Excellent service in a friendly and clean environment. The food was tasty and the menu has a lot of items to pick from. Our table got the following apps: cheese curds, pickle fries, and pub pretzels. All were delicious, although I think marinara would have been better with the curds vs the tajin ranch. I had the jerk chicken sandwich and it was delicious....flavorful and juicy. Others had pizzas and they were all great. Their beers were good too....lots of options. read more

We went when it first opened and weren't impressed. We hadn't been there since and recently went again with friends and it was better. We sat at the high top tables by the bar to have some drinks and dinner. I had the blueberry mojito which was ok. My husband enjoyed his mixed drink. Our friends weren't wild about their beers. My friend and I really enjoyed the Mexican street corn risotto. My husband enjoyed his chicken salad. One friend enjoyed her cheesesteak. read more

Sat at the bar. Mike and another bartender waited on me. Pickle fries were great! Pizza I had was a special but it was really good too. The beer was good. The sour was really good. The other beers I got in my flight was good but the fruited sour really stood out to me. Service was great. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I was excited to try breakfast here, i faced the outdoors and saw the hillside which created a unique and quiet space. From seating, to ordering to getting my food the service was timely I got the drink special and ordered the breakfast with a hillside. It was sweet with the drink and savory with the meal. I loved the bacon with eggs and potato hash which was a hardy portion. read more

I finally got the chance to check out Coughlin's Law, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, and the space was large and open. We visited for lunch with a large group, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the margherita pizza, pierogi pie, diablo pizza, turkey bacon brie sandwich, burger, and kids' mac and cheese. Everything arrived quickly, and was delicious. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back spot with good food and drinks, Coughlin's Law is definitely worth a visit. read more

Coughlin's is an easy going brewery atmosphere. The food is good but nothing super stand out. It's a great spot for a bite to eat, meet with friends and enjoy a cold one or just a meal out of the house. It's been a great addition to the Mt Nebo area that has always lacked a modern, good eats menu. This location has a small arcade upstairs that is nice to entertain the kids for a bit. I enjoyed the jerk chicken cheesesteak - a fun twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak. Throw fries are dusted with a seasoning that is good and palatable for children. I ordered my daughter a kids cheeseburger with fries and the fries came dusted on her plate too. I didn't eat the crab Rangoon nachos but they were a favorite at our table. Service was friendly and quick! read more

The beer and the food were alright. Our server was friendly and helpful. The crab rangoon nachos were unique, delicious and crispy. The smoked wings started off well, but just got saltier as I continued eating. The same with the black bean burger for the other diner. I would go back if others wanted to, but may stick to the pizzas like many other diners. Nice open space with plenty of tv screens, but a bit on the loud side. read more

Coughlin's Law (which my waitress explained was named after the 1988 Tom Cruise movie Cocktail) is a local, casual restaurant that has two locations in the Pittsburgh area--this one in Mount Nebo and another one on Mount Washington. My husband and I ate one dinner here. The menu listed salads, wings, sandwiches, pizzas, entrees such as pasta and steak, in-house beers, cocktails, mocktails, etcetera. Our waitress performed her job well. Here is what we ate: Crab rangoon nachos - 4 stars - Wonton chips were covered in sweet chili glaze, large chunks of imitation crab meat (which my husband liked), green onion, and black sesame seeds. Apricot bourbon salmon - 4 stars - The salmon was cooked nicely and was juicy and flavorful. For sides, the mixed vegetables had a bit too much oil, and the brussels sprouts could use more flavor. Chicken cordon bleu sandwich - 4 stars - My husband said that the chicken was slightly overfried and hard, but the flavors from the arugula, onions, prosciutto, cheese, and dijonaise were good. He liked the side of crispy fries. The total price was $54 plus tax and tip. read more

