Bridges & Bourbon

While visiting downtown Pittsburgh, I came across Bridges & Bourbon and decided to stop in. We ordered the beet salad and salmon, and I was especially impressed with the salad—it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I’d definitely go back just for that dish. The salmon was slightly on the dry side, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. The vibe of the place was fancy yet comfortable, with a stylish and modern ambiance. One thing that really stood out was the creative presentation of the drinks—even though I didn’t order one myself, the cocktails being served to other tables looked playful, artful, and fun. I’d recommend Bridges & Bourbon if you’re looking for a trendy spot with good food, great atmosphere, and beautifully crafted drinks.

We met some friends at Bridges & Bourbon for cocktails after dinner on Friday night, and it was the perfect spot for a post-dinner drink. The vibe inside is fantastic, and their cocktails are truly works of art. Many drinks come with dramatic presentations, like smoke or even a blowtorch 🔥

This was one of the nicest upscale cocktail bars that I’ve been to, the drinks were amazing and artsy, and the atmosphere was really nice as well!! The only thing we didn’t like is they didn’t tell us that there was last call so we were just given our check, but our server was really nice and helped us find another place to go after.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary thinking it would be a nice fine dining experience with great drinks. Honestly.. wish we went to Mt. Washington instead. Drinks were subpar- nothing special. My husband was disappointed in the bourbon selection and the cost. Atmosphere was very cramped and noisy. Food was absolutely not worth the price. If you look at their menu, their meals only come with 1 or no sides. I ordered the steak with potatoes, it was pretty delicious but not for $56. I was still hungry after. My poor husband got the crab risotto- Gordon Ramsey would be APPALLED. They use the stem from a green onion and it’s not cooked, so it literally tastes like grass and nothing else. The rice was mushy indicating that it wasn’t cooked properly. The portion was so small 😩. We spent so much money at this place only to end up ordering food from Applebees and drinking at a local bar. Do not recommend.. not worth the hype. Don’t let the fancy smoke drinks fool you.

Cute, clean restaurant, good vibes. We sat at the bar. The crafted cocktails were delicious and the food was great. We had the baked brie and lamb lollipop. Worth a visit.

I tried like 5 different cocktails and my husband had a few too. He also had a pour of the Fitzgerald based off the bartender’s recommendation. We came out for valentines. The night was amazing. Not a single item was bad. I ordered chicken and he had steak. Perfection. Their Pastry Chef made the most amazing hazelnut brownie. Light as a feather: not even real. We had a magical evening and I highly highly recommend coming here. Be it for the food, the drinks, or the atmosphere, you will have an unforgettable evening.

Went here after seeing a show at the Benedum, and the food and drinks were superb! The Lamb Shank was so tasty I tried the cigar lounge cocktail and then the PBJ and they were both so good. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful giving us insight into the cocktails. Definitely recommend this place.

What a creative AND delicious cocktail? Come here! I had a great time sitting at the bar and enjoying two cocktails and some small plates.

Always a good time! We really enjoyed the conversation bridges and bourbon. If we're downtown were likely stopping in for a drink. The staff and mixologitas are great! Love the ambiance!

Always love the Bridges and Bourbon smash burgers with a side of the delicious brussel sprouts. Service was excellent and enjoyed dining in the open atmosphere

We've been to Bridges & Bourbon many times as we love the vibe and style of the bar and restaurant. Sadly, we were disappointed with our entrees this time around. My salmon was overdone, while the rice it came with was underdone. My husband's burger was fine, but the teriyaki sauce was very thick and almost tasted burnt. Our cocktails were delicious and the side of sweet potato waffle fries we split were delicious! Overall, we'll continue to come for cocktails, sides, and desserts. Unfortunately, dinner let us down this time.

Very pleasant dinner at B&B. Enjoyed the Fog and Lotus cocktails along with the pasta dish and a wedge salad. At a restaurant of this caliber, they really should offer paper menus versus the pandemic QR code rigmarole. Can also be a loud place even when not very crowded.

