Like the beautiful Lorelei of folk legend, this new establishment can lure me toward the rocks any day! I'm a complete fan of 2018 Chef of the Year, Jamilka Borges. Her food is always amazing, and Lorelei's food is no exception. First, the beer list is extraordinary. I find very few places that carry Brew Gentleman, so that's a real plus for me. I can't speak for the mixed drinks, except they are hand crafted, use the best ingredients, and they look amazing. The food menu is somewhat limited, although they do change the menu somewhat frequently. My friend recommended the Lamb Pie, which I dutifully ordered, and it was delicious. The Pretzel is unique, and hard to describe, but it's a gourmet treat. The Ricotta Pie is also remarkable. For dessert, I ordered the Pumpkin Mousse, which was stellar. Overall, the food is outstanding, creative and delicious. Just a few notes, there are some details that beg for improvement. There were a number of mistakes made with my order, but I will completely forgive those slips, because this place is still new. The place can be extremely drafty in the wintertime, I'm not sure what can be done about that, except that the cold air rushes in anytime the door is opened, and there are 2 entrances, so it's a little difficult to escape. I thought it was hilarious that they offer German Chocolate Cake. So many details of the restaurant are authentically German, however German Chocolate cake is named after Sam German, and has absolutely nothing to do with Germany. Let's just assume Lorelei is being playful, and that they are celebrating all things German! read more

Lorelei is such a unique space and a great edition to Pittsburgh! The space is gorgeous. So clean and fresh looking! Crisp white walls with greenery and succulents everywhere! Lorelei would be a great choice for a bridal/ baby shower. The beer is cold and they have great happy hour specials! They are known for their pretzels, but I thought they were just okay in my opinion. The cakes and cookies looked way better ;) East Liberty is the new poppin neighborhood in town with tons of great options to eat and drink; and Lorelei fits right in! read more

The space is absolutely beautiful. High ceilings, natural decor, very historic building. Our bartender, Cat, was great. She was very helpful when it came to selecting drinks, and sweet as could be. Our drinks were amazing, they are a little pricey, but that is to be expected. They even have clear ice! Very classy. I had the best German chocolate cake that I have ever had in my life. Of course, the desserts are sitting out for all to see (how can you say no). The cake was amazing! I would come back here just for dessert.. but then again.. I want to try every drink on their menu. Highly recommend Lorelei for any occasion! read more

So this was my second visit to the Lorelei. The first time I was definitely taken a back by the minimalistic and beautiful decor. On that visit we sat in the beer hall room and ordered cocktails and split the octopus pie. The drinks were great but the pie was very disappointing; it was soggy and cold. We decided to give it a second try while strolling around east liberty. This time we sat in the first room which definitely has a more intimate feel. Our server was very helpful and kind. We tried the pretzel which was just okay. The dip was very hard to actually dip which made it kinda useless. Over all I think Lorelei is a great place for date or place to grab a drink or two with a friend. I would bypass the food and go straight to the bar. read more

From the get go, I loved the lively atmosphere and easy-going decor with white tiles and green backdrop as well as house plants. Got the Black Forest for myself which really was "Spirit-Forward" as they've advertised. The cherry went with the rum and hint of cacao. My friend's frozen drink was super good too! Tasted just like a good smoothie. We also shared the Leziz Pretzel that was served super warm with mustard and potato salad. The potato salad is to-die-for and I wish I could by it in bulk somehow. Wanna be back to try more of their food soon! read more

Finally made it back to this adorable spot for the first time since the pandemic! I love Lorelei, the decor is so great - it's a place I enjoy even more during fall/winter. Although the ceilings are high, it just feels so cozy. The front room is a cute cocktail bar & the big back room is a beer hall with communal tables. I don't love that you have to order beer & cocktails from different rooms (I think there used to be servers but I could be misremembering) it makes for strange feeling flow / not the best experience when some people are drinking cocktails and others beer. One or the other has to leave the table and go to the other room to get their drink ordered. For cocktails, it felt a bit awkward standing there waiting for your drink and then traipsing through the other room with it to get to your table, but a place can't be perfect...ya know? It's better if you sit in the cocktail side for cocktails (because it's quicker for someone to run and grab a beer from the other side than waiting for a cocktail to be made) but we prefer the vibe of sitting in the beer hall side (and the cocktail side was a bit stinky last time) so it's not the smoothest and if it was just my husband and I he'd be sitting alone quite awhile while I go get drinks. Luckily, we usually go with friends! Back and forth between rooms aside... Their cocktails are phenomenal. We had the "White Stag" & "Live Long & Pros-Pear" both delicious & perfect for autumn. We also got to enjoy some pizzas from Woodfired - a seasonal white pumpkin & a spicy pepperoni. I preferred the red pizza but both were tasty & done to perfection. read more

