| - I am not from Pittsburgh but travel there often for sporting events and concerts, and I have always had a great experience at Rivertowne despite it being usually crowded. ( The bar is right across from Heinz Field, PNC Park, and Stage AE) I have to say three things, largely in response to other reviews I have read...
One, this is a sports bar. If you are ordering appetizers, pizza, wings, etc. I dont think you can go wrong. I cannot attest to how the tuna is, because this is a sports' bar. I wouldn't order it here, nor would I go to a Mexican restaurant and order a cheeseburger. The buffalo chicken dip is as good as buf chic dip can be.
Two, the beer is cold and the drinks are strong! Again, this is not a gastro-pub.
Three, if you go here prior to or after a game, have a little patience. I have seen the staff run their tails off, slinging food and drink to get the patrons to the game on time.
If you are looking for a fun atmosphere, some quick bites, accompanied by some adult beverages, Rivertowne is great!
