The Warren Bar & Burrow

Hands down the best Old Fashioned and Sushi I’ve had in a long time. The double patty Bison burger was everything and more. It may have been my first time there, but it will not be my last!

We really enjoyed our time at The Warren! It was a little hard to find, being from out of town, as the signage was not super prominent. But once inside, we could understand why this place has a good reputation. The menu here is out of this world tasty. The Chicken Katsu Sammi is a MUST- we also ordered the Crab Rangoon Dip which was so yummy, and the sushi was also a banger. The Steak and Cheese was decent; for us, it could have used a sauce or more cheese, but I can appreciate there being an option for people whose palettes are overwhelmed by bolder flavors. Our server, Ellie, was so lovely and gave us some stellar recs across our meal. Overall, giving this a 5 for the food and vibes. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Pitt.

The warren is a shining star in Pittsburgh. We went after a recommendation, and immediately went the next day again. First off, it is 100% true they have the best old fashioned in the nation, as stated by the WSJ. Cocktails, sliders, sushi, and flatbreads. That's what they got at the Warren, and they it all so deliciously well! We are so thankful we went, and everyone we referred to go there, also had an awesome experience as well! If you are at an event at the Heinz Hall, it is an easy walk to the Warren!

Excellent food. I don’t personally like American food and always skeptical about sandwiches but the chicken katsu was really well made. The chicken is fried with a good crunch but the meat inside is still moist and melted in your mouth, they have a sunny side up egg, made the sandwich even more juicy. The tater tots were good as well. I had the Benny Roll, and oh my the salmon was torched on top of the roll filled with tempura shrimp and avocado, melted in my mouth as well. All combined with eel sauce and sriracha makes it flavor enough for a roll but not overwhelming the filling is really well made too. We shared a Caprese flatbread, the garlic oil was juicy combined with the mozzarella and fresh tomato makes it very good and the base bread I don’t know where did they source it from but it was very crunchy and matched perfectly with the toppings on top. Overall, very good experience on food, our server brought the food out very quick as well. It was a very busy Sunday after the game, concert and games and all that, but they managed to up keep the guest experience so very good place to eat.

very crowded on a sat night but still has fast service. Sushi and wings were only okay and portions were small for the price, but drinks were very reasonably priced, nice place to hang out with a group downtown.

Always a good time at The Warren Bar and Burrow. Great whiskey selection at a great price. I've only had the sushi there and that was good

Couldn't believe the menu in that place. Had so much variety to choose from. I settled for some sushi that night. The sushi was satisfying. Had a few drinks but have forgotten the names because I was enjoying myself so much.

Great food and lovely service from the staff. There's a nice initial room, and then there is a secondary room too (though it was a little chilly in winter). Great sushi, great cocktails, great burgers and sandwiches, etc.

The Warren is a terrific downtown spot. The bartenders are really friendly and know their mixology. The sushi is outstanding!

The Warren is literally my favorite place to pop into in Downtown Pittsburgh. Open late, great vibes, and a hell of an awesome bar staff. Whenever I tell people that it's basically a pub with great sushi they are truly befuddled but everything here works (and is extremely delicious) I've had numerous things from the menu but I always go back to the steak sandwich. There are a few staple drinks but I love to have a bar tender make whatever they're feeling. I've had some fun nights with complete strangers while watching Pen's games. This is the place to be.

Total locals bar. Didn't eat but had some drinks. Service was fast. Menu sort of weird. Sushi and flatbreads . Felt like we actually annoyed the bartender for a drink .

The Warren is one of my favorite spots downtown. It's a lively cocktail bar with great food. It gets very packed, especially when there's shows at the Benedum. We were able to get 2 spots at the bar and the bartender was very friendly. My husband had a great G&T and I had a delicious ginger mocktail. My husband ordered the steak sandwich which is always delicious. I ordered sushi & sweet potato tots (my favorite). Definitely check this spot out!

I visited The Warren while in town for the Pens-Kings game, I am a Kings fan from LA. A friend in LA that is originally from Pittsburgh texted me, "Go to the Warren in downtown town and ask for Talishia." "Tell her you know Butchy." So, that is what I did. This place offers an extensive selection of bourbon. I had two mini-bottles of High Life and shots of 1792 Full Proof. Prices were reasonable. Service was great We also had sushi. The fish was fresh and tasty. It was a nice surprise. I think the rolls were called Justin Time and Don't Touch Chris. Apparently Chris is allergic to what is in that roll. The Warren delivers a strong whiskey selection and reliable food at a fair price point. The place served its purpose well during a game-day visit. I am glad I went.

