We were staying nearby in a temporary rental home and read good things about their .75 cent wings…read morespecial on Thursdays so we figured we'd try them. Okay. It's true. It's REALLY smoky in the bar part of this establishment. Super-duper smoky. We heard that the restaurant side does not permit smoking and so it's probably a lot better, but we were picking up takeout so ordered ahead, held our breath and took them 'home'. Excellent wings. Large, fresh, moist and flavorful (we opted for the dry Cajun seasoned with a side of BBQ sauce). Got them every Thursday for a month and they never disappointed. I'm sure people who smoke appreciate a place to have some drinks, good food and conversation so I don't begrudge them at all, I just am very sensitive to cigarette smoke. We got 'em to go each time. No regrets.

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!

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.

The other day I stopped by for a friend for lunch and we weren't disappointed. He got the wings and loved them. I had fries (couldn't finish, they give you a lot) and a grilled cheese sandwich with pickles and tomatoes. Food is typical bar fare. Nothing fancy but good. Service is totally Pittsburgh-friendly & funny. There isn't anything fancy about this place and there doesn't need to be when the food is good and the drinks are cold.

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!

I have some musician friends who invited me to check out this fun little place on West Liberty…read moreAvenue. It was a Wednesday night, because that's when R-Bar has their "jam night." First of all, the place was pretty packed - a great sign for a newcomer. The crowd was mixed. Mixed ages, mixed genders, mix races. A nice cross-section of our Pittsburgh culture, and everybody seemed to be having a great time. There were quite a lot of different musicians performing throughout the night, and obviously some of the best blues cats in the city are hanging out and playing at this place, because the music was excellent all night. A little bit of rock, but mostly blues and blues rock the night I was there. There were a lot of people drinking tap beer, and that tells me that the management keeps their tap system in good order, so where I might normally order a bottled beer in a strange place on my first visit, I was comfortable getting a Yuengling draft. It was nice and cold, fresh, and served in a clean glass for a very reasonable price. The bartender was very friendly, cute, and attentive. My second round I asked her if there were any craft beers, not expecting there to be any, because in this city, most of the classic bars just serve the standard yellow beers. Much to my surprise, the young lady starting rattling off a pretty nice list of craft brews, including my selection, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. Now that I know that R-Bar has good beer as well as good music, I will certainly be making a return visit. Parking is on the street, so you might have to walk a block or two from your car, but West Liberty Avenue in Dormont is pretty safe, so no worries there. My only criticism is a personal thing: I don't like smokey bars. I later found out that the owner is going to change their smoking policy on Wednesday nights in deference to the many excellent musicians who frequent the establishment for the jam night. Wednesdays are going to be "no smoking," and that makes me smile.

We head on over and pull into a sea of parked cars. That's really the only way to describe it because it's truly a mess that looks like a bunch of drunk folks attempted to park and rolled on into the bar. When I first walked in, I noticed there were a few empty seats at the bar which is where I thought we would be sitting. My friend motioned me to keep following which led us into a crowd of folks cheering on the brave soul at the karaoke mic. We found a nice spot and watched the stellar performances which were hilarious. I LOVED IT! There was some really good conversation had by all. The patrons and servers were soooo friendly. I thought it was pretty cool that a couple folks went out of their way to introduce themselves and invite me back again too. I felt the hunger coming on and didn't want to turn into Madea so we ordered some mild wings with blue cheese and celery. They were very good and they cook them right (no breading here and crisped up just right) because I hate a wet willy wing. Lol Now, I need to share my dislikes: Smoke...my clothes still reek and ohhh, my lungs but what to do? There weren't enough servers to manage the crowd. We did wait a while to place our food order and the wait for our bill was a long one. I mention these things to give you the best description of my experience as a real Yelper.
