Best Historic Restaurants in South Side

If you are looking for a true hug this is your spot. What a surprise as you walk into the gorgeous bar and then to the back of the restaurant where you are transported to a lodge, cabin, a time travel where pubs began? The immense drink menu had us gobsmacked at the banana old fashioned and festive cocktails, but vinos on tap? Pierogis were legit homemade and the bison meatloaf was a chef kiss and the hug you need on a cold night. Dessert was a true treat and the French press was smooth and delicious.

Great New Year’s dinner experience! The special menu was fairly priced and the food was very good! We had some great cocktails too. I especially liked the key lime pie! The server was beyond excellent! He went above & beyond in making sure we enjoyed everything and took some amazing pictures of us on the staircase.

I always enjoy a stop in at bonfire! The menu is always changing with interesting culinary ideas that rarely disappoint. I think it's one of the most underrated restaurants in Pittsburgh! 

Decorated lovely for the holidays, food was delicious. Service was good.

To be honest. It was the only place that I could get a reservation for six in at the last minute. They did accommodate us well. When I did arrive, the place does have an old musty smell. It was virtually empty with only a few tables seated on a Saturday night at 7 PM. The waiter that took our order was a tentative. Our chef was very good as well. Unfortunately, I left there, and I was still hungry after getting the imperial twin New York strip steaks. in a pinch again, I surely would go. But it would not be my first choice.