This is a great bar in downtown Pittsburgh, especially if you're a whiskey lover. Even if you're not, there's a decent menu of cocktails! The boo berry daiquiri was delicious! A bit sweet for me, but still made really well. The 7th street corn dip was really delicious!! I could eat that as my entire meal if I had to. But the caprese and tomato basil flatbreads were delicious! The caprese was my favorite of the two, as it tasted very fresh. The tomato basil was a little too cheesy for me.

I visited The Warren for the first time last weekend before going to a show at The Benedum! We got there around 5:30 pm and it was packed so we had to sit at the tables on the sidewalk. Not long after we ordered our first round of drinks, a massive group left so we ran inside and snagged seats at the bar! Here's everything we got: -Passion for Pittsburgh - a vodka-based passionfruit cocktail -Fred's Old Fashioned (my fiancé's drink) -Aviation cocktail -an incredible off-menu creation made with Gin, muddled peach, lillet, and basil (the bartender said he used to serve this drink all the time 20 years ago) -Steak & cheese sandwich + fries (we split this and it was the perfect amount of food for both of us) -my fiancé also got the Peach Thief cocktail, which you can see in the picture of the sandwich Everything was delicious! The bartender was super cool. The food came out fast. Will definitely go back, and would love to try the sushi next time! Also loved the aesthetic of the bar the perfect pre-show spot!

Amazing service, Amazing drinks, Amazing food. The vibes were great, decor was spot on. I have nothing bad to say about this place. 10/10 will go again and can't recommend enough. Im so glad I found this spot because I love sushi and my boyfriend does NOT and now we can both have what we want :)

The Warren Bar and Burrow is a truly unique spot. While it is primarily a dive bar, with all the trappings of a dive bar on the right side, it also includes a beautifully decorated Japanese themed room off to the left. This dynamic is also reflected in the menu, with Japanese whiskey spotlighted, as well as an extensive sushi menu to go along with burgers and fish and chips. Amazingly, the sushi was top notch, as well as the aforementioned fish and chips. I however would not recommend the Chicken Katsu, as it wasn't spiced well. One last thing to note is that the tots are sweet potatoes, and while I usually love sweet potatoes these were odd and mushy. I asked if they had whipped butter to help, but they did not. The server did offer to replace them with standard french fries, which I was very appreciative of. As for drinks, I highly recommend their Old Fashioned. I've tried others on the cocktail menu and they are hit or miss, but the OF is a solid choice.

It's a nice local bar that serves a variety of food, including sushi. I was there to have dinner after the conference. I had fish and chips with an Old Fashioned, which was nice. The bartenders are very Pittsburgh, and the ambiance was nice.

We've been to The Warren a handful of times now and never been disappointed. For a bar, they have great sushi. The other food and cocktails have also always been great. They do not take reservations and seating can be limited. They have some covered seating outside, weather permitting. Go early to grab a seat at the bar. Perfect place to grab drinks and a bite to eat before a show downtown. The servers have always been great and the service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

I had always heard great things about this bar, so I had to check it out myself. My friend and I met for a drink on a Sunday night...and ended up staying 7 hours. Everything was great. Music was awesome, it was packed with people fresh from the Steelers game, the drinks were amazing, and the bartender was hilarious and awesome all around. After 7 hours and over 20 cocktails & beers later, our tab only came to a little over $200. Aka prices are great. This place has it all. I can't wait to go back.

I have been to this place a couple times. Sometimes during the day for lunch and dinner or late at night for a drink at the bar. It's a nice spot to hangout with friends and grab a good drink

Three of us stopped by 6:30pm on a Tuesday and were able to get seats at the bar immediately. The inside is a bit on the dim side and it's usually packed. We ordered drinks and sushi and everything came out pretty quickly. My shrimp tempura roll was pretty good and my friends' sushi and wings looked good as well. I love that the cocktails here are always delicious and reasonably priced. It's a favorite of many for a reason!

Literally my favorite bar in Pittsburgh. I've lived in Pitt for 18 months and coming from NYC, the bar scene has been extremely disappointing here. The Warren is the only place that satisfies my late night bar needs. There's always a decent amount of people at the bar no matter what day of the week. And unlike other bars in Pittsburgh, they play more than just the Steelers games. One of my favorite things about this place is their cocktail and food menu. Pretty difficult to find a place that serves food as late as them on a Tuesday night. And the menu is so eccentric. Everything from the sushi to the burgers are delicious. The cocktail menu is constantly changing and is well priced. Haven't had a bad cocktail here. Service here is always fantastic. All the bartenders are super nice and attentive. I like going to bars by myself and the environment they create makes this very welcoming. If you're looking for a place to have a drink after a hockey game or a concert, there's no other choice

Great drink selection. Wings were excellent. Service was very good and the ambiance is cool. Place is worth it.

