What a freaking dump! And we loved it…read more Eclectic crew of folks here. A melting pot that somehow worked. They have allowed visitors to hand wrIte all over the walls, ceilings, hell- any place you can find! The bathrooms are falling apart. The bartender was a bloodline fan. The locals drunk just across the way was entertaining. Pool tables, foos ball and a few electronic slot machines. Overall my words won't do it justice, just experience it for all its glory.

Shocked, I asked for a beer, but the bartender says, "wait a minute," and proceeded to walk around to get me the beer. The owner, buddy, scammed the PPE loans to keep this shitshow operating, and it shows why this place deserves to bevshut down.

Our server came over right away and answered all the questions that we had. We ended up sharing an order of bao buns, tater tots, and fried cheese. That was more than enough food for the two of us, and we ended up bringing a lot of at home. The food was really good and the prices were reasonable. It appeared to have an upstairs as well as a first floor and was very spacious inside. It looked like a spot for locals, but they were very welcoming to us as outsiders. Parking was a little tough, but we found some on the street. I would recommend this place to others.

It's a dive but not a dingy hole. The bartender was like a women on a mission. Maybe had a couple extra cups of coffee, she was a freakin' machine! No time to talk only time to serve and clean. It didn't have a fun or comfy vibe. It was just a place. I was happy to move to another bar. But there are darts and a vending machine.

Absolute dive bar in the best way…read more The only thing keeping it from being a prototypical dive bar is that...it's pretty cavernous with more multiple big (long areas). Luckily you won't be elbow-to-elbow begging for bartenders to pour you a drink. The vibe is chill, the place isn't standing-room-only. Drinks are cheap, karaoke is good, gab is gallous.

We always like to drink local beers so hubs ordered us those and I found a table in the back. It was a good spot but it was so busy and loud that we could barely hear each other. There were televisions all over so you can watch basically anything you want. They had music playing and it was very lively. I am not sure if they had food or not and I do not recall smelling any. The bathrooms were okay and they were definitely not modern. The lighting was good and there was enough space throughout the place. No one was socializing with us but seemed to be everywhere in Pittsburgh.

The wing itself, the best I've had. The sauces on them were ehh. Not the best by any means but not bad to where it will ruin the wing for you I would tie these with Nox's because Nox's buries them with the sauces but Gooski's has the edge on them with the wing cook Cigs inside as well. Without even smoking in there you'll come out smelling like a dart. Can always order to go if that'll bother you. No waiters either. You order at the bar
