Reviews for The Urban Tap in Pittsburgh, PA
Came here for drinks only, but would really want to try their foods and sides one day. One thing I really like is the variety of... beers they have on tap. Combined with the big spaces and outdoor seating, I’d recommend this place for big or small groupswanting to chill and socialize. Read more
The atmosphere was nice! They greeted & seated us upon arrival. Our waitress was very attentive. Our brunch was AMAZING!! I got... the shrimp & grits & my husband got chicken & waffles, as well as French toast. We also got the mimosa flights. Everything wasso good! I can't wait to go back to try their lunch & dinner options. Read more
I'm a bit split on my opinion with the food. The white mussels were overall, not very good. They were chewy, tasted fishy, and I... don't think they were washed properly as there was always something hard and crunchy inside every mussel. Now the dish also camewith toasted slices of baguette. Dipping the bread in the white sauce was quite tasty. The sauce did have a lot of nearly rawred onions in it and I don't get that at all. Why aren't the onions cooked more? Anyway, the sauce was good, but definitely abig problem with the mussels. Overall, I was disappointed. Now the poutine. What is the right way to make poutine? Is there aright way? It's not done Canadian style with thick gravy and small, unmelted cheese curds. It's got a very thin gravy and it'sprimarily from the meat, which by the way, is absolutely excellent pulled beef. The fries are crunchy and delicious. Overall,great comfort food and it's a large portion. The poutine would have been perfect except for one thing: it has a fried egg ontop. Why? WHY? Why is there an egg? Is it to dress up the unappealing look of the pulled beef? Without the egg, it really doeslook unappetizing. I mean, it still tastes great, but it doesn't look good for the 'Gram without the egg. But the egg addsnothing except aesthetics. Either the egg walks or I do. Just mix the pulled beef into the fresh and sprinkle cheese on top.Ditch. The. Egg. The beer selection is... large. Huge, in fact. You can only find more beer options at a distributor. SouthernTeir White Chocolate Stout, thank me later. The service was great, but maybe a bit too high energy for me on that night. Still,if you're partying and getting blitz, I'm sure that energy is a big plus. I like the mood inside but I don't get the style.It's just disjointed in appearance. Read more
A nice place for drinks and some food, but is usually decently busy. Good vibes/atmosphere. The cocktails are amazing. The... picture is of the lavender coconut mojito, which was extremely delicious. There isn't a huge variety of food, but for this kindof bar/food place, that's okay. The food that is there is good, especially the General Tso's cauliflower. Read more
Went to Urban Tap this past weekend to celebrate my sister in laws 21st birthday. The waitress was more than friendly and... accommodating to our large. One of the highlights of the night was the general tsos cauliflower! A must try! The Nashville hotsandwich was one of the best I’ve had. Everyone left full and very satisfied with their meals and beer choices! Lots of tapsand specialty cocktails to choose from. I’d recommend Urban Tap to anyone. Read more
Upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff & very tasty food. We had the Bison Burger & Big Fish Burger. Both were HUGE, well plated &... delish. Great beer & spirits selection PLUS our waitress knew her beers & could recommend selections. Greatly appreciated!Highly recommend. Read more
We tried two different burgers, both pretty tasty. Plain/standard ingredients at first glance, but well seasoned and the meat... was actually cooked the way we ordered (which seems rare these days so I feel like I need to say it)! We were surprised that theshort rib sandwich was actually a burger + short rib on top, but it was very good. The herb fries were that perfect balance ofcrispy outside and soft inside, although a bit heavy on the salt. We happened to come right at happy hour (9pm), along witheveryone else, so food service was pretty slow, but the waiters at least stopped by regularly to check on drinks. Next timewe'll try to come earlier. Read more
I had steak&Green and pork nachos today. The salad is good, but a little too cheesy for me, the steak cooked well but not high... quality meat. But definitely deserve the price for sure! The nachos is good, corn chips is crunchy, avocado is different way tomake, very smooth. I would give 4.5/5 for the nachos and 4/5 for the steak salad. The food quantity was good. Definitely canhangout with friends there, drink and chat. Read more
