    Stopped by to check out Lorelei's Krampus Island Holiday Pop-up. My friend and I enjoyed some of their cocktails off the popup menu including the Douglas Fir and Kramplemousse. The drinks were balanced and delicious. They offer pizzas and some other small bites at a conjoining pizza restaurant called Woodfired. Their pepperoni pizza was so good and I had lunch for the next day!

    Underberg (digestif)

    Such a good spot for drinks! My boyfriend and I had a big Italian dinner and were feeling so full and I had remembered they had this drink called an Underberg that is a digestif (it helps you digest your food and makes you feel less crappy after a big meal) so we each took one and it actually worked! Vibes are always fun - deff recommend.

    You come to this place not for the food, but the nice ambiance and somewhat affordable beer. You seat yourself and grab water/utensils. There's a two areas to sit- one more for drinks and the other with picnic style seating. There's also outdoor seating. AC is kept at 73, so it can feel a bit warm inside in summer. Food is alright, but definitely a bit pricey for what you pay. All the pizzas are thin crust, so I would recommend 3 for 4 people if you intend on actually eating a meal instead of just socializing. There's usually a DJ in the corner, but the music is pretty standard top 50. Service is friendly and fast.

    Pizza and fantastic brews and cocktails, what more could you ask for! Lorelei is one of the coziest bars in the area. Very knowledgeable and kind staff, plus their pizza is delicious! Front room serves cocktails and wine while the back "beer hall" serves... you guessed it, beer! No reservations and first come first serve seating. I've never had trouble finding a seat before though.

    Fantastic cocktails with a good beer selection with great ambience - a perfect place for a date, drinks with coworkers or when you just want good mood lighting. Pizza was delicious- love a good crust with the salty crisp pepperoni and spicy sweet hot honey

    We stopped in before heading home on a Saturday night as they had a barleywine night and we love some Bwizzle. They were out of the one we lost wanted to try but we understood that was sought out. We tried two others though that we don't typically see around here. They had several local barleywines (East End Gratitude) as well. Service was very friendly and she was happy to recommend based on our tastes. The place was pretty empty but they had just switched to being open later. The pizza sounds amazing (and looks good) but they were long sold out for the night. We definitely will return, especially for the cacio e Pepe pizza. Great little spot to stop into for something different. We stuck to the beer hall but they also have another side with wine and cocktails and even a wine shop.

    This is a super cool place but the girl who waited on me had a crappy attitude. I stopped in one day to grab a vegan pie to go on my walk back to the hotel I was staying at after enjoying a couple beers and an app down the street. I walked in and placed an order to go and bought a couple beers while waiting for my buzzer to go off. I asked the girl who waited on me if I could buy a mug but she said there were non available but I was like why don't you just sell me one of these, lol! She said she couldn't, makes zero sense, but okay. The atmosphere was nice and every seemed to be enjoying themselves. I love the fact that they have a wine bar on the other side with what looked to be some cool af mixologists at the bar as well. The pizza was probably one of the best vegan pies I have ever had, even though it was overpriced for what I got, but that is the cost of being vegan and saving as many animals as possible. I liked this place, I'll be back again to enjoy that banger of a pizza while enjoying some cold brews from my favorite mug that I couldn't buy, boo!

    Came in for drinks after dinner tonight. Really like the vibe of this place. Had a great gin drink--the Last Waltz-- that the bartender had developed. In the past haver gotten their pizza which is very good. Need to come back here more often!

