We stopped by on a whim last Friday night after volunteering in the area at Community Kitchen…read morePittsburgh. There's a parking lot but we just walked over. You walked in and can either take the stairs or elevator up to the third floor. There's a couple of couches, a water fountain, and some memorabilia on the ground floor. The second is off limits. The taproom is pretty big and we didn't sit outside since it was cold but there's a rooftop deck as well. There's a food counter with a small menu and two open bars from different breweries. I like that they have smaller pours that are reasonably priced. I'm a dark beer lover and they had a few options for me. We sat there at the bar and closed down the place. This place is a little out of the way but I would come back!

This really can be a great space. An old historic building given new life and bringing people into…read morethe community. This space houses two (soon to be three) breweries and has a kitchen. There is an outdoor ground level patio and bars in the nice weather but that is all currently closed. There is also a rooftop space which I have been to before and it's great. It's nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views while having a nice drink, though it can get crowded. Inside there is plenty of seating. You can grab a stool at the bar by Abstract Realm. There are large tables. TVs around. Plenty of room to gather. I personally have not tried the food but it's nice that there is a kitchen there to grab some food. As far as the beer I think it will be helped when the third brewery opens just to give some more variety and options which is needed. There is a parking lot but it is small and can fill quickly which may leave you looking for nearby street parking. Overall I think this can be a great stop. It's nice to have a few different breweries where people can each find something to their liking while you are able to gather and socialize.

Such a super fun bar to go to! Halloween all year and dope shirts! They are so nice here too and…read moreit's always a good vibe. Kicking it back with some old rock and punk makes it the perfect millennial hang out. Great ciders on tap too that are local! The bar tenders are always smiling and super friendly.

I'm struggling. What am I reviewing? I honestly don't know where to begin…read more Ok I do like starting with the good. The place is fun. Especially for groups and for kids. The place has a wide open and welcoming environment. Sure it gets busy, but you never feel without space to stretch out. The bowing, the games, and the slides are all great. Lots of fun. And tons of "free" stuff to do in there. I enjoy that you can bring in outside food. I wish that they had napkins or something for you, but not a big deal! The beer variety is great and the cocktails are pretty good. Can you tell I'm eager to get to the bad? It's the service. Mainly the bar service. This is a sample size of probably 10+ times being here and without a doubt, most of the bartenders are miserable, not polite, always act as if you are inconveniencing them. It's wild. It's not always the same person. I see new bartenders all the time there and without fail, they are really bad. The woman who was working the first floor main bar on Saturday 1/17 around 1:30pm was by far the worst. She was so bad that I'm at a breaking point and I need to avoid this place for awhile. Pins Mechanical - please fix this culture of bad service. It's a shame and unnecessary.

This is a really great cocktail bar with cool speakeasy vibes! My fiancé and I went on a Friday…read morearound 8:30 pm and it wasn't as busy as I was expecting! We easily got a seat at the bar. (Sitting at the bar is the best!) We started with Bartender's choice (which is always a good idea if you're at a specialty cocktail bar), and we both loved what we got! They made me a Juliet & Romeo, which was gin, cucumber, mint, etc. they made my fiancé a Safe Return, which was bourbon, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. (didn't write down the ingredients so can't remember it all lol) I also got the classic Last Word, which was great! They didn't include the maraschino cherry garnish which made me sad, but I lived lol. I also tried the Euro Trip from their specialty menu, and it was delicious and very spicy from the ginger. They also had their own barrel select of Knob Creek, which my fiancé tried - so cool! The bartenders were super chill and the ambiance was great! A little pricey but worth it.

We did some research before heading to Pittsburgh. This bar came up under speakeasy and we wNted to…read moregive it a try. While technically not a true speakeasy in the sense of hidden doors and secret codes, it is amazing. You do have to "look" for it. From the street not an easy spot. But you will be so glad you found it. True craft cocktails with knowledgeable, accessible staff. We had wonderful conversation and superb drinks. I am sorry to forget our bartenders name but she was a professional (I hope she enjoyed Detroit) Not a pretentious place, just good people.

My fiancé and I went here for the first time recently! It was a Friday just after 7 pm and it was…read moresuper busy. We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated, which wasn't too bad at all! The staff were super nice and were hustling! I got the fish & chips and the haddock was huge!!! I really enjoyed it. The fish was hot, fresh, and super tasty. Good tartar sauce too! My fiancé got the Black Watch burger and loved it! I tried a lil bite and liked it! There was a lil spicy kick to it which was nice. We both agreed that the fries were good, but were plain and could've been seasoned a little more. They were pretty thick (bordering on steak fries) so they weren't super crispy (we love crispy) But the fries dipped in ranch and mustard were solid - they have really good ranch!! Super cool & cozy pub!

I love a Pgh local place with unpretentious food as long as it's good food. The key to a local bar…read morebeing successful is being semi- welcoming. Nothing too much, just to feel comfortable. I don't usually eat in this area of the Pgh metro but a former colleague lives nearby and recommended the place. They always mention the food. We were nearby and stopped. To start- this is a bar. I get the feeling this is a bar first and food is second. It's extremely inexpensive. That seems to be its claim to fame. When I say inexpensive, it seemed like many people were there for the daily special as an afterthought while they drink. The food sizes are good. The prices are incredibly low. It was okay. Nothing was wrong. It just wasn't anything to come back for. The menu is mostly sandwiches and fried side appetizers. Pizza. I ate w a female friend. They had a sandwich w I think lunch meat roast beef. They ordered the appetizer sampler and I think what was listed as pizza bread. I think their bill was less than $20! My meal was something a little over $7. People were nice. It was a mostly older crowd and we were hit on more than once. I can see why my former colleague likes it as they're a single man almost 50. No kids, low prices, they have a dive bar scene feel but serve a decent meal for dinner. If that's something that you're interested in- this is the place.

We were blessed today with the owner, Steph, come in to sign up Hulu so we could watch the Pitt Panthers dominate and go 3-0. She is so sweet!! In the kitchen they have Julez. Yoy and double yoy!! That guy can cook. Had a bowl of chili which was spectacular, had crispy fat wings in Buffalo sauce that was phenomenal, had a double patty smash burger which was beyond recognition. Wow and double wow! Soft bun, crispy smashed burger, pickles and lettuce and oh yeah Mayo and mustard. Best smash burger I have had north of Miami Florida. Thank you Steph, Julez, and Jeff for running such an amazing establishment. If you have never been here befit then you need to get here soon.

It was cold when we visited, so…read morethe windows weren't fully open, but you can tell this place would be amazing in the warmer months with everything open and the city as the backdrop. The food menu is smaller but well thought out. We ordered the roasted root vegetables, which were flavorful and perfectly done, and the mushroom pizza, which was outstanding loaded with mushrooms, nicely garlicky, and full of flavor. The cocktails really stood out: well-balanced, creative, and with a large selection to choose from. We tried a variety and enjoyed every one. Overall, this is a great spot for drinks, views, and solid food. Definitely recommend checking it out, and street parking is available
