Review Down There Bar & Grill - Pittsburgh

I am not sure where to start here or the Pizza Place a Couple doors down that led me to the "Down There Bar and Grill". The name has significance as I did not suspect that I would find such a Jem "Down There". The entrance way stairs seem daunting as it is located in the basement. The service was more than worth the effort of traversing the stairs. I made my way down the on the 12 of Oct 2023 I had just arrived in town (early) to see Atlus at the Crafthouse across the street. To my surprise the place was well lit with a with a little imagination you are very likely to forgot you are in a basement. I met Abby, she was serving the evening I arrived and quickly came oposite to where I had found a place at the bar.. it was not very crowded and thankfully that time of the day I would hope that folks were still at work. Although there were other customers in the bar, I might add much much more younger and equally more local. None the less Abby afford more than ample attention and at one point I may have monopolized her time. See was a very good listener.. you see my disability can make social interact awkward but it clicked with Abbey I told what I was looking for (something in a tall glass that can be enjoyed for a long time, but nothing too fruit. Well I am going to call the drink Abby made for me an Abby" Captain Orange and Ginger Ale. It really hit the spot. Looking back it might have been her very warm beautiful smile that made that place seem not so "basementy". I had the Cheesesteak Sandwich with fries and it was the bomb. I live within 45 minutes from philly and those Tony's, and Lucas's can't touch Ben's Cheese Steak and Fries period.

Love Trista! And I love how friendly all staff are. Need to return soon because I miss the place—and they’re the reason why :)

Amazingly welcoming staff. There are a lot of places that offer the "Pittsburgh Sandwich ". This place elevates it to an art form. Everything else was great as well. Highly recommend this little gem.

Great neighborhood bar, with delicious food and drinks with reasonable prices. Fun atmosphere and you won't want to miss bingo night!

What a great escape from my day-to-day. The bar is spacious so you aren't being bumped into. the food pricing is average while the taste is above average so you're getting your monies worth. The Bartenders [3] were friendly & funny with their individual personalities. They were extremely attentive in serving everyone and checking on you. What was ment for an hour stay for a drink turned into being there from 9pm until closing at 2am because of the amazing energy of the bar and their entertainment brought to you by Frogstar Karaoke 🎤. The entire bar was out of their seats and up on stag singing "Country Road." and other song varieties. It was a complete 180 spin from the bleak mood of city life and society. As soon as you walk down the steps like Alice in Wonderland and open the doors, you are transported to a new world! The crowd was filled with a mixed bunch and very handsome gentlemen of all ages. From Sugar babies to Sugar Daddies types. I discovered an accidental blessing hiding in the basement of a strip mall center in White Hall

Absolutely awesome food was fantastic and the bartender even BETTER

Nice staff, good food, and decent prices! What more could you want from a chill bar? Bartender was attentive and friendly. Food was good, didnt get much so cant say much. Atmosphere was very chill and relaxing!

Great food specials and the food is great. Nice place to stop by your self for a bite to eat or hang out with your friends. Enjoy a game of darts or a round of video golf. Drink special ever day. Stop by have some food and drink and tell them James' dad sent you.

Food is AWESOME. Owners are super friendly. Great place to watch the game with tons of TVs. New owners did a great job with updating everything and has gone non-smoking. Now open on Sundays! If your looking for a new hangout, this is definitely the place to go.

Amazing and welcoming staff. Maggie is the best including other staff.

Great local bar! We always have a good time when we go. Great beer specials and delicious food. The waitstaff and bartenders are friendly. The owners are almost always there, and are very helpful.

What a BIG change in a good way! Love that it’s no smoking. Updates are coming along and it looks great so far. New owners are super friendly and the atmosphere has a younger, more lively feel. 😊

Great food, drinks and fun atmosphere

Great food as always.

Food is good. A little better then your average bar food. Staffs are wonderful we got served right away. Bar is clean. They greet you when you come in.

Amazing food, great prices, awesome service and staff. This is my new go to place every Thursday and some Tuesdays. Suicide wing sauce is awesome too!! Highly recommend this bar and grill.

A great time as always. Friendly, wonderful, accommodating bar bartenders and a fun atmosphere!

It's a good restaurant but a little creepy for us old people. We were the only ones talking, the other six patrons and the owner we're all hunched over their phones.

Friendly atmosphere. Great beer selection. The chicken wrap was delicious!!!
