Oh. My. Goodness. The Pumpkin spice chai creme brulee was out of this world. My scallops were perfect. And they jumped through hoops to ensure my meal was gluten free. Great service & ambiance.

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.

My wife and I had several drinks there on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere was very chill but the drinks were top shelf. My wife went on and on about the blackberry smash and my smoked bourbon was fantastic. I highly recommend and would go back in a second.

The cutest spot with the coolest cocktails! the colors and presentations are incredible! AND they tasted great! I could have spent an entire evening there teying all of them!

So my opinion of Bridges and Bourbon upon my first experience led me back to the bar. I was initially impressed with the selection of fine Bourbons and the atmosphere was mostly friendly and pleasant. However, my most recent visit left me with dissatisfied. While the waitress/hostess couldn’t have been friendlier and was well tipped to say thank you for their excellent service, the bar as a whole was disappointing. I ordered Eagle Rare from the waitress and got Elijah Craig. When I pointed this out, the waitress asked the bar staff and they said, “oh, thought that’s what your note said and then she informed me the bartender didn’t have Eagle Rare”! How the hell do you not have Eagle Rare with Bourbon in your name? They also didn’t have Blantons, or any Buffalo Trace products that I could mention. However, if I ordered them I was afraid I might get something else, since I was never asked if the substitution was an acceptable one by the bartender before serving it! He just sat it on our table, announced it and walked away. The waitress rescued the situation by asking if I liked EC and I said it was fine. However, it was my last bourbon at B&B. I also observed them serving “trendy” drinks that gave off more of a flair than did satisfy a pallet for good liquor. If you are going to be “that” bar, then call yourself something else. Maybe Bridges and Booze.

I’ve been to Bridges & Bourbon several times, but my most recent experience was a true nosedive from my past. Despite making a reservation several weeks prior, when we arrived at our reservation time, there was no table available. We waited another 20 minutes after our reservation time to be seated at our table. When you make a reservation, you are asked if you or anyone in your party has any dietary restrictions. Not sure why they bother asking because I don’t think anyone looks at it. As a long time vegetarian, I was looking forward to trying the singular vegetarian entree on the menu. However, they were out. Ended up having to get two sides to have for my meal. The food was good and the staff were friendly but so disappointed in the management of this place. If you are going to allow people to make reservations, put time limits on the tables. Also, please consider getting rid of the stupid faucet/hand dryer combos in the bathrooms.

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.

Phenomenal. It's worth the visit. What a great way for a group of us to close out an amazing time in Pittsburgh. Everything was good. Ambience is amazing as well.

Two friends and I stopped by on a whim on a Friday after dinner and to our pleasant surprise we were able to get seats at the bar immediately. The inside is beautiful, especially the bar area. Our bartender was absolutely fantastic. She was so personable and funny and really engaging. Plus she made fantastic cocktails and concocted a couple on the menu! This place has really stepped up their cocktail game and I would go back!

Food and cocktails were amazing, and are why I'll go back. Solid, innovative tastes, and super reasonable pricing. And the only reason why this has three stars instead of one. From seating to *any* food appearing took close to an hour. I don't know if the kitchen was just having a bad night, but to be sitting with almost no updates until we started looking annoyed and flagged the server down was ridiculous -- and even then we still had to have them cancel the salads because there would be no time to eat both salad and entree before we absolutely had to be out. (And the server knew of our timeline when we sat down and said it would be easy to make.) I'll be back to give them one more chance, but for their sake, it's a good thing the quality of the food compensates for the kitchen's poor timing.

B&B brings a cozy ambiance great for a relaxing conversation with a nice drop of bourbon. The burrata was fresh and the bread chips were toasted to perfection (not too hard, fresh and lightly oiled). You will definitely enjoy the smash burger! Get a double and eat the first few bites with a fork! So good Parking on street is tricky so have a game plan for a nearby parking garage, I went to a PGH Parking Garage and it was $8 for the evening, easy.

This was my second time at Bridges & Bourbon (my first time was 3 years ago). Their cocktails are stunning! The bar is gorgeous! My fiancé and I walked in for drinks after going to a show at The Benedum on a Saturday night; it was 11 pm and we easily got seats at the bar. The staff were all very kind. We only got one drink each. I got the "Afternoon in Kyoto" under the craft cocktails list, which was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful! My fiancé got the "Millionaire" under the classic cocktails list, and he enjoyed it!

This place was on the walk back to our hotel from the Pirates game. We dove in on a whim and because we were craving steak. Ambience was good. Chill but not trashy, clean but not uppity. We got the angus tenderloin served with broccolini and an au poivre sauce, which is like a cherry brown gravy. Simply perfection. Service was great, nothing bad to say here. Enjoy!

OK, so initially we started off with like the Caesar salad and the mozzarella cheese thing it was a very basic nothing spectacular for entrées. We went ahead and got the burger. I will have to say was more decent. However, it's a Smashburger and it was basically burnt hard I didn't care for it and I wouldn't have it again from this place. but the only reason why I'm gave it 2 stars is because the waffle fries were absolutely delicious!!!! It's nothing like I've ever tasted before. it's like a spin with a little bit of sugar and some like honey drizzle it's weird but really good. The desserts were. big flop . they had some. I think it was like cinnamon cake look at the picture below Epic failure. But I will say out waitress was so nice and so she bought like the chocolate mousse and that was decent. It had cherries in it but honestly, I would only come back here to get the waffle fries.

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.

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.

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.

Simply the best place for raw oysters in all of Pittsburgh, and we have been trying them all. My lady and I have quickly learned that west coast oysters are more meaty and tasty. More expensive too but soooo worth it. Ernest, the barman, brags about making the best Old Fashions period. We took the challenge and lost. Yes, Ernest does, in fact, make the best old fashions we've ever had. And it's quite a show watching him make each one. We have become regulars here. So don't steal our seats at the bar :-)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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!

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.