It took us until a pandemic quarantine to get here, but we finally did. Last night we socially distanced in the outdoor patio seating and had a really nice time at Lorelei. The beer menu is top notch, with a focus on hyper local and European/Belgian style beers. I had a funky Oude Gueze (Hanssen's) and my wife had a belgian Tripel (Van Dieu). With it, we had some sausages from the modified menu which were quite excellent. We got a variety and all were quite tasty to the point we made a reservation for the next day to try the others and grab some more beer. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the berry pocket pie I had for dessert. Fantastic. read more

We stopped in tonight to check out the spot. I entered through the beer hall entrance, not knowing there were two doors. Hubs later joined me and came in on Highland at the cocktail bar entrance. Cocktails and beer are served in the beer hall. The beer menu is posted on the board, but not much details. I wasn't sure what items were and asked if a beer menu was available as I wasn't sure what the beers were. None existed the bartender said, but she could tell me--what were my questions. I asked for pale ale options, and there are none she says and names a couple of lighter beers. Basically, the left side of menu is darker and right side lighter. Perplexed, I went off the cocktail menu and ordered a friesling: apricot, elderflower, agave, lemon, and Riesling. It came out and was had a bit of crushed ice like a slushy, perfect for 90 degree day. It was on the sweet end, but worked. Hubs arrived and I pointed him to the beer list on the menu. I mentioned the lack of menu describing it. Well, luckily for hubs, Tim, the other bartender, was a lot more service oriented. The left side of menu are international options and right side are stateside. He even explained where I was so lost with the menu. For example, BG stood for Brew Gentleman, DG stood for Dancing Gnomes, and AZW stood for Arizona Wilderness. He even offered a taste to help him decide. Well, wished I spoke with him earlier. Hubs had an Arizona Wilderness IPL and loved it. I preferred his Brew Gentleman IPA that he tasted. Both still solid. Vibe overall is fine. Soft opening had a good crowd, we were still able to find spaces. Tim rocks and is why this place gets better stars. The other bartender left much unfulfilled. read more

Wow are the cocktails here delicious and extremely well crafted! I have a high standard for cocktails and the drinks at Lorelei are well thought out and even better crafted. They offer a food menu from their neighbor, Woodfired, and it is KILLER! Specifically, the caccio e pepe pizza is seriously one of the best I've ever had. Try it for yourself! read more

Finally tried this place after wanting to for months! The pizza was really good, not the best in the city but I'd have it again. The atmosphere is probably the best part of the restaurant. You order your drinks and pizza at a counter and then take a buzzer to your table. The inside is really cute and very bright and open. A good place to come with friends! read more

After my lackluster experience with the cardboard pizza at Papa J's, I had been feeling disheartened by Pittsburgh's pizza offerings. However, I gave Lorelei's a shot and now my faith has been restored. The potato pizza was soft and flavorful, fresh out of the oven. The crust was not bitter and held up pretty well before turning soggy. The mushroom pizza was not as tasty, but it still had robust flavors from the tomato sauce and mushrooms. Overall, delicious. The mocktail, rose quartz, was a refreshing accompaniment to the pizza . Normally mocktails are too sweet without having a proper balance of club soda and syrup. This was a perfect drink--not only aesthetic, but with a strong, subtly sweet rosemary flavor. Highly recommend! The alcoholic cocktails were not as good--just strong, pure spirit lacking the advertised flavors/mixes. The carrot cake dessert was also a bit disappointing. It was like a parfait, but the bits of carrot cake were dry and not as spongey as I would've liked. The spiced whipped cream was airy and made the dessert more bearable. All in all, the restaurant has excellent young adult ambience with a beautiful interior. Pricey drinks, maybe not as good as Urban Tap's. However, the pizza is fairly decent. read more

