Tried City Winery for the first time. We ended up here because everywhere else was packed, and luckily this spot wasn't. There wasn't an event going on that night, so it was pretty calm. The menu was limited and honestly a bit pricey for the type of place and portion sizes. The craziest part was that our entrées came out before our appetizer (just fries). It took so long for the fries that we had already finished our meals by the time they finally came out. Overall, I'd say it was just okay. I'm not sure I'd come back just for dinner, but maybe I'd give it another try during an event to see if the vibe makes more of a difference.

White flight

Went with my friends for Hannah Montana Trivia night -- it was a great time! The trivia host had a great personality and the questions were good!! Although the ticket is cheap they do ask everyone to purchase at least 2 things off the menu. I was the dd so stuck with the wine flight and a prosciutto burger. The burger was SO GOOD. I enjoyed my wine flight and it was the perfect amount for a DD. Also a great place to split a bottle of wine with someone. The room we had the trivia in was nice -- just a little cramped but no big deal. Our waiter was very attentive. There were a few hiccups like my friend got regular fries instead of truffle fries but they fixed everything right away!

I went here for a comedy show and it was my first time since they opened. The doors opened around 9:30 and there was a line. Checking in was actually very easy and I appreciated the fact that we had balcony seats because it was the perfect vantage point to watch the show and not be crushed by other people. For the comedy show there was a $25 minimum but that included food and drinks. And with the menu prices it was basically one thing on the menu and got you to that price point. But now that I'm thinking about it, some of their sides would have been a side and a drink. But any of the larger dishes would have taken you to the price point by itself. I got a red blend that was pretty good. Not my favorite but not awful. I would like to try the flight the next time that I'm there to really see which one I would enjoy the best. We also ordered the flatbread, some truffle fries and the wings. The wings are not crispy wings but they were still good. The flavor was nice. The truffle fries were thinner, shoestring fries and then had the cheese chunks all through it. I could have gone with a little bit more ketchup but I did like that they had ketchup and ranch on the plate. My favorite was the flatbread because we got the hot honey and it was delicious. I would definitely come back if there was an event here.

Fun and lively shows here. The food menu is inventive and I enjoy. The wagyu sliders especially good.

Buffalo Crispy Chicken Sandwich

We had a very good meal just before the show this evening. I had the Buffalo Crispy Chicken Sandwich and my wife had the Margherita Flatbread. I liked that there was plenty of french fries. The service was very good. And how could you not like Scott Blasey singing the music of the 70s? Just a really great evening at a sold out show! We're looking forward to our next show at the City Winery. Check it out if you can.

The English Beat

Enjoyed seeing Kevin Nealon and the English Beat there. It's a small venue and it's a nice place to see shows. It's worth the money to sit closer. The drinks aren't the best. The servers were nice. I heard the food was good but we didn't try it.

Drag bingo

My friends and I came here for a Drag Bingo night a couple months ago and now we come every few weeks to attend their events ! The guests that entertain, whether it be drag queens - comedians - musicians , are all absolutely amazing. Service is usually pretty on point especially considering how packed and busy they get for their events . Go early so you can eat and drink before the shows! The food is wonderful, we have ordered their tuna poke bowl, hanger steak , avocado toast , hummus, truffle fries and burger sliders - ALL delicious ! Perfect sizes to either eat on your own or share with friends . We also ordered the charcuterie board but honestly was not impressed. The atmosphere is simple but very nice to where you feel like you're in a decently classy place . My only complaint is the room you get at the actual table (let me note - I have only sat in their event /show room). My friends and I actually stopped ordering food and drinks because of the lack of space you get infront of you at the table . We will continue to attend their events , great place in the strip district !

Been here a few times for events. First time actually coming just to enjoy dinner. Food was fair. Nothing that leaves you coming back. We did have the salmon and the Rigatoni. Both were good. There was a special desert we tried that was also pretty good. I will include that the menu they provide you during an event is different from just going to have dinner. Less options at the events. Service was great, waitress was very friendly. We went on a Tuesday evening and not much of a crowd. The venue itself has a warm ambiance. Not too big. Dim lights. Intimate settings. The only thing they don't do is provide recommendations of what wine pairs well with your meal. Overall I would come back.

