Harris Grill kinda sorta just opened a new location in Downtown, and I went to happy hour to check out the scene. Situated on the sometimes forgotten Fourth Ave, Harris Grill sits high above the peasants on the street. After I climbed the stairs to the bar, I settled in cause I wasn’t doing that again. It’s a small space with a lot of spirit. I immediately felt excited to be there, but that could have been because of the fact that I was invited to happy hour with my new coworkers. But for the sake of Burgh B&B, let’s say it was the kitchen strainers-turned-light shades that made the ambiance so vibrant. The space is intimate. In other words, it packs a big punch in a small space. There is also a roof top bar, which I am a huge sucker for, but some fancy high rollers had it booked for a private party that I couldn’t crash, so I had to pretend to be confused and walk up the second floor to see what it was like. Half under the shade, half in the sun, I can see why this would make a great place for a private HH. Lots of steps, though, which is great because that means you can drink more with the extra calories burned!
Harris Grill-ed Ya With Options!
The happy hour isn’t bad AT ALL. Half off drafts, signature Frozen Cosmos, and $5 appetizers, YUM . It was a Thursday and dahntahn Pittsburgh was ready to get LIT, so the place was packed. Service struggled due to the influx of work happy hours and people ready for a frozen cocktail. Those sipping on said frozen cosmos were all smiles and blushed cheeks, an automatic W for happy hour. From the looks of the empty plate of tots, the food was a hit as well.
Besides some freshman complaints (is that even a term?), I would definitely go back to Harris Grill’s downtown PGH location. Especially for happy hour and even potentially to eat an actual meal and pay actual full price for it! My next step is to get on that roof, and I’ll let yinz know when I do!
