They turned the volume of the music lower and even adjusted the heat as it was just the two of us back there the waitress was still very attentive and helpful although she could have easily forgot about us. I was sold on the chai apple martini, even though I was hesitant because it felt more like a Christmas drink and it was February, but it was delicious and I got another one. I ordered the pork chop medium well the sauce was delicious. However, the pork chop was dry. I still ate the whole thing because the sauce and everything accompanying it was amazing. My friend ordered the pesto pasta, which I tried. I really enjoyed it too, especially the Barrata. his steak was also ordered medium well and was drier than my pork chop. I couldn't eat it, but luckily it was not my meal. He did didn't seem to mind too much. The vibes were high all night, even though we were in the back partly because of the waitress, but mostly because of what seemed to be almost a Rihanna only playlist lol

We were staying Shadyside, and therefore looking for something nearby. Urban Tap received really good reviews, so we made a reservation, a few weeks ahead. We arrived just ahead of the scheduled time, and we were seated right away. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by our server, Brooke. We proceeded to place our drink orders, a combination of cocktails and cocktails. I ordered the Peach Hugo Spritz, which was very tasty. We also ordered the breakfast egg rolls, as an appetizer for the table, along with our entrees orders. BLT, chicken and waffles, crab cake Benedict, and I ordered the Cajan avocado Benedict. Also the menu was very kid-friendly. We ordered a side of waffles and fruit for my 4 year old granddaughter. The egg rolls arrived in a timely manner. Options include with or without bacon. We ordered without bacon, and requested turkey bacon on the side (I don't eat pork or beef, so its nice when there is an alternative option). The egg rolls were expertly prepared, coated in everything bagel seasoning, filled with just the right amount of eggs, peppers and onions, accompanied by a Sriracha maple syrup dipping sauce. 3 to an order, we cut each roll into 3 pieces, which was perfect to share. Our entrees arrived a short time later, huge portions, expertly prepared and great presentation. My Cajun Shrimp Benedict was delicious. Plump shrimp, Cajun hollandaise, smashed avocado, sliced tomato, microgreens, and a perfectly poached egg, on top of a fluffy English muffin, accompanied my redskins potato wedges. There were a lots of elements, but the flavors married perfectly. The sentiment around the table was unanimous. All around, and excellent choice, but best of all service, was outstanding! Shout out to Brooke for the warm welcome, and excellent service. Highly recommend, I would absolutely return!

The parking situation isn't amazing and while some people tried to park on narrow Julius Street, I recommend just parking on Hamilton Ave and walking over. The taproom inside is pretty big and so is their outdoor area. You can order a flight of 3 or 6 beers and I chose 6. There is also a small food menu with a couple of pizzas and a handful of other snacks. We got the pizza of the week, the Seattle Dog, and it was pretty good!

My friend and I love getting the pizza. We all had the pepperoni pizza which has tons of cheese that is oooeeyy gooooeeeyyy goodness. The pepperoni was very tasty without being too greasy. The beers are always good no matter what you get. I liked my cherry cider but wished it had been sweeter. Our friends love the variety of IPAs. Definitely come check them out. They even have trivia and it's tons of fun to play here.

My first time going to a "Belgian Restaurant" Food was…read moregood! We tried the mussels, the cheese board with accompaniments, the croque monsieur, and the carbonnade flamande. The food was good but not "great". The sandwich was lacking ham, there was barely any on on it and the ham was overcooked. Mussels that my fiancé raved about and called best in the city were just good. Again--not exceptional. He even said they're usually better (he's dined here before, I haven't) The Carbonnnade flamanade was great! Their fries were also fantastic. Our cheese board was also good (aside from me not liking blue cheese and it having blue cheese on it) Overall, I really liked it but it's not my favorite in the city or anything like that. Good not great. Our service was really good and the server was attentive, that alone meant a lot to me. The ambiance is also nice and we enjoyed sitting outside

This is your typical Pittsburgh neighborhood bar. From the exterior, it definitely looks like it…read morewas once a home and when you walk inside, you definitely get the same type of feeling. Now it's important to know that this is a smoking bar. While there is ventilation and it's quite good if I say so myself, when you have multiple people smoking cigarettes as well as cigars, you're bound to smell like smoke when you walk out. With that being said it is tiny. There are a few booth areas and a few tables but most of the seating is primarily at the bar. They Have multiple different beers and ciders on tap. I was very very happy to see that they had bold rock cider available. They also have a full bar so you can craft whatever cocktail you may want. Prices are super reasonable as well

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.

Hound Haus - East Liberty's New All-Day Hangout for You and Your Pup…read moreJust opened in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood, Hound Haus is a creative new venue that combines a coffee shop, bar, event space, and off-leash dog park--all under one roof. Whether you're looking to get work done with a coffee, wind down with a beer, or let your pup burn off some energy, this is the spot. I stopped in and tried their maple vanilla latte, which was super cozy and comforting--perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I also had a warm muffin that was absolutely delightful. The drinks are crafted with Commonplace Coffee, and there's a rotating selection of prepackaged sandwiches, salads, and baked goods through Catapult Culinary available all day. The space itself is bright, modern, and immaculately clean. You can sit inside or out on the dog-friendly patio, where pups can roam while you relax. Dogs do need to be registered at the front check-in station and must be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and at least 4 months old. Hound Haus offers daily, monthly, and annual passes--but you don't need to bring a dog to enjoy the vibe. It's a welcoming place for anyone to sip, snack, and socialize (furry friends optional). The owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about creating a space that's both functional and fun. Whether you're a dog owner or just a dog lover, Hound Haus is worth a visit. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