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Corner bar, seemed fairly busy, as the Pirates had finished up shortly before we arrived and Duquesne students just finished graduating, but we were able to find a seat immediately. Waitress brought us water right away, and gave us time to scan the QR codes to look at the menus. Bar was playing 80s and 90s and early 2000s rock the whole time and the crowd was digging it, myself included. We ordered a burger and chicken sandwich, and a simple Modelo. I was a bit surprised that the beer came in a can, but it worked just fine-it is a bar, after all. Food came out after a short wait and everything was good-seems like a solid spot and would surely return in the future.

My husband and I have been here several times and it is always a good experience. At first glance, it may seem like a dark dive bar, bit that's the charm of it! The service is always wonderful whether you are just there for drinks or food or both. We were there the other night for dinner before a concert. It was a Tuesday and it was pretty busy, but we still had a good experience just like when we have been there in less busy times. We ordered several sushi rolls and they were great quality. They have a lomg list of sushi and many other things to choose from. They also have a seasonal cocktail list that is always delicious. My husband ordered one of the seasonal old fashioneds and it was a good balance of fall and citrus. I'd highly recommend this place. It's cozy, comfortable, and delicious!

We walked here from our hotel. Pretty crowded. Michael was a fantastic bartender. Background music was great. We weren't too hungry but the sushi and wings our neighbors got looked great. We will definitely go back. We met some nice people and it had a great vibe. Only negative was bathroom closest to the exit. (There are two). It was super nasty. Like someone from The Boyz had just used it. The other bathroom was much better. Not flooded and had a urinal and toilet.

What can I say??? This place is and should be voted best bar in town!! The bartenders were fantastic and the drinks they created all were too pretty to drink but when you did try them they were perfectly proportioned with all the liquor and juices. Not too overpowering. The crowd there was great! Everyone were all in great spirits which made it such a great time by everyone. The place was packed! As it should have been!! The owner Spencer even made a guest appearance. What a guy!! He's got my vote!!

Perfection. We love a good dive bar with something other than just burgers and The Warren absolutely delivered. Awesome food served late, great cocktails and perfect casual vibes.

Ok, so dont knock it til you try it. I know people have comments about the sushi being mixed in to a "regular" menu.....Im telling you, everything they do here, they do it well! It gives various tastes options to agree on. It allows friends who have different cravings to land on one place and drink and enjoy all their cravings being fulfilled. So on our visit, we tried a mixture of things. Sushi-Nigiri. An order of Tuna Nigiri, and an order of Salmon Nigiri, super fresh, super delicious and their Wasabi was ON POINT!!! I've eaten at full Japanese sushi restaurants that didnt have as good of a wasabi!. If I had any critique, maybe it would be less sushi rice, but again, super delicious. We had the wings- Delicious. Cooked extremely well and super flavorful. The bison burger- Really delicious. The meat was super flavorful with just the right accompanying ingredients that marries super well making this a definite must order! The shaved ribeye "cheesesteak" hoagie was really flavorful and we asked for some fresh jalapeños and it really shot it up next level. I dare say this. But I preferred this steak sandwich over the primanti bros one. (I know ,I know.....). Thw fries were really good. Well seasoned and cooked crispy. All of our drinks were great. I explored some martinis......the rest of us ordered beers on draft and was iced cold and crisp. The service was so great. She offered so mamy suggestions. When back in town, we will definitely be back! Pricing is super good, especially for all the top quality boxes checked here. Delicious food- Check Friendly service-Check Ease of entering and ordering and feeling comfortable- Check Cost -again- big check!!!!! You wont be disappointed. Don't pass here to go to meat and potatoes. Stop here instead. Trust me.

This bar is great option for groups who want can't agree of the same kind of food. Some of us wanted sushi and one of us didn't but that was no problem! The food was yummy and the drinks were delicious. They had good music. Our server was great; super helpful, gave lots of good suggestions. This bar is definitely worth coming back to!

if you're visiting go here for a fun time and authentic experience. the food and drinks were great and the people were very friendly and fun to talk with! the bartender was a legend, so cool. overall going here was one of the highlights of my trip, such a fun vibe.

Came in, pounded some drinks with Michael, talked smack about the people that didn't come out with us. Ate a really great burger. Stumbled back to my tour bus. I'll be back for that amazing ambience.

Great place! One of the few open late (2am) major plus! Excellent drinks and cocktails. The food looked great too, but we only had drinks.. Service is flawless. If anything inside booths are a bit uncomfortable or restrained ( bumping knees, lol). But outside seating or inside standing is great. This is a small, cozy, welcoming bar with great music and a guaranteed good time.

