She said it was the best Mac and cheese she'd ever had (I beg to differ... my homemade is surely better lol). We ordered the Pittsburgh Pierogies as a shared appetizer. These were pan seared and very good - came with a sour cream sauce, grilled onions, green onions, and some greens. Highly recommend! I had the Reuben - it had Gruyère vs Swiss and was pretty good. It came with fries, which were good, and a coleslaw that was very good - wife said "best she's ever had". Service from Clara was very good!

The time I was there for breakfast everything was flawless. Service was on point, food was accurate and delicious. Another time I was there for dinner and I was surprised I was at the same place. It took forever to get served, items were forgotten and it almost seemed like we were an inconvenience to our server. I think that overall, this is a cool restaurant with a great view of the city and a fun vibe. They just need to work on the consistency of their service.

The hangover cure burger had so many good toppings, I still think about it. They also have fun drinks and draft options. The vibe of the place is really cool and chill and I really like going there. I have been here a couple times in the past, and it was very good. The time before this time that we went, I did not have such a good time. A lot of their fryers were down and just limited menu options. But this trip definitely made up for it. I would call ahead of time and make sure that all of their menu options are still an option before you go.

The food was fine. We ordered a garden salad, which was perfectly serviceable. We also ordered a falafel platter, which was generally lacking. It was basically a platter of hummus with sad falafel and some tiny pitas. It could have used some vegetables and color, and it didn't feel particularly inspired. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but the space also felt awkwardly quiet at times. There weren't many people around on a Thursday evening, which felt odd. Either way, it's right there on Mt Washington and not at all pretentious. So I'll take it.

Service was casual and friendly and the decor felt kind of homey, like a typical tavern. They have a large and creative drink menu. I got an espresso martini with tequila and it was perfect. Their menu is pretty diverse with everything from a crab cake patty melt to a pork belly bahn mi. I got the stuffed chicken entree with confit herbed fingerling potatoes. The chicken had a great flavor and I loved the mushrooms and caramelized onion sauce inside. The potatoes were delish. I was also intrigued by their mac and cheese entree and fried pickled tomatoes. Unfortunately. I'm not from the area and doubt I'll return for these but they sound delicious. Mt friend for the gastro burger without bun. Looked good.

Examples of menu items are chicken and waffles, grits, sandwiches, salads, loaded fries, and wings. I was a customer here once for takeout. The restaurant has two floors--the first floor with a gorgeous library, which I think would be a great spot for kids to study and adults to work, and the second floor with a bar and party space for private events. One of the owners promptly greeted me, took my order and payment, and made pleasant conversation while I waited for my foods to be cooked. She showed me the cool lit-up selfie spot near the bathroom mirror and door. I ordered the Troomy Chicken Club (grilled chicken tenders, bacon, troomy sauce, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, and onion) with a side of Loaded Fries and also six Whole Wings with my chosen flavor of parmesan. All three foods were very fresh and tasty very good, but I would recommend adding a bit more parmesan to the wings.

The pickle chips with Troomy sauce were perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the loaded fries were a perfect shareable appetizer.

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 .

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.
