    Great small neighborhood dive bar. Doesn't have karaoke. Love the service. Great bartenders. Menu is small.

    Hey Babe - Crispy potatoes

    My friend and I went there on a Friday night. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived around 6pm, but…read moreit was definitely busier by 8pm. I would recommend getting a reservation for the weekend. The restaurant is located at the bottom of the Maverick and the decor is absolute gorgeous. By the end, I was convinced that their wallpaper would look great in my living room. Our waiter was very lovely and attentive. There was one small issues with our appetizers which resulted in them being delayed. He took full responsibility and made it right. I really liked my pear centric cocktail, it had a very appealing purple shade. My salmon was very good with nice bright flavors. It was a little spicier than expected but not too hot either. The coconut rice was good to help with that. The Korean fried tofu was perfectly crunchy and slightly spicy (this time it was expected). Good flavors to it. The babaganoush was excellent with all the extra little toppings on top. The seeded crackers were excellent and I wished I had ask if they made them there. My friend had the crispy eggplant and bread service (no gluten for me sadly). She said everything was good as well. We shared the Japanese cheesecake. It was absolutely delightful. The texture is so light and creamy! The banana pieces with the creme brulee crust were so good. Excellent caramel sauce. Overall, trendy space with good food and drinks!

    I went to @heybabe.pgh and it instantly made sense why people talk about it…read more Everything came out exactly how it should-crispy potatoes that didn't last long, and a steak cooked perfectly, no overthinking it. I stayed on my no drinking and tried a mocktail espresso martini with the girls and it still felt like the full experience, but I already know I'm coming back for the cocktails. It's small, kind of tucked away, and has this really easy energy to it. The kind of place where you're just in the moment-sharing everything, ordering "just one more thing," and realizing the whole night went by without anyone checking the time.

    It's weird to review a place I haven't visited in person. But Space Bar took some of their staff to…read morethe 2026 World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim, and hosted a party in the convention hotel (on August 28). The staff they had at the convention were all super-cool people. They served great drinks. I haven't seen their drink menu, so I just said a few words about what I like, and they mixed up good stuff -- at reduced alcohol per my request. Perfect! Best of all, they had the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal as their special guest. (But she lives in North Carolina, so don't expect her as a regular in the Pittsburgh location.) Space Bar is obviously LGBT+ friendly, but it's an everyone bar. OK, maybe not everyone: it will be more fun if you're interested in science fiction and fantasy, and don't upset the vibe. I'll be sure to visit the in-person location next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

    Loved this bar--the space-themed atmosphere, great energy, and kind staff. Funny enough, while we…read morewere getting coffee earlier that morning, one of the bartenders invited us to stop by later, not knowing it was already on our post-dinner itinerary. The cocktails were creative, playful, and impressively strong without sacrificing quality. I had the Seoular Flare, which had a noticeable kick but was still very drinkable. It came with BBQ chips, and when our bartender--the same guy from that morning--noticed how much I loved them, he brought me extra. Such a thoughtful touch. The rest of our drinks were equally inventive and well-crafted. I admittedly had some doubts about whether the creativity would translate into cocktails that actually tasted good, but they completely proved me wrong. A fun concept backed by genuinely great drinks and hospitality.

    It had been too long since I visited this place! It was really busy on a Friday night and you will…read moresee why! We sat on the back patio since it was pretty packed inside but the weather was great! I got the frozen house margarita which didn't disappoint. Instead of chip and salsa when you come in, you get a basket of chicharrones. We also got the dip sampler because you can't never go wrong with it! Then, the difficult task to pick a main dish! They have a fun selection of uncommon dishes which is super cool. My friend got the Birria ramen and loves it! I tried the broth and it was super flavorful. My husband got the Pittsburgh burrito which has fries inside. He said the fries in it were so good! My vegetarian friend got a solid mushroom taco and then got a little wild and got the cactus taco! I tried it and it was super good! I was a little more classic and got a Birria and a Al pastor taco. Both were really good and good amount of meat in them. I also got rice and beans and as you can see, it was a generous serving! I will be back much sooner than next time! Such a fun place in this part of town. They are definitely trying to be a little different from the average Mexican place.

    First time trying Primo's and it definitely won't be my last. I had the Grand Margarita,…read morechoriqueso, Al Pastor taco, Campechano taco, and tres leches cake, and everything was excellent. As someone who's tried most of the major Mexican restaurants around the Pittsburgh area, Primo's easily tops them all. It was honestly some of the best Mexican food I've had in and around Pittsburgh.
