Cocktails

Enjoy vintage cocktails right down the street! See if Tahn is bartending (his name is pronounced "ton"). If not sold out, they have some excellent soups and interesting snacks! They are always happy to make suggestions on cocktails! They also have a bottle service, so if you'd prefer to grab a bottle of wine to take home, they've got you covered! https://www.yelp.com/biz/tinas-pittsburgh

I try to not list chains so you can have a unique experience -- although this place, with it's 5+ locations, is one of the exceptions! To be clear, this is NOT a dive bar, but no need to dress up either. Menu ranges from a Sunday brunch, to excellent burgers through Ahi Tuna. Say hi to Alex. And I love the Rueben egg rolls (yes, that's right) and the brussell spouts. And many of the beers! https://www.divebarandgrille.com/location/lawrenceville/

Classic Pittsburgh restaurant -- ask about the history of the sandwich! We have heard different stories. the most intriquing is that the mill workers with their dirty hands could not be holding sandwiches and handling fry after fry, so they put the fries and slaw on the sandwich! On a related note (well, not relating to the restaurant), read on the Pittsburgh toilets! It was another invention to assist folks working in the mills. Locals speak is that the Southside location rocks, but I have never found parking! Folks also like the one in the Strip District. This one is about a 12 minute walk away. You might find you need the exercise after smashing one of these sandwiches!

Just reopened in early 2022, this place has a unique vibe and great Mac and Cheese and veggie burgers. They were requiring a photo ID to enter, and photo of vax card last time I went. Don't judge them based on their website -- it looks a lot more colorful and fun once you are inside. On nice days, they have the front open so you can see the place before deciding! Just a 3 minute walk. Enter from Penn Ave. http://www.brilloboxpgh.com/

Neighborhoods

Tons of bars and restaurants. My favorites are Barb's (breakfaast), Walters (BBQ and tons of outdoor seating), New Amsterdam (food and craft beers), Condados (about the only chain there, but great location!), FRIO (ice cream), Mi Empanada (empanadas), Industry (bar and food), Geppettos (breakfast) Zen (asian take-out), Arsenal Bowl (bowling). Please note the map location is not in the center of these places. Contado's is a good central location to start! It is at 4300 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201.
