    Irukandji - named for the venomous jellyfish, with blackberry, eucalyptus, almond, and coconut soothing its mezcal sting
    Karen H.

    Two of us stopped by around 8pm and were able to get two seats at that little window to the bar in the room over. It's pretty dark inside. The bartenders were super nice and very attentive. We loved our drinks! My milk punch was my favorite drink I've ever had there. I love that they automatically do 20% gratuity.

    This was such a fun spot! I go to a lot of tiki bars and this is definitely one of the better ones. The space is actually quite large and the decorations are great. It has such great theming. The big shark on the menu was fun and the shark fins on the menu dictate how strong a drink is on the menu. As someone who does not like strong drinks, this was so helpful. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. This place is pricy and they do add a 20% tip automatically to the bill. I ordered the 'Sandstorm' and my husband got the 'Skull and Bones'. They were both strong but my drink, with 1 shark bin, was very doable and I was able to finish it. Unfortunately, we completely missed the first page of the menu somehow, which is unfortunate, because I actually preferred the drinks on that page. Oh well, our loss. My husband also tried this seasonal apple dumpling dessert which he loved while I had the cucumber salad which definitely had a kick! It was yummy though. I would recommend for people to check out who are in the area.

    Hidden Harbor is a restaurant and bar that offers tropical-inspired foods and drinks. Examples from the food menu are huli-huli chicken wings, pork egg rolls, chicken yakitori, tacos, and street noodles. Some vegetarian and vegan options are available. Examples from the drink menu are tropical cocktails, shared drinks for multiple people, daiquiris, mojito, beers, wines, and over 670 rums! Through their website, I made a reservation for dinner for my husband and me. When we arrived, employees immediately and kindly greeted us and seated us at a wobbly table in a dimly lit room. Our server provided courteous service throughout our meal. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Tropical Itch - 2.5 stars - The server recommended a different drink to me, and I unfortunately chose this one instead. This drink contained bourbon, passion fruit, and orange. A plastic backscratcher (yes, really) was also included. I did not like the flavors of this drink so sipped it only slightly. Crab rangoons - 4 stars - Several rangoons had crispy seasoned wonton wrappers, contained lump crab and cream cheese, and were served with sweet-sour sauce. Island Salad - 4.5 stars - This large salad included lettuces, mango, cucumber, carrot, avocado, red onions, jalapeno, queso fresco, wonton, cashew, and ponzu vinaigrette. I liked the fresh flavors of all ingredients except for the spicy jalapeño. Smash Burger - 4 stars - My husband ate this entree. He thought that it was just OK and made a face. I took one bite and thought that it was "good." The burger consisted of a beef patty, onion, pickle, American cheese, and special sauce. On the side were crispy fries. Please note that the business's website says, "For the benefit of our staff, a 20% gratuity is automatically applied to all checks." Including sales tax and this tip, our four menu items cost us a total of $84.

    Had a great time here! While Squirrel Hill doesn't have many bars, this is such a fun bar. The bartenders were friendly and helpful. The ambiance was really cool. The drinks were also well worth the money, in terms of presentation and taste. I also enjoyed the food options, specifically because there was a variety of vegetarian/vegan options. I'd love to come back and try other cocktails!

    Fun tiki bar with great cocktails! It's spacious inside, we booked a reservation in advance online but there were a bunch of available tables throughout the night while we were there. Fun ambiance and decor inside, good for a casual night out with friends or for a casual date. We tried a bunch of different cocktails. Started with the Sign of the Four which comes in a conch shell. It was okay, I didn't love it. My boyfriend got the Katoa Cove which I liked more. Next we got the Ishmael and the Painkiller. Both were good but the Painkiller was definitely my favorite cocktail out of all of them - so good! All of the cocktails were all super fun in their presentation and easy to sip on.

    Still one of the best escapes in Pittsburgh. The theming is top notch the island cocktails are well mixed and the food is amazing. It's like being whisked away to an island tiki bar or Trader Sam's for the Disneyphiles out there. The staff are great and willing to help find just what you need to escape the cold and dreary evenings.

