I think this is one of the better spots downtown. I prefer to come for a casual lunch more than dinner because it is a lot louder inside at night. I love their flatbreads and their burgers are pretty good. One time I got their Ceasar salad and it was a bit disappointing for the price. It is a nice spot if you want to watch any game that's going on and it's a great spot in Market Square. read more

Jesus Christ. I think they microwaved leftover Applebees and gave it to us. I get it's a chain but good lord, boys what are we doing here? It was worse than movie theatre food. Felt like I was eating wings from a cosmic bowling alley. Im 100% positive they mixed our ranch with 4 ounces of water. Our wings tasted like pork. Our fries were undercooked. Fried apps legit tasted like it was out of the freezer section of a grocery store. Aa I'm eating peanut butter Oreos in bed and I don't like peanut butter. I also had a panic attack at a coffee shop today. read more

Unfortunately, we had an issue with our bill during our visit. Our server charged us for another table's order and only provided a total on the handheld payment device--no itemized receipt. I questioned the amount twice because it seemed unusually high and was assured it was correct. After paying, I requested the receipt and discovered we had been charged for an entirely different table. While the incorrect charge was refunded, no discount for the inconvenience was offered. Our actual bill ended up being less than half of what we were initially charged- as I initially insisted the amount charged was incorrect. read more

Great food and service. I stopped in for lunch and this will be added to my lunch rotation when I'm working Downtown. The menu is extensive so they have something for everyone. I will definitely add them to my list if I come Downtown for a show, the drink menu was impressive. read more

Service was lackluster, crowded seating and super LOUD. Over all very overpriced for what you get and it is college bar food at best with fancy words. The beer battered Cod was a small, grease soaked mess. The Cole slaw was kind of room temperature warm with a very light dressing and the fries seemed to be cooked at too low of a temperature and were really not worth eating. I was wondering why so many tables around us had fries left on the plates but realized as soon as ours arrived. No one at our table ate more than one or two. The cheddar Mac could have come straight from a box and the Steak Bowl was.....really a little steak tip with a side of rice and a side of broccoli. So a "deconstructed" steak bowl. A very large beer selection seems to be the establishments biggest draw. read more

I have been here several times, and I feel this is a perfect 3.5 restaurant. It always has a clean feeling with tons of workers, but the food could be hit or miss. The last time we went my food was a hit and my husbands was a miss. We were here for brunch on Saturday with some friends to start a birthday celebration. We got two appetizers...fried pickles and the popcorn chicken. Both options were a great choice! My meal was so good. I got the BLTE with no arugula with the cheesy potato casserole. The sandwich was swoon worthy...loved the bacon and garlic aioli. My husband got a salad and there was some sort of herb that he really did not like...sadly at all! read more

I love this place. It's always so lively, the employees are always nice, and the service is quick most of the time. The beer selection is phenomenal.

Arrived near opening on a weekday. Within an hour it was packed with the corporate lunch crowd. Definitely popular with the locals. Our server Honesty was genuinely passionate that we also left in love with the place and assuredly we did. Loved the eclectic menu, the presentation of food and drinks, outstanding service, epic location in Market Square and the food was delicious. Perfect respite while walking Pittsburgh to thoroughly enjoy its people, local color, grand architecture and irreplaceable epic vibe! read more

Dined outside for lunch on a beautiful fall day. Our waitress Lachelle was a 10/10! My friend and I each started with a cucumber mule which was delicious and refreshing. We then shared chicken tacos and the brisket egg rolls. The tacos were really good, the chicken had great flavor. The egg rolls were good but I personally didn't love them. All in all would recommend this place, great beer/drink selection. Lots of TVs to catch a game, nice vibe. read more

I visited City Works with a large party (16 people) on a Friday afternoon. We made a reservation a few weeks before our visit so they were ready for our party to arrive. The greeters and waitstaff were great for the most part. Towards the end, it took a while to get our check. But the food was good. I ordered a house salad and the southern Mac n cheese (no red onions in mine). In addition to the food being good, the location is prime and they have a great bar area to watch sports on. read more

7/29/25 Ate List: Grilled Chicken Sandwich - 8.4 A surprisingly solid lunch. When they opened, spot was less crowded than expected for a lunch rush. Portion size was ideal, flavors were spot on, and as a whole was a very solid first impression. If this was just a touch cheaper - this spot would become a near weekly occurrence for me. read more

We ducked into CW during Picklesburg to cool off and grab a bite for lunch. Our server, Logan, was super nice and took our orders quickly. We tried three of their Brunch options: the classic breakfast, the chiliquillis and the breakfast tacos. The side of potato casserole was very delicious and heavy with cheese and bacon. The tacos had lots of scrambled egg, some bacon and smoked tomato with an extra add on of avocado that was pretty puny to be honest. They were good. Their espresso martini was very good, not overly sweet and their pickle martini was awesome. They always have an incredible beer selection too. This place is a solid and reliable option when you're in town and good for larger parties. read more