    I know Pittsburgh has many pizza spots but this place really surprised me. It always looked really nice from the outside but I was not expecting the food and the drinks to be this amazing. They have one of the best thin crust pizzas around, and all of their drinks were complex and very high quality. Ordering and picking up your food might be a bit confusing but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straight forward. I will say, it took a while to get our pizza but it was very busy. I will for sure order ahead next time

    Incredibly unique atmosphere for Pittsburgh. I wasn't expecting the cafeteria-style seating but it was different in a good way. The ambiance was a 5/5. They have a cool craft cocktail menu. I had their take on the aperol spritz which was tasty. Every other cocktail on the menu looked delicious! We had the cacio e pepe pizza which was good, I'm just not the fondest of wood fired pizza; this was still great though. We were also told the wait for pizza could be as long as an hour and fifteen minutes, but it ended up coming out after about 30 minutes. The downfall of our night was the service. Our server took our food and drink order and then essentially disappeared and they never came back over to us. Someone else brought our food out and the bartender brought our drinks over. After finishing our cocktails and pizza and sitting around for a while, a nice woman that I assume was the manager (the girl with pink hair!) came over to us to see how everything was and if we needed anything. She was super sweet and got us a box and our check and then was talking with us about our night. We wanted to order a second round of drinks but after our server's long disappearance, we didn't have time. I would come back and sit at the bar- the bartenders seemed very attentive, plus I love watching people make drinks. For the price, I probably wouldn't get pizza again. I would probably give this place a 3.5 stars.

    Great pizza, great apps, great drinks!! Everything was delicious. Their ordering system confused me at first, I wasn't sure which bar I was supposed to order at, and where to pick up the pizza (order at the front bar, pick up in a back room near the kitchen). It wasn't a big deal but something I noticed. Aesthetic was super cute, we were there early, and by the time we left a DJ was setting up that evening. Love it! Highly recommend. Great experience overall.

    Are they no longer serving cocktails? Last time I went, they had removed cocktails from their menu completely

    They do serve cocktails on the wine and cocktail side of the restaurant. But just beer in the beer hall.

    If you are interested in a genuine, laid back bar experience, look no further! Le Mardi Gras is…read moretruly special. Not only did the bar tender go above and beyond to find out what kind of drink would suit me best but the drink itself was also spectacular. I still have dreams about this martini. Be prepared to only drink a few though because they are quite strong. I would not expect to drive here and be able to drive home. The atmosphere is dark and intimate with a totally rad and almost New Orleans-ish flare to it. They allow smoking which is a bad thing if you don't like smoke hanging in the air, but it does add to the authentic old-timey bar feel if you're up for it. We came here for pre-dinner cocktails before heading over to Girasole (an amazing little old world Italian place) right next door. A fantastic pairing and the perfect night out. All in all, I would go here every weekend if I lived near. Since I have to make the trip by car service, it's saved for special occasions, which may just add to its overall charm for me.

    I'm unsure why low reviewers complain about the smoke- this is a cigar bar. If you go to a cigar…read morebar, then expect smoke. It was exactly what my friends were looking for after dinner down the street. The cigars, drinks, were well-priced (although it is cash-only). The laid back vibe and tucked in booths were appreciated because we were in our own little world talking away. 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.

    've been coming to this bar ever since I moved to Pittsburgh, and I've never experienced anything…read morelike what happened last Friday (January 30th, 2026). My friend and I come here every Friday for happy hour. Over the past few weeks, we noticed that our tabs didn't seem to match what we were actually drinking, so this time I decided to ask for our receipts. That's when we saw we were both charged for shots of Espolón tequila--something neither of us ordered. I was drinking margaritas and always ask for well tequila in mixed drinks. This makes me wonder how many times we've been charged for drinks we never had. Completely unacceptable. When we brought this up, we were told to speak with the manager to correct the tab. He was extremely rude and immediately accused us of ordering the shots, even though he wasn't present. He was more focused on watching RuPaul than helping. He then claimed my card had been declined weeks earlier, which forced me to call my bank and dispute a double charge. Thanks for the extra hassle. You come here expecting a good time and leave not wanting to return. Management clearly needs to address issues with staff to prevent this from continuing. That so-called manager has no business working in customer service. I've only seen him on Fridays and Saturdays--about 5'10", skinny, wearing sweats and a gray Carhartt beanie. He's always rude, but this encounter was beyond the limit. This happened around 9-10pm in the middle bar. If you decide to come here, be careful and always ask for your receipt--otherwise, you may end up overcharged.