    We had the pleasure of stopping by Hidden Harbor in Pittsburgh for some tiki drinks, and it did not disappoint. This spot is amazing -- the drinks are solid, the décor is on point, and the bar has such a welcoming vibe. They also serve food, though we only went for the tiki cocktails this time around. If you're ever in the Steel City, this is definitely a must-visit.

    Tequila piña colada

    Great tiki drinks and food to accompany. I really liked the chicken sandwich and got a spin on a piña colada but with tequila. Super friendly experience in a fun, tiki-inspired environment.

    Alaina E.

    This place is such a fun time! So cutely decorated. It was a little loud so we had a bit of difficultly hearing our friends across the table. The staff were so friendly and helpful with questions. You're going to spend more than $50 here, but the drinks are works of art.

    What a cute spot! They have a great selection of tiki drinks as well was some more basic drinks like mojitos and daiquiris. I didn't know what to expect from the food but it was delicious. I loved the French fries (sooo crispy) and chicken sandwich, and my boyfriend said the smash burger was good too. Ally took great care of us!

    So glad we could visit for a birthday! Turns out they give you a free birthday drink which was an awesome surprise. We ordered way too many spindrifts, shell shockers, I got a mojito, and a bday drink! This was my first time sitting on the patio and it doesn't have the same tiki ambiance outside as it does inside but we still had a lovely time out there. Our server, Will, was very kind and loved giving us suggestions which were super helpful. Still highly recommend!

    This place is always a great spot if you're looking for a nice cocktail bar. The drinks never disappoint and I love that they do change their menu and have fun with their specials. I love all the cups here and I had no idea they had a cute outdoor patio in the back. Definitely super nice since it's quieter and brighter outside. Staff was so nice and fun! Love all the designs here too from the menu to the coasters. What a gem!!

    I LOVE Hidden Harbor! I hadn't been in years but I will absolutely not wait that long to go back again. I had three drinks and all were delicious and the presentation truly is unmatched. It's always so fun to have tropical drinks in a tropical environment. I'm from Florida and this place always feels a little closer to home. The service was amazing! We had a large group but they were so nice to check on us frequently and even split checks at the end. I will be back again as soon as possible!

I would recommend getting a reservation for the weekend. The restaurant is located at the bottom of the Maverick and the decor is absolute gorgeous. By the end, I was convinced that their wallpaper would look great in my living room. Our waiter was very lovely and attentive. There was one small issues with our appetizers which resulted in them being delayed. He took full responsibility and made it right. I really liked my pear centric cocktail, it had a very appealing purple shade. My salmon was very good with nice bright flavors. It was a little spicier than expected but not too hot either. The coconut rice was good to help with that. The Korean fried tofu was perfectly crunchy and slightly spicy (this time it was expected). Good flavors to it. The babaganoush was excellent with all the extra little toppings on top. The seeded crackers were excellent and I wished I had ask if they made them there. My friend had the crispy eggplant and bread service (no gluten for me sadly). She said everything was good as well. We shared the Japanese cheesecake. It was absolutely delightful. The texture is so light and creamy! The banana pieces with the creme brulee crust were so good. Excellent caramel sauce. Overall, trendy space with good food and drinks!

I stayed on my no drinking and tried a mocktail espresso martini with the girls and it still felt like the full experience, but I already know I'm coming back for the cocktails. It's small, kind of tucked away, and has this really easy energy to it. The kind of place where you're just in the moment-sharing everything, ordering "just one more thing," and realizing the whole night went by without anyone checking the time.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours.

They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts.

In addition to indoor seating on the first and second floor, they also have a fenced in patio outside for sitting. As we sat outside, we saw groups of people who could not figure out how to get into the speakeasy. Another thing that happened was that they closed early the night that I went because of the lack of customers. A group was trying to come in as we were leaving but we told them they were closing for the night. So be aware of that, if you're planning to go late night (past 11 pm). However, the drinks were amazing as always! They now added a couple of small bites so we tried the cucumbers. They were delicious and packed with flavor! Our drinks were great as always. They have even more options than the last time I was there which was nice! I still really enjoy this little space!

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.