Some friends and I came here after dinner next-door, and we really loved this adorable space! It's very southern, and looks like something out of New Orleans. I had the pink squirrel, which was essentially two drinks in one and definitely made me feel a little buzzed throughout the evening. the others had more traditional drinks, and they were also really good and beautifully served! This place can definitely get crowded, so I would make sure to come in either at an off time or with a smaller group. read more

Who would have thought this European beer/cocktail place would be a hidden gem in the Shadyside/East Liberty area. The place is very bright, open, and clean. There is a cocktail room to cater to a date night, and a beer hall for classic beer sampling. (You can take cocktail to the beer room and vice versa) The cocktails and beers both offer classic European centric flavor with a twist. I sampled a few beer options and to my surprise they were a lot lighter than traditional American beers. (Their happy hour is also great.) A big shout out to mixologist Cecil. The food menu has a wonderful European flare with a Little Puerto Rican style mixed in. Their daily made pretzels are also delicious and fresh. Besides the great owners and crew... My favorite part of this place is the feel. It's located right next to a neo-gothic church. When you're sitting in the beer hall you might think your really in Germany. read more

Lorelei is a great spot for a covid-safe dining and cocktail experience! They have well-spaced outdoor seating with heaters that do a solid job of keeping you warm. At present, they have a limited menu, but the pretzel and the sweet hand pie are both really great options to share and go well with their beers and cocktails. Side note: they have a great natural "effervescent" rose that you can buy by the bottle at their market (indoors). It's definitely one of the best wines I've had in the past couple of years and tops my list for best rose. read more

First time/ last time here. Came with a group, walked in 10 min later than others who were in the group. Sat down at a table with friends, ordered a pizza (was pretty good). Ate said pizza. Meanwhile on the clear other side of the bar some of the people in our group left, or were asked to leave (not really sure of the story here). Things got heated between other members of our group (again, clear on the other side of the bar, nothing to do with our table or order). Our waitress gets really upset at us. And with no explanation slams down our check at our table and basically says we have to leave. Again, we did nothing but order food and the other side of the table ordered drinks. We had no idea what was being said at the other side of the bar. The only thing communicated to us was that we had to leave. Mind you, even though there was an argument among staff and members of our party, we had nothing to do with whatever was going on. Plain and simple, this was an example of some of the worst service I have ever encountered. Our waitress had no right to slam down our check and kick us out because of an argument we had nothing to do with. Everyone left very upset and vowing never to come back here again. PS. Only reason I'm giving two stars is because I know that two star reviews are more likely to be read than 1 stars. But this was 100% a full blown 1- star experience. Not happy being treated that way. I know way too much about the hospitality industry to accept that sort of treatment. Screw these guys. read more

Tonight was my first time at Lorelei with a group of my friends. When I walked in, I was immediately impressed with the relaxing ambiance. We sat at a long table in the back portion of the restaurant. Two of my friends were there before me, so they had already ordered drinks and a cheese plate. Personally, I felt that the cheese plate was lacking for the hefty price of $18. The cheese plate contained candied pecans, two types of cheese, a few cured meats, and some crackers of different sorts. The variety was great, but the portions were very small. Additionally, I was very disappointed to see the small portion of sausage pretzel knots I received for $8. They were absolutely delicious, especially with the everything seasoning, but four golf ball sized knots were not enough even for an appetizer. The weirdest part was that they provided you with a ton of (delicious) beer cheese. It was enough for twice the amount of sausage knots. They did have a great drink selection, and the appetizers were definitely tasty. I loved the ambiance and felt that it was a great place for larger groups. I would definitely go back for a drink in the future. read more

What a great spot! After driving past Lorelei for years I'm so glad I finally got to try it. We'll definitely be coming back I met up with a group of friends for happy hour on a weekday. All beers were $2 off! Their beer menu has alot of German beers (in keeping with the German beer hall theme), which was fun to explore. I tried a Woodruff Berliner which was tart in a really nice, light way. They also had a nice selection of cocktails and non-alcoholic beers (bottles/cans) Their white bean dip was a great stater, and I was really pleasantly surprised by their wood-fired pizza. The Peppy Pep was loaded with pepperoni and jalapenos and just the right amount of spicy. And the crust was fantastic - light and a little crispy. I'd say the pizzas serve 1 if you are looking for a solid meal and 2 if you are getting an app and want a lighter meal. One thing that was new to me was that 20% gratuity is automatically added to every bill (not just large groups). However, our server was super attentive and friendly the entire night, so I had no issues with the gratuity being added. read more

