Gandy Dancer Saloon - Pittsburgh

Just don’t bother. We had to ask 5 times for silverware. It took 10 minutes after we got our food to get silverware. The Prosecco was flat. The mixed drinks were eh. Then they got one time wrong and couldn’t get it together and never brought the item. There was no rush on their part and one person never got to eat one thing. Even tho they said any minute and they’d put a rush on it. Horrible service

We are new to Pittsburgh. We walked over to this local Station Square District to explore. We had seen the Gandy online and decided to check it out. What a cool historical spot! We actually went two evenings in a row the food and service was so good. Amanda and Sammie took great care of us each night. We had the wedge salad, asparagus, filet, smashed redskin potatoes and chicken breast with a mushroom and artichoke topping. Everything was cooked to perfection both nights. Friday evening was definitely buzzing with a great happy hour business and locals crowd! We will definitely become regulars. Large long bar and table seating both. Top notch!

The Gandy Dancer is one of those timeless Pittsburgh experiences that is tied to its history. The views of the adjacent Grand Concourse from the bar area are beautiful. We had not been here in several years and we made a point of stopping over the Christmas holidays with visiting family and had a great experience almost like visiting an old friend. The pricing fits the atmosphere but going during happy hour (which we did) provides some reduced drink prices. We will definitely put this stop back in a more regular rotation for us.

So I'm not sure what was going on between the two bartenders last night. There was a definite passive aggressive vibe from the one. It was 20 minutes before we were greeted. With another 15 before we got our drinks. We came here for Valentine's Day and liked it so much that we wanted to come here for our anniversary. We were taken aback by the ridiculous service at such an esteemed landmark here in Pittsburgh. The burgers are phenomenal. Not sure we would come back though after the awful service.

Located in Station Square and part of the Grand Concourse. It serves the same great food as its more formal partner, but you can dress casual. There’s not many tables but the bar is a good spot to have a drink or grab a good meal. Nice atmosphere and not too loud like some bars can be. Try one of their chocolate martinis for desert!
