Terrific place to get a beer and wings. The bartenders are nice and call you by name after a couple times (which I love) Â and the wings are to die for. They take forever because the kitchen is tiny but it is worth it. Get the Cajun spice or the Bourbon BBQ sauce wings and thank me later. Cajun fries and Hot Pretzels are also great here. Super easy to park around this bar as well.
Review Source:Why oh why have I waited so long to come here?!?! Though it's in the South Side this place is far enough out of the way that it escapes the normal douchery associated with East Carson Street. The inside is small with about 10-15 bar stools, 3 high tops and 2 regular tables. BBT has a great warm feeling with its tin ceilings, brick walls, low lights, and life long South Siders quietly getting drunk. They have a rotating tap list of about 20 craft beers, and usually have some sort of special starting around 8 pm, my favorite being Saturday's $2 Yuenglings till 8, then $3 Sierra Nevada's 8-11. You can affordabley get wasted all day!
Everything I've eaten here has been awesome, burgers, fries, nachos, and wings. The wings are actually my favorite in the whole city, especially when they are sauced with their Golden Boy sauce (mixture of golden mustard and hot buffalo). They have $.50 wings on Monday's and Wednesdays from 7-10. My only gripe is that their food specials always start at 7, I work on the South Side so it would be nice to stop over right after work. Maybe I'll just have to start putting in longer hours. I bet that will make the cold beer and hot wings taste even better.
Walking in here, you expect the music to come to a stop and everyone turns around and stares at you. Â You know, one of those dive bars that everybody knows your name, because you're a regular. Â But for me, a stranger coming in, I thought it would be awkward. Â I'm happy to report, it wasn't at all!
It almost seems like paradise! Â A cozy little corner bar that has cheap food and a comfortable atmosphere. Â We stopped in on a whim and it was a good decision. Â It was 50 cent boneless wings and then at 8pm the beers went half off (Thursday night, just so you know:). Â The news just kept getting better! Â
The selection of beers on tap is awesome. Â What's even better is that the bartender was super nice and kept getting us samples of beers she thought we'd like. Â I'm a total wimp when it comes to ordering spicy food, so I opted for the non spicy side of the menu (it's cool they have the menu listing from mild to hot wings). Â I chose the garlic parm and Golden BBQ (honey BBQ). Â They were good, a bit small, but not surprising for boneless wings. Â I really liked the BBQ sauce, it was sweet and tangy and mixed well with the ranch to dip.
The absolute only  thing I didn't like was that they allow smoking in here still.  I had just washed my hair that night too, ugh!  That smoke just sticks to you....yuck!
I have a feeling this could become my new "spot." Â Who knows, maybe I'll even become a regular...and not look disdainfully at the stranger walking through the door, because I'll know it's worth it!
OMG this place is lip smackin good! Â This is by far my favorite place to get wings. Â I enjoy the Jerk and have had a few of the others that are really tasty! Â I would recommend going on a Wednesday b/c it's wing night and it gets comfortably crowded. Â The beer is great too - they had this great pumpkin beer the last time I went. Â I try to ask the server or bartender for recommendations and they are usually right on. Â
Check out the BBT and eat some wings!
The greatest beer selection in South Side. Â The best american style food as well. Â Try the "wing burger", I go with the Craq burger, and believe me it is like crack. Â I find myself lusting after it at strange times. Â I would do anything to get one. Â I want one right now. Â
If you're not a red meat eater... their chicken wings are superb and they offer tons of different sauces and rubs. Â You also have the option of getting a crispy or grilled chicken wrap with the wing sauce of your choice on it, for those who don't like the wing eating experience.
Definately worth checking out. Â There are 3 floors here. Â It's tucked away in the far end from Carson on a back street making parking a bit easier and definately a breath taking establishment and a great place to watch the sports games at! Let's go Pens!
Occasionally the owners will bring their GORGEOUS dogs in, that's always a wonderful treat!
You can still smoke in the bar area which is a nice thing, if you smoke.
This is one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh! It's not as divey as you think it would be from the outside and it is slightly removed from all the hustle and bustle of Carson Street (meaning you can usually snatch a parking spot right out front!)
Anyway. They are known for their wings. Boyfriend always opts for the boneless wings which are so amazingly good. (Get the Eric Jr sauce!) They also serve fresh cut fries that are heavily seasoned with salt and pepper. Deeelish.
Sometimes when I am feeling like eating healthy, I will order their soup of the day. They have amazing soups. The Asian beef is the best! They also have very good salads. They use spring greens (not the usual iceberg) and they house make their own croutons! Get the blackened chicken salad with the Italian dressing! You can also get the blackened chicken in a wrap form which is also delightful.
Great beer selection and by far the best bloody mary I have ever had! They infuse their own vodka with hot peppers! And rim the glass in a special kind of salt.
Another great bar with the upstaris/downstairs thing going on. Upstairs we rocked out to a great deejay for a post-wedding bash.
Apparently Pittsburgh is all about the bottled beer - I have never seen so many bottles in fridges at bars before this.
One warning - it was impossible to get cabs home from here, even on Saturday night, even with multiple people calling. Some of the boys went over to Carson and caught cabs, then brought them over to us. That was the only reason why we managed to get home!
I have been here twice, and have gotten the same thing each time (the cheesesteak wrap). i plan on ordering other things from the menu, but a cheesesteak wrap was what i was craving both times! both times, it's been really good. and their fries are delicious, too!
one thing that wasn't so great: the second time i went, it happened to be wing night. my roommate and i didn't order wings, and it took almost an hour to get our food. it was a rediculous wait! the waitress appologized a few times, but told us that wing night gets really busy with a small kitchen. next time, i won't go on wing night.
The first time I went to "the other BBT" (as opposed to the much more established Bloomfield Bridge Tavern) I liked it. They have a nice looking bar/restaurant. I ate a burger, which was pretty good. And, the bartender and owner did come over to us and chat it up a bit. The owner tooted his own horn about his wings (which I did not order). I love wings so i made a mental note to try it next time. All in all, a pleasant experience. In my mind, I decided that this could be a good after work/local bar, especially given the South Side location, even if it is a couple blocks from the real action.
I went back again this week, and I was sorely disappointed in my second experience. The bar is still nice - clean with a nice aura, not a dive. But, a few things went wrong: first, when we finally got to order, the bartender denied my request for wings because they were out. Okay, if you have signs that say "Best Wings in Pittsburgh," you don't run out of wings! Second, they didn't adhere to the new no smoking law. It was like 8pm, not 1am; and there were a few tables of customers. If I had known, I would not have gone there because I just didn't plan on stinking when I left that night.
So here it is, a 2-star rating. The food is not bad (still haven't tried the wings), but it's nowhere near great. If you have to go, order a burger or the veggie wrap - those are good. I really want to like this bar, but they're not giving me any good reason to like it that much. Everything is just okay, even though the bar itself is nicely kept.
[The other] BBT, you'll have to give me a better reason to keep you around!
