The inside is dimly lit and has that gorgeous chandelier. There's bar seating, a few tables on the ground floor, and a few tables on a higher level.

The refried beans with cheese, queso on top of the chimichanga, and plantains were amazing! Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and bland as you can see pictured.

Not only did the bar tender go above and beyond to find out what kind of drink would suit me best but the drink itself was also spectacular. I still have dreams about this martini. Be prepared to only drink a few though because they are quite strong. I would not expect to drive here and be able to drive home. The atmosphere is dark and intimate with a totally rad and almost New Orleans-ish flare to it. They allow smoking which is a bad thing if you don't like smoke hanging in the air, but it does add to the authentic old-timey bar feel if you're up for it. We came here for pre-dinner cocktails before heading over to Girasole (an amazing little old world Italian place) right next door. A fantastic pairing and the perfect night out. All in all, I would go here every weekend if I lived near. Since I have to make the trip by car service, it's saved for special occasions, which may just add to its overall charm for me.

I'm unsure why low reviewers complain about the smoke- this is a cigar bar. If you go to a cigar…read morebar, then expect smoke. It was exactly what my friends were looking for after dinner down the street. The cigars, drinks, were well-priced (although it is cash-only). The laid back vibe and tucked in booths were appreciated because we were in our own little world talking away. I don't have much to say about the bartenders because I didn't really interact with them. I think the only recommendation I have is to put the cigars in a humidor rather than a plastic bin. That was a bit off-putting.

Parker was kind enough to pick out a red and white that everyone would enjoy and the owners were so generous they gave us free chips and also samples of some vodkas and other drinks! Seriously the hospitality here was so special and absolutely created a homey and fun vibe while also keeping prices low because they don't charge a corking fee to drink their wines in store! The five of us drank two bottles of wine and it was only $8 a person and these were good quality wines. So much fun!

This has the vibe of a beat up speakeasy, which I loved. It was very intimate and the status…read moreextremely attentive. The hookah was excellent, but be aware the menu online isn't accurate. They do a seasonal rotating menu. I wish they served alcohol, but it is byob, so that doesn't really matter. Other than that I'll definitely go back. It was not your standard Pittsburgh experience for once.

We stopped by on Wednesday night around 10pm during their soft opening. We aren't hookah smokers…read morebut wanted to support a locally owned business, especially since they're taking over a space that has been vacant for years. They have coffee, tea, mocktails, and it's BYOB and we brought along some beers. The inside has a pretty big bar area, seating on a comfy couch, and some other chairs. There is also an outdoor patio in the back. The inside is moody without being too dark and has vibes reminiscent of a jazz bar. We talked with one of the owners, Max, and we chatted about all the work it took to revamp a space that had been vacant for years. Max was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about hookah and wants to turn his space in a community third space with lots of events. The staff was really nice and their grand opening is this weekend with live jazz. Wishing them success!!

My friend and I emailed a reservation request a few days prior to the game and when we arrived on game day, our table was ready for us. The space itself is spacious. There is ample seating (including seats at the bar) and it didn't felt cramped. The staff were super friendly and regularly checked in on us. They collabed with Square Cafe (which is next door) for some food and drink specials. Title 9 is a neat place to watch sports. Will definitely check it out again.

My friend and I come here every Friday for happy hour. Over the past few weeks, we noticed that our tabs didn't seem to match what we were actually drinking, so this time I decided to ask for our receipts. That's when we saw we were both charged for shots of Espolón tequila--something neither of us ordered. I was drinking margaritas and always ask for well tequila in mixed drinks. This makes me wonder how many times we've been charged for drinks we never had. Completely unacceptable. When we brought this up, we were told to speak with the manager to correct the tab. He was extremely rude and immediately accused us of ordering the shots, even though he wasn't present. He was more focused on watching RuPaul than helping. He then claimed my card had been declined weeks earlier, which forced me to call my bank and dispute a double charge. Thanks for the extra hassle. You come here expecting a good time and leave not wanting to return. Management clearly needs to address issues with staff to prevent this from continuing. That so-called manager has no business working in customer service. I've only seen him on Fridays and Saturdays--about 5'10", skinny, wearing sweats and a gray Carhartt beanie. He's always rude, but this encounter was beyond the limit. This happened around 9-10pm in the middle bar. If you decide to come here, be careful and always ask for your receipt--otherwise, you may end up overcharged.
