Delish
Ronald K.

Don't just walk by The Industrialist, stop in and grab a drink or some grub at The Rebel Room.it can get a bit crowded but this oasis is worth the wait. Drinks are seasonal and fun as well as the deserts. The French onion soup was awesome. It could have had a better broth but the cheese and crusted bread was perfectly done.

Kettle One up with a Twist
J E.

Me and a friend were in the area for work and came in for cocktails one evening prior to dinner. The bartender staff was great! The venue looks really nice and they have a nice cocktail list too. We tried a couple of drinks from the list and also just a fav of mine, a Kettle One up with a Twist. Everything was great and we enjoyed chatting with the staff there. Definitely will return!

Overall the experience was fair. My family and I went there on Easter for dinner. Other than a few couples that came in for drinks at the bar, we were the only people there. I understand we are a group of 7 and it's a holiday, but it was dead yet somehow the service was incredibly slow. After sitting for 10 minutes, we finally got to put in our drink order. They were out of 1 of the 6 wines by the glass and my sister ended up with something significantlymore expensiveand not one she really wanted. After another 10 minutes our server told my niece and nephew that they were out of rootbeer. Not once were any of us asked if we wanted another drink throughout the meal. The menu is small and unimaginative. We had the burrata to start, which was ok but the bread was stale. I did appreciate the giardineria, fruit, and candied nuts on the side. I got the short rib sandwich. The horseradish sauce was delicious. The fries were tasty but served luke warm and thus became mush in 5 minutes. The au jus was also luke warm. Finally, at the end, we asked to see a dessert menu. We were told they had chocolate cake and plain cheesecake. My neice and nephew ordered one of each. 5 minutes later, we were told they were out of both. I really wanted this to be a good experience but this is not one I'll be adding to my regular rotation.

Breakfast menu

The Rebel Room is a bar / restaurant attached to the Industrialist Hotel downtown. I wasn't staying there but had always to try the food. The breakfast / brunch menu had great selection of sweet/ carbs / savory / protein / fruit you name it. I ordered the Rebel Wrap which came with potatoes. Every ingredient in the wrap was great (chorizo, avocado, cheese, eggs). The potatoes were nicely seasoned too and had a slight crunch. All around good meal and I would come back.

Service, food, and ambiance is awesome. Brussels are recommended as well as the house old fashioned..

Came here for a work outing and the staff was great. Chill music and ambiance to enjoy a beer, an Irish Slammer, or several.

I stopped by The Rebel Room and ordered the perogies and a salmon caesar salad. Both dishes were just okay--nothing memorable, and the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. On the positive side, I appreciated that the restaurant was open on a holiday, which made it convenient when many places were closed. Overall, decent food but not quite worth a return visit for me.

Crab cakes and fries side
Elizabeth H.

On the couch, just back from dinner, in The Industrialist to write this review- Am here on business and was happy to find a hotel with a well reviewed restaurant on site. Well....let's talk about that...... Sat down at the bar solo. Gal bartender- attentive, but never smiled at me the whole time. Made the worst dirty Sapphire martini I think I've ever had. Ordered the crab cakes and a side of fries. Came quickly, which was nice bc on the road I was hungry. The crab cakes- zero lump crab meat. Fully breaded with a greens and arugula dressed salad. The dressing with the crab cakes was spicy and nice. I think the standout of the meal overall as the aioli for the fries. Fries, not house cut, but tasted fine. Then I also order a double G&T to finish the meal. And bill....ok, I don't skimp on paying if a meal and drinks are good. But $87 for what I ordered!!!!!! Not there. And especially when half of the time I was seated at the bar the bartender/servers were sitting down on their phones, or chatting to each other in how they want to travel. Sorry to say this is not a recommendation.

Coffee & Cappuccino
Tawnya H.

Pretty good breakfast- especially if you pre-paid for it. I will say, the first morning we showed up at 8:30 and were served lickity split. But when we showed up at 9:30 (30 minutes prior to the end of the breakfast window) - there were a lot of people trying to get the waiter's attention. It was pretty tense.

Classic Steak
Melissa T.

The Rebel Room in downtown pgh. We went to the Christmas Village, it was packed. Would've loved some more time to look at the vendors but the amount of people was crazy. While downtown we decided to try a place to eat. Zach came across The Rebel Room, since they were a couple blocks up from the Christmas Village we thought they wouldn't be as busy. Its attached to The Industrialist Hotel and has a kind of speakeasy vibe. Its not a big place and we were lucky enough to snag a spot. They had interesting cocktails but I kept it simple ordering something on tap. To eat I had their Classic Steak. I thought it was good, loved how their bread was crunchy and enjoyed their horseradish sauce. Their fries were perfectly salted and its been a minute since I've had shoestring fries. However they do not have a very big menu so if you're looking for a lot of options this is not the place for you. With being downtown their prices were not horrible so it wasn't crazy expensive or extremely cheap. Not sure if we'd try again since there are so many other places downtown we have yet to try but I think in a pinch if we needed to go somewhere without thinking or searching we'd end up back here.

