 2000s rock the whole time and the crowd was digging it, myself included. We ordered a burger and chicken sandwich, and a simple Modelo. I was a bit surprised that the beer came in a can, but it worked just fine-it is a bar, after all. Food came out after a short wait and everything was good-seems like a solid spot and would surely return in the future. read more

Like someone from The Boyz had just used it. The other bathroom was much better. Not flooded and had a urinal and toilet. read more

What can I say??? This place is and should be voted best bar in town!! The bartenders were fantastic and the drinks they created all were too pretty to drink but when you did try them they were perfectly proportioned with all the liquor and juices. Not too overpowering. The crowd there was great! Everyone were all in great spirits which made it such a great time by everyone. The place was packed! As it should have been!! The owner Spencer even made a guest appearance. What a guy!! He's got my vote!! read more

Ok, so dont knock it til you try it. I know people have comments about the sushi being mixed in to a "regular" menu.....Im telling you, everything they do here, they do it well! It gives various tastes options to agree on. It allows friends who have different cravings to land on one place and drink and enjoy all their cravings being fulfilled. So on our visit, we tried a mixture of things. Sushi-Nigiri. An order of Tuna Nigiri, and an order of Salmon Nigiri, super fresh, super delicious and their Wasabi was ON POINT!!! I've eaten at full Japanese sushi restaurants that didnt have as good of a wasabi!. If I had any critique, maybe it would be less sushi rice, but again, super delicious. We had the wings- Delicious. Cooked extremely well and super flavorful. The bison burger- Really delicious. The meat was super flavorful with just the right accompanying ingredients that marries super well making this a definite must order! The shaved ribeye "cheesesteak" hoagie was really flavorful and we asked for some fresh jalapeños and it really shot it up next level. I dare say this. But I preferred this steak sandwich over the primanti bros one. (I know ,I know.....). Thw fries were really good. Well seasoned and cooked crispy. All of our drinks were great. I explored some martinis......the rest of us ordered beers on draft and was iced cold and crisp. The service was so great. She offered so mamy suggestions. When back in town, we will definitely be back! Pricing is super good, especially for all the top quality boxes checked here. Delicious food- Check Friendly service-Check Ease of entering and ordering and feeling comfortable- Check Cost -again- big check!!!!! You wont be disappointed. Don't pass here to go to meat and potatoes. Stop here instead. Trust me. read more

This bar is great option for groups who want can't agree of the same kind of food. Some of us wanted sushi and one of us didn't but that was no problem!

Great place! One of the few open late (2am) major plus! Excellent drinks and cocktails. The food looked great too, but we only had drinks.. Service is flawless. If anything inside booths are a bit uncomfortable or restrained ( bumping knees, lol). But outside seating or inside standing is great. This is a small, cozy, welcoming bar with great music and a guaranteed good time. read more

Such an amazing fun vibe at this bar. The bartender was super friendly, and the music was awesome!! I don't recommend ordering a martini, but the old fashioned was good.

Don't recommend seafood there, but everything else about the bar was great!! read more

The Warren Bar and Burrow - I found my pot of gold at the Warren - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Real talk: I went on a date here with a funny, witty, beautiful person...we talked for hours and never got bored, it was intoxicating. I'm not tryna brag, I'm just tryna keep it real. It's pretty much impossible for me to be unbiased in reviewing this local watering hole. This place is maybe the fanciest you can go and still call yourself a "dive bar". While it does have cheap 'n crispy brews like IC Light...it also has delightfully bougie cocktails, including my favorite cocktail of all time: penicillin. Of which I drank many! The bar was rowdy and bustlin' but the drinks just kept comin'. It was light when I stepped in here, and dark when I came out. I hope you have half as good of a time as I had here, dear reader. read more

This place was fun. This was close to our hotel and recommended by a friend. I loved everything I ordered. My drink was delicious and I hadn't seen it anywhere else. The crab rangoon dip was so good, also a nice spin on my favorite Asian appetizer. I also got a salad which was huge. It had French fries on it which I had never tried before. I'd definitely order it again. We had average service wait time, but our waitress was super nice. read more

Came here around 7:15ish with a total party of four and we were able to get a booth for some pre dinner drinks. The drinks were solid and wish we could've stayed longer, but we had a reservation to catch! Only concern was that the service was a little slow and after our first round, it was hard grabbing the attention of a waitress to start our second. read more

My husband and I have been here several times and it is always a good experience. At first glance, it may seem like a dark dive bar, bit that's the charm of it! The service is always wonderful whether you are just there for drinks or food or both. We were there the other night for dinner before a concert. It was a Tuesday and it was pretty busy, but we still had a good experience just like when we have been there in less busy times. We ordered several sushi rolls and they were great quality. They have a lomg list of sushi and many other things to choose from. They also have a seasonal cocktail list that is always delicious. My husband ordered one of the seasonal old fashioneds and it was a good balance of fall and citrus. I'd highly recommend this place. It's cozy, comfortable, and delicious! read more
