I heard good things about this little bar and grill tucked away off of the main drag of Butler Street in Lawrenceville. I finally had occasion to stop on a Wednesday afternoon around 3 PM when I was in the area. I ordered a couple Christmas sales on draft which range in price from $7.59-$8 a pint. I ordered their mushroom Swiss burger which came with fries. The burger was large & fries looked hand cut. Burger was good, not best I've had but decent. I ordered the Natoli (Italian sub) to go & Reuben to go, both with chips. They make housemaid chips, and I was afraid if I ordered fries, they would be soggy by the time I got home. A few of the chips were soggy as well, but they did package a few chips separately to keep them crispy. The match of chips that were with the Reuben were extremely salty so much so that I could hardly eat them, but the other chips were crunchy and decent for housemaid chips. I seen some pictures of the Italian sub and while it actually was very good in flavor, I didn't feel like there was this much meat in it as I had seen in other pictures of the same sandwich that other people had ordered. I got a quart of their homemade wedding soup to go-it was great! Their menu is huge for a bar and they have lots of different burgers, lots of different sandwich, choices, plenty of appetizers and a few entrées. So in terms of bar food, the menu was actually outstanding. I would definitely return if I was in the area.

Burger & Fries
beth h.

A few steps up from a typical dive bar, but with a similar vibe. Outdoor seating is excellent, especially on a not-so-typical sunny day in Pittsburgh. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely try the burger - any of them - but you can't go wrong with the classic. The fries are super crispy and thick cut, which I tend to prefer. All-in-all, Stinky's is a great neighborhood spot to hang out with friends, grab and drink, and watch some sports.

wings

Good sandwiches, okay wings, and great apps. The mashed potato balls stuffed with bacon and cheese were my favorite- and the sandwich was pretty great too. Wings were okay. Service was good but their prices were really steep for a casual bar/wings were pricey. Our tab was well over $110+ for 3 people having 1 beer each and some food. They charge $14 for 10 chicken wings so next time I'll just stick with a sandwich

Potato Skins

This place doesn't stink in the slightest. It actually fucking slaps First and foremost I never order potato skins or things of that nature. After discovering how Stinky does them, I'll never eat them if they're not like this. They boil the whole potato, smash it, fry it THEN load it up with the topping. Thats how it's done I got the Real Whopper burger and this thing didn't disappoint. It was massive, cooked Pittsburgh rare, egg runs and massive bun Waitress was nice to us and helpful with recommendations. The spot itself is your typical sports bar. Nothing special there

Huge delicious menu. Lots of bar food options - menu is over 6 pages long!!! Something for everyone. Tons of beers and a full bar. They have parking in the back and street. They serve happy hour specials, some vegetarian dishes, have live music & over 21 HDTVs. Perfect spot to watch your favorite sports team!

Cheese fries

Perfect sports bar, lots of TVs to watch multiple games. Good specials for food and drinks. Coming back to check out happy hour. Staff was quick and attentive even though it was very busy during. Coming back for March Maddness

Maybe I'm bias, maybe I like the staff, or maybe it's because stinkys is just an overall good place for whatever you're looking for. If you're familiar with Lawrenceville, you know that it does not have a shortage when it comes to culinary selections. You can walk down 1 mile of butler and find a variety of foods to satisfy your cravings. Despite all those options, and living in Lawrenceville, I somehow always find myself returning to stinkys. From the staff all the way to the chicken wings--I can't rave about stinkys enough. It's also a sports bar and has an outdoor area. I have nothing but compliments. Even on days where it's more quiet I still enjoy coming over here and chatting with friends/ the bar staff. I 100% checking it out if you haven't been already. My suggestion: try a burger and if you have room, some wings.

Buffalo chicken salad
Adam S.

Well I come here often .. I'm trying to figure out why I paid $17 for this salad and there is hardly any vegetables!! I literally paid for chicken cheese and lettuce I'm assuming.. very disappointed.. didn't eat it

Dog menu
Lillian T.

Great neighborhood sports bar. Lots of TVs and they play the audio when it's pens or Steelers games. The outdoor seating is also a dog favorite (and they have a special dog menu available). Wing specials are where it's at! Wednesdays starting at 6pm and during Steelers game. The awesome sauce and stinkers are our favorites. Also a fan of the fried zucchini appetizer. Huge menu including some random entrees, pizza, burgers and hoagies. TBH we've always stuck with the wings and burgers so can't comment much about the rest. Great staff always, and other than prime Steelers time it's easy to get a table.

I wish I had a picture from my 21st birthday on April 8th 2013. One of my best friends, Roman, took…read moreme here to drink. I remember the shock of seeing the beer menu, ordering a chocolate stout, and not being prepared for it! It was a great place to drink and enjoy the atmosphere of the sports on the TV's and sitting next to the windows. I will have to come back here soon, as I haven't been back since... This is a great place to make wonderful memories with special people. You don't want to pass this place up.

We stopped into Sidelines because we'd heard good things about the wings. I'm here to tell you that…read moreyou may want to skip this spot. We stopped in on a Tuesday night and opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't busy. Something important to note is that when we arrived, the music was playing softly in the background. While the prices were decent, the service was not. Our waitress came over to us after our appetizers arrived, I asked for a refill, we made eye contact, she ignored me, and turned around. It took another ten minutes before I was able to get a refill, and she never asked again for the rest of the time we were there. The people sitting beside us arrived later and ordered similar food to us, and they somehow received their food quite some time before ours came out. I am almost certain the bartender forgot to put in our order. Halfway through our meal (which was okay at best), someone turned the music up so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm pretty sure "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" played three times in a 30-minute window. It felt like we were intruding on a private party despite there being maybe seven other people at the bar. Despite clearly being done with our food, it took us another 30 minutes to get our checks. If you're looking for cheap bar food and don't mind repetitive music at varying levels of volume and being ignored by your bartender, give Sidelines a try.

Our group stopped by New Amsterdam after an event nearby on a Sunday night, and we were blown away…read morein the best way. There was only one bartender working when we arrived, and despite the size of the crowd, she absolutely killed it. We arrived before most of the rush, and instead of offering us a cocktail menu, our bartender asked us our preferred liquors and what kind of flavor we were looking for. I opted for "something sweet with vodka," and wound up with an espresso martini with added chocolate liqueur. It was phenomenal. New Amsterdam also appears to have updated their menu, and our party was very pleased with the selections. Most of us finished our food so quickly that we didn't even take pictures! I went for the cheeseburger egg rolls, which were the perfect late night snack. The house-made burger sauce was a perfectly tangy pairing. Others in the party opted for some of the mac and cheese options, and everyone had overwhelmingly good things to say about the flavor combinations. Our food also came out very quickly, so we were very happy. Looking forward to going back to New Amsterdam when the rooftop opens back up in warmer weather, and excited to see what other delicious cocktails they'll craft!

Heard good things about the food at New Amsterdam! I saw their food truck they had in front of…read moreVelum Brewery, and the food looked and smelled amazing. They had a heated rooftop and DJ at the bottom. There were two bartenders working when I went. At the front, they had a wheel you could spin for $8 for a randomized drink. They also do trivia on Tuesday I believe. I got the curry poutine fries, which I've gotten from another restaurant before and they were amazing. I think this place puts a lot of sauce and cheese on but I think it would taste better if it had the curry on the bottom and had crispy fries to delay the time they get soggy. It was topped with green onions which was nice and a good fresh flavor addition. It's a huge platter of fries for $16 though - great to share for a group. I think their wing deal is worth trying - 10 wings for $15 and a MYRIAD of flavors to pick from.