Cute spot attached to the industrialist hotel. They can make a really good espresso martini! Service was really quick! Bartenders/ servers were really nice.

Vodka gimlet
Aditi S.

Had a great time here! We were on our way to the Cherry Blossom pop up that's on the second floor, but they were closed for a private event so we ended up here and we were so glad! Gives speakeasy vibes, great service - our server was passionate and really helpful with choosing drinks. There was seating available when we got there, but might think about getting a reservation next time since it got busy pretty quick. I got a vodka gimlet and it was delicious! Perfect sweetness and tasted great. Would love to come back!

Beet salad with chicken was absolutely delicious.
Katrin S.

We were walking looking for a lunch place and passed the cool swinging chairs and walked in. Our server Justin gave amazing recommendations and every dish was spot on! A great modern find in the city.

I didn't expect a dive bar downtown, but enjoyed the cocktails and dark ambiance. I'd check it out again when I'm in the vicinity.

The staff they had at the convention were all super-cool people. They served great drinks. I haven't seen their drink menu, so I just said a few words about what I like, and they mixed up good stuff -- at reduced alcohol per my request. Perfect! Best of all, they had the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal as their special guest. (But she lives in North Carolina, so don't expect her as a regular in the Pittsburgh location.) Space Bar is obviously LGBT+ friendly, but it's an everyone bar. OK, maybe not everyone: it will be more fun if you're interested in science fiction and fantasy, and don't upset the vibe. I'll be sure to visit the in-person location next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

The Hype is not deserved here…read more Let's begin with parking: one poor valet trying to keep up. Turned away as no more space. The area is a traffic disaster. Rooftop bar? Most seating and is interior and without view. You can peer over the sides or stand outside, no reservations, and packed. Drinks are average. Not high end cocktails, rather, locally distilled brew with too much mixer. Food is bar food. Meh at best. Service appears to want to be anywhere else but here. Inattentive and slow. It's screaming loud, the crowd appears to have migrated from Donzis (iykyk). If you have been to other urban roof top bars and are hoping this is Pittsburgh's equivalent, sadly, it misses the mark.

3.5 stars. The Finch is a rooftop bar and restaurant that is named after the Joseph S. Finch &…read moreCompany's distillery that was located in the building in the late 1800s. The bar serves cocktails, wines, beers, and mocktails. For dinner and late-night bites, the restaurant focuses mostly on small plates and shareables, including charcuterie, chicken wings, pizzetta, steak, and salmon. They also have a Sunday brunch that serves lox bagel, shrimp and grits, French toast, mimosa, bloody Mary, etcetera. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The best aspect of The Finch was its beautiful views of downtown Pittsburgh's skyscrapers, Monongahela River, and subway trains. The foods and drink were a mixture of quality, and my husband called them "garbage" (eek!). Here are my ratings for them. Berry Mint Spritz - 4 stars - This mocktail (I could have ordered it with alcohol to turn it into a cocktail) contained strawberries, mint, lemon, syrup, and soda water. All of the flavor had settled on the bottom of the glass, so I could have used a straw to mix the drink, but I did enjoy the flavors. Summer Crab Cakes - 2 stars - I received two crab cakes, and they were some of the worst crab cakes that I have ever received anywhere. They contained too much breading and too little meat. I did not even like the flavor of the cherry tomatoes on the side. I usually love crab cakes, but with these ones, I could take only a couple of bites, and then I had the waitress throw away the rest. Hawaiian Pizzetta - 4 stars - This small pizza consisted of four slices that had cheese but no gooey cheese-pull. Other toppings were BBQ sauce drizzle, pineapple, ham, and red pepper. I thought that it tasted good. Ember Steak Skewers - 4 stars - My husband said that the steak was not the highest quality. At least the chunks of steak, peppers, onions, and mushroom (we counted one piece of mushroom!) were marinated and seasoned nicely. The total cost for this one mocktail, three foods, and one soda was $79 *plus* a 3% credit-card surcharge, tax, and a minimum tip of 18%. We asked the waitress for a receipt, but she did not bring us one, so we walked up to her to ask for it again, and we did receive it.

In addition to indoor seating on the first and second floor, they also have a fenced in patio outside for sitting. As we sat outside, we saw groups of people who could not figure out how to get into the speakeasy. Another thing that happened was that they closed early the night that I went because of the lack of customers. A group was trying to come in as we were leaving but we told them they were closing for the night. So be aware of that, if you're planning to go late night (past 11 pm). However, the drinks were amazing as always! They now added a couple of small bites so we tried the cucumbers. They were delicious and packed with flavor! Our drinks were great as always. They have even more options than the last time I was there which was nice! I still really enjoy this little space!

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

The entrée was good - gnocchi with sliced chicken atop a sort of corn elote / chowder / cojito confection. The gnocchi were stuffed with asiago, but I tasted more corn flavor than any asiago.