Had a couple drinks at the bar, and we were then going to get a table for dinner. After a couple of drinks we decided to go somewhere else for dinner. If you're going to charge that much for a martini, at least use high quality olives and olive juice. The bartender was not very friendly, and it was hard to get their attention, even though they were not busy. They were too busy standing around talking. The whole vibe was very boring.

My fiancé took me out to dinner here for my birthday! We sat in the outdoor pods which were pretty neat and something different. Our server was fantastic. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We ordered the lamb pops for a starter, and they did not disappoint. For our mains, we got the crab risotto and chicken ballotine with brussel sprouts. The brussels were out of this world! The risotto had great flavor and a fair amount of crab. The chicken was decent - I thought it was a tad on the dry side (though it was probably just the prosciutto). All in all, a wonderful night with fun cocktails, stellar service, and yummy food. Would recommend to anyone!

Tasty cocktails with style! While they're a little pricey, you're paying for great presentation plus a great ambiance here, so it's worth a stop if those things are important to you. Our kept up with the busy night and offered great recommendations as well.

I really wanted to like this restaurant. The food was delicious. My friend and I split the burger four dollars extra to add bacon. We had fried green tomatoes which needed a little bit more sauce we asked for some, but it took our server so long we had already finished them till she came back. Drink drinks were good. The fog was delicious. I was intrigued by the butterfly effect. My server really didn't explain it to me when she sat there. I didn't know there was a tube of liquor in the smoky bottle so I ended up pouring it all into my drink, which was not the right thing to do. The truffle fries were amazing. I was just really disappointed in our server. She was not very attentive. My friend asked for lemon with her water and she forgot it completely. Then remembered we asked for ketchup when the fries came also took a very long time to get that practically done our fries till she came back with the ketchup. Not sure if we would go back.

Cute spot with cute cocktails! Definitely appealing to the Instagram crowd. Would recommend this bar because it's not your usual spot. It feels more elevated.

Excellent, innovative and one of the best bars I've been to! Any other bar pales in comparison whether it's DC, Nawlins, Seattle, Chicago, London or Paris, etc., this was very inventive. Service was just as excellent as their cocktails. Ambience, you say, this was perfection! Ugh, I want to keep it to myself but it's hard to stay mum about such an amazing bar! Reminded me of Seatlle-Bellevués Civility & Unrest and the Sovereign in Asheville, in that order! This one tops in my unbiased opinion! Kodus to our waitress who recommended and assisted with our choices. Wished we had more time... A return visit a must! Until then!

Found this spot randomly on Yelp and decided to give it a shot after seeing the cute outdoor seating. We had reservations and originally had booked for outdoor seating. The restaurant called the day of in the morning to confirm our reservation and mentioned that there is a 200$ minimum if sitting outside and my wife wanted to sit inside as it was cold, so I was able to get them to update the reservation. We got there and got a table right away. The vibe of that place is really good. Felt like a dark cigar lounge minus the cigar. The place was packed but still had room. We tried a few of the things on the menu. The steak was great! The smash burger is the best burger I've tried tbh. Like nothing fancy , just a simple tasty burger. The sweet potato fries were awesome as well! One of my favorites! The Brussels sprouts were good too! Like all the food was great and we were like we should make this one of our to go spots for food! The drinks were ok. I feel like the old fashion could have been a little better with a stronger bite to it. The gold rush was decent nothing to brag about. But we did see ppl ordering other drinks that looked fancy! So definitely will be back to try the other drinks and flights! It was a great dinner and we will be back!

Love the vibe here with plenty of seating at tables or the bar. Our waitress was outstanding! The drinks were super fun and delicious. The food however was lacking in my opinion. I got the smashed wagyu patty with pastrami. I thought it was dry and overcooked. The salad was tiny but tasty. Overall I would be back if only for drinks! Not many gluten free options either.

Beautiful and relaxing decor immediately lets you know you are about to experience an elevated dining experience. Bridges & Bourbon has a gorgeous bar that provides the perfect backdrop for their creation of unusual and beautiful cocktails. The wine list is amazing and quality bourbon is plentiful. B&B's Delmonico ribeye with whipped potatoes and jus was outstanding. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Lovely spot. Highly recommend. Suggest making a reservation.

