The derby party at inner groove was more than enough to entice me. And it was the right decision. Games were set up all around the brewery, the kids loved it. Bartender was kind, fast, and attentive. Bathrooms were clean. Patrons were patient with the kids playing games. No food here, so BYOF or order locally off of the menus. We walked next door for carribean which was delicious. A good variety of beers were on tap. The sole hiccup is street parking only, but when we went on a Saturday afternoon there was plenty.

With menus for local businesses readily available, you could easily spend a few hours here very content. I liked that they had a few sours on tap and not just a bunch of IPAs They are kid friendly and a few families did have children with them. The bartender was quick to pour the drinks and friendly with each patron. The building itself is brick and the inside has exposed brick and a homey feel. They have at least 2 gender neutral bathrooms that were clean and easily accessible. Parking is available on the side of the building in a small lot or on the street out front.

I mean $16 for a full smash with fries is just unheard of these days! I got the Polish Hill which has caramelized onions and pierogis it was AMAZING! The patty was crisp and still juicy and the onions were perfection. I upgraded to the rosemary fries and they were delicious! I got the strawberry way blonde ale and I was SO excited it wasn't a sour lol. I do enjoy sours but can usually only drink one. This was so smooth and not overly sweet it was so refreshing! 1000000/10!

These are great french fries. I got the Oakland burger that had steamed onions, Mojo sauce and pickles with American cheese. Lovely lacey edges on the burger patties, appropriate roll. This is an excellent Smashburger. Would have it again, and would omit the pickles; I think they distract from the burger. This burger does not extra condiments like ketchup. Salad with buffalo chicken. The chicken is nicely cooked, and the buffalo sauce is excellent. My counterpart loves the blue cheese that came with it. I agree, the blue cheese is excellent.

I first tried online but there was a glitch somewhere in the system. I called instead. When the phone was answered, the background noise was intense. It was so loud that the employee couldn't hear me. At that point I decided to just go in and order. When I walked into Urban Tap, the noise was almost deafening. Music blaring, voices raised to be heard. No one was using their "inside voices", they couldn't. I sat at the bar to order. I never got waited on. I finally caught the attention of one of the bartenders and was ready to place an order. We leaned towards each other, yelling to try to be heard. I couldn't hear her when she read back my order. I really wasn't sure what I'd be getting. Unfortunately, I did get what I ordered - brunch breads and an order of biscuits. It took quite a while to get food - no surprise there. I checked our food when I got it. Oh Lordy, those biscuits looked good. This southern girl appreciates a good biscuit and did these look good. I got the food to the car and we headed out on the next leg of our adventure. About an hour later, I just had to grab one of those golden, flaky discs. Butter? Jam? Nah, the biscuits looked like they could solo on their own. I took one bite and my eyes flew open - not from the deliciousness, it was because of the sheer amount of salt. That can't be right so I took another small bite. I tried a teeny bite of the next biscuit. Salt. The biscuits were inedible. No, I don't mean that I didn't like the flavor. They contained so much salt that there was no way someone could eat these. That's ok, there was the banana bread French toast. It looked a little dark in color but it never crossed my mind that this might not be normal. I took a bite. It tasted odd, off, something wasn't right. My husband pegged it - it was burned. Before grilling or after? No idea. There were also a couple of donut holes. Not even worthy of a second bite. I also ordered fruit. It was good but still not enough to save the meal from dismal failure. We won't be back .

I have visited Shore Thing twice now, and it's a great spot on to enjoy with friends on a warm day…read more The view off the water is beautiful, and the hammocks they have are fun to sit on & be close to the water. The food was good, just a standard hot dog so nothing spectacular, but it fit the vibe! The pineapple margarita was wonderful, perfect amount of sweetness. As for service, initially we were served very quickly, and did not have a long wait time. When it came time to order another drink, the line was extremely long and moving slow so I did not get another. Beware that if there are other events in the city like concerts or baseball games, lines might get long. Overall, a nice spot if you're just looking to chill out, maybe play some card games and enjoy the company of others.

Lagerlands is a socially distancing pop up beer garden located on Pittsburgh's Highline…read more It's a joint venture with local businesses that include Cinderlands Beer, De Fer Coffee & Tea, Hop Culture Magazine. Food is available for purchase from a variety of local restaurants as well. The beer, cocktail and food menu does change. Reservations with a deposit are required. You can choose from seating along the river level or highline level. Deposits are applied toward your order. This is an absolutely wonderful concept that is well needed not just in this time of a pandemic. The crew involved really has it down and it's an organized process. Sitting outside at a safe and social distance enjoying local food and drink just doesn't get any better. I especially love that they've included De Fer (one of my fave places) for those who may not want a beer or cocktail.

The wings were good, although I would have loved a little more smoke flavor to come through. The mac & cheese was tasty and indulgent, with plenty of pork belly, but could have used a bit more seasoning to really bring it together. Prices were fair, and there are plenty of other dishes on the menu I'd like to try. I'd happily come back!