Such an amazing fun vibe at this bar. The bartender was super friendly, and the music was awesome!! I don't recommend ordering a martini, but the old fashioned was good. We had the crab dip which looked good but had imitation crab. The beef and cheddar was not bad and came with yummy sweet potato tots. Next time, I would order some greasy bar food. Don't recommend seafood there, but everything else about the bar was great!!

It's hard to find anywhere downtown that serves late. But the Warren does. I've only had drinks, but others in my party have ordered food while we've visited. Cool vibe, as well. Close to Heinz Hall, Benedum and Byham theaters.

Real talk: I went on a date here with a funny, witty, beautiful person...we talked for hours and never got bored, it was intoxicating. I'm not tryna brag, I'm just tryna keep it real. It's pretty much impossible for me to be unbiased in reviewing this local watering hole. This place is maybe the fanciest you can go and still call yourself a "dive bar". While it does have cheap 'n crispy brews like IC Light...it also has delightfully bougie cocktails, including my favorite cocktail of all time: penicillin. Of which I drank many! The bar was rowdy and bustlin' but the drinks just kept comin'. It was light when I stepped in here, and dark when I came out. I hope you have half as good of a time as I had here, dear reader.

This place was fun. This was close to our hotel and recommended by a friend. I loved everything I ordered. My drink was delicious and I hadn't seen it anywhere else. The crab rangoon dip was so good, also a nice spin on my favorite Asian appetizer. I also got a salad which was huge. It had French fries on it which I had never tried before. I'd definitely order it again. We had average service wait time, but our waitress was super nice.

Came here around 7:15ish with a total party of four and we were able to get a booth for some pre dinner drinks. The drinks were solid and wish we could've stayed longer, but we had a reservation to catch! Only concern was that the service was a little slow and after our first round, it was hard grabbing the attention of a waitress to start our second.

This was my first time at The Warren Bar and Burrow. I've walked past them a number of times and always just thought they were a bar. I recently heard they have really good sushi so I obviously had to give them a try! They are pretty small and don't take reservations so it can be tricky to find a seat. I would recommend having a back up plan if you get there and there's no room. We ordered Dirty Martini and Vitamin Bee cocktail, Cheese Fries, and Avocado Roll. The dirty martini was delicious! They put so much olive juice in it :) The cheese fries were spectacular!! They used smoked gouda cheese and wow that was a game changer. All cheese fries should be made with gouda. The avocado roll was so yummy, the rice tasted so clean idk how to describe it hahaha. I would definitely get food here again. I would probably just do takeout though because the seating situation stressed me out. Also the inside just looks like a normal bar.

This was 5 stars for what it was. We immediately were greeted, the guy at the door was nice and honest (food is decent for late night when you want to sit down). The place was hoppin but we managed a booth inbetween their outside and inside portion. Our server was very attentive and super sweet. We did a local beer and a cocktail. Both good portions and ice cold. We started with the gyoza appetizer, it was good and hot but they drizzled the sauce on top instead of putting on the side which was fine but they could have used a little more. We split the cheesesteak and the pepperoni flatbread pizza for dinner. The pizza was super hot and cheesy and a huge portion. The cheesesteak was also a huge portion and admittedly quite tasty. Would this be my first choice for dinner earlier in the evening, no. However it was after 10, most places were closed and this perfectly fit what we needed. Most people were out in groups or dates drinking and the prices were good on all the drinks. A few people peered over to see what our food looked like and started ordering, so I decided that was prob a good thing.

Awesome cocktails-had the spritz sparkly citrus-cocktail main drink in Swiss when I was there in Oct 23, bar food too & sushi, hello? Had the Benny Roll and Eel Maki Roll they were ok. Friends ordered other bat foods and cocktails and a bottle of wine made our dive amazing! Staff was friendly, bar vibe ambiance with lots of young hip & cool mix! Nice dive for sure!

This place should be on Triple D's. Very cool spot for amazing food and cocktails. Where can you get fresh sushi, buffalo wings, fried zucchini sticks, and great cocktails. You can here. This bar had a great vibe and great service.

This is one of my go-to spots when I'm downtown near the cultural district. I just love the variety of food and cocktails that they offer, there's really something for everyone. The vibe inside is great and I really enjoy the outdoor seating on a warm night. Service is also pretty quick even on a busy night!

I've only gotten sushi takeout multiple times from The Warren, and loved every bite of it! Initially, I thought the menu combinations were random, but don't let that sway you from trying their food! The sushi is so fresh, delicious and a decent portion for the price! I typically call the restaurant to order and they've been speedy and have my food ready for pick up as soon as I come. Can't wait to try the restaurant in person!

