For starters, we ordered curry and chips, which were a hit. The corn beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had and my husband's bangers and mash were delicious. (Clean, comfortable, clean restrooms ) We love to try new places to enjoy a meal at when we're in Pittsburgh. Piper's Pub was a very pleasant surprise. We found it on line and we were not disappointed. We highly recommend this pub when dinning out in Pittsburgh.

Seriously, I am still thinking about it…read more I got the toad in the hole, and my husband got the shepherd's pie, and when I tell you I have found some of my new favorite food in all of Pittsburgh, I mean it. Everything was absolutely incredible, and I genuinely cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu. And the whiskey chocolate pot de creme was the perfect way to end an amazing meal. My only complaint? The Scotch eggs only came with 2 halves. I could have happily eaten more! The staff was incredibly friendly, and while there was a bit of a wait for the food, that's understandable when the food is this good. Trust me, it is SO worth it! The atmosphere is very much a casual pub vibe, with multiple TVs broadcasting football games, so it's a great spot to grab a meal, watch a game, and enjoy some seriously amazing comfort food. Honestly, I'm already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a new favorite spot in Pittsburgh, this place needs to be on your list!

We went through the entire pub and were able to just squeeze in at the bar near the front. This is an authentic Irish pub - cozy, woody with old Irish decor.

There is a popcorn machine where you could grab a free bag of popcorn, which is nice and you just don't see anymore.

BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

I started with the focaccia and herb butter that co es out in a small pan. The dough wasn't dry and crusty like I expected (soft on the inside) but was delicious regardless. The halibut was perfect. Nice and crispy, and the eggplant caponata was so many things at once - sweet, earthy, vinegar-y, crunchy, briny. I got a glass of Marotti Campi "Luzano" Verdicchio white wine whose acidity and crispness cut through the sweetness of the eggplant dish while complementing the halibut. I had to do dessert. They served this amazing vanilla panna cotta with a blueberry lavender compote and candied matcha almonds. Even had tiny flower petals on top. Fragrant, light, fruity, but the savory-minty notes from the lavender and slight bitterness from the matcha almonds took it to atmospheric heights. The Emotions Sauternes French sweet wine balances all that out with sweet and acidic. I recommend pairing a wine with dessert if you get it. You will love this place. I'd give six stars if I could

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.

I am a fish and chips connoisseur, and this is definitely a top 2 fish and chips of all time. The fish was fresh, flaky, and the batter on the outside was perfectly golden and crispy. The chips were also perfectly cooked. I also got the chicken pot pie and it was delicious, it had a perfect buttery flaky crust and the filling was well-seasoned. My only complaints were that the tartar sauce could have had more pickles/acidity in it, and they forgot my hot sauce which costed extra. This meal made me want to click my heels together and say pip pip cheerio. Highly recommend.

I tried a black cherry ale that was delicious. My husband got a Vienna lager he enjoyed. He got the black and gold pizza with potatoes, garlic sauce, pepper, res onion parmesan, and provolone. It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.

I had a chicken sandwich called the drunken bird or something like that, and a steak sandwich. The sandwiches are really good and pretty big servings. They come with either fries or chips, and I like their chips, which are homemade, not out of a bag. All sandwiches on the menu are $7.50, a good price. Overall, this is a nice neighborhood pub.

It was quiet at the bar and it seems to be when it's not karaoke, so its a nice place to sit down and talk, but it's not "dead" quiet, I liked it. The bartender was very nice and attentive and made us feel very welcome, when she heard I never had ranch before because I'm not from here I had the pleasure of a nice plate of fries (really good fries by the way) and some ranch lol. Too many bartenders at other places aren't very talkative (understandable when it's busy), and the woman behind the bar made us feel like we were actually welcome that day. Five Stars to her!!
