| - I had just arrived to Pittsburgh and my friend and I rode up the Duquesne Incline to take in the gorgeous view on a warm September night. We considered having dinner in the Mount Washington area, but none of the restaurants looked all that attractive to us (no offense, but they kind of seemed like tourist traps). With that, we could see Grandview Saloon's outdoor terrace from the observation area adjacent to the Duquesne Incline Station, so we figured we'd amble over there for a drink.
We were seated promptly and given a great table right at the edge of the balcony. Wow, the view is fantastic, especially at sunset time! The drink/cocktail menu offers your typical assortment of martinis, beer, wine, etc. I had a Ketel martini ($14) and my friend had a beer - The martini was nice and cold, and big, so a good value for what it was. It was a great place to unwind and take in the sights of Pittsburgh. It seems pretty popular overall, and their food did look good. A solid choice on Mount Washington for a casual meal or relaxing cocktail.