Happy hour at Bridges & Bourbon has officially won me over! I had an excellent old fashioned for only $11 and the fries were so well seasoned and only $5 on happy hour. My old fashioned was seriously so delicious - it was sweet but still had the good bourbon taste with the orange finish. Loved the whole experience!

We absolutely loved our visit to Bridges and Bourbon! We weren't able to get a reservation, but when we walked in a few seats were open at the bar. The bar was beautiful. We loved the decor and ambiance. Service was amazing! The bartenders gave us some recommendations based on what we were looking for. Their old fashioned was great! The bathroom was also really clean and had a bouquet of roses, which was a nice touch.

Amazing and creative cocktails followed by a delicious dinner. The salmon was a bit overcooked but great flavor.

Stopped here on a Friday night while on a weekender trip. It came up on my searches, and as a bourbon enthusiast, it made sense. The ambiance is very dark and intimate, I really liked the ability to toggle the brightness of the table lamps, that was huge. Bright accents and gatsby-style fixtures inside, a variety of seating options We sat and order a few drinks - I went with the old-fashioned. It was good - though they didn't really splash too much in the glass - portion was small. We shared a baked Brie board which was good - came with a variety of breads to dip in and the apple Butter was a nice touch. However, the bag that the Brie came in was unnecessary. Just take it out so the customer doesn't have to interact with it like we work there. I was a little frustrated with the menu - a nice mix but seemed very light. Small place, keep it simple I get it. But if I'm getting a pork chop, something is missing. Jokes aside I went with the bone-in chop. The pork chop was good - moist and tender. It came with broccolini and a sweet potato mash. The mash may have been the most flavorful item I have had in a long time. Plenty of flavor profiles explored on the plate - overall good. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake - which wasn't, more like a no-bake cheesecake torte in a cup. That's a big no-no for me. Cheesecake is meant to be baked and in slice form! Would recommend. Would return to explore bourbon menu only.

I had a lovely first experience at Bridges and Bourbon. The space is modern, elegant, and inviting. I sat at the bar, and was so kindly welcomed by the bartenders. Special shoutout to Taylor, who made our drinks like a pro. I learned he was new to Pittsburgh, and I hope he sticks around because he makes a great cocktail and is proud of his craft. I tried the White Sands and the Butterfly Effect. I really enjoyed both of these, as they were on the sweeter side. And the presentation on these drinks was above and beyond! I also took a sip of the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot- if you like whiskey, you'll enjoy it, and the Purple Haze- this drink is strong and you will for sure be tasting the liquor. The couple at the bar next to us said to order a Last Word, so we did just for kicks. I took a small sip and it wasn't my cup of tea (too herbal for my liking), but glad I tried it! I look forward to returning here, as it is a beautiful, elevated space downtown that makes a great spot for a date night, girls night out, or a celebratory drink and the service was out of this world. The bartenders were beyond attentive, interactive, and happy to serve us. Will definitely be back!

Best cocktail bar in Pittsburgh. Come for the craft cocktails and stay for the posh bar and aesthetics. It's a classy place, but doesn't at all feel stuffy or snobby, which at times, can be the case for cocktail bars. I dig it. We visited Bridges & Bourbon as part of our bar crawl and this was the last stop, so we ended the night with a bang. At a certain time, the kitchen closes, so don't come here the last hour if you're expecting food. However, they do serve food during standard dinner hours. I ordered a seasonal cocktail, which had pumpkin and spice flavors and was served in a bird glass. You really can't go wrong though with any of the cocktails here, which are made with a lot of love and pride. It's pricey, but it's pretty standard pricing for craft cocktails such as these. We had a lovely time here, and our server was friendly and happy to make recommendations. I'd definitely come back when I'm in Pittsburgh. They accept reservations, which you can easily do online, so recommend doing so during dinner hours and with a group. The place is popular for good reason. Love the libations here.

