    Drinks were great , food was good. And plenty of TVs because we came to watch golf and basketball. Did order a slice of pizza and it took over 35 minutes but we had to leave so never got it

    This was the luck of Yelp.. we found this place on the way back to my family's home. It's a nondescript type of place. It's got outdoor seating and awning and they have a clear garage like door they open up. When we went we could smell the sweet scent of bbq! This place makes its own foods.. what was on special was meatloaf with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. What bar do you know that makes that? I don't know any. They make their own sauce, they smoke there own stuff. This is a place you can bring your kids, friends and hang out. You can sit at the bar and if you need to charge up your phone they got you covered. They have beers on tap and in bottles and cans and you can buy them to go. They have a good menu and the wings are very tasty. We got a few different sauces we got garlic parm, fire (it's more savory than hot) and a Carolina type of sauce. You can get either ranch or blue cheese for dipping These are all worth getting and we also got mozzarella sticks. They were very tasty too. They have tv's you can just sit around and relax. The staff is really nice and rather helpful to steer you if you are unsure about what to order. If you have a chance check this place out it was really a nice surprise. Street parking.

    What a great neighborhood bar, with excellent bar, food, great beer selection, and great atmosphere and ambience. Even on a busy Friday night, great service from the bar staff. Real neighborhood gem.

    We came to Bulldog Pub while in the area visiting. Their menu online was different than their menu in person, so we were a little disappointed to not see some of what we came for. We ate outside on their back patio, which was perfect for our young kids to run around a little. Staff was very attentive and helpful for us. Pub looked like a local place that everyone goes to watch soccer games and had a very local vibe. I ordered the fish sandwich, which was huge and tasty. We also enjoyed the pretzel sticks with honey mustard and my husband loved the nachos. I'd recommend checking it out

    Excellent local Pittsburgh bar. Very friendly crowd, majority of patrons drinking Iron City or IC Light. Fish sandwich was good and big.

    Good time on our last night in town. Drinks are cold and food is reasonable. They are LGBTQ friendly so all seem to be welcome here!

    Really, really liked Bulldog Pub. One of my resolutions was to stop going to the same part of town for food! Mission accomplished. As soon as we parked outside of BP (street parking) I immediately thought this place looked like a good time! The booths are old school, and the decor is really neat because it's a bunch of old local football pictures. Nothing fancy here! Also, the bathroom was a tiny little room, with one toilet. Again, nothing fancy! Our server was awesome, very attentive - always made sure we had drinks. He also hooked us up on the food and drinks. My new life consists of not only being a picky eater myself, but having two pre-teens to worry about as well. We all loved it! We had a little bit of everything. I had the salmon burger, which was quite good. The boys had some penne with butter (it's the simple things) which they loved - oh and some chicken wings, which were a hit. My boyfriend had a burger, and said it was good as well! The prices were average. And the food was "not just bar food" which is great. They had bar food, but it was "good bar food" I would definitely recommend, and would come back if we were in the neighborhood! *No smoking inside of this bar* *Kids welcomed, no issues there*

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

    One of the most authentic old school Pittsburgh natives and Steelers bars on the strip! The drinks…read moreare cheap, strong....and the bar is full of good vibes and great people. Not to mention, they offer semi-strong long islands for $4 all day, It's sort of a premixed concoction that's just okay in my opinion. Nothing to rave about...but enough to lure you in for price and continue to get you in for more libation. lol Lefty's is a nice and fun hangout spot for friends for sure.and a great way to get into the mix of Pittsburgh natives (people from the surrounding area). The bar is a pretty narrow space and gets packed pretty quickly, but it is a great space to watch sports and chat with people. There is not a lot of seating space as the space is relatively small, but it is still comfortable while standing. Although crowded, the bartenders are quick and efficient with drink orders. If only they sold food, this spot would be perfect. However, there are several shops and restaurants along the strip to grab a bite to eat. In all, cool little dive bar in the heart of the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Also a great vibe and place to meet up with friends for a few drinks or a pit stop while site seeing the downtown area. Stop by, get in and fit into the vibe of this place. It's fun and good times.

    Found this place during the NFL draft! Dive bar, good drinks and very economical. Service is cool…read more After a certain time they card and do a safety check. Thursday was a mixed crowd, good music, and you can order food near by and bring it in. Friday evening, came the regulars. Which means those who don't prefer out of towners. So I'm good on Lefty's on Friday night. I need good energy around me always. TV's with the games, upstairs and downstairs seating area. Small patio. If you go, go early, when the old heads are there.