Excellent food, a great sound set up even though I don't think have live music except for DJs and acoustic shows. Weds night they have an excellent happy hour with $3 10 oz good Kolsch beers. Cool, laid back environment, great place for small groups. I have only had food there once but it was excellent. read more

A cute, perfect little place to hang out with friends or have a date night. They do not take reservations but they do have plenty of seating so I wasn't worried about getting seats at all. * Drinks: They had an extensive list of beer options that I have not seen before and I had to ask the bartender which ones she recommended. As a sour beer lover, I ordered Lemke Berliner Weisse (Raspberry) and it was delicious and would order again. My friends got their own beers and cocktails and they all tasted good. * Cost vs. Worth: Normal price range for beers. They also have bottled beers as well that you can share with friends. Will I come here again? - Yes but I would probably hit other bars in addition to this read more

I've been coming to Lorelei pretty regularly. It's a nice relaxed bar---well, sort of, the atmosphere is a unique in-between beer hall, bar, and restaurant. I like the ambiance, though sometimes it can be too loud when it's very crowded, given the small and lightly furnished (see: lots of echo) space. Beer: The beer selection is great. I tend to prefer wheat beers, brown ales/stouts, and fruited sours. They have options from all categories, and they never disappoint. Pizza: The pizza is good. It's not amazing, and definitely doesn't reach the levels of, say, Mercurio's (if you want authentic Italian) or Iron Born (if you want more American). But, it's always satisfying, and definitely a solid option if you're looking to combine drinks and food. Plus, beer and pizza is a combination that's hard to beat! I have not had a chance to try out the cocktails or wine, so I cannot comment on those. All in all, a good option to unwind with friends after the end of a busy week. I just wish they had longer hours---even on Fridays and Saturdays, the kitchen closes at 9 pm (o earlier), and the bar closes at 10 pm, which is just too early. read more

A little busy the night we went in but service was still great. Bartender Helped me decided which drink to have which is always nice! The pizza is some of my favorite wood fired pizza I've had since moving to Pittsburgh. The Basel has been set by living in Italy and NYC. Great for a date night or even a bunch of friends. They have outdoor seating and indoor so plenty of options. read more

A beautiful, cheery, and warm space to stay a while. The dining rooms are gorgeous at night: the room is colored in a pink tint like a Wes Anderson film. I really loved the wood fired mushroom pizza, but found the pizza a bit too small to be shared between two as a full meal: most likely if you come hungry, you will want to eat the whole pizza. Service also was a bit slow: one of our pizzas took ~40 minutes to come out (albeit during a busy Friday dinner service). I would recommend Lorelei in a heartbeat as a great first-date spot or place to have a long talk. I'm looking forward to trying the cocktail menu when I get the chance to go back! read more

Came here on a Saturday night for drinks. Vibe- lively and bright. Good for a small group of people. Staff very friendly and attentive. There are two areas - smaller bar area in the front and a larger more open area with tables in the back. They close at midnight tho. Drinks - the cocktails are what sold me on this place. I had the Black Forest (coconut rye, rum) -- very spirit forward with EXCELLENT flavor. It was like a old fashioned but better. $11. They had food here as well which I didn't try but based on the drinks would be back. Overall very fun lively bar with fantastic cocktails but closes early. Would be back. read more

Great pizza from Woodfired. Great craft cocktails served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to go back!

Food, cocktails, atmosphere was all amazing. Going to try and go again before my trip to Pittsburgh is over.