A friend of mine recently started work so a couple of us came in on her first day to hang out and grab a bite. I'm not really sure what I was expecting but everything was delicious. To start off we had the crab Rangoon nachos, which were recommended and it was easy to see why as they were awesome, and the fried pickles. Then we all shared the diablo pizza, smoked bbq wings, and the peach bacon burger. The pizza was pretty good, the crust was a little bit doughey but I like that. The wings were delicious, just needed more sauce in my opinion, but it wasn't the end of the world as they were still juicy even without it. The burger was the biggest pleasant surprise. I was going to order the coughlin burger because of the fun smoke but just couldn't resist the peach burger and it was definitely the right choice with a great sweet and savory balance. Will definitely be coming back in the future to try more! I often like to get super weird with my beer choices and they had a lot of choices to choose from that were all pretty good. read more

Food, the appetizers were the best part; pizza, Brussels in balsamic, fried pickles. Just don't get the chicken wings, all bone no meat. We had 5 plates of the entrees of fish or pork were the 3 stars. There were a few burgers picked but not photogenic. Came here for a party of ten. Not ideal location for a party of ten, seated at the entrance with the view of four employees after the hostess counter. Wished they had a hangout space instead of their current options. There was a PLUS; not many options but suffice the itch to put their feet on the table. The arcade for the kids to do something other than sit. Location and Parking is excellent. Picked since there was family coming from NY and WV. read more

This was my first time ordering from CL and it was delivered via Uber Eats. I ordered the Black Bean burger with one add-on item and fries. The add-on wasn't included, the bun was dry (stale), and the patty tasted like it had been microwaved vs. grilled. A disappointing veggie burger this was. ps. I looked for an email address or a place to submit feedback on their website directly-none could be found. Sorry to leave a negative review, but I hope the manager sees this. Also, please include an ingredient list (or at least allergen info.) for the menu online--I didn't know if this veggie burger was made with soy, grain or ?? read more

Great first experience here. Big location with a variety of seating options, especially outside on a nice day. The menu had a lot of tasty looking options. I got the smoked chicken wings with season salt. The wings were excellent! I love a whole chicken wing, and they were fresh, meaty, and packed with flavor. I also ordered the caprese salad. It's big enough to share. The burrata was a great addition. The green goddess dressing was fantastic and paired well with the balsamic. My wife enjoyed her smoked chicken bbq platter. I would love to come back and try more! read more

Had a nice late lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. Staff super helpful. Hubby accidentally ordered the wrong burger, and they offered to fix it. (He ended scraping off the toppings, and it was fine.). Fries are skinny but dusted with something that smells appetizing. I had the risotto and wish I had added some grilled salmon, as the portion was a little on the small side. Thirsty dish what with the cheese on it. Had sports on the TVs and a good amount of parking in their lot. read more

There was a large party upstairs, but even downstairs it was amazingly loud for lunchtime. I'm so glad I have earplugs with me almost always. I don't expect it since the other location wasn't bad when we were there. The food was delicious just like the other location. I missed them leaning into the law theme on the menu, but as a counterpoint my dad was happy they eliminated it. The only disappointing things were the fries and chips. They were supposed to have seasoning, but the fries barely had any and I found none on the chips. The service was bad. Very bad. It took ages after I ordered two samples for my order to be taken. I gave our waitress an empty bottle of jets up and asked for one back. When the table across from us left, I stole theirs. She never brought ketchup. I told her that they should put a bottle on the other table since I had to steal it. Not even an apology for forgetting about us. Hopefully, she'll move on to a better job for her soon. I'll definitely go back. It's not as out of the way as the other location and has free parting, which is also nice. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. read more

Extremely impressed by the improvements Coughlin's has made over the past year. I stopped in for a Friday evening dinner and was quickly seated. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I went with the "French Onion Dip Grilled Cheese" which was easily the best item I've ever had from Coughlin's. Au Jus with a steak and onion filled grilled cheese is a game changer. 10/10 I'll be ordering this again next time I stop in. Also got Coughlin's "All Czeched Out" Pilsner.... Solid brew, very tasty. Overall, great experience. Service was so quick that I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

