Tina's — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I wish I had higher praise for this bar, because I had heard good things from others before coming. Our experience was marred by a few factors. First was a panhandler right outside the door-I'm sympathetic to the unhomed, but it wasn't an appropriate time or place and the staff did nothing about it during the duration of our visit. Next, the bar's acoustics were off- the music cut out partway through our time there and never came back on, which really sucked some of the wind out of the atmosphere of sitting at the bar. With only loud conversation surrounding us, it felt closer to sitting at a cafeteria. Finally, it took a decent bit to get served by our bartenders, but at least my drink was interesting. I forget exactly what it was, but I think it was some smoked cocktail that at least had a visually appealing element in its preparation if not particularly the taste. I'd like to give the place a second chance but I'm not particularly in a hurry...

A bar that simply cares. From listing the origin of the various cocktails, to the variety of the liquers that are the stars of each drink,this place truly has something to offer for everyone from all walks of life. Cocktails range from less than 10 years to over 120 years old, and countries across the world. This is a curated collection that's served with honor and care. I highly recommend a visit, and if you're not sure where to venture, ask the very knowledgeable staff. Thanks again for the experience, we will definitely be back...

A rare find. A really cool neighborhood bar. I loved their menu of imported fish conservas. High-quality and delicious. Had a couple of these and a beer. Will eat through that list. Enjoyed my conversation with the bartender. People rave about the cocktails. Next time. The place looks great: cozy and welcoming. An interesting selection of wine and books in the back. Doesn’t look like much from the outside and parking can be challenging but definitely worth it. So many bars and restaurants are cookie-cutter. This place is...