Warren remains a cool spot for after dinner cocktails if you find yourself downtown for an evening! We lucked out being able to get a table right away (it's not a large space), and our waitress was quickly with us. My cocktail (cosmic love) was yummy, albeit nothing special. My only complaint is that the menu doesn't say what liquor base is actually used in nearly any of the cocktails, so you can't really make a drink choice until the waiter is at your table & you can ask questions. I think this effort to be cool actually works against the location. I wish they put a little more effort into the ambiance to fit the vibe of the menu - the bar is pretty plain. It will remain on my list of good cocktail bars, though! Food: N/A Drinks: B Service: B Ambiance: C

If you live in Pittsburgh this place isn't a secret but it feels like it when you first walk in. Drinks are always amazing, the food is great. And the people here are even better than that. The vibe is perfect. Very clean and well maintained inside. I usually get sushi of some kind. Have had the pizza here before. Very good. Their whisky selection is excellent. All the bartenders are good. Very partial to Bartender Mike's Sazerac.

Server Angela was an absolute rockstar! Thank you! We came and the food, vibe and drinks were exactly what we needed to close out our downtown late night tour! We stopped in close to kitchen closing time and they were super accommodating and allowed us to place our orders and the food was not bad. We ordered an array of a few food and drink options that satisfied the late night bite. We selected seats near the inside but near the street on a Friday night and had great conversation and enjoyed the music and night breeze. We ordered wings, crab dip, fries, tots and drinks.

My bf and I were visiting some fam in Pittsburgh this past weekend and stopped in here before a Pirates game. It's conveniently located a short walk from the stadiums. Very chill environment - we were warmly welcomed even though I was decked out in the opposing team's gear. Great food, strong drinks, and amazing service from bartender Mike. I only got a photo of the shrimp tacos, but we also tried the Cubano egg rolls (SO GOOD!!). Looking forward to returning next time we're in town!

Can't stop and won't stop going to the Warren. Some of the BEST sushi in Pittsburgh along with everything else they have. Amazing mixologists and everyone is always smiling. How can't you? It's the Warren! Thanks for existing with one of the best vibes around!

Not what I expected based on reviews; might be better at night. I loved the vibe of the place once I got there. It is something like dive bar meets 80s pre-grunge. Music selection: Sledgehammer, Eminent Front, Higher Love - essentially, I fit in great with my Jean jacket and black jeans I went here for lunch on weekday while I was walking around town. They were fairly empty. Iced Irish coffee: way bigger than I anticipated, very bitter, on the stiff side. I did not drink most of it. Pretty Girl Roll: large blob of spicy mayo in top. Lots of salmon, thinly sliced avocado. Lots of rice. Veggie Maki Roll: Lots of rice. No pickled veggies but good texture combos. They do have gluten-free soy sauce, just ask for it! Next time: I'll try coming at night for drinks.

Super interesting menu that was well executed. Loved trying every dish as it has tons of flavor and unique flavor specifically he holiday pizza. Absolutely delicious! It really tasted like Christmas Would love to come back and try the sushi. Great service the entire time and outdoor area has heat lamps keeping it warm.

We had a huge group come in for a friend's birthday and Jenna was so amazing and helped us the whole time!!! She was patient and split checks and overall awesome. Food was awesome and drinks were great too. Definitely recommend this spot for a chill drink and bite.

My friends and I sat outside at this seat yourself location and I got the sunshine roll and Boston roll. They were good rolls but the rice to filling ratio was a little off as I felt like they had too much rice!

So much that could be said but to wrap it up - all the perks of a high end bar with the comfort of a dive bar All the food they service is good! Sushi was worth ordering. Pao buns, a yes. You won't have any regrets eating here. Shoutout Scotty for being a great bartender and having a solid staff with you. Full selection of whiskey for those that enjoy it! All juice was pressed by them. Loved it in my tomato juice & vodka

This time I had the chance to come back to this restaurant and even though my first experience was better, this time was pleasant. The drinks are different, they taste good but I think had change in flavor in the last 2 years. This time we had sushi and nigiri, they were actually pretty good, flavorful and well presented. The attention has decline for sure. But you can give it a try if you are spending a weekend in Pittsburg.

The perfect place to celebrate a birthday! the vibes and music are good, the food and drinks are great, and our server Jenna was beyond amazing! Everything came out super fast despite it being busy. We had the best time here! They really went above and beyond for us and I can't thank them enough! Definitely stop by this place. You'll have a good time no doubt.
