We visited Industry on a busy Friday evening, looking for some of the exciting drinks and food we'd heard this place does. The place was packed--had a 25 minute wait for a table, which was fine. We took a couple of spare stools at the bar and ordered some drinks. The beer list is good and the cocktail list sounded interesting. We tried some cocktails. They were okay but nothing special, unfortunately. We then moved to a table and ordered some food. My wife ordered a salad and I ordered a burger. I'd heard they do some great things with burgers, so I was pretty excited. A good "fancy" burger in Pittsburgh can still be hit or miss (more miss than hit). This was a total miss. The burger was way overcooked (ordered medium), the beef did not taste top quality, and the bun was stale. What a shame. The only positive were the fries, which we ordered with pot roast gravy. That was a tasty topping that elevated otherwise boring fries.
The service was so-so. The hostess dealing with the table wait list was pleasant and helpful. The bar staff were affable. Our waitress was friendly but pretty aloof (or indifferent?).
The ambience of the place on a busy night was great, though. Really felt like a happening bar in a happening neighborhood of Manhattan (actually the way the place is decorated reminds me of The Smith in the East Village).
This is a good bar for beers and maybe some basic snacks. Food was unimpressive but depends on the occasion I suppose. Two stars because they are trying to be something more than a bar with average bar food so they could do better. Hopefully they will as this is still a relatively new place.
