Food was subpar but service is terrible, as a first time customer. Maybe the regulars are aware of the pay before service but that wasn't explained to me & my family. The Mahi Mahi tacos were overcooked and chared as well as undersized portion, basically one fillet chopped up to spread over 3 taco shells. The bartender asked me to pay the bill by yelling it across the room at me. Then proceded to further address payment after Id already submitted it thru their QR code located on receipt. Her explaination as to why she kept harassing us was...people don't typically use the QR code. Smh!!! No apology. No greeting upon entry to explain their service style and bad food. ?. NEVER AGAIN!!!

The bathrooms over flowed and made the whole place smell like sewage. We just payed a cover charge to get in. After speaking to a couple of other customers this seems to be a common occurrence.

We had a good time. We happened to stroll in for a drink during Oscar Bingo which was hilarious. The bartender was really knowledgeable and attentive. We got a reasonably priced beer that exceeded my expectations. The Chocolate Chip Cookie stout smells just like the name. I would definitely check this place and it's massive beer list out again.

The bouncer was not readily visible when I walked in, and imagine my surprise when I was arm-barred and pushed back to the door. He then made a comment about how I needed to "hit the gym." A friend showed up a few minutes later and the same thing happened to him. I felt very unwelcome and violated. There was no reason to touch me. I will not be going there again.

The Drag Brunch event was wonderful! All of the performers were incredibly talented, friendly, funny, personable. I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer!

Loaded fries are legit.

Truly one of the most underwhelming, disappointing places in Pittsburgh.We ended up here for trivia with out of state visitors who wanted to see Lawrenceville. I would of preferred anywhere else. There is no table service, so if you want in and sit down no one tells you you have to order at the bar. There is also only one bartender.The trivia was a joke, I’ve been doing trivia for over 8 years and this was not even trivia. It was super obscure questions in no category that no one knew the answers of. Also every answer had to be written on paper and turned into the host so you can imagine how long it took. The group that won clearly knew the host for the event.Once you get to the bar, the bartender didn’t really seem to enjoy what she’s doing. There’s a sign on the wall that says “shots” and “bartenders choice” so I asked her what the shot was, she said “idk whatever I feel like making” and proceeded to not give me an answer. We ordered 2 key lime pie shots that tasted like straight sours and a Maple Old Fashioned that was not maple at all, just whiskey with a cinnamon stick in it.The food was truly disappointing, we ordered the Bison sliders and the Gnocchi Tots. The Bison Sliders were pricy at $16 and tasteless, the Gnocchi Tots were in a side bowl for $10 it was so small it couldn’t even be an appetizer. They were also so spicy they were INEDIBLE. We are a table that likes spicy food, but they took whole peppers, sliced them and put them in the sauce seeds and all. Truly not a good experience.

Drag bruch was amazing! I would highly recommend!!

Went for the nightlife. Thursday was karaoke - great vibes and decently priced drinks
