This appears to be a duplicate for the business but, I'll bite and write another review here…read more Spencer & his team do it again and again every year. This Halloween pop-up bar is hands down one of the best in the country. Themed, creepy, spooky, & ghoulish craft cocktails beyond your wildest imagination. Always spot on. Always delicious. And as always, a portion of sales are donated locally. Serving cocktails & the community. Bar staff and mixologists are some of the best in the business. Service is always stellar. Always. A lot of the drinks come in super fun themed cups & glasses. Don't be a D & steal them. This is a small business giving back.

I have an end of October birthday so I'm a sucker for all things Halloween…read more This place is so much fun. Every square inch is covered theme Halloween/spooky decor. Thankfully nothing is overly gory or too creepy. To avoid a line, it is best to go right at opening or about an hour before it closes. There is a list of fun themed drinks served in quirky glasses that match the theme of the drink (a mummy, for example). I visited three times and tried a different drink each time. One thing is that they can (and often do) search your bag to make sure you don't steal the glassware. Sad that they need to so that, but I guess I understand why they need to check. If you are looking for a quirky, fun experience while downtown, definitely check it out.

I love Bob's Garage…read more How could you not be filled with joy when here? I love being surrounded by all the colorful lights and decorations. It brings out that kid feeling... all year long, not just during the holidays. Sure, it's just a little ol' bar but there's something kind of magical about it. I've been there for karaoke a few times, which I love. I wish that they were still selling food. Maybe they will again someday. It was nice to get a bite there before karaoke starts.

I've been here a few times in the daytime and the lights have been fun even with the sun out. The…read moredecor is like those of my favorite Florida Keys bars. It's very eclectic, tropical, and the music is great 70's-80's rock at a nice volume. They also have a few TV screens for sports or other interesting viewing. Dave has been my bartender both visits. He's cool, welcoming, and informative regarding the different beers they offer. He recommended a wheat beer called Allagash and served it with an orange slice. Delicious and refreshing. Not as sweet as Blue Moon. I really enjoyed it. Their kitchen is currently closed, but they allow outside food and have free popcorn. They make me want to drive over hills and through tunnels to get here!

I've been there several times and honestly, I love the place so much that I would regularly make the trek to walk there and back from my apartment in Bloomfield. It is famously known as Pittsburgh's "they-bar," and the second you step inside, you can feel how deeply intentional they are about creating a genuinely inclusive, welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ and trans community. The theme is delightfully nerdy and witchy, with cozy, magical decor that immediately makes you feel right at home. They have a massive roster of events--everything from drag shows and karaoke to incredibly chill craft nights--but even if you're just dropping in for a drink, they completely nail it. Their menu features an amazing selection of creative "potions" (cocktails) and just-as-complex "fauxtions" (mocktails) that respect sober and drinking folks equally. It's easily one of the most comforting, accepting, and fun spots in the city. PS: Contrary to the one bad review I've read here, the service has always been top-notch!!From slow days when the owners and bartenders would have long convos with us to super busy times like during the Millvale Music Festival, always amazing service. Even during the chaotic busy times, staff always have a smile and a nice word for customers. Support local. Support lgbtq+.

We went to this cute little gay bar after the Pirates game while we were in town Friday night…read more Super fun decor, of macabre, and pride, with charming tables and inclusive environment (captions on the tv! Yay!!) the back patio was super cute, and large sized with string lights overhanging and multiple different sections for a cozy intimate vibe. We elected to sit at the bar, after we were able to grab two stools, (was pretty packed when we came in). The menu specials are adorable with different options, to include non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, let's not forget the candy bar! We had a few different drinks, I chose all of mine from the specialty menu, he chose some on tap draft and specialties. All super excellent. I had the lavender menace and the mermaid magic, along with a lavender lemonade. He had the pretty pretty princess and the archibald on tap. There's a store upstairs by the owner who was kind enough to let me shop during off shop hours. The shop is a combination of spiritual/witchy items and pride items. I purchased several items and the shop has a website storefront that offers shipping and e-gift cards. I got to meet Fred! The sweetest pupper ever, just absolute love. I left my boyfriend at the bar for shopping and petting a dog for a good 45 minutes. Oops.

Tried a little of everything but I came for a good hot dog. I had a beef frank, they also have…read moreturkey and veggie dogs. They have all the toppings, and everything comes on a poppyseed bun. My bun unfortunately became very soggy. I still ate the dog and it was solid. French fries were average, but the wings and onion rings were excellent. Lots of sauce and rub options. Service was quick, and the waitress was on it! It was busy and our food came quickly, and our large party was well cared for. It's a small place but I could still have a conversation with everyone at the table. They even allowed for us to bring in the birthday cake. Over all a nice place to try a verity of hot dogs and other "bar" food with some nice nightly specials.

Located just in the back of Dr. Tumblety's specialty shop (behind a bookcase of course) it boasts Victorian romance, intrigue and mystery with its handsome furnishings and accessories. Everything screams early-1900s. The craft cocktails are next level as is the service. The drinks are curated with house-made spirits. They also have stellar mocktail options. I've been here for cocktail tastings, burlesque shows, and other events.

Super fun spot tucked away inside a curiosity shop and right next to a small distillery…read more The atmosphere is Victorian/goth. Lamp lighting, fancy tablecloths, lots of fabric. For the drinks, they use their own spirits. Their menu has something for everyone, including strong drinks, sweet drinks, and mocktails. I've never experienced a wait--and the bar is decorated with pennies!

Part art exhibit, part art gallery (where you can buy some the art on the walls!), and part dance party, it was a vibe. The cocktails they had were my favorites yet at Mixtape, especially the key lime pie-esque Simply Devine and the tropical Devine Intervention. $1 from each Devine Intervention sold during the month of June will be donated to non profit Danny Devine Studio foundation! They also have an expanded plant based food menu now - as a voracious meat eater, I still enjoyed it. Dannyland runs through the end of August!

We did pay a $10 cover, but it included a drink ticket. Not too crowded and our drinks were served promptly. Lots of fun holiday drink options. Fun bar if you're with a group of friends or family.

We stopped by for karaoke night on a Friday last month and to try their holiday cocktails…read more Unfortunately, they were closed for a private event so we had to come back. The holiday cocktails themselves were pretty good. It was pretty crowded so it was tough to get a drink but we managed. Froggy's is very much so a bar that's on the dive side and it doesn't try to pretend otherwise. I personally would not come back for their normal drink offerings but would come back if I'm feeling rowdy on a Friday night and want to do karaoke then.

Nice little "dive" bar in Bloomfield! We popped in while waiting for a table at Fet-Fisk.
