“ My dad and I were looking for a supper place near our hotel January 3 and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere is spectacular, and our server Talia was awesome! She was very personable and friendly. We had a few beer questions, and she had no problem admitting that she was unsure of something, and quickly finding us an answer. The manager, Darren, was also superb. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. We tried sour beer for the first time and wow! It was great! The food was great, people were great, atmosphere was great, and the beer was cold. If/when we go back to Pittsburgh, we will definitely come back! ”
“ The best burger I’ve ever tasted in my life. Also got pulled pork, was decent, Mac and cheese, good, but absolutely delectable greens man. Also tried dessert, custard inbetween a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Stayed cold in the wrapper all the way home. This place is crazy good!!!! For sure top 3 restaurants I’ve tried since moving here a year ago ”
“ Twelve Whiskey was the perfect kickoff spot for our bachelor party weekend. The wings were top-tier—crispy, juicy, and tossed in sauces that absolutely hit the spot. We also ordered the brisket poutine, and wow... it was next level. The brisket was tender, the gravy was rich, and it all came together like comfort food perfection. Special shoutout to Josh, our server, who really set the tone for the night. Super friendly, on top of everything, and clearly knows how to handle a rowdy group with charm and ease. If you’re in Pittsburgh and want bold flavors, great service, and a solid vibe—Twelve Whiskey delivers. ”

“ This place is amazing! Super friendly staff behind the bar with lots of great local craft beer on tap. The best part IMO is their build your own burger. The burger and waffle fries were amazing. Lots of screens around to watch sports. You can tell a place has great food when DoorDash drivers show up every 5 minutes to pick up orders. ”
“ This is such amazing food!!! The Bloody Mary is the best I’ve ever had!!! The collard greens were so damn good! Ive never had them before but they are so amazing!!! We are rib people but we absolutely loved them! 10/10 food will be coming back back and telling our friends!!! ”
“ Awesome place to eat. Wednesday night build your own burger/fried chicken/black bean starting at 4.99. The fried chicken sandwich was insanely good. House made pickles, bbq sauce needed two hands to eat. ”
“ Twelve Whiskey Barbeque, was a great experience. First, the staff was so warm and engaging. The food is amazing. I'm having the breakfast for lunch. Chorizo, tots, scrambled eggs with two cheeses, and biscuit. Enjoy! ”
