The vibe of this place is immaculate, although unassuming from the outside the inside of this bar is themed perfectly, making it feel like you're in a tiki bar. We were able to walk in on a saturday evening and get a table for four which was a pleasant surprise. Our server was friendly and provided drink recommendations when asked. The drinks themselves were beautiful, fun and delicious. The tropical flavors well done. read more

Place was okay, drinks were expensive and mediocre. My waitress Celeste had a bad attitude and couldn't even get her attention when we wanted anything. Overall, just an okay experience that's not really needed read more

Hidden Harbor is still amazing. At 5p on a Saturday there was a line waiting to get in. Even after being open for 10 years, they still pull a crowd. The rotating menu of drinks keeps things interesting and the great service and fantastic food helps make an evening out of it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 drinks, the presentation, the atmosphere, top notch stuff. It was such a great experience to visit Hidden Harbor. The food is also very tasty and very good. The pricing, however, is a tad high for my liking, but not enough to affect my thoughts on the spot. Can't wait to visit again. read more

We had a little birthday celebration at the patio (did you know they had a back patio?!), The experience was top notch! The whole staff was really friendly and attentive. We felt really taken care of. The food was great, and we loved that they had vegan options. The drinks, of course, were incredible. They let us bring a cake and they cut it up for us. Honestly, it was one of the best birthday experiences I've ever had. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Awesome vibes! Great drinks! Super friendly service! Definitely will come here again!

Ambiance was great, drinks were tasty, but the service was atrocious. It was so bad that when I had to walk up to get the bill after waiting for 20 minutes. I went to our waitress asking for the bill and they said "which table are you". Then once I got the bill it has an automatic 20% gratuity... read more

Very nice spot for drinks! So creative and they do not skimp on the alcohol. Food options are also great. It is a bit pricey but a fun place to go for a drink in squirrel hill! read more

Hidden Harbor, ILY. The drinks never disappoint and the folks working there are so accommodating. It's best practice to have a resy, but every time I've gone in without one they've been able to seat me. I normally go around 5-7 PM during the week to be fair. Last time I was there I tried the Over the Reef drink. So good! Loved the tropical flavors with pineapple and passion fruit. read more

Such a fun bar! I've been here a couple type and their drinks are always so fun and SO strong. They seem expensive for cocktails but the fun decor and strong drinks are definitely worth it (I'm a bit of a lightweight but I'm pretty sure my drink had at least 2 shots) Food is decent but it's bar food, drinks and vibes are really the highlight read more

Really can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! Visited for the first time a few years ago; it's about 6 hours away from home. Not just a great place to get a tiki drink, but the food is very good as well. They have a lot of options that can be turned vegetarian but not in a lame way where you want to switch out the chicken on a burrito and the only option is to put no chicken. They do great things with tofu if you catch my drift. If you're into Christmas bars definitely recommend visiting during that time, even if it's 6 hours away. No regrets. The decor is immersive, and tiki aficionados will definitely love it. If you're not a tiki aficionado, this will convert you. read more

Love this place, can't believe I've never left a review. All of their drinks are delicious and match the listed strength levels listed on the menu. Most recently, I got the Ishmael partially for that cute little mug, and the S'more Tart (pretty dry and crumbly, but I'm not holding that against them). read more

Only downside is the drinks are filled with ice. Highly recommend requesting light ice or no ice. The flavors and drink cups are great! read more

Really nice casual bar. The atmosphere is relaxing, and a tad bit more on the intimate side. Great spot for a date night. They had a really vast array of specialty cocktails to choose from which were featured on a shark fin scale. (3 shark fins being very high on the alcohol content scale). Overall the drinks were good, but the Andiamo Lapu tasted more like tequila than rum and didn't have much sweetness to it at all, definitely tasted more like a margarita than a fruity cocktail. But when they brought it out they set it on fire! Which was super cool to see and its presentation was beautiful. If you want more of a fruity drink I recommend the paradise drink which was super light and fruity; you could tell they made it with fresh pineapple juice. All in all beside. It's a really nice spot, but if you have any visual impairments, it might be a skip for you. The lighting inside is super low, making it really hard to see. And if you're looking to take pictures, it's hard to get a good quality picture with the lights so low. However, the low lighting is part of the atmosphere and helps to create that nice relaxing vibe, so it depends what you're up for. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping in. - they have food too - just didn't get a chance to try it (note: kitchen closes at 10pm) read more

One of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh! It's such a fun tiki vibe and everything from the decor to the themed drinks is on point. Rivals some of the best tiki bars I've been to in SF. One of the drinks comes with a backscratcher that you can take home, which I think is so brilliant. There are so many good options on the menu, so it's really hard to decide what to get but I don't think you can go wrong here! Drinks are pretty good -- not too strong. It was really crowded when we went so we were only able to get seated towards the entrance area, which isn't as elaborately decorated as the parts more deep into the restaurant. Service here was excellent; the workers are very friendly, fun, and accommodating. Would highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun night out! read more