I saw an instagram reel recommending this place for cocktails and it did not disappoint! The drinks were so inventive and fun, and the service was friendly. Vibes in here are ON POINT, and I already can't wait to come back!

While in Pittsburgh for business, I walked into this place, which was directly across the street from my hotel, and I was not disappointed. I was greeted immediately and I chose to sit at the bar. All the bartenders were extremely friendly and immediately asked what I wanted to drink. I chose a Yuengling as my first drink and it was a great choice. However, I noticed the bartender, whose name was Nikki, kept making old fashioneds so I decided to have one. Let me just say Nikki knew what she was doing and it was by far the best old fashioned I've had. Nikki was also friendly, talkative and made me feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's in Pittsburgh and looking for a great bar with great drinks.

This was a nice place. The vibe was vibing. (I didn't say that) I enjoyed the option of a flight of bourbon for me who is still new to the game. There was one that I did prefer out of the 3. I very much liked the scallop meal and recommend it. They sat us right away and the only thing was I felt that my larger winter coat was getting in the way. I wish there was a way to not feel so in the way of these small cute places. Check out the photos.

I'll preface this by saying that we did not eat here. We stopped in on a Monday for a Birthday drink before heading somewhere later. The hostess, waitress and manager could not have been any nicer. We ordered an espresso martini and an old fashioned. Both were extremely well crafted and delightful. Evidently, the waitress told the manager it was one of our Birthdays so they brought over a glass of Prosecco or other sparkly libation to toast the occasion. How unexpected and appreciated. We'll definitely be back for dinner!

The bartender was a bit..... not mean but not warm? If you like to meander from the drink menu, this isn't the place. Although, the assortment of drinks will keep you from meandering. The drinks were phenomenal and food was ok. The atmosphere was super chill and elegant.

If you want a unique cocktail, definitely give this place a try! Great location downtown and friendly service. The drinks were tasty and all the presentations were an experience. We shared a few apps which were good, but overall nothing stood out. If you are looking for a spot for a drink downtown, definitely give it a try!

Ok so I'm still giving this 5 stars....even though our experience didn't start off great. I still feel like they deserve 5 stars because of how the entire interaction was handled. Honestly it was VERY busy in here: it was a Friday night, a lot of people were going out for a late Valentine's Day dinner (us) and a lot of people were either in town for Drake or to go to the car show at the convention center. So that being said, I understand that they were stressed. However, let me just say that I don't think the hostess's communicate. We walked in for a 6:15pm res at 6:05-- hostess said she could not seat us until 6:15 so we'd have to wait. We said cool no problem. And then she said ohhh actually there's some seats opening at the bar. Give us a min and you can go there. The people at the bar leave, and so we go over and sit. Not one minute later, a different hostess comes over and says "you can't sit here there's actually a LINE for the bar. There's people ahead of you". We immediately were like ummmmm she literally told us to. But ok. We will get up. So we go back to the hostess stand and have to wait another 5 mins or so for a table. Not a huge deal. But overall it wasn't best way to start our dinner here. We weren't going to make a big deal out of it at all. Food: whatever you do....get the Brussels sprouts, they're my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Smashburger: also very very good. Poutine - my husband loved it and he's a huge poutine snob lol. Fries - very good but a little peppery or over seasoned. The dessert was meh. I don't recommend. Drinks: honestly I've been here multiple times and these were my least favorite drinks I've ever had here. Just skip these and get a bird drink! If you like sweeter drinks, that's usually the way to go. However, they are not cheap. When we got our bill, the server ended up telling us that they took care of the dessert for us. Due to the "wait for the table". So it seems they did realize that there was an issue when we arrived. Which I thought was nice of them to do. So overall I DO recommend visiting, I think it just depends on what you're wanting!