City Works in Downtown Pittsburgh is highly recommended! The inviting atmosphere, with its open windows, numerous sports screens, and great music, caught our attention. The friendly and awesome staff, excellent service, timely food delivery, and amazing drinks made it the perfect choice. If you're in the area looking for a fun place to eat, check out City Works in Downtown Pittsburgh. Cheers! read more

Let's start with the positive, and let's face it, it's gonna be mostly positive. The atmosphere here was great! For it being such a busy weekend, (Pitt graduation weekend), our server Matt, was phenomenal! We had a party of 13, and Matt handled us flawlessly, he was personable and made the experience that much more enjoyable; from cracking jokes, to recommending menu items, to bringing me a taster of beer to sample! To drink, I first tried the orange old fashioned, which was good, my only complaint is they used cubed ice, instead of one big ice cube, so it became watered down fast. My second drink was a beer, bumble berry ale, which was crisp, refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. Now, what we've all been waiting for, the food! I ordered the smokehouse combo, with pulled pork and pulled chicken. My sauces were classic bbq and mango habanero. My sides were French fries and coleslaw. The pulled chicken was very good. I was shocked it came pre-sauced due to being able to order two sauces with the meats. The sauce that came with was very good. Had a bit of a cake and overall I enjoyed it. Now onto the pulled pork, which I'm assuming was smoked pork shoulder you could absolutely taste the smoke flavor and I'm assuming they used mesquite wood. Unfortunately, the pulled pork was quite dry and not up to my expectations. Both were delicious with my favorite being the mango habanero perfect amount of sweetness to counteract heat. French fries fries are absolutely just french fries. Coleslaw was delicious, it was not a vinegar coleslaw it was your usual mayonnaise coleslaw but it was not a typical group you're used to at a church picnic or potluck. Overall, I would recommend if you go ask for Matt as your server. read more

Located in Market Square, a large restaurant with tons of seating and a huge bar that offers TONS of drink/beer options. Not sure about parking as we walked there. There is some construction happening so things are a little out of sort with the square itself. We did have reservations as they were easily made on the website. However, not sure we would have needed them. The employees were nice and friendly. Not as attentive due to being busy. Food came out quick. Menu options are good. Things were tasty but nothing that we will talk about having to have again. Typical bar grub. Reasonable prices for what you get. read more

Was staying nearby and needed a place to grab a quick bite before starting the night and this was perfect for just that. They had a pretty good beer list so we had a couple of flights and since i know what I like when it comes to beer I knew id be just fine. I was a little disappointed that I couldnt make my own flight, I feel like it shouldnt be hard to give people the choice but otherwise solid choice for lite bites and beers. read more

The beer selection here is excellent, and they get bonus points for incentivizing folks to drink locally brewed beers during happy hour. Their food portions are small for the price, so I advise you to go during happy hour and stick to the dishes that are discounted. The service was also hit or miss the night I stopped in. All said, I think this is an ok place to gather occasionally but I wouldn't make it a habit. read more

Some of the worst service imaginable. Had to request water 3 separate times and didn't even get it until we asked the 3rd time. The food was what you can expect from bar food, the wings had a good smokiness to them and the ribs were tender and fell off the bone. Really recommend the spicy BBQ sauce. Ambiance is loud, seems upscale but definitely see people in tanks and t-shirts. Its what you can expect out of a sports bar. Music was more club like which was disappointing because theres no where to dance and enjoy it. Won't be back again unless im wasted beyond belief. read more

The cajun linguine turned out to be pretty good here: a generous serving with lots of small chicken pieces and some andouille sausage and bits of vegetables in the pasta with an addictive creamy sauce. Only odd thing concerned the shrimp offered as an additional add-in. Unlike all the other non pasta ingredients, they weren't grilled. Service a little slow, but reliable. read more

Located in the bustling area of city square... there are lots of restaurants and bars here. The area has a nice vibe to it and seems to be a popular destination for tourists. This restaurant comes up a lot on Yelp so we gave it a try. It's basically a giant sports bar with lots of tragically hip guys wearing their ball caps backwards and regurgitating what they heard that morning on ESPN. Food is okay so you will be fine there as there are quite a few items to choose from. Service is also okay but not anything that's a wow. Probably the best item they have is the flatbread. read more

City Works - Flatbread - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The restaurant was clean and we were greeted quickly. The initial service was okay... but it went down hill from there. The salad had no dressing on it, when we asked, we were told it was tossed in it. It was dry... the waitresses did fix it after we showed her. The crab dip appetizer wasn't anything to write home about... I suggest you skip it for the price they charge. The carnivore flatbread pizza was fair... nothing special. You could probably score a better pizza from the frozen section of Walmart. Then we waited 30 mins for a check, and we had to chase down our server for the dressing as mentioned earlier and then the check. I hate to leave a bad review but... this place is nice for cleanliness and the drinks... but below average for food and service. read more