The best place to go for tiki drinks! The entrance may seem unassuming, but step inside to the cutest tiki bar, complete with the best drink presentation you'll find. They use primarily local distilleries for their products, & prices are fair! We sat at the bar and were quickly served, plus the bartender was helpful with our questions about different drinks. read more

I can't believe I had never been to Hidden Harbor before - a total hidden gem. If you've ever been to Three Dots and a Dash in CHI, this spot will remind you of it. In fact, I asked our helpful bartender, Chris, about the history of this spot and he told us that Three Dots and a Dash is the owner's favorite bar :) They have an awesome happy hour during the week - $8 daiquiris! I had the pineapple daiquiri and it was delish! My partner had the Cuba Libre but it wasn't his favorite - that's ok though! After happy hour ended, I got the Pair o' Sails and it was awesome. My partner had the Buccaneer Grog and he really enjoyed it. The menu has a "key" for potent to extra potent drinks which I thought was a nice heads up. We ordered the chicken dumplings and they were truly nothing like any dumplings I've had before. They are flash fried - crispy on the outside and the filling is so flavorful. We really liked the dipping sauce it came with too. Our bartender, Chris, was really awesome. Very attentive, answered all of our questions and told us all different artists involved with the decor, glassware, etc. The place itself is such a vibe - tiki but not tacky, plants, cool statues. It's awesome. They also have a patio but we didn't stop to check it out. Cannot wait to make this a regular spot in our rotation! read more

Highly recommend the drinks at Hidden Harbor. It's amazing how the drinks look exactly as depicted in the menu drawings. Equally aesthetic and spectacular. They were really good, unique, and strong. My favorite was the painkiller, but each one was equally beyond my expectation. The theme and decor of the restaurant is also really well done. I've passed by this place for years and never came. It's a lot bigger inside than it looks on the outside. Only downside is service was a bit slow and food was mediocre. read more

Apparently the staff needs to be retrained on identifying IDs. Was told that my ID is fake, the staff offered no explanation and very rudely kicked out my entire group. I am 25 years old and have been served here in the past with no issue. Very disappointed. This experience was especially concerning given that recent reviews mention poor treatment toward Indian patrons. My group of 7 included friends of mostly Indian and also East Asian descent besides myself, and the abrupt decision to label my valid ID as "fake" felt targeted and inconsistent. After reading other reviews of poor treatment towards Indian guests, my group couldn't help but wonder if denying my ID was simply a convenient excuse to remove our entire group without having to justify it for any nefarious reasons. If you're Indian or a person of color, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

Easily my favorite place in Pittsburgh to grab a cocktail. If the name isn't a giveaway... I'll tell ya their drinks are tiki themed. These island drinks can make you feel like you're in the beach even as you sit in the cold winters of Pittsburgh. Good luck trying not order every drink on the menu... and if you do you won't be able to do it in one seating because they have some strong ones! My two personal favorite drinks are the rum king (may be strongest in the menu) and the champions mai tai (may be one of the most expensive individual drinks). If you want a show the zombie drink comes out on Service has been solid whenever I go. Even food has been good. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! I rave about it to everyone. I went to Hidden Harbor in early July on a Saturday late afternoon/evening- by myself- with my boyfriend meeting me an hour later. I felt so comfortable sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartenders, and with other guests. Some restaurants make the bar experience less pleasant but this was not the case. I tried 2-3 cocktails and 3 food items. Everything was good! I wasn't crazy about the flatbread but loved everything else, especially the fish tacos. You really only need 2 drinks here to be tipsy, they are POTENT and strong. But it's so hard not to order more because they are so aesthetically pleasing, unique, beautiful, and tasty! I will definitely return. So happy I finally gave this spot a chance read more

At the urging of a friend, I made a reservation to Hidden Harbor and then my boyfriend and I planned a weekend getaway to be in Pittsburgh for the reservation. I asked a question to Hidden Harbor's email address before placing reservation, and they were quick to respond, which was much appreciated. The reservation process was seamless. When we arrived at Hidden Harbor, we were immediately greeted. We were a little early, but that wasn't a problem and we were seated right away. This ambiance of this place is fresh and great for a winter getaway. It is a great place to evade the snow and let your troubles melt away for the duration of your stay. We had eaten before, and were only here for the much anticipated tiki drinks. I ordered the tropical itch, which came with a back scratcher, and I also got the fer-de-lance. Both were wonderful and I highly recommend. I should have ordered a three dots and a dash to compare how they make it at this tiki bar. My boyfriend ordered the night ripper, which came flaming, and a make your own daiquiri. We had a wonderful night and the service was great. read more

I have been wanting to check this off my list for a while now. And I am so glad I finally did. Everything we ordered was so good. We ordered the coconut chicken dumplings, cornbread and Mexican street cauliflower to share. The butter that comes with the cornbread was amazing. Then I ordered the Al pastor tacos and omg! The flavor was amazing!! For drinks I got the tropicando and my friend got the windwake. Both drinks were so good. I will definitely be going back for the food and drinks. Also I just felt like I wasn't in Pittsburgh with the decor inside. read more