I visited City Winery for the first time earlier this month, when a comedian I like performed here. The show itself was great, and the Winery was a pretty solid venue, too. Disclaimer: I visited on a Tuesday, and I don't think I would ever try to come here on a busier evening than that. Even on a Tuesday I had to park one street over, since parking on Smallman is such a pain in the butt now. So if you're visiting on a day later in the week or over the weekend, don't forget to give yourself time to park and walk over. There's outdoor seating here that I would have taken advantage of if I was just stopping in; but since I was attending a show I had an assigned seat in the venue's performance space. It's a large room filled with tables from front to back, plus some balcony seating. I could tell there were windows up top, but they were covered enough to prevent the daylight/sunset from disrupting the indoor ambiance. Now that I've seen the space, I'd get balcony tickets in the future. Because of how the tables are arranged - and because the lower level is entirely, well, level - if a tall person or two has a seat in front of you, tough luck: your view of the stage is ruined. I definitely played the "peek around their heads" game throughout the night when I attended. There's also a bar in this event space, and to their credit, they were wonderful throughout the night. I forgot they were right there a few times during the show, so you better believe I tipped them well. Running a bar and not regularly disrupting a show takes skill! They also timed their "last call" perfectly and started bringing checks to tables with plenty of time for people to pay before the show ended. The only thing that bummed me out about my visit was the menu prices. This is the kind of place where ordering one appetizer and one drink can get you a $25 bill at minimum. And I wish the food portions were larger given the prices. Oh well. Drinks and food alike were still very tasty. On another night I would have had two drinks and ordered a full dinner; but in the interest of not overdoing it late on a work night, I stuck to one appetizer (mushroom risotto balls) and one drink (a Blackberry Bourbon Smash). Final thoughts: it was a good first visit all around; I'd definitely come back; and now I know how to make the next visit even better.

Soft opening party!

Pretty great recent experience at City Winery for show! This was my first time seeing a performance there & was glad to read Yelp reviews before with assistance on where to buy my ticketed seat within the venue. I am really glad we bought balcony seats, it seemed less interrupted and obviously less crowded. If I was with a group, a table on the first level would be a nice option. The views and acoustics were great in the space! When you buy a show ticket, it acts as a dinner reservation for you prior to the show. We arrived 45 minutes prior to the show starting and it was a perfect amount of time to eat some small plates. We tried the lamb meatballs, cheese board, burrata, truffle fries, and kale Caesar salad. The truffle fries have definitely improved since I was there last which is a positive! The cheese board was super full and packed with great cheeses and accompaniments. The Caesar salad was just okay - the kale wasn't chopped up so it was kind of difficult to eat. The lamb meatballs were good but they were slightly warm - I couldn't tell if they had been warm and sat, or if they're supposed to be served cold? Either way, the temp was weird. The burrata and jam it is served with was delicious but definitely could use more pieces of bread. My wine was really good, of course, and my husband enjoyed his gin cocktail. Overall, a good experience and will be back for another show!

I've been to City Winery Pittsburgh a few times now for events, all of which have been fun and entertaining. This was my 1st experience with the food there. They are running a special on flatbreads on Wednesdays for $6. Let me tell you all the flatbreads were phenomenal!! You could tell the dough is of good quality. The sauce is flavorful and the crunch is perfection. I loved that the sausage was ground in small pieces. The wine is really good too, particularly the Rose. The service I had tonight was prompt,friendly, and helpful. If you order one of their reusable wine bottles, you can save a few dollars when you bring it back on your next visit. I will have to drop by again to try more of the menu and maybe some cocktails next time!

We went to the Let's Sing Taylor ticketed event on Wednesday and were disappointed with both the event and City Winery itself. I'll break down my thoughts on each thing separately below. I will note, Let's Sing Taylor itself does not impact my rating of the venue (although it should since you would think City Winery would vet their shows a bit more carefully). For City Winery: - I went once before and wasn't impressed but wanted to give it another shot. We bought our tickets for the event online and got to choose our seats then which is nice. There was also a sale so our tickets were half off which is great. It was strange that they asked for our names at the door instead of scanning the QR codes on our virtual tickets but not a big deal. - We went inside the venue and all the tables and chairs were packed super close which was weird since the venue ended up being half empty throughout the night and also the room itself was pretty big. - Our main server was nice. I liked that they have handheld devices to take your orders and that you can pay on. - A random staff member cleared my friend's drink which was half full without asking her if she was done. I told our main server what happened and she got my friend a new one - her reaction made it seem like this was not an uncommon occurrence. - I got the kale salad with a chicken thigh skewer and it was pretty good. Unfortunately it did give me diarrhea halfway through the show. - I was overcharged by $1 on my items which truly isn't a big deal. I didn't bother to point it out since I really wanted to leave the show at the end of the night but as an FYI, double check your receipt! - Overall I want to like City Winery but unfortunately I can't recommend it. For Let's Sing Taylor - Unfortunately this had incredibly low production value which was disappointing. I think the only people who truly enjoyed the show were a handful of children and a couple of inebriated folks up on the balcony. The table next to us started chatting with us about what a let down the show was so it seemed that multiple people felt the same way we did. I'm surprised City Winery didn't do a better job of vetting their performers. - The band and singer themselves were not bad in my opinion (although others next to me would disagree). However, it was clear that very little effort was put into the show. The performer's wig looked highly unrealistic and very cheap. The outfits looked cheap as well. - The different outfits did not match up with the correct era. There was a point where the singer disappeared backstage for presumably another outfit change only to come out in the same outfit. At some point during an outfit change the band started playing Pink Pony Club and while I love that song, it didn't match the Taylor Swift theme. - The singer had minimal energy and stage presence on stage and one point many audience members were on their phones. - The graphics displayed didn't match the eras and at points included graphics made with AI (and perhaps clip art on Microsoft word?) which added to the cheap knockoff feel. - They kept asking the audience to make some noise and cheer during certain phrases which fell flat when the audience was mostly unenthused and half the room was empty. - At one point they asked who came last time they performed in Pittsburgh and one token audience member raised their hand. The singer then asked what song they wanted to hear from the debut Taylor Swift album. The audience member replied with "Tim McGraw" and the singer told him "how about Our Song instead" and proceeded to ignore his request. Why even bother to ask? It was a terribly awkward moment. - I had diarrhea from my food halfway through the show but wasn't upset about it because it gave me the excuse to leave the room. - Overall, Let's Sing Taylor (or Temu Taylor as I and multiple others called it) seemed like a low budget money grabbing experience and I would not recommend it.

