The whole space-themed concept makes it feel like an experience, not just a night out. The vibes are fun, a little quirky, and perfect if you want something outside the usual bar scene. The drinks are delicious, creative, and honestly just as cool to look at as they are to drink. Definitely one of those places I'd go back to again. If you're in Pittsburgh and want something memorable, this is it.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

We came to Pittsburgh while they were hosting the D2 March Madness in 2026, and thanks to my…read morenephew's team bringing us out here, we were able to uncover this gem of a cigar lounge. I've been to quite a few cigar lounges--and even worked at one--so I have a good sense of what makes a place stand out. Burn by Rocky Patel did just that on every level. The ambiance, décor, cigar selection, and service were all top-tier. It's a classy lounge with a twist of sports bar energy, which made it both elevated and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day, and they had live entertainment--a violinist playing along to hip hop and R&B--which created such a unique vibe. Kayla, the bartender, let us know about the live entertainment the day before, it wasn't posted on their social media or website. She was attentive, sweet, and made excellent drinks. Evan, who was working the cigar side, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and communicated well with customers even during a heavy flow. One thing that really stood out was the crowd--mixed ages, mature, and plenty of ladies confidently partaking in the beautiful art of cigars, which I loved seeing. Even if you don't smoke cigars, the vibes in this place are worth the visit. If and when I return to Pittsburgh, this place is a must. It's also within walking distance to the stadiums, which is a huge plus. Feedback for management: The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the disconnect between locations and social media postings. There was an event listed on the website that wasn't actually happening at this location, while an amazing event that was happening wasn't shared online; which would have been a shame to miss. It may be worth considering in-house social media and website management to ensure updates are accurate and timely to the specific location.

I really loved the chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon, old r&b jams and overall friendliness of everyone. Good drinks and nachos too! We stopped after brunch to hang out and it appeared to be the perfect time as it was nearly empty when we first came in then filled in after. My main negative is the smell gets stuck in my hair so that will be a deterrent for me coming back unfortunately, but I will at some point for the atmosphere.

Food took forever, almost as long as getting drinks. We tried to cancel a few times, but couldn't get anyone's attention other than some guys who just glared at us from across the bar the whole time. When the food came, it wasn't worth the wait. And then we had another 20 minutes trying to pay so we could just get out of this place. We were not from there, and we were definitely given the message that we didn't belong. Read it loud and clear! Don't worry, your place isn't worth the horrible service and just ok food. I also like my bars to be on the friendly side, not the banjo music as you go down the river side.

Tried this place for the Lenten special fried fish. I hadn't been there in a long time, so I…read morefigured I would check it out. I was hopeful the food would be good but it was far from that. I ordered the fish sandwich and my mother ordered the fish platter. I asked to get haluski as my side and the waitress told me "we don't have any yet". I was confused because their Facebook post for the day stated the available sides were fries, mac and cheese or haluski. I just got fries. The food was fresh and hot, but tasteless. The tartar sauce was just mayo mixed with relish (very gross imo), the coleslaw my mother got was very sweet (not good at all) and had a heavy mayo taste as well. The fries needed salt. The fish sandwich was small, compared to two other restaurants in the area, which was around the same price. Halfway through our meal, the couple next to us were offered the other sides of mac or haluski. My mother asked why were told there was no other side available. We spoke to a different waitress who told us that it's only as a special after 4, but it was only 3:30. We ordered our meals at approx 3. She said it can be offered early and we can get it as an additional side. I declined because it wasn't initially offered by our main waitress. I was bothered by that to be honest. Other tables were offered it, but we were not. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this place. It was overpriced and has small portions. I know they have been open a long time and have a lot of customers, but I won't be a customer again.

