I'm not the biggest beer person, but I could see myself becoming a Back Alley Brewing regular -…read moreespecially as the weather improves and the outdoor seating opens back up. They're located in Dormont, which makes this a walkable brewery for me (thanks to having friends and family in the area!). A friend and I did indeed walk over to catch up on a recent Friday. The place was surprisingly quiet - my friend mentioned that they get VERY busy during the summer, when people attend events across the road and want to buy beer to go with their market and/or food truck purchases. Speaking of food trucks, Hibachi Lou was parked out front on this particular Friday. So my friend and I got our hibachi orders at the truck out front; ordered our beer and/or cider from the bar; and took everything to a table in Back Alley's dining area to enjoy. While the place wasn't packed it wasn't empty, either; families and groups of friends were playing board games at every other table or so. So, what did I think about the drinks? I'm really glad Back Alley had Arsenal Cider on tap - I ordered a glass as my "sweet treat"/dessert after dinner. First though, I decided to try a beer. Back Alley, if you see this: I'm a BIG fan of sour beers and would order those if they're on the menu in the future! As of now though, no sour beers, so I ordered a "Snowed In" - Back Alley's spiced winter ale. It was a dark beer with a blend of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, hence the "spiced" moniker. While not something I normally seek out, I really enjoyed it and am glad I tried it! Altogether, it was a 10/10 experience - I'm so glad my friend and I came here for our Friday together. I'll be back!

We stopped in on a Thursday night, and were pleasantly surprised to find live jazz (3rd Thursday of the month). We had a flight of ciders with several 4 oz refills and a couple of sandwiches and some hot pretzels. The sandwiches were solid and all come with a bag of chips. Cider 5/5, food 4/5. Service was attentive despite a really full house. If you're going to sit there and drink for a while, full pours make more sense (price) than the little pours we had, but if you want to sample lots of ciders, the little pours are nice. (The Picket Bone Dry is my favorite.)

Ordered from Doordash twice this week!…read more Food is actually really good & a great value. Prepared according to the Doordash time, and always packaged well for transport. (and the bag is sealed with a double knot so your driver doesn't help themselves to your food lol) The Steak hoagie (with a mountain of fries) was delicious! All American burger was very good, cooked well, with fresh vegetable toppings. The special sauce was a good pairing. Also comes with a mountain of fries. Their fries were really good on both occasions - they are primantis/boardwalk-style fries, nicely cooked with added seasoning and salt - they are very good. The wings I got the the first time were just okay. The sauce was good, but the wings tasted oily and pretty soggy. Both times I got the same "house salad" from the menu - the quality is good but the consistency is not there. The first time, it came in a small square takeout box (like a slice of cake would be in), but the second time I got a large plastic container with an entree portion of salad (see photo). They need to make a few tweaks for delivery consistency, but overall, I would definitely recommend the Ugly Dog, at least for takeout/delivery!

The small wings were completely overcooked and the skin was very hard, it almost shattered. I eat many wings at many places and these were not very good. Maybe people don't complain because they are 69¢ each. I would rather pay a little more and have something enjoyable. It wouldn't take much effort to cook them properly, most other places do. The night I was there, service was terrible. One bartender taking food and drink orders, putting it in the computer, picking up food, washing glasses, delivering food. On top of this my order was incorrect., twice! I was hoping my small neighborhood place would be a frequent place to visit, but it failed twice in a row.

The Hype is not deserved here…read more Let's begin with parking: one poor valet trying to keep up. Turned away as no more space. The area is a traffic disaster. Rooftop bar? Most seating and is interior and without view. You can peer over the sides or stand outside, no reservations, and packed. Drinks are average. Not high end cocktails, rather, locally distilled brew with too much mixer. Food is bar food. Meh at best. Service appears to want to be anywhere else but here. Inattentive and slow. It's screaming loud, the crowd appears to have migrated from Donzis (iykyk). If you have been to other urban roof top bars and are hoping this is Pittsburgh's equivalent, sadly, it misses the mark.

They do not take reservations and we joked about there being a line. Well, when we showed up 10 minutes before opening, there was indeed a line. However, we went on Valentine's Day to one of the only GF places in the city, so that was to be expected. They were able to accommodate our party of seven no problem, and the staff were so friendly. Our server was amazing. One of our party members is hard to please, but our waiter was on top of it! We ordered a variety of apps for the table - wings, brussel sprouts, and fried provolone. All tasted fantastic. My husband and I agreed we would come just for the wings alone. Perfect smokey flavor. We got the hot buffalo garlic and they weren't super spicy. The marinara with the fried provolone was creamy and delicious. The Brussels were your standard side that every place has with the balsamic glaze. Not mushy at all and the garlic aioli was the best touch. We saw the food coming out and had to make room... the portions are huge! I could only finish half my burger and took the rest home. It was juicy, full of flavor, and easy to handle. Sometimes when you get a massive burger it ends up so sloppy and the toppings just slide off. Not with this! Perfectly stacked and ready to be devoured. The fries were a little greasy but still crispy. They earned my crisp seal of approval! The drinks were strong and everybody loved them. I got the blushing lady and it was sweet but not overly sweet and I could actually taste the spirits. Fantastic bar food options for people who are GF. We visited for the first time because someone in our group was GF and we would definitely go back!

They always seem to have great prizes and giveaways! Albert's weekday happy hour (5-7) has discounted cocktail & beer prices. Friday happy hour with bartender Kristen is fantastic. She is energetic, funny, and will always make you feel welcome!! One of my personal reasons for coming here is that it has the best ladies room in Dormont.
