The inside is dimly lit and has that gorgeous chandelier. There's bar seating, a few tables on the ground floor, and a few tables on a higher level. They have some snacks but we skipped those and went straight for the cocktails. The cocktails overall are excellent and I'll definitely be back!

Tried a little of everything but I came for a good hot dog. I had a beef frank, they also have…read moreturkey and veggie dogs. They have all the toppings, and everything comes on a poppyseed bun. 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.

Good. It's a neighborhood bar with a lot of character and good beer options. The menu is somewhat…read moremore creative and interesting than you might expect, but they are ultimately specializing in bar food. That's not intended as a dig, it's just what they're serving. We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

Hemlock House was one of the first places I visited when I moved to Pittsburgh, and it instantly…read morebecame a favorite. I went during the lunch hour after work, and the food was incredible. The pasta was outstanding with the perfect mix of sauce, cheese, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite tasted balanced and full of flavor. The broccolini was another highlight. The seasoning blend they used was so good, and the texture was exactly how broccolini should be. It was crispy, crunchy, warm, and honestly one of the best sides I have had in a while. Hemlock House is definitely a great date night spot. Some days it feels calm and intimate, and other days it has a more lively vibe, depending on the time you go. I really enjoyed my experience here, and it is absolutely a place I will continue returning to.

Came back for another visit. Hemlock House continues to deliver an upscale, delicious meal…read more We shared 4 small plates and one large plate and were satisfied and not overstuffed! The kale salad was dressed well (I hate a salad with too much dressing!), and the almonds, grapes and avacado worked well in it. The broccolini was good--I'm not sure my palate was good enough to taste some of the ingredients! The malfatti was unique! Ricotta dumplings! Yummy. I was worried (not really) that the sauce Americain was going to be velveeta cheese! It wasn't, but it was a yellow cheese sauce. Crème fraiche on the side and Little bits of langoustine to round it off. Yummy! Then we had crab and bacon hush puppies. I didn't know what to expect, and they were delicious with a spicy ají verde sauce to go with it! Finally we had nouja cavatelli. I never make pasta with lemon and it was a nice flavor. Overall another great experience!

We live super close (Edgewood/Wilkinsburg line) and 3 of us walked in. The bartender/worker saw us and then ignored us. We sat down at a table in the almost empty restaurant.

We have lived in the area for 4-5 years and we have never eaten at this Dive Bar location because weve never heard a good thing. We drive by often too and it's always almost empty