I was excited to go to the place because they had a good decently sized Gluten Free Menu and I wanted to explore it. The Broccoli Cheddar Soup was different than I have had before. They use potatoes as their thickening agent so that made for a not so smooth textured soup but the flavor wasn't bad. The Crab Rangoon Nachos were really good but it was really rich and I couldn't eat too many as it made me full really quickly. My boyfriend said the Coughlin Burger was pretty good but the bun fell apart upon cutting but all around it was good. The bar tender was very nice and attentive and the bar was cute. The theme was on par with what you'd expect it being loosely based of theories Cocktail. I didn't think it was bad at all just would explore the menu further and try other things. read more

Our group of eight ended up at Coughlin's Law on a random Monday night, because why not roll the dice on a dinner adventure? The evening had its ups, downs, and a lot of sodium--but hey, at least we left hydrated (from all the beer, not the water). Let's start with a major win: separate checks were handled flawlessly. No eye rolls, no calculator math at the table, no "we can only do four cards" situation. That's a rare and beautiful thing when dining out in a group. Gold star. Now, the service. Our server was doing her absolute best while seemingly covering the entire restaurant alone. She was friendly, fast on her feet, and honestly could probably run a marathon in her sleep at this point. That said, we did have to ask for pretty much everything: refills, napkins, silverware, the works. Nothing outrageous, just... all of it. A little backup for her would've gone a long way. As for the food--well, let's just say the kitchen's philosophy leans heavily toward "season boldly and carry a big salt shaker." Wings, burgers, steak sandwich, Reuben, fries--if you're watching your sodium, maybe just stick to the beer list. The flavors weren't bad, just super salty across the board. Speaking of beer: this is where Coughlin's shines. $4 Monday night drafts? Yes, please. Even better a to go $4 four-pack from their cooler of select cans. That alone made the trip worthwhile and might have caused a few of us to consider becoming "Monday regulars." So yeah--service was stretched thin, food was a little overzealous with the salt, but the drink specials were fantastic and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Would we come back? Probably, but maybe just for drinks... and maybe with a bottle of water stashed in the car. read more

I have made multiple trips here in the recent months and I continue to be so beyond satisfied with this place. It fills my heart to see a full parking lot here. I have tried so many of their winter menu items! My favs are the birria Mac n cheese and the French onion dip grilled cheese! Their crispy brussel sprouts appetizer is also to die for and you can't go wrong with any of their salads! I've never had a bad meal here and it's always such a delight to see and talk with Adrienne here! read more

Since they've been open for a bit, I wanted to give another try. My hazy IPA was exceptional. No one note outshined any other. Good balance and smooth. Wedgie was fresh and big. Funnel cake with ice cream was very good and held the crisp. Prices looked decent; my wedgie was $13. Very fair. My criticism is their dressings. The one "perfect" condiment for food allergy sufferers is (not creamy) Italian dressing. It's no egg, no dairy, few polysorbates, no fruit, etc.. it's basically vinegar/oil/spices, and it fixes most issues. Kids don't like the veggie? Bam! Italian dressing. Sandwich lacking flavor? Bam! Italian dressing. I could go on as nauseum. I did, however, like the manager who checked on us. This is not a chain and life isn't perfect, but I appreciate the care put into their food. Also, they wipe each individual eating utensil prior to rolling into a napkin for the table. A small but awesome extra step. Ambiance is open concept. I see an arcade upstairs. Perhaps I'll bring the kids to check that out one evening. read more

I've eaten here a few times. The burgers are delicious, and are cooked to requested doneness. Service is always prompt and attentive. Had the lobster sliders today, I'd pass on them in the future. 3 sliders, nice portion, but very bland. The only way I knew it was lobster was because the menu said it was.

We came to celebrate a birthday, and we had a great time here. There was ample seating on a Friday night. Our waitress Sarah was very helpful and patient with us. We probably stayed here for a good 2+ hours and we weren't rushed at all. I would say this place is ideal for groups. My smoked wings with garlic parm were so good! Easily one of my top five favorite wings. It was a little pricey for wings though. Our flight of beer was also very tasty. I can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