Burger  A little bit less cooked than the order
Kiarash A.

We went to this game place for a comedy show. We had dinner before the show. Both the dinner and the show were pleasant. The place is beautiful. The service at both the restaurant and the show was attentive and friendly and timely. The menu was pretty short. The wine and food were good. We Will definitely visit this place again for the he future shows.

Barcelona Wine Bar - Whipped sheep's cheese with truffle honey + chips

I went here with my friends before going to a show at The Benedum and it was a blast! I made a…read morereservation for 5:30 pm on a Friday and we got seated immediately. Our table had two servers assigned to us, which was interesting. I'll be honest, I was skeptical of the prices and that I would leave hungry, but I was proven wrong! I was extremely full, and we went during happy hour so we got one of those deals! Split between 3 people, the bill was pretty reasonable! We each got a personalized wine flight. I got a rosé, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio - the rosé was my fav! Everything else we ordered: -Whipped Sheep's cheese w/ truffle honey + chips -Jamón & Manchego Croquetas (happy hour deal) -Patatas Bravas (happy hour deal) -Mussels + homemade sausage -Albondigas aka spiced meatballs (happy hour deal) -Bacon wrapped dates -Potato tortilla -Spiced beef empanadas -Espresso martini -Chocolate cake Overall I really enjoyed everything! Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd say my least favorite thing was the bacon-wrapped dates (I just don't eat dates very much). I was a little disappointed in the size of the empanadas, I'm used to eating bigger ones from other restaurants, but they were still very tasty! The food came out fast and was super fresh! Our main server Becca was funny, relatable, and really made this such a fun experience! She also treated us to the sangria chug (not sure if that's the official name but that's what I'm calling it lol). The dim lighting and dark decor makes a perfect ambiance for a girls night or date night!

Barcelona Wine Bar is a nationwide chain with a location in downtown Pittsburgh…read more They've got over 400 wines as well as cocktails. Service for dinner and weekend brunch. I've only ever been for brunch and the offerings were delicious. We chose from an array of tapas that included olive oil pancakes, roasted carrots, gambas al ajillo, hummus, focaccia and more. I had a glass of Tierra Limpia (brut/sparkling) that was very good. The atmosphere is modern with European flair. Good service.

Why haven't I been here yet? Probably because I'm pescatarian. But I wanted to for a while because…read moreI love that the original final is from NY like me. I went here today for brunch with my friend and we had the vegetarian empanadas. Wow. I think they were the most delicious ones I have ever had. That's saying a lot cuz I'm Latina. The dough was the perfect texture and you could taste the freshness. And the filler ingredients were a delicious balance of flavors. For lunch I had the Ensalada nicoise. I'm very picky about my tuna - I only buy tuna from Basque Country in Spain. The salad was absolute perfection. The tuna was incredible. Each ingredient was fresh and absolutely wonderful. The salad was a perfect voice for lunch. The service was wonderful. The space was beautiful. Can't wait to return.

Super expensive for the food they offer. I'm from Argentina and this food is not Argentinian style…read more The service was very good and attentive. The ambience was really nice. I liked the place. The only food similar to Argentina was the empanadas, but were really small for a $12.00 price point. The flan was really disappointing, they don't even put dulce de leche or cream on it, it tasted t like one bought at a supermarket, so dull and again $12.00 ?? The Milanese de pollo was really good but not close to Argentinian style, no fries no fried eggs included. My issue is that they use the Argentinian style label as a marketing tool and they are not even close. The price was ridiculously high for the experience.
