Cute spot in Brookline! Love the decor, the staff was friendly, and the mozzarella sticks were really good!
Such a fun atmosphere (they do great holiday decor). I really enjoy their mozzarella sticks and the burger is good too. Service is fast and friendly. Definitely a good neighborhood bar.
OMG the SMASH BURGERS. Look no further. They are definitely legit. It's not fair to the rest of Pgh that the two best smash burgers IMO are like 5 mins apart from each other. The other place has a better burger but this place has better sauces but neither are really too much better than the other. I also got a specialty drink that i sadly didn't not the name of but it was just an excellent alcoholic sweet tea that I referred to as a "spicy turners". The wife's mule was proper, and the staff were great. This place went all out decorating for Halloween even putting a red carpet style sash over name; dubbbing Red's "Bad" News. The pricing of everything was great too. It wasn't cheap which nothing good ever is anymore, but it was definitely a perfect bang for your buck situation. 10 outa 10 would smash that patty again.
Discovered this establishment through Yelp! I scrolled through some reviews/pics immediately decided this is where we had to check out. Located in Brookline,just out the city of Pittsburgh. As we approached noticed the outside seating, open roll up garage door style and a crowd, all good signs. The decor is handmade pop culture artwork. We were told you place your orders at the bar so we decided on the smash burgers & fries. A condiment bar is located between the bar & kitchen full of homemade sauces. Get the white Lightning sauce,amazing! Glad we decided to check this place out! Highly recommended!!!!
We had a great time at Red's. Not only do they have great food but a killer tap list of both local beers and more. The staff is extremely friendly. There is outdoor seating which make it a great place to hang in the summer. They also have a secret peep hole out front that you MUST check out. Trust me
I've been to Red's a few times - once before the pandemic (which is when I took my review's pictures) and twice after being vaccinated earlier this year. Fortunately the insanity that was 2020 didn't take this new(er) business down. I think they even took the time to do some general construction and remodeling in the building last year, because the place looks great! While eating anywhere other than my own home feels pretty weird right now, Red's has been a great place to take that first step and "get back out" into the world a little bit. My general impressions of this place haven't changed since I first visited last year. This is a great and cozy little bar - the beer and drink options are solid (and include local beers and local liquors), the "tiny but mighty" menu is very tasty, and the staff are attentive and kind. It makes for a great experience all around. In addition to their indoor seating, they've currently set up three large picnic tables on the sidewalk for diners; they also now have a large window seating area. I've chosen to sit in these two spots with friends during my visits since the indoor area has been packed during my visits. While that's good news for Red's, I'm just not ready to be in close proximity to strangers again! Final thoughts: I highly recommend Red's if you're looking for a local spot to grab a bite to eat or enjoy a drink. The menu isn't the largest one out there, but what they do serve - a burger, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and other bar staples - is very good. Plus, the beer and cider options are pretty good, and everything is served up by a great team that will bring things to you quickly and check on you throughout your visit. 10/10, will be back again!
Moonlit is in my neighborhood so we most often land there for smashburgers. But we've been meaning to try Red's Good News for a while and I wish we hadn't waited so long. Burgers were smashy, tasty, and not at all greasy. Bonus: happy hour prices were great ($6 burgers on weekdays). The atmosphere of this place is great; little neighborhood place, charming inside, friendly staff, and you can play a board game, watch a game on tv, drop by for dinner, or just hang with friends. There were solo patrons in there reading a book, on a laptop, and just having a drink. It was comfy like that. Burgers are neck and neck with Moonlit, which is a good thing (less greasy actually) but Moonlit fries probably edge out Red's for me. Food menu is small, which I like--what they do, they do well. This place is great--burgers A+, fries B, my Fizzy Arnold A, and prices A+. Can't wait go back. Solid 4.5 stars and I'm rounding up!
Red's Good News is by far a local gem in Brookline. I've gone countless times and every time is just as good as the time before. They have some creative cocktails that rotate seasonally as well as a great beer selection that are all priced very well! However what keeps me coming back is bar food and atmosphere. Their menu might be limited, however what they have on it is amazing! Their burgers are phenomenal, their fried zucchini is perfect, and the seasoned fries are always crispy. They also have a sauce bar with homemade bbq sauce, ranch, and more to just add to the meal!
The food and drinks are definitely make me coming back. Depends on the day, the menu is great all around. Drinks from well to local brews are always nice. This location is most attractive, definitely something else in October which was very beautifully themed as "Red's Bad News" with a bannered over the front of the establishment. It is currently festive and bright, I just wanted everyone to enjoy what it looks like at closing time. I wasn't able to see the floor when I walked in but it was a very merry time. Thanks for keeping me coming back!
A nice neighborhood spot for good drinks, good food, and great company. This casual bar has indoor and outdoor seating that you seat yourself when you arrive. To get a menu or service you need to go to the bar, but the bartenders are good at getting to you quickly. Both the beer and food menus are limited, but they still cover a wide range of flavors and preferences. I ordered the pink lemonade cider and cheeseburger, which were delicious. The drink was refreshing on a hot summer day, with a balanced flavor of sweet and slight sour tang. The cheeseburger came with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and bbq sauce on top. It was a smash burger, which I love, and packed with flavor. They have a self-serve sauce station in the back with buffalo sauce, bbq, ketchup, ranch, mustard, mayo, and lightning sauce to add to your burger or dip your fries in. I highly recommend ordering the seasoned fries, they're perfectly sized for sharing and come out freshly crisp. Looking forward to coming back with friends, as the atmosphere is great for relaxing and everyone is in a good mood!
What an amazing price and quality. For fried zucchini at a dice bar you might think it would be bad. Howrver- it was some of the best I've ever had! Also their homemade sauces? To die for!

