Best Cocktail Bars in Highland Park

The atmosphere is lively and fun. The food was delicious! You order using a CR code and a server brings it to your table, which is not my favorite way of dining, but the order was correct and the servers were very good. The wine list is extensive, but we ordered draft beers, which were very good. We ordered a garlic-tomato-shrimp appetizer, brussels sprouts, broccolini, and the Chilean sea bass and risotto special. It all arrived at once, so next time we would probably space out our order to have it come in stages. Each food item was exceptionally good, all appropriately hot temperature and very flavorful. The brussels sprouts were a favorite; really crispy and excellent. Would definitely come back.

A neighborhood favorite that always delivers. We prefer it to other places that can be really noisy. The high tops are cozy, the service is great, and the food is excellent. Also, they have an extensive collection of tequila, bourbon, and scotch.

We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time, but it allowed us time to experience the great bar, drink selections and “top shelf” bartenders-particularly Bradley Zimmerman (lead bartender)- who made us Benton old fashions, spicy margaritas and Fallen Apple martinis. All were outstanding! Dinner was amazing, in part due to our very personable and fantastic waitress Kendall. Can’t say enough of this young lady. Very attentive although it was busy. She was knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us to our delicious selections- crab cakes, Caesar salads, Filet Thermidor and Chicken Rosé. Kudos to the kitchen! Mad props to this staff who made this Valentine Day experience one of the best ever! We will be back AND bringing friends every chance we get.

Yuzu is always a 10/10 experience every time I dine. I've never been disappointed by anything on the menu. Add a 30 minute egg to your ramen if it doesn't come with - you won't regret it! The vibes are pristine, and the service is always friendly and genuine. Amazing bar program as well. It will always be one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh!

I had a business dinner at Butterjoint last evening and the food and service continue to be excellent. Lola is a great server and is very attentive. It's a great location for a business or personal dining experience.
