Not to mention, they offer semi-strong long islands for $4 all day, It's sort of a premixed concoction that's just okay in my opinion. Nothing to rave about...but enough to lure you in for price and continue to get you in for more libation. lol Lefty's is a nice and fun hangout spot for friends for sure.and a great way to get into the mix of Pittsburgh natives (people from the surrounding area). The bar is a pretty narrow space and gets packed pretty quickly, but it is a great space to watch sports and chat with people. There is not a lot of seating space as the space is relatively small, but it is still comfortable while standing. Although crowded, the bartenders are quick and efficient with drink orders. If only they sold food, this spot would be perfect. However, there are several shops and restaurants along the strip to grab a bite to eat. In all, cool little dive bar in the heart of the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Also a great vibe and place to meet up with friends for a few drinks or a pit stop while site seeing the downtown area. Stop by, get in and fit into the vibe of this place. It's fun and good times.

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.

If you go, go early, when the old heads are there.

People are cool AF and we made sure we told them about modelo beer. Come check it out and get a shirt at least.

Some women got in my space and made me uncomfortable. I'm a gay man and wasn't interested in the attention. They became aggressive toward me for no apparent reason, so I backed away. They complained, and I ended up being the one kicked out. I even apologized to try to smooth things over. A bouncer told me I was fine and could go back in, but I was still made to leave. How does that make sense? I felt like my side wasn't heard and my discomfort didn't matter. I understand staff sometimes have to step in, but customers deserve to be heard and given a clear explanation. Being told everything was fine and then being kicked out was frustrating and embarrassing. Instead of finishing the celebration with my friends, I went home upset. The way this was handled was unacceptable, and I won't be coming back.

Service was great and the bartender did a fantastic job taking care of everyone at the bar. The chicken wings were great and cooked perfectly. The best part of the night was this phenomenal "Thai Beef" salad! It was very different than any salad I've had before, and I love that this place offers some diverse dishes on their menu. The beef was soooo delicious and genuinely cooked to perfection. If you're looking to mix it up, 100% try that salad--you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you Dive Bar & Grille for a fun night :)

We first went there when all there was was a folding sign outside by the ice cream place. We walked the tiny little alley to the back and were worried we were trespassing in someone's backyard! As we retraced our steps, the Bartender happened to be walking back and showed us the way. Nowadays there's plenty of signage and lights leading to the back. We love hideaway because it's a dive bar that's been done up nice and is clean and Jen the bartender is a sweetheart. It totally has its regulars (outside of us) that give it even more of a local Pittsburgh vibe. Though we dominate the dart board when we're there, they also have pub trivia TV thingy and non-paying slots (just for fun). They've also started having karaoke and a live DJ on some nights. Hideaway is the perfect place to get away from the pretentiousness of shadyside and just hang out.
