| - Testing out my new Yelp review format on this one! I was in town for business and was able to meet up with some friends here and they told me they had the best wings in town.. so we shall see.
Appearance: Situated on a sloping road perched on Mt. Washington the parking situation is grim. You can MAYBE catch a spot in the open lot directly across from the bar or snag a spot on the street. Good luck. Lol. The name "Bigham Tavern" led me to believe that I'd be walking into some rundown, dive bar. Nope. I was wrong and I'm glad I was. Nice, modern feel, basic and simple styling. There isn't too much flare on the walls or many decorations at all, just TVs so that you can keep up with whatever sports you're into!
Atmosphere: The place very lively both times that I came. The waitresses are all friendly (flirty) and make you feel welcomed. Some of the tables were a lil' sticky and not perfectly clean, but I guess it's almost expected in a wing joint. Lol.
Service: Service was on point! Hailey took care of maybe 12 of us at once that Monday and she was excellent. She didn't miss a beat. Smiling, making sure we had everything we needed and making good suggestions. I can't remember my 2nd waitress's name, but she was just as awesome when I came solo on Wednesday. It's safe to say that service is a priority here and that they take pride in treating their customers well.
Food: I was able to try 8 different flavors of wings over the course of my 2 visits here.
- Hyena: A buffalo sauce with a dash of garlic topped with parmesan cheese. One of my favorite sauces here. The cheese really put this flavor over the top. I really enjoy when places combine seasonings with sauces.
- Bourbon: Kentucky bourbon (with the alcohol boiled off of course) combined with soy sauce, brown sugar and other seasonings. This sauce was really good and tasted different from anything I've had before. This was in the "hotter" section of the menu, but the heat wasn't unbearable.
- Tequila Lime: This sauce didn't impress me so much. It said it was supposed to be "hot", but I certainly didn't taste much of it. I'd pass on this one my next go-round.
- That Spicy Peanut: One of my other favorite sauces. A good spice, tasted just like some pad thai from a Thai restaurant, but it could use even more of a peanut taste to make it better!
- Chupacabra: Interesting name, same with the sauce. This one wasn't very spicy, but I loved it. Sweet and smokey, but a bold flavor that I absolutely loved. I would've passed up on it had Hailey not recommended it. Thank you!
- Coyote: This a dry rub "sauce" that I'm totally a fan of. The trick is to dip it in bleu cheese then use that bleu cheese to pick up more loose seasoning from the bottom of the container! So it's layers of flavor. Lol.
- Chipotle: On the hotter side, it was quite delicious. Very peppery and while I thought it would've been a dry rub (confusing the name with "Cajun"), it's a nice, red sauce, letting you know to beware! You don't have to though, it's not THAT hot.
- Atomic: Last but not least. Don't let the name fool you. I expected to be gasping for air, chugging milk and running outside to jump in the snow because of how hot it was. I barely blinked. It's a habanero based sauce, but it was not that bad, very good though, I would totally get it again.
Value: Absolutely good value here. The food was good and well worth the money, especially if you come on Wednesdays which is their #WingWednesday night! $0.50 wings, but you can't take any home with you, so they say... Beers are decently priced and there's no sticker shock looking at anything on the menu.
In conclusion I really enjoyed this place. It's definitely somewhere I'm going to frequent when I'm in Pittsburgh. I can't miss a Wing Wednesday! While you're up here make sure you go to the top of Merrimac Street and check out the incredible view of downtown Pittsburgh. You'll thank me.
