Incredible experience the entire time and happened upon Cafe Nikos after a tour guide at the Fort Pitt museum recommended we head up to Mt. Washington and check out the local fare. I hate being a tourist so decided to take a chance and go into Cafe Nikos. No tables. No wait staff. Awesome. Long old bar with locals. Quiet. Not obnoxious. The bartender was extremely sweet and made the best spicey Bloody Mary. Cash only. The best fresh fried zucchini and great gyros. Learned a lot about the area and memories of the tornado that hit in 1998. I will make it a point to go back when I hit Pittsburgh again. Also, has a great pool table. $1 game. Pool sticks not warped. We play a lot of pool.

The bartenders and servers are so kind and helpful. Everything we tasted was so good. Crispy flavorful wings, sliders, and more appetizers like charcuterie kabobs, hummus with veggies, and perfect sized dessert assortment!

I was there on a Wednesday for their wing special, I had been before and the wings were overcooked…read moreand dry. I thought I would give it a 2nd chance, but no change. The small wings were completely overcooked and the skin was very hard, it almost shattered. I eat many wings at many places and these were not very good. Maybe people don't complain because they are 69¢ each. I would rather pay a little more and have something enjoyable. It wouldn't take much effort to cook them properly, most other places do. The night I was there, service was terrible. One bartender taking food and drink orders, putting it in the computer, picking up food, washing glasses, delivering food. On top of this my order was incorrect., twice! I was hoping my small neighborhood place would be a frequent place to visit, but it failed twice in a row.

We wrapped up the North Side Music Festival at Park House, and wow... this place has had a glow-up…read moresince the last time I wandered in, which was approximately several lifetimes ago. These days it's got a cool vibe, live music almost every night of the week, and just the right amount of "where has the last three hours gone?" energy. It's slim and dim......the kind of bar where you could lose all concept of time and have to check your phone to confirm it's not still Tuesday. The drink list is excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere makes it dangerously easy to say, "Just one more," five times. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully before another decade slips by.

It's a wonderful space where You feel comfortable and cozy along with receiving great food, cocktails, and conversation. The mix of people is eclectic where everyone is welcome. I have to say the old-fashioned is one of the best I've had. There is an amazing job. The Irish Cheese Boards are filled to the brim with yummy goodness. Pizzas are perfect and greet for sharing. The food and cocktail price point are perfect. Our server, Tiffany, is attentive, charming, and makes wonderful recommendations. It's also nice that she lives in the north side and loves it as much as we do. The park house also offers live music, which is a nice offering. E. Ohio St. on the Northside is the place to be.

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.

Unless someone were to tell you these would be some of the best wings you'll ever have you would never think twice of going in here for them This is me telling you these will be some of the best wings you'll ever have Meaty and fried to perfection with a perfect crunch. The wing itself, the best I've had. The sauces on them were ehh. Not the best by any means but not bad to where it will ruin the wing for you I would tie these with Nox's because Nox's buries them with the sauces but Gooski's has the edge on them with the wing cook Cigs inside as well. Without even smoking in there you'll come out smelling like a dart. Can always order to go if that'll bother you. No waiters either. You order at the bar

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.