I most recently visited Tillie's on a Sunday evening in July to celebrate my sister's birthday…read more This restaurant has been a long-time favorite for my family, and I have always enjoyed visiting here. Tillie's is located on 36th Street in McKeesport, just a few minute drive from the high school. It is also rather close to the Boston neighborhood. The building has adequate signage and is easy to locate. There is an entrance off of 36th Street as well as off of Kountz, and both are usually open. There is some street parking surrounding the building, along with a private lot to the left of the main entrance. I have never had an issue finding somewhere to park when dining in. We arrived to the restaurant around 5:30 PM on a Sunday, and it was not too crowded. I dined in with a group of 5, and we were seated immediately. I have been here on Saturday nights where there is a wait, so just be mindful that there could be a wait during peak business hours. In addition to the normal menu offered, there were some specials also available. We did not order any of these this trip, but there is the potential for some rotating dishes if you come to dine here! To start off, we ordered a few appetizers for our table. We got an order of the Fried Provolone Cheese, as well as the Fried Calamari. The Provolone is in wedges, and served with their marinara sauce - they were crispy and melty just as you want them to be. The Calamari are served with the marinara, along with a special dipping sauce. Both were good and complimented the Calamari well! Additionally, thick-sliced bread is provided for the table before the main courses come. They will refill it if you ask, and it is always delicious. For my main course, I ordered the Parmioli, which is a Tillie's special dish. It is Chicken Parmigiana topped with a giant cheese ravioli and baked together. It is a favorite of my family, so I have enjoyed it many times before. This time was no different, and the dish came out delicious! It was definitely enough for me to have some to take home. The entree came with the choice of a soup or salad, and I had a Small House Salad with a side of ranch. It came out as a nice appetizer before the meal, and was fresh and colorful. Other members of my family ordered different entrees. All were enjoyed by the person who ordered them, and included in my review are some pictures of these dishes: Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna, and Chicken Parmigiana (no mushrooms). There was also a Small Caesar Salad, and a Cup of Wedding Soup ordered that were included with the entrees. Beyond what we ordered on this visit, I would recommend trying the pizza to split with a group. It is especially great if eaten fresh while dining in. If you are undecided or want a lot of food, the Specialty Trio Combination Dinner is a great way to try multiple dishes. Our meal was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed their food, it was all hot and fresh, and was prepared well. The service was excellent, and we had a great experience with our waitress. We have really never had a bad experience here before, and will continue to keep coming back. The prices here are very fair. All meals come with the table bread, a soup or salad, and then the main entree. Most are around $20, but for what you receive it is worth it. A lot of items are made in-house, and the sauce is unique and tasty. I would recommend this place on value alone. I always love coming to Tillie's, and this visit was no different. The food is classic and as close to true Italian as it gets. The charm, atmosphere, and staff all keep me returning time after time. Tillie's has that old-time Italian restaurant charm that reminds you of a different time, but in the best way. Do not miss your chance to try this classic gem if you are thinking about going!

Tillie's is a wonderful neighbor gem for Italian food! They offer a broad assortment of offerings:…read moresoups, salads, pizza, house made pasta, chicken, veal, and fish entrees. Portions at dinner are large, and to-go boxes are usually needed. One meal to check out is the trio of favorites where you pick three from a list of six. Your plate will overflow with food! Most entrees come with soup (wedding or minestrone or house salad. For a small up charge you can get caesar salad or crab soup. All are very good. Plus, they drop a basket of large slices of Italian bread with butter on your table. The atmosphere is vibrant with friends and families sharing stories and enjoying their time together over good food. They have a full bar, so you can order alcoholic beverages as well as soda, coffee and tea. They have a dessert menu. But, I've been to Tiilie's three times, and there's just no room for dessert after a large delicious meal. Tillie's has been really busy every time I've dined there, which has been Saturday nights, with customers waiting for seats. I highly recommend reservations. Because the restaurant was so full during my visits, service can be a little slow. Soups and salads usually come out quickly, but it takes time to receive the entrees. Again, the place has been packed when I've been there, so it might just be a capacity issue. Parking is available on the street and in a lot next to the restaurant.

First of all you just feel welcome when you walk in the door. There is lots of bar sitting, along with some booths and even a couch. We usually grab some seats at the bar. There are frequently events going on and a wide range as well. Some events are ticketed, sometimes there is a cover and sometimes no charge. The artwork is great and all the fun photographs and sayings. Every time I'm there I spot something new. There is even a gumball machine with poetry in it. How cool. Most often we have gone for live music. This time we were in the area and just wanted to grab a drink. They did have a DJ though which was fun. It was also a great choice because they stay open late when so many local places close early. They do have a limited food menu but I have never eaten there. They have a variety of drinks ranging from non alcoholic to beer or wine, even cider. The cocktail menu is where it's at though. There are so many choices and some unique combinations. It's been fun trying so many. I think my favorite drink on the menu is Galeophobia which comes in a fun shark glass. It's fruity without being too sweet and the macadamia liquor adds just the right amount of nuttiness in the background. I seriously could drink several of them. The Spork House Punch is another favorite. Immediately *pinkies up* with the fancy little crystal mug. The pear and lemon gives such great flavor and it's well balanced and an easy drinker. It also feels like a good value with the amount you get. This time my fiancé tried Elvis' death and loved the toilet mug. He said it was tasty but a bit expensive for what it was so he probably wouldn't order it again. Fun bartenders, great drinks, good atmosphere, enjoyable entertainment.. what's not to love?
