The 38 Best Pittsburgh Restaurants - Eater

"Art’s has been around for generations. It’s kind of like the Cheers of Pittsburgh, except with decent mixed drinks and fried chicken. Regulars go to the bar every week to relax over stiff drinks for less than $5, but even occasional visitors should expect the bartenders to recall names and go-to orders. Go for happy hour before it gets too crowded." - Briana L White

So glad this place is still going, even under a new name! Nat's was legendary back in the day when I lived in The Burgh. Looking forward to visiting Art's the next time I'm in the city!

Some of the women bartenders are great ! Very friendly and attentive. Good prices. Just not a place to go to on a weekend if your not into big crowds. This place gets packed wall to wall. No bathroom doors on stalls in womans restroom.

The chicken was awesome. I heard the drinks are good, strong, and cheap. Definitely a chill vibe. Tight space, but good for relaxing after a long day or catching up with friends until midnight. It started to get really crowded after that time. Security is present. Street parking available.

Nice bar in Pittsburgh, met some great Steelers Fans. Bartender was great, despite the manager of the place, just sitting there watching her try to take care a totally full bar. SAD. That's money walking out the door. Hopefully, it was one of those days type thing. Advice! Make the manager a bartender, and that bartender, the manager.

Art's!? Ok this is a "hood" bar in the city. There will be a huge mean looking security guard at the door just smile and lift your arms. It will be dark inside with dark people inside. The music will be either rap or r&b. Keep walking to the window at the back of the bar and order some of the best wings in Pittsburgh. Then grab a seat at the bar and order one of the cheapest drinks in the strip. It may come in 2 glasses if there's pour over. Chill till your food is ready and then leave, but I suggest that you check your privilege and stay a while.

I consider this the pregame spot in Pittsburgh. Stop by if you're in the Strip! $4.50 for a DOUBLE pour of Jack!!!!!

This is the most off-putting place i have ever been. The security guard is mean. I have been in a lot of hood style places but none that does not allow a lady to carry her purse and has to look in their wallet ! Yes the wings are good but not worth it. People of color we should be more respectful of each other. Double thumbs down!

This place is a the dive gym of Pittsburgh.. When you first walk in, it can be a little intimidating to someone that has never been in that type of environment but believe me it for everyone's safety.. Once your inside, the party is on. Nice strong drinks and the people are super friendly. It was packed on a Thursday night. Will totally be back to party again.

Cheap drinks - the only reason I bother going. Sadly there are only 2 bartenders there that are decent, the others are slow and rude. Mostly 30+ years old crowed, A LOT of smoking, and very small TVs. Music is controlled by a jukebox which is okay..the music is mostly 2011 and older...new stuff is scattered here n there. Any purse that goes in, gets checked and men are patted down - never ran into any issues while being there.