We were looking forward to some menu items we saw online but they were on a lunch menu only 1130-3:00. No big deal since one of those items we wanted happened to be a pizza which is available for lunch. They have a brick oven for their pizzas and it came out great. Salad was excellent as well. Water is from a plastic pitcher and has an off taste to it (I know, ordering water at However, our waitress was cold and uninviting. Walked away as my wife was still talking to her. We tried to look past it as she seemed to be the only one on the floor but it just completely killed the vibe for us. Payment is awkward as they hold the machine in front of you and you have to select from a 18% or so minimum tip amount, their is an option to do a "custom" tip but that just adds to the awkwardness. We joked that they must reserve their good waiting staff for the dinner menu but I don't think we'll be back to see. Such a disappointment as it looked like a fresh and new location. read more

Coughlin's North Hills location has a super sweet outdoor seating area. Two areas actually - a deck upstairs and a concrete patio on the first floor with corn hole, Jenga, and a huge Connections game. Our server was good and our Smoked Chicken nachos came out really fast. The nacho chips were good but it could be better if they layered on some fixings instead of just putting it all on top. The jalapeños were super fresh and spicy and the pickled onions were a nice punch of acid that complemented the moist smoked chicken. Their espresso martini was not anything like what I've had before. Be warned: they put Baileys Irish Cream and Frangelica in it so it's super sweet and sort of gross, to be honest. Usually, an espresso martini has espresso, vodka, and Kahlua and that's pretty much it. If you like sweet, you will like their version although the Italians I know may have big issues with an Irishman being invited to their martini party. Their Coughlin Pale Ale was decent. The staff are all very friendly and nice and the place was lively on a beautiful summer evening. read more

Delicious, cool draft selection, but expensive. I saw this on a Yelp review months ago then had an Uber driver that recommended it.

I stopped by here this past Saturday night with my wife for dinner. We happened to be alone for the evening and had a gift certificate to Coughlins Law Kitchen and so we headed there. This location of Coughlins is in Mt Nebo Pointe and my wife and I watched with interest as it was recently purpose built for Coughlins. The inside of the restaurant is massive with two floors and space for a couple of hundred people. There are TVs everywhere too and so I imagine it's a great place to watch sports. I had a view of the door and hostess station from my seat and I don't think that there was ever a time people weren't waiting and it's not like they were going slow either. It's worth noting that there were quite a number of kids coming in. For dinner on this evening I chose the birria mac and cheese while my wife went with the orecchiette and added grilled chicken. The menu described mine as birria, mac and cheese, roasted garlic crema and crispy fried onions and my wife's as Pesto Cream Sauce, Garlic, Shallots, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichokes, Spinach and Feta. Our food came out rather quickly and my Mac and cheese was luke warm on arrival. Thankfully it tasted pretty good and the cheese portion was creamy and the meat itself was flavorful. The crema added a nice pop of tanginess which broke up the richness of the cheese sauce while the onions added some flavor and a nice crunch. My wife also enjoyed her pasta, especially the sun dried tomatoes andartichokes. Then as I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a sampler here. At Coughlins that consists of 4 of the house made beers for $12. For my beers here I chose the Law's Belgian Wheat, I hate the "Browns" ale, Laws Pineapple Sour and the Don't worry, be hoppy. First up for me was the Laws Belgian Wheat. It was smooth on the front with the wheat flavor coming in at the finish tasting exactly how you would picture a wheat beer. Second was the I Hate the "Browns" Ale. On this beer the carbonation lets itself known from the start before it finishes with a taste that reminded both my wife and myself of a cream ale. Up third for me was the Laws Pineapple Sour. It was a very pineapple forward beer without being super sweet and it had a nice lasting pineapple finish with what I thought was a hint of coconut at the finish. It was Super drinkable and delicious. Last but certainly not least was the Don't Worry Be Hoppy which had a clean start with a hoppy finish. There was nothing crazy about this IPA and sometimes simple is better. Out of all of the beers that I tried here the Laws Pineapple was definitely my favorite and my wife's as well. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our beers and the food and with the number of kids in the restaurant, we may even bring ours. read more

