Found this place during the NFL draft! Dive bar, good drinks and very economical. Service is cool…read more After a certain time they card and do a safety check. Thursday was a mixed crowd, good music, and you can order food near by and bring it in. Friday evening, came the regulars. Which means those who don't prefer out of towners. So I'm good on Lefty's on Friday night. I need good energy around me always. TV's with the games, upstairs and downstairs seating area. Small patio. If you go, go early, when the old heads are there.

For a dive bar, this was a great bar! Although, upon walking in, you are smacked in the face with…read morethe whiff of weed. We stopped in here for our last adventure of the night. We always like to drink local beers so hubs ordered us those and I found a table in the back. It was a good spot but it was so busy and loud that we could barely hear each other. There were televisions all over so you can watch basically anything you want. They had music playing and it was very lively. I am not sure if they had food or not and I do not recall smelling any. The bathrooms were okay and they were definitely not modern. The lighting was good and there was enough space throughout the place. No one was socializing with us but seemed to be everywhere in Pittsburgh.

What a great place! But I have to say off the bat I was not happy that we (2) could not get a…read morebooth. I was told be the rather short ( in attitude) make just ' those are only for larger parties). I will point out now the place was still empty when we left We had the Chicken (hot )and waffles we spicy syrup. Ask for the syrup on the side. They over poured on mine. It was very good. Also had the Diablo Pasta I felt my dish was spicy, which I enjoyed til the last bite. My counterpart thought their pasta was spicy and broke out in a sweat. Needless to say we will order both again! Down side. They do not have 'side' dishes. I wanted to try the Mac and cheese but was not interested in a big bowl. You could get away with appetizers and share as a meal.

So this place has so much potential. I went there hoping to order the ribs and when the waiter said…read morethey never should have put it on the menu because they never have it...really?!?! The food we ordered was really good though. My wife likes the Fried green tomatoes. Pretzel sticks were good...pretty standard pretzel stick so you shouldn't label it Bavarian. Bavarian pretzels are way more dense...this was easily out of a frozen box and heated up. Salmon entree was good tasting from my wife. Burger and Mac-n-cheese was solid according to my kids. I think I was so let down at the onset that I was just angry lol! With so many places to eat I likely won't be trying it again...sad to say because I like JA!

Big open space with tons of TVs. Food was very good. We had the fried pickles. They were slightly undercooked but not too bad. The ranch is fantastic! We had the chicken tenders and the fish and chips. Both were very tasty and good size portions. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was friendly and took care of us.

If you bring in vinyl, they will play it. All the music is vinyl, which is very cool. The ambiance is great, and it's a fun place to hang out. The outdoor patio is a good place to sit.

This appears to be a duplicate for the business but, I'll bite and write another review here…read more Spencer & his team do it again and again every year. This Halloween pop-up bar is hands down one of the best in the country. Themed, creepy, spooky, & ghoulish craft cocktails beyond your wildest imagination. Always spot on. Always delicious. And as always, a portion of sales are donated locally. Serving cocktails & the community. Bar staff and mixologists are some of the best in the business. Service is always stellar. Always. A lot of the drinks come in super fun themed cups & glasses. Don't be a D & steal them. This is a small business giving back.

I have an end of October birthday so I'm a sucker for all things Halloween…read more This place is so much fun. Every square inch is covered theme Halloween/spooky decor. Thankfully nothing is overly gory or too creepy. To avoid a line, it is best to go right at opening or about an hour before it closes. There is a list of fun themed drinks served in quirky glasses that match the theme of the drink (a mummy, for example). I visited three times and tried a different drink each time. One thing is that they can (and often do) search your bag to make sure you don't steal the glassware. Sad that they need to so that, but I guess I understand why they need to check. If you are looking for a quirky, fun experience while downtown, definitely check it out.

We got the pickle burger and pickle wings both with hand cut fries. The only thing pickle about the burger was that it was supposed to be cooked in pickle butter. I didn't taste anything special about it and it was really overcooked. Otherwise it was a decent burger. The wings were really good! Think lemon pepper but dill flavored. Really tasty. Service was alright but not spectacular. Ambiance is fine. Very loud inside but it is a bar vibe so that's to be expected.
