BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

A true bummer. This place has a prime time location on the square, good set up for sports and a…read moregood idea behind the menu, Gourmet Grilled Cheeses. Unfortunately that's were the good ends. First and always foremost, how was the food? An absolutely mess. Impossible to enjoy bc the sandwich falls apart immediately, simply can not pick up without losing everything inside, and greasy as all get out. I should have expected this to an extent, but a nearly $20 grilled cheese at a place that "specializes" in them, I would hope could do better than this. Service was very, very slow despite many open seats. The part that probably sent it over the top was the plate runner constantly spilling the tomato soups everytime they brought out someone's meal. Mine dripped all of the ground as he sat it down, my wife's got on her tray so the bread was just mushy on the bottom, and we saw it constantly as he walked by delivering others. Cool idea, cool location, but the rest was just bad.

It was probably the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had. The high point of the evening, was our waitress. I wish I knew her name. She was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. She treated two old people just like we were 30. One caveat though. The steaks on stones looked and smelled delicious, but the prices might be a bit high. It depends on how much you enjoy steak, I think. If you are a steak eater, I'm pretty sure you will be happy. Maybe we can find out next trip.

My wife and I were really looking forward to trying North Shore Tavern after seeing it on TikTok,…read morebut unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. We came in after 9 PM and waited about 20 minutes without ever receiving water or having our order taken. Our server did acknowledge us at one point and mentioned that she had two other tables ahead of us, which we completely understood. However, we later noticed another table that was seated after us being helped before we were. Meanwhile, no one came back to check on us or even bring us water. We also asked the host if someone could help us, but were told she couldn't because she wasn't a server and that our server would eventually get to us. After waiting that long with no service, my wife and I decided to leave. We were genuinely excited to eat here, so it was disappointing to walk out without even getting the opportunity to try the food. I understand restaurants can get busy, especially later in the evening, but even a quick check-in, some water, or better communication would have made a big difference.

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.

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon, no crowd, no wait.. self seating. The bartender was nice and…read moreattentive and very helpful with the menu. They have so many beer options ... it's hard to pick one. Luckily you can sample a few before making a choice. They do have music but not at a super high volume so you can definitely hold a conversation with your group without yelling over music. It's located right a cross from the PNC stadium so I'm sure they get crowded on game day. Also, they have plenty of TV's for all the sports fan!

Perhaps because it was a holiday and they may have been understaffed, taking our orders and receiving our sandwiches took quite awhile. The music (I call butt rock) was an odd niche for a mixed crowd. We ordered the Pastrami and fish sandwiches, which of course come with fry's and cole slaw on the sandwich. Given the industrial size paper towel rolls on the tables, I expected the sandwich to drip sauce. The fish was surprisingly dry and the cole slaw lacked vinegar and mayo. I supplemented with hot sauce from the table. Despite being to dry, the sandwiches were decent and quite large.

Both times, there we four of us and we never had an issue being seated as walk-ins. Service was friendly and the food was above average for a sports bar and grill. On my first visit, I ordered grilled chicken wings with a cup of minestrone soup and a draft of Archer beer. I received a glass of Angry Orchard cider, catching me off guard. No big deal, the misunderstanding was quickly replaced with the right pour. The wings were perfectly smoky, crisp and juicy. The minestrone soup wasn't bad, but the arugula on top was annoyingly in the way and flapping around when I would go in for a spoonful. I enjoyed the smokiness of the wings so much that I ordered the BBQ platter on my second visit and was not disappointed. Also, the beer was cold, service was good and prices were fair.

Then when I was ready to order the bartenders were both down at the other end of the bar. Still waiting to order. Finally after getting within earshot of the bartender I asked if I could order food with him. No problem there. Then minutes later after a 1/4 of my beer finished and no food in sight the bartender wants me to close out my tab BEFORE my food shows up. That doesn't make me feel like the customer is being accommodated vs. the workers. I'm not sure I'll be back. This place like many others have lost touch of the worker/customer rolls in the retail world. What a shame where the "service " industry has ended up after Covid.

Plus, I haven't been to an actual event at the arena since it first opened & this bar is located on 5th Ave right behind PPG Paints Arena.

The bartender even offered me a free beer since she told me I was waiting too long (I actually wasn't) & the owner, Jim, gave us bar logo tee shirts when we came back after the show.