Giving Coughlin's the benefit of the doubt since they're recently opened, but we were not very impressed when we stopped in for lunch over the weekend. The space is nice and open with ample seating over two floors, and they're in the process of adding in-house brewing. Our server was very nice and checked in on us often, but the food wasn't anything great. We ordered the Veg Head pizza and what we received looked nothing like the pictures online. It was also very flimsy, undercooked, and bland, as well as smaller than expected for the price (pizzas ranged from about $16-$20). We also thought it was strange all fries were removed from the menu, when our friends had gone a couple nights before and recommended the fries; the only side option when we were there was chips. The smoked wings also landed flatly, with no "smoked" flavor to them, and the burgers were just okay. read more

This place needs work. The service was really poor, and it seems like I'm not the only person that thinks this. Our server hardly checked on us. We were going to order a second round of beers but didn't have a chance to. The only time he surprised us was when it was time for the check (which we had to flag him down for) and he finally asked how everything was.... And we had to tell him the chicken in my dish was raw. Why aren't the managers/owners walking around and asking how customers are doing when there are many reviews complaining about service? I watched the management walking around aimlessly acting like they had nothing to do. Bad look guys. Take notes. We received a discount but really we would just like to see the managers doing better with training. Also, the payment method is super awkward. You pay on a portable machine and the server stands there while you decide what their tip is, which is uncomfortable considering the service was poor. The poutine was excellent (fries saved the day). My chicken dish with veggies was great aside from several pieces of chicken being undercooked. Decent beer selection and half off beers during the Steelers game was a nice touch. Maybe we will try the location in Mt. Washington, because this one was disappointing. read more

Who would have thought that just a week later, the Steelers would be playing another night game, and we'd find ourselves back at Coughlin's Law--this time at the location where the beers are brewed. The place is spacious and has a fantastic outdoor area, which I imagine would be great when it's not cold and snowing. Perched on the hillside at the Pointe, it's in a prime spot that's hard to miss. We met up with my brother and nephew here for drinks and appetizers. We shared the chicken nachos, and they were absolutely spectacular. The pizzas looked incredible, so that's definitely on the list for next time. As fans of the movie Cocktail, @winecraft couldn't help but notice the inspiration behind the name "Cocktails and Dreams," seemingly drawn from the iconic 1988 film starring Tom Cruise. This time, though, we finally got to sample a flight of beers. The selection included: I Hate the Browns Ale - A flavorful Brown Ale with a 5.3% ABV. Flanagan's Red Ale - A well-balanced American Amber/Red Ale at 5.1% ABV. Law's Vienna Lager - A smooth Vienna Lager at 5% ABV. Law's Nitro Stout - A creamy Irish Dry Stout with a 4.9% ABV. The experience was great, and we're already looking forward to trying more on our next visit! Cheers!! read more

My first visit to Coughlin's Law did not disappoint. Every item I had was excellent. The pineapple sour beer I had was delicious and our crab rangoon nachos were awesome -- the portion is more than enough for 2 people. I had the Coughlin's burger, which had pork belly, bacon jam, roasted garlic aioli, red cabbage slaw and arugula. It was perfection -- one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I couldn't finish the potato salad I got with it, but the few bites I had were great. I'd recommend this place to others -- great place for a date night or to watch a game. There's something on the menu for everyone -- larger plate meals, pizza, barbecue and elevated bar food/appetizers. read more

My wife and I were excited to try this new restaurant new our home. We purchased a gift card from Just Pay Half Pittsburgh which we patronize many local businesses on this app. Wow. What a terrible experience. I have reached out to their feedback site and crickets! Not only were the sandwiches cold with wet buns, the fries and thank goodness the beer was cold to help wash down the meal. On top of that, because I purchased a gift card on the JPH app, the waiter said "we need to charge an automatic 25% tip because the manager said we've had issues with this coupon". The waitress was great but food and customer experience, deserves "no stars" on this rating. In addition, the food prep area, which is visible to the customers, was dirty, and an open bag of Twizzlers was next to the open food for staff. I should have known something was not right when after three minutes of ordering our food, on our way down steps from balcony to use the restrooms, our food was on the way up the steps to our table. Who makes "fresh" sandwiches and fries that fast? Couglin's broke the law with customer expectations. I reached out to ask for some type of feedback and give them another opportunity to retain a forgiving customer experience...but lost hope in their "judicial" system. read more