Bridges and Bourbon has some of the prettiest and most instagrammable cocktails in Pittsburgh (and yes, I laugh every single time I drink out of the butt of the bird glass). A friend and I stopped in on a Friday afternoon around 5:30pm for some drinks. All the tables were booked but we were able to snag a couple of seats fairly quickly at the bar. The bar is just BEAUTIFUL to look at. The space has a very classy vibe so I would recommend dressing on the nicer side. In addition to the bar seating, there are tables and booths in the main area, and a handful of BridgeHouses (basically little see through houses outside on the street that seem like a relic of pandemic times). Our bartender was lovely and got us our drinks relatively quickly. I will admit, the drinks are on the pricier side here ($17 for The Peacock and $15 for Space and Thyme) but the ambiance and the presentation are worth an occasional stop by. I haven't had their food in a while but I remember it being pretty tasty.

came back again, a v cute place for a dinner date. my friend and i got the sweet potato fries which were SOOOOOO good. she also got something salmon (sorry i can't remember the name), the mushroom risotto wasn't good tbh we had to ask them to take it back. the chicken thigh salad was also okay, chicken was dry but the goat cheese was a nice touch. also got some cocktails which were pretty good.

Just had cocktails at the bar for happy hour! An old fashioned and an espresso martini with black pepper on top, which was different! Went somewhere else for dinner so can't speak to food. The bartender was really nice and very attentive .

Friday 3/7/25 REZ 6:15 for 4 First time for our party Ambiance perfect - Table was ready - Old Fashion was perfect - Shrimp & Brie appetizers were seasoned and delivered as drinks were refilled - Salmon portion size was CRAZY big with a side of asparagus to round out the meal - No need for dessert - Service by staff and management stellar All 4 satisfied with meal and charges Under $100 per patron - Cannot be beaten! We will be back

Lovely place for a fun, flashy cocktail experience before a show downtown. Bridges & Bourbon sat us quickly after our reservation fell through at a different nearby restaurant. The service was impeccable-- they were proactive about asking if we had a show or time constraint and were attentive to food allergies. The outdoor seating is on the street in small 4-person domes. A small fire and Bluetooth speaker are provided. The cocktails are magical- most come with some dramatic dry ice and spectacle glassware. We joked that they had a Michael's gift card and went wild with various props including hollowed books and feathers. The food does leave something to be desired. The menu is limited and doesn't leave much room for choice . There is a vegetarian and gluten free option. We'd love to see more variety in the future if we were going for dinner as well as cocktails.

Bridges and Bourbon has nice ambience (navy walls with gold accents). I stop by for happy hour. I didn't try a drink from the happy hour menu. I tried one of their top selling cocktails with just called the butterfly effect. I want the owner bought it out. He totally caught me off guard. It comes on a wooden tray with hot rice with lemon juice and there's a skinny tall glass and you pour the lemon juice in it. The presentation is so DOPE! When he came out, everybody kind of stopped to check it out . It literally felt like I was in a science class. I did get some bites from the happy hour menu . I had the charcuterie board. It was pretty tasty. My friend had the mushroom burger which was soooooo delicious! His burger was packed with flavors, the mushrooms and caramelize onions were much on point. The service was A-1. Shana was my server she's AMAZING!!! She's the best.... very polite, she engage with us, she explained everything that was on my board, and, made suggestions. After we left . Olivia was nice enough to give me a call on the phone. notifying me that my friend left his glass water bottle behind.

We stopped here for drinks after an event to celebrate and this was the most fantastic, elevated and unique drink experience ever! We arrived so late that the kitchen was unfortunately closed. We will have to come back another time to review the food menu. The drinks were so next level and like something concocted from a magician or wizard in a fairly tale. Servers Amanda and Caleb were absolutely the best. Both we extremely attentive, informative, professional and amazing! And to note, Caleb was new and we certainly could not tell! The drink presentations they provided were top notch! We were blown away! We tried the Peacock, Just Peachy, chasing the Golden Hour, TKO and more! We enjoyed our visit. Hope to try the food next time. also wanted to send a special shout out to the manager Sean as well.

I feel like a regular here now - I go SO often. My only "complaint" is I wish the menu was bigger haha! They have the coolest specialty drinks and I love their burger. I also get their fries with blue cheese often, which always hits different. I love the moody atmosphere too.

