    A place where all are welcome, the fries are perfect, the beers cold, and the smiles and banter come from the heart -- be it from the barkeeps, servers, or the regulars. Just go here!

    I have not been inside Silky's in over 20 years...which tells you why this is the best of old school Pittsburgh bars. I used to frequent Silky's in Squirrel Hill when I lived there in the 90's. Sadly that bar closed a few years ago I hear. Anyway, stopped into Silky's in Bloomfield for a couple drinks on a Thursday around 3:30pm. Their door is always open, bartenders was friendly & drinks & food are decently priced. We got a total of 6 drinks plus one cup of soup for under $50 including tip. House Chardonnay was a generous pour & Tito's & soda was not light on the vodka. It's definitely still a good place to stop for a drink. Next time I hope to try some food, but my friend liked her chicken and dumpling soup. It's dark & divey and sweet old school inside. They even had candy bar minis on the way out the door & it's not even Halloween! I snagged a Hershey & Kit Kat.

    Before the hockey game, I stopped in Silky's with my friend Tania who lives down the street. I enjoy these types of neighborhood bars nestled in the city. I had two Miller light drafts and a Bombay Safire Gin with soda. Jay had a heavy hand, so the drink made my belly warm. For food, I ordered the Chicken pasta mix with mushrooms. It hit the spot even though I prefer chicken as a breast instead of being shredded. The shuffleboard table is professional and fun, not level though so that adds to the challenge. Shanna delivered top quality service. Can't wait to visit again for the next trip to Pitt.

    I really enjoyed my first visit here with coworkers for a holiday get together. My only complaint is it is pretty crammed and there is some type of large scatter board type game blocking off tables that is very inconvenient. I only had a few vodka sodas (made strong!) and the french onion soup (to die for!). Wonderful staff and hope to try back more on the menu.

    We came in on a Wednesday night and found a good local crowd. It's our first time and we were a bit confused as to whether it was seat yourself or wait for a table. We meandered our way in and found started to look for a table and look at the beer list when a waitress greeted us and ask if we wanted a table or bar seating. We settled on a comfy high top and ordered drinks. Alas, the craft draft list was only IPAs. Blast, but we'll do. For food, I ordered the Crow's Nest crab cake bites, which came with fries and coleslaw. Hubs got the taco salad. The food arrived and portions are large. Unfortunately, my food was barely warm. It tasted as though it had been ready long before it arrived to the table. Hub's salad was standard pub fare, though no dressing required. The vibe is neighborhoody. It was nice out, so they left the doors open which gave it a nice breeze. Music is strange as it was very eclectic. Overall, it's good service, nice atmosphere, though food is average.

    Service was great. Got a Pittsburgher burger which was massive and some Guinness. Perfect combo!

    I love Silky's - it's a great place to stop in Bloomfield. It's like a secret spot, but they have great food and a good happy hour. Perfect for watching a Pens game or grabbing a drink with friends. They have great selection of draft beers and wines. We ended up going to Silky's around 6:30pm on a Saturday night. To start - we ordered drinks from the bar, and you get a jar of pretzel sticks to eat. Perfect for snacking. Next up, I ordered the delicious clam chowder- I always grab a bowl, but it is that good. For appetizer - we split the mozzarella sticks - they were also very good. For my entree, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with the waffle fries. It was so good. They also have the most delicious ranch dressing. Heads up - sometimes the service can be slow, but the food is always worth.

    Three pepper cheddar soup.

    Silky's is a nice neighborhood establishment with a diverse crowd. Nice beer selection and tasty basic bar food. Well done, folks! Delicious Sunday brunch and 22 ounce Bloody Mary specials.

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

Not to mention, they offer semi-strong long islands for $4 all day, It's sort of a premixed concoction that's just okay in my opinion. Nothing to rave about...but enough to lure you in for price and continue to get you in for more libation. lol Lefty's is a nice and fun hangout spot for friends for sure.and a great way to get into the mix of Pittsburgh natives (people from the surrounding area). The bar is a pretty narrow space and gets packed pretty quickly, but it is a great space to watch sports and chat with people. There is not a lot of seating space as the space is relatively small, but it is still comfortable while standing. Although crowded, the bartenders are quick and efficient with drink orders. If only they sold food, this spot would be perfect. However, there are several shops and restaurants along the strip to grab a bite to eat. In all, cool little dive bar in the heart of the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Also a great vibe and place to meet up with friends for a few drinks or a pit stop while site seeing the downtown area. Stop by, get in and fit into the vibe of this place. It's fun and good times.

Thursday was a mixed crowd, good music, and you can order food near by and bring it in. Friday evening, came the regulars. Which means those who don't prefer out of towners. So I'm good on Lefty's on Friday night. I need good energy around me always. TV's with the games, upstairs and downstairs seating area. Small patio. If you go, go early, when the old heads are there.
