| - I dig this place. My mom and I are in Pittsburgh for the weekend to attend a seminar at the history museum and we ended up at Winghart's because it was nearby and didn't require a reservation. I'm glad we stopped in!
At first I feared that I made a mistake...the seating upstairs was really cramped and the music was ridiculously loud. However, after about ten minutes or so the noise died down, the room became more comfortable, and we had a really nice dinner.
I ordered the Shipwreck Burger, she ordered the Dock Burger, and we split a side of fries. Everything was exactly what I would have expected from a place touting the title of a burger and whiskey bar: great portions, crispy fries, and messy burgers. Messy in a good way, of course. The "lick the aioli and brie off of your fingers because the napkin isn't worthy" kind of messy. The Shipwreck was truly delicious. If you're into arugula, truffle, caramelized onions, brie cheese, and decadence, you can't go wrong.
We both had a Gram Positive (scotch, orange and fig honey, lemon, and fresh ginger). It was balanced and refreshing, and it was a great complement to the rich food.
Our server was friendly, polite, and as prompt as she could be on a busy Saturday night. Though I may never visit Winghart's again because I'm not from the area, I suggest you check it out!