I love coming to Red's. This place is such a hidden gem in Pittsburgh. I used to be able to walk here but now that I live on the other side of the city it's always a treat when I can make it over here. The owners really take such good care of this place. They always decorate for holidays and the seasons. The staff is always friendly. Even when they are packed it doesn't feel like you wait long for anything. The food is simple but amazing. The chicken tender sandwich and burger are musts for us. I love the cheese bullets and not pictured here but worth mentioning are their fries! Seriously McDonald's x10 so so good! Stop by here to watch a game or just a random Wednesday, you won't regret it! read more
I have zero complaints about this hidden gem. Cheap, great food, a wonderful view on a beautiful day, great service. They had a sauce bar with many homemade sauces for all of our dishes. This place will be added to the rotation, read more

Always a great time with top notch simplistic eats. A good place for friends to gather and surprisingly great for kiddos too! The food is so simple yet always delicious. A great spot for the picky eater people in your life, and foodies alike! The service is always fantastic as well. The last time I was there I got to meet Rachel Ann Bovier and also eat thanksgiving dinner on a hotdog, so that's what I call a 10/10 experience. read more

We love Red's! Another of the small businesses cropping up in this part of the city that is giving us hope for the future of our neighborhood. A great spot to have a beer outside, bring your pup, play a board game. Their burger is great and they have a great rotating selection of drinks. read more

Great little spot with good drinks, a few decent beers on tap and tasty food options. We had the tender sandwich and burger, both options were a hit and they had many good sauces to try with your meal. Ended up adding on the seasoned fries which was a good decision as they were delicious. The staff was friendly and fast. Check this place out! read more

This place has been open for awhile and I drive by all the time, wanting to stop. The set up of the place is very open with lots of seating. There are picnic tables outside along with seating at a garage door style window on nice days. Inside there's bar seating, hi-tops and regular tables. Prices on everything were extremely reasonable. They have a nice selection of drafts and cans with a smaller menu, but everything we had was so good. The Red's Goodburger was delicious. They have a sauce station where you help yourself to the sauces for sandwiches and fries, which we liked because we could use a s much or as little as we wanted. Lucas, the owner, was very welcoming and checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was okay. For the app, being a Brashear grad, I had to get the Brashear cheese bites just for fun. It's a great addition to the Brookline neighborhood with a lot of foot traffic since it is right on Brookline Boulevard. read more