Great cocktail and German beer bar in East Liberty Drinks: 4, Value: 3, Atmosphere: 4, Service: 4 We had always heard this place was a cocktail bar, but we were surprised to hear this is also a German beer bar! We love German beer and this place has a great selection of around 10-15 German beers. We had Schneider Aventinus and the Reissdorf Kolsch. The Aventinus is one of the best German beers around so we were excited to see this on the menu. The Kolsch was a nice light beer, but is was lacking a bit of carbonation. Happy hour is Wed-Fri 5-6 and Saturday 4-6 and they have $4 pils and helles, $2 off wine by the glass, and $3 off cocktails. However, they don't have any specials on any other of the German beers on the menu which is disappointing since we don't really like pilners and helles. The inside is nice and has two rooms separated by a small hallway. They do full service on both sides. The front room is the "cocktail" side with small tables and a bar. The back room has a more German biergarden vibe with long wooden tables with benches and another bar. The place was really crowded on a Saturday night with not a lot of places to sit. Overall, a nice little bar with a great German beer selection. However, wish they had more space and a better happy hour special on all their beers. read more

I've been to Lorelei twice now and both times I've had a lovely experience. The ambience is fantastic and they have a great selection of wines, craft beers, and cocktails. They have a decent selection of food as well. So far I've only tried the brick oven pizza however I stand by that it is some of the best pizza I've found in PGH if you like Neapolitan style. I would also highly recommend the Artemis cocktail. Their drink menu rotates especially their seasonal cocktails so get it while you can! She's strong but the notes of chamomile are so satisfying paired with the the lavender, gin and vodka. Can't wait to go back. Definitely my new spot. read more

This was my first time at Lorelei and I wish I had been here sooner. The location being right across the street from the beautiful East Liberty Presbyterian Church is great to stare at out the window and people watch. In fact you might catch a Instagram influencer or two walking right down the street to get the latest post for their account. If you're by yourself and need a drink I would recommend coming here and sitting at the bar to talk to Cecil to get your cocktail education. He makes cocktails an art form and they should be snapped and sent to your friends in an effort to one up them at any moment. The pretzels are delicious and I would recommend paying extra to make sure you get the bier cheese. Wish that was standard with the pretzel but the mustard and sauerkraut dip were delicious I just have an addiction to bier cheese and pretzels so I had to splurge for it. read more

This is one of my favorite new places to grab a drink. The atmosphere is great with super high ceilings and simple but thoughtful details on both the cocktail side and the beer side. Both spaces are equally enjoyable. The little food/dessert kitchen that connects the two spaces is so fun too! All the cocktails I've had have been delicious and the presentation is great too with each drink. The staff is always so friendly and nice. I do hope they change up their cocktail menu from time to time. After going a couple of times and trying all the great cocktails I was interested in, I asked the server if the bartender could make up a cocktail that wasn't on the menu so I could mix it up, and she said no (in a very nice way) and pointed me to other drinks listed. So hopefully they diversify from time to time! read more

I waited and waited to write this review to see if my opinion would change, but it has not, and I do not think it will. I am not sure if I should be proud in admitting this or embarrassed, but I have pretty much tried every cocktail Lorelei has to offer and I have never once been disappointed. The location is convenient for me, because I can walk there. If you know S.Highland, you know there are not a lot of nice bars to drink at, that are both quality but also do not break the bank. Insert Lorelei coming taking over the old building on the corner across from the church. Lorelei made that entire building so fresh and inviting. The high ceilings, lots of natural sunlight and wood, greens and showing off the beautiful stain glass windows is such a nice change from their predecessor that kept the room dark, no lights and dark curtains. You can choose to hang out at the front of the bar area where they have bar tops or high top tables to sit at or go to the back with more of an indoor beer garden feel with community tables as you would see in Germany. Either option is a good call. I can not speak to the food too much as I have only tried their small plates and bar snacks. I will say, their pretzel is incredible. They serve it with this delicious beer cheese and ground mustard and I would not expect anything less for a German inspired menu with the beer garden feel. Now, for the main event. . . the cocktails. I started with my typical drinks when I go somewhere, old fashions, something similar to a manhattan, the bourbon based drinks, etc. All of which are phenomenal. Then I went in on two Saturday afternoons, when was nice and I tried their gin/rum and more fruity based drinks and they were also great. I usually avoid them because they are too sweet but Lorelei found the perfect balance. At one point you get a hint of all their ingredients, yet they blend together nicely as they go down your throat and have a pleasant after taste, some more bold than others but usually fitting for the type of drink you ordered. Right now I've been circling back to the Pear Cobblestone which is just plain refreshing but their after-dinner cocktail with brandy was so nice that I've been getting that later in the evenings more frequently. I credit the staff for me have such a great experience. They clearly love their jobs and are happy to serve you. They are also happy to help with recommendations too if you want to try something new! Fun fact: HH happens on Saturday 1-4 where it is $2 off drafts and wines. Also, apparently this Friday they are adding some new cocktails to the menu (they rotate their menus with what's in season although they do keep the staples) so looks like I'll be back to try out something new this weekend! read more

