Gandy Dancer Saloon

We came for a pregame party before the college basketball tournaments. What a great saloon next to the beautiful old train station. This saloon is very nice and warm, not a dive. There are very nice tables and booths with a bar. For the event, hot trays of food were delivered for a buffet line, but the food, tho very good, was not plentiful. People had to wait for food to arrive. Hot trays were never full. If planning an event check about the buffet line. There was a cash bar. Restrooms were in the old part of the station and were nice. We'll definitely return to try the menu and relax in this old, but very nice saloon. A parking garage is nearby. Handicapped accessible.

Came for the happy hour and we had an overall good time. Service inattentive at arrival. Bartender ambivalent about us standing there looking at him. Waiting . . . waiting. He was busy talking with his coworkers. Once we interrupted and were sent to a high top, we ordered oysters, calamari and the spicy cucumber martini off the HH menu. All were good and well priced. Waitstaff (Amanda) was friendly and helpful. If we are in the area I think we'd return.

I asked the bartender for a smoked old fashioned & she said okay... brought me an old fashioned, not smoked... still good, just not what I asked for. Later she asked if I'd like another one & she said embarrassed she just realized she didn't smoke the first one. She proceeded to make me another & it was smoked & delicious.

What a neat bar nestled in the former Train Station known as the Grand Concourse in the Station Square area of Pittsburgh. This has potential to be an excellent bar but I fear it's on it's last leg. After dining at the restaurant the night before, we figured what a neat place to have a few beers.

Well, it was good for maybe one beer before the bartender told us they were closed. It was like 8:30p or so and there was no warning, no last call, no signs of it being closed as there were still a few people at some tables around the bar. He wasn't very friendly about it and complained about people ordering a beer then hanging out for a few hours with one beer blah blah blah. Anyway, it may be better on the weekends or earlier in the evening. The attitude definitely needs to go. We did not feel welcomed.

Love this spot! It's a nice upscale bar atmosphere. The happy hour here is really good with food and drink specials. It is from Monday- Friday 4-6:30pm with seafood small bites and cocktails, mixed drinks, beer and wine.

I was able to make a reservation on Open Table, but when I got there they said they don't take reservations. It was a little confusing since Open Table even asked me to confirm my reservation. Other than that it wasn't busy at the time we went, so we were able to be seated right away.

Ivana and marissa are great servers. Oysters were good. Pretty ambience. Cool architecture. Check it out.

Three of us "old friends" met on November 11th. We had the best time,and the best food! at the Gandy Dancer. Our servers were excellent; the very best. They were the ones who made the whole evening shine. We would like to thank Taylor and Miranda. They are two young women who should receive recognition for their professional service, and superior people skills.

While visiting Pittsburgh for business, we came here for dinner one evening and decided to sit at the bar. Service was OK, nothing special. The menu is really nice looking and honestly, the food we got was great. Drinks are decent and the wine list was adequate. The venue is really pretty and looks great for having a special event. Even though the food was really good, I just can't see returning for the price and service, it's a "one and done" visit for me.

The Gandy Dancer is a gorgeous, old school bar. It's wonderful to sit there, take it in and enjoy your drink and maybe an appetizer or two. My wife and I loved going to the Gandy Dancer. But our last visit there we decided we needed to find another place. The service at the bar has been pretty consistent lately- inattentive. We've gotten better service at local bars. There's always a wait at the Gandy Dancer. A wait for someone to greet you, a wait for your first drink, a wait for someone to check in on you to see if you want to order food, a wait for someone to check on you to see if you want another drink. The food is good, if not expensive. The drinks are fine. So, I guess if you're not in a hurry you will like the Gandy Dancer. As for us, we'll be looking for another place to chill when in the city.

It has been years since we were here since we moved out of town, so it was nice to come back for old times sake. It didn't appear much had changed in the cosmetics.

We had the most unpleasant bartender I think I have ever encountered. He approached us and never said Hello or anything. He just kind of looked at us as if to say "what do you want". We looked at each other thinking we were in the wrong place, because it used to be so nice here. We ordered martinis and they were just ok. Vodka wasn't cold enough and didn't fill the glass. The bartender never ever said a word to us. It was bizarre. Prices weren't bad, which was surprising.

The place was dead on a Saturday night at 7:00.
