Great drinks, food and service in a fun atmosphere. Hidden Harbor is must-try unique experience in Pittsburgh.
When I first heard of Hidden Harbor I thought "Why would someone open a tiki bar in Squirrel Hill?" But my visits have shown it to be the perfect addition to the area.
The staff is fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly attentive. I love that everyone seems to really know the ins and outs of their menu and how their signature cocktails are made. Our waitress recommended the Tropical Itch and the Gardenia Grog - both of which were fantastic.
You might expect that a place like Hidden Harbor would concentrate only on drinks and let the food be so-so. But this isn't the case. Hidden Harbor has a fantastic small menu. We had the Shrimp Ceviche and the Plantain Canoa. The Ceviche was fresh, lite and satisfying. The Canoa was a delicious blend of meat and savory plantain. My only gripe was with the plantain chips for the Ceviche - I was hoping for something crispier, while these were somewhat soft.
Go here by yourself and sit at the bar or go with friends and share some of their multi-person drinks. Happy drinking!