Walking by on the way to our downtown hotel, couldn't pass up the cute little glass houses on the sidewalk. No reservations on a Saturday night, the place was pretty busy but the hostess asked if we would be ok with sitting outside in one of the houses. We were so excited, think8 g they'd all be reserved. Very cozy with great service. We shared the baked Brie app and a few cocktails. The butterfly effect cocktail is a must!! If I lived in Pittsburgh, I'd definitely be a regular.

ZERO STARS!!! Worst service I have ever received. My friends and I just wanted to grab a drink and chat on a Sunday night at 8 pm when we were rudely welcomed by two hostesses who already had an attitude that we walked through those doors. When we asked to sit at the bar we were told there weren't enough chairs which they then offered to give us a six person table. We sat down, had a glass of water, looked through the drink menu and then we were asked to show IDs upon ordering. Our waitress took our IDs handed them back and not even 5 minutes later the manager came back to take our IDs to the back. We were then told that our IDs had multiple issues and insulted us in front of other customers while the hostesses were eyeing us down and laughing. While leaving the hostesses were giving us snarky comments like "Good luck finding a table". I have been in multiple restaurants in not only Pittsburgh but various cities with the same group of people and we have never been treated this way. The entire management is rude, stuck up, and unprofessional. By far the worst restaurant in Pittsburgh.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. We sat there to get drinks (we're all 21/22) the manager was watching us weirdly, making us all uncomfortable. She took our ID's and came back saying they can't serve us because serval of them were fake (again we're all 21/22???). Manager spoke down to us with a rude and vile attitude. It was incredibly disrespectful and just unprofessional, I have never been treated this horribly before in my life. Just curious how these people got jobs in customer service? You need to have a morale workshop for your workers because wow, I've never met a more incompetent, ungracious, feral, group of restaurant workers. Bless your heart.

Had a great time popping into Bridges and Bourbon for a drink with friends. I was drinking Mocktails but my friends had a few interactive drinks. They change by the season but it was really fun to watch them come together. Very Instagram friendly. Service was spectacular. Our server was excellent. Provided details on the drinks, flavor profiles, ingredients. Etc. highly recommend.

First place I came after getting to Pittsburgh for a conference based on a quick search beforehand. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are absolute perfection! Plus great service from Andoni. If I ever come back to Pittsburgh this will be a must stop!

Very disappointing. Service was a mess and took forever. I made a reservation for dinner here one night. I love Bourbon so I always check out Bourbon bars when I travel. I was seated for over 20 minutes before wait staff brought a menu. I nearly went to the bar to order! He must have been new because he did not know about the menu and had to keep asking someone else. To drink I got the Bridges Smash. It was a heavy pour if you know what I mean, but a lot of crushed ice. It was refreshing. There were only 2 things on the menu according to the waiter that were gf. Jubilee Farms Filet of Tenderloin: It was a perfect cook for me: medium rare and on the rare side. Very salty though. It is very pricey but a good piece of meat. I forget what side it normally comes with but it has gluten in it so I had to order the other gf menu item: side of carrots (for an up charge!). Next time: I'll sit at the bar and just come for the drinks.

We were in Pittsburgh and decided to check out this place as it looked like a great cocktail place. We decided to get some food as well so it worked out. The atmosphere is a sophisticated look that is a blend between mid century modern and art deco. Interesting blend. Service was good, not amazing, but helpful to order our drinks. My partner had the Scarecrow cocktail which was served in a bird glass. It is a sweet cocktail with vanilla, pumpkin, cocoa, amount other stuff. She said it was great!! I went with Vogue which is a bourbon, vanilla and espresso drink. It was pretty good but seemed to lack bourbon. It was good but didn't have much alcohol in it unfortunately. We ended up ordering an apple/pear harvest salad and their Brie and fig grilled cheese. The salad was great and the veggies were crisp, dressing was lite and full of flavor...great choice for what we were looking for. The grilled cheese was good but sooo rich. We each had 1/4 of the sandwich and felt like it was enough. The concept is great but maybe it had too much Brie and/or fried with too much butter. A little more fig may help to balance out the dish. All in all worth visiting but I think some of the items could have been executed better.