Lorelei - I love you. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Where do I even begin? This spot is perfect for any occasion. The green and white decor give it a clean, sophisticated vibe while the menu will bring your favorite drinks with a twist. The space has two sides. One is most of a traditional bar feel with bar seating as well as high top tables. The other resembles a beer hall with long wooden tables and service at the bar. The entire space as big windows and high ceilings giving it this big open feeling. As for the menu... Try the Fresling - its the most beautiful wine snow cone you've ever seen. Or the Lentil Salad - a light summer salad full of flavor. Or the Tomato Hand Pie - sweet and savory If you aren't sure, the incredible staff will guide you. Put this on your must visit list! read more

Such an awesome addition to the East Liberty neighborhood! I checked out happy hour yesterday with some girlfriends and it did not disappoint. I loved being greeted at the door to explain the concept of the restaurant and everyone was super friendly! The ambiance inside is awesome. They aspire for an authentic german beer hall feel and it makes a very fun atmosphere! All food and drinks are ordered at either of the two bars and then delivered to the table of your choice. We tried all three items under the Breads + Spreads part of the menu and they just kept getting better! My personal favorite was the butter crackers with pimento cheese and pepper jelly. The homemade crackers are phenomenal and the dip was good on the crackers and the pretzel and breadsticks we also ordered! (protip;) The beer pretzel was one of the best I've ever had and totally instagram worthy! And the breadsticks with cheese dip were my least favorite but certainly still delicious. I had a yummy weisse beer and my friends tried an Oktoberfest special and one of the wines and everyone enjoyed! I will be back soon! read more

Stopped in for drinks during happy hour with a couple of girlfriends. We were excited the instant we walked into the space: the decor was light and airy, giving the illusion of being outside in a classic Bier garden. We settled at a communal table to look over the menus. I ordered a glass of Riesling while my peers sampled the beers. We also ordered a sampling of the different snacks. After ordering at the bar, everything arrived to our table incredibly quickly. We tried the butter crackers which came with a cheese and pepper dip. The crackers crumbled pleasingly and tasted homemade! Delicious! However, we only received 8 crackers with a large amount of dip, so the ratio was off. However, we ordered the bread sticks and the pretzel as well, both delicious, and they also came with yummy dips. So, we ended up mixing and matching the dips and by the time we were done, every spoonful had been consumed, small number of crackers be damned! At the end of happy hour, we were all quite pleased. I'll definitely be stopping back at Lorelei for a beer and a snack again in the future. read more

Lorelei is by far my favorite bar in the city! Before covid hit, I basically was here every weekend. The cocktails here are so unique and delicious! The bar is extremely beautiful inside as well. Recently, Lorelei has opened up a back patio with heaters & outdoor seating as well as the sausage cart menu. Let me tell you it's amazing! I think I've tried everything by now! The Korean hot dog is my favorite. I also ordered the German chocolate cake and was overwhelmed with how delicious it was!! The staff here is so kind and has often recommended amazing drinks or even made something off menu for me. Lorelei takes safety precautions very seriously, which is great and lends to a relaxing experience. I definitely recommend Lorelei! read more

HELLO ALL! Lorelei Pittsburgh is my new favorite place. I hit up this new joint on Wednesday evening around 6pm. The main cocktail-bar area was busy, so we ended up sitting on the beer hall side. There were plenty of tables available. The atmosphere of place is brilliant! You order at the bar, so you are greeted by Byron, the bartender. He is the sweetest - he will answer any questions you have & talk to you about the place. I ordered the Frozen Riesling to drink - it was amazing. I loved it so much. My friend & I ordered appetizers. We started with the butter crackers & Pretzel. The butter crackers are served with pimento cheese / pepper jelly. Delicious! The pretzels are served with mustard & bacon kraut cheese spread. Out of this world! This is the perfect spot for a date night or grabbing drinks with friends. I'll be back again soon! read more