City Works you might call "New American" but it's really good bar food with something for everyone (and an amazing beer selection). My friend and I stopped here one evening for dinner. We were seated quickly (and got our food quickly too). The tacos were great - seasoned properly, had nice flavor, and the chips were nice and crispy. The guacamole was fresh too. The server lady was super nice too. They also mail out coupons from time to time. Great place and look forward to returning. read more

Great visit to City Works. Easy and free street parking in the downtown area after 6pm on weekdays. Found lots of parking about 2 blocks aways at around 7pm. Great location in the middle of Market Square...lots of activity but not too crowded. Lots of table seating (both indoor and outdoor) as well as a long bar with stools. With tons of beer on tap...there is something for every beer-lover. A wide selection of spirits as well. Interesting food menu too...I decided to go with the Scorpion Burger which was really...really...good. All the other food items coming out of the kitchen looked great too. Great staff throughout my visit. I would love to return to try some other items. read more

I had the pleasure of being served by Micheal and he was so sweet. I told him that it was my first there so he was very patience with giving me time to look over the menu. He recommended me a refreshing cider that was actually pretty good and for my meal option he recommended that I put the Nashville hot sauce on the side because it can be powerful. So glad he suggested that because I don't think that I would have enjoyed my wrapped as much as I did had it be drenched with hot sauce. The wrap was actually more fulfilling than I expected, and the fries were cooked just right. I did come during happy hour so it was a little loud but I did enjoy the multiple TVs and space in between my table and others. Thank you city works! read more

Great spot for sports and beer. Wife had the shrimp kung poe, it was above average. Didn't get any other food so not gonna falut them on that. Beer was nice and cold and the bartender was nice and cool. The biggest plus was that it was a Sunday night and they open late. Great atmosphere. Traveling on vacation so it made our trip much more enjoyable to not end the night early. I would definitely come back. read more

Visited City Works Restaurant in Pittsburgh, which was more like a sports bar than a restaurant. They had a large selection of craft beers and I opted for a four beer flight which I enjoyed. Food was good, but nothing to write home about. Basic sports bar burgers, flatbreads, etc.... What we got was prepared well. Server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, if looking for sports bar with casual atmosphere, large craft beers and decent pub food, then City Works is your place. If looking to explore the extensive diverse food offering in Pittsburgh, then would hit the strip or Forbes Street by Pittsburgh University. Enjoy! read more

The food was excellent and the price was right. I loved the way the tables were set up. I went there for a birthday gathering. The menu was fabulous . Portion great for lunchtime.

City works has an awesome atmosphere for sports lovers! There were games on every inch of available wall. The service was fantastic too.

I had an okay experience here. It might've been tainted due to the after Pirates game crowd, but I'm unsure. I had the hot honey flatbread which was okay, all in all. Our server was also ok. He tried to put in a lot of humor into every interaction which was fun at times, but also not so much so after so long. Then there was also a drunken ordeal that went on nearby my table to which security had to escort a couple out. I'll have to give this spot another try, but my first impression was unfortunately just ok due to these factors. read more

Had lunch here, food was very good, I had the chicken tinga tacos, wife had Cajun pasta, shell fish allergy, so happy to see a Cajun pasta without shrimp. She said it was good, I tried it, good taste. Good beer selection and good sports bar atmosphere. Service was not good. Waiter came around with trainee, but they were never together again. After food came, we got a quick "how does everything look", then crickets, no check backs, no water refill, no drink refill, no more beer (it's a sports bar priding itself in it's number of beers offered). Finally came back, every plate and drink was empty, "yes, we are ready to go", waited again for 10 minutes, finally brings the bill, which was easily paid at the table. read more

While at the Christmas Market in downtown today, we decided to grab lunch from City Works. The place is well lit and has tv's everywhere. We found the service to be extremely slow. Although we were greeted somewhat quickly it took a long time to get drinks and we were even short a drink. The other drink took forever to come and ordered two beers while asking where the other drink was we found their beer menu to be inaccurate in the sizes and pricing. We All finally ordered food. Our pretzel app came out quickly, the pretzels were drenched in grease or butter. My daughter had chicken tenders and fries. She ate her fries but hated the chicken. I had a brunch chicken biscuit. It was so dry! I did ask our server to get me more of whatever sauce was in the chicken because the meat was overcooked and dry and the biscuit was dry. He brought the sauce out and despite drenching it, I didn't eat very much. Too dry and had a strange flavor. My wife got eggs and bacon, the bacon was not cooked enough for her. My dad got a breakfast flatbread that despite looking appetizing wasn't. We sat without drinks for quite a while before flagging server down and asking for water or anything. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! The chicken tenders were very flavorful, the fries were also salty and absolutely delicious. Our server, Asaunte, was very nice and very helpful, and funny too, along with the multiple tv's playing many football games I liked as well as any other things. The table was cool looking, and the seats were very comfortable (we were in a booth). 5/5 Stars would definitely go again! (P.S.