Drinks were fantastic and had a nice selection! Didn't get a chance to try the food but will def be back.

This review is based on drinks only. My friend and I were unable to get a reservation, but with good timing we were able to get two seats at the (first come seating) bar. As we had only come in for a drink, this was perfect due to the phenomenal service of Shawn/Sean (I'm unsure of the spelling). Unless you are eating or have a big group, grab a bar seat. They seem to be known for their Insta worthy cocktails. They change it up seasonally, so some of the cocktails may have changed. They also, of course, have bourbon and bourbon flights. We tried a couple fun cocktails, and they were made well and did taste as good as they looked. The atmosphere is upscale, clean lines, nicely twinkly for holidays during our visit.

I've been trying to go here for ages. Finally got a reservation and it was industry night so 30 percent off yay! Gorgeous interior, loved the entire look. Felt high end without being snobby. Our cocktails were all amazing - I especially loved my firebird. Their food menu is very limited so we started with a charcuterie board - delicious but small. For dinner, I got the sage pesto pasta - very yummy and a little tangy which was interesting. My boyfriend got the smash burger...it was incredible! The fries were also delicious. The mushroom side - I gotta say I felt like I was chewing on those bouncy balls in the quarter machine. Wasn't a fan. Our server was sweet but did mess up a few things. We took it in stride since the rest of the evening was so nice. We look forward to going back for the burger and some *fire* drinks (pun intended).

My new favorite place in PIT. Excellent drinks. Excellent bartenders. Excellent servers. Excellent selection of bourbons. Excellent atmosphere. Did I mention it was an excellent experience? Seriously though, great staff, very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders work. Great way to learn about the process, bourbons and philosophy of life. I wear a kilt at home too occasionally ;) Cheers to the staff!

Came to celebrate my mother's birthday. Bridges and bourbon does not disappoint. Got the charcuterie board, lamb pops, seared crab cakes and seared scallops. And, of course, started with cocktails and ended with dessert. Everything was top notch. The scallops were AMAZING! And the drinks are soooo good. Definitely at the top of our list of favorite pittsburgh restaurants!

Bridges is such a nice place and I like the dimly lit atmosphere with open walls alongside the sidewalk that help get more air in. There is indoor and outside seating, only thing I was bummed of is kitchen closes a bit early so if you go late know that - I think it closed by 10pm so if you are a late goer it's no fun. Haha. All of the cocktail drinks range $13 up, beers less. Cocktails could seem pricey but they are generous with the alcohol where I felt a buzz after 2 cocktails (I'm not a lightweight!) and their aesthetic is part of the experience and price! The campfire drink pictured is a smokey smooth one and he lights the little campfire to add the flavor in front of you. The purple drink, I forget the name, is really cool as you put the "smokey test tube" color of yellow in the main purple class which I named "bill nye" so delicious and cool different set up. I really enjoyed this place and hope to try their food and other drinks in the future.

So here's my MO. I've a hard time making decisions. Whenever I go somewhere, I always ask for a recommendation. Drinks: something sweet and/or fruity. Food: what would you feed a hungry football player? Now that you know, we can continue our tipsy yelping. Shannon was our server. She recommended a few great things. She recommended the drunken warbler. Vanilla vodka, passion fruit, lime, and prosecco side car. It was rather sweet, but it definitely was delightful. The butterfly effect's vodka, grapefruit, ginger, rose water, citrus, was entertaining. It was also decent to enjoy. Jake was our bartender and he looked rather dapper. We enjoyed ourselves and had rather a bunch of drinks while we celebrated a birthday party. Our reservation was at 9:30pm and I wish we had arrived before with enough time to realize the 9:45pm deadline for the kitchen.

These cocktails are next level, you won't find anything like them in PGH. My cousin came into town for his birthday and this was my #1 stop for the weekend. They serve an elevated experience and if you're there for cocktails with a side of snacks, this is your stop. The Drunken Warbler was beautifully presented and such a fun cocktail to celebrate with! And of course, the bar itself is a gorgeous atmosphere. Always try your best to make a reservation, but it's worth the gamble if you aren't on their list.
