| - When I moved to Pittsburgh a year ago, I crossed state borders with the assumption that the Steel City's night-life (especially the live music scene) would be lacking. While our city could do some work on offering late night dining, the live music scene happily surprised me. One of the first places that I sought out live music in Pittsburgh was at the Fairmont Hotel on Fifth Avenue. The bar at the Fairmont is called Andy's, and it's everything that you want from a hotel bar: large, professional, and true to Pittsburgh. Named after Andy Warhol himself, Andy's doesn't just know how to make a great Manhattan and give off a contemporary-art vibe. They also serve a fulfilling American and offer live jazz music throughout the week (http://andyswinebar.com/jazz/). It gets even better, though. After several months of living in Pittsburgh, I realized that most downtown restaurants close fairly early (10pm on weeknights, or midnight on weekends). When I have found myself in a pinch and starving during late hours, I have always been able to strike gold at the bar at Andy's. They serve food past midnight!
The bar environment is quiet, friendly, and professional. This is the kind of bar that you go to when you don't feel like talking to anyone. At the same time, I have met some fascinating people at Andy's since it is in the Fairmont. The bartenders do make a mean Manhattan (my favorite drink) and they have a variety of alcohol's available.
The food menu is diverse, offering a variety of American fare items. Being vegetarian, Andy's Wine Bar strikes gold for me again because they serve a fantastic veggie burger! My favorite part though, is that when you ask for condiments (ketchup, mustard, and mayo), they give it to you in glass baby Heinz jars. So cute! I'm weird and save the jars because I have this obsession with all things Pittsburgh and happen to live in the Heinz Lofts! (Read my review on the Heinz Lofts, here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/heinz-lofts-pittsburgh)
Andy's is a great place to unwind after a long day at work, meet some new folks visiting Pittsburgh at the bar, enjoy live music, or enjoy late night dining. I highly recommend Andy's to professionals in the city. It's a breath of fresh air, after trying so many equally wonderful but very different restaurants and bars in Pittsburgh.
Enjoy!
