De Pan Y Queso Bocadillos Bar

What an amazing bar!It's such a friendly and welcoming establishment.I love the decor and the environment.Specialty cocktails and food menu.Exceptional.

Kicking myself for not driving up the hill sooner to this incredible Pittsburgh gem! The food: outstanding and fresh. The drinks: Delicious. The glassware: so fun. The owner and staff: incredible people. We visited on the last night of the season before the owner makes the trek home for some well-deserved time off for the holidays. (They'll be back in Feb). We had lovely conversations with the staff and other bar patrons. It's a lovely cozy space and the perfect environment for talking to strangers. There are some beautiful photos on the wall used as conversation starters from the owners travels. I tried the pickle martini and some of the house-made wines, all were so tasty. The food blew me out of the water. The Iberian plate was a perfectly curated mix of the most delicious meats, cheeses, olives, kimchi, etc. We got lucky that day as the owner had prepared her famous lamb. She slices it thin and serves it with a generous portion of pita bread and house made dips including tatziki and red pepper hummus. I'm dreaming of eating and drinking here again and can't wait to become a regular.

Y'all. Yinz. Yes, I mean you (plural). Stop what you're doing and change your dinner plans, because you need to meet your crew at this unassuming eatery with adult beverages. It may look like a hole-in-the-wall, but inside it's shabby chic (with the nicest bar bathroom I've seen in a while), and there's an outdoor space that can be re-arranged to host a group of almost any size. Plus, the music was speaking to me: it began with "99 Luftballons" and ended with "All the Small Things" from Blink-182 ("Work sucks / I know").I met some girlfriends there on a Friday evening, and we split the Norwegian, vegetarian mezze, and Basque mussels platters. 1 per person seemed to be the right ratio, and everyone had enough to eat from the finger-licking variety. We enjoyed our meal while watching / listening to / feeling the rumble from the freight trains passing beneath us and across the railroad bridge over the river. (#ThatsSoPGH)The proprietess is a chef first and foremost, but the cocktails are hardly second rate. I really want to give a shout-out to the hard-working bartender! Although the margarita was mostly grapefruit juice, the whiskey sour was delicious, and the old fashioned was just different enough to be interesting. Beware! When the menu says the Oaxaca Sunset is spicy, they mean it! (It was too spicy for me.)To top it all off, after the sun had set, while we were trying to decide whether to wrap things up, a wild raccoon crested the hill and looked confusedly at all of us humans, as if to say, "Scram! It's my turn to eat!" Our little group paid up and left, at any rate, with plans to come back.

Here's a place that offers locally sourced foods with the misson of getting you to think globally. The food is very good, and is not your typical fare. The drinks are outstanding, all hand-crafted. The photographs on display are thoughtful and support a theme of international justice.The live music is quite good. There's a funky bohemian vibe that is all part of a unique experience.

Wonderful little find on the North Side. This hole in the wall pub holds many charms. Friendly staff. Excellent drinks. Eclectic atmosphere.

What an amazing find this little place is on California Avenue in the Marshall Shadeland section of Pittsburgh!! I haven't seen this place mentioned by food critics in the Pittsburgh area, but was told about it by a couple fellow Yelp! elite members a few days ago. The building is easy to find with the street number displayed on the outside however, there is no signage whatsoever, and the two doors on the front are both locked without any indication where to go. Walk around to the right side of the building and you'll find the entrance. Great cozy bar with a bartender who whipped up some delicious, amazing cocktails. The food is mostly various types of tapas and shareable plates with a quality selection of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Forgot to take pictures because we dove right in to the plates which all looked so good and were!

The craft cocktails and tapas are beyond fabulous. Tip - enter through side door. Coming back until I make my way through the whole menu.Pickled pickles pickles. Beans, cabbage, kimchi and capers galore.

Stopped by last night- as my friend wanted a cocktail and this was the area we were in. The place looks completely different inside- totally hipsterish, chic, cool vibe. You can also sit outside. We did not eat- but the menu looks good. All the spirits are from PA. The owner was the highlight. So fascinating- makes a great drink, great conversation.

Bocadillos has been on our "to do" list since last summer - finally made it.Did not disappoint! As the food (we tried six different dishes) and cocktails lived up to pre-visit expectations for our group of 4 (+ two dogs) completing a great weather outdoor experience! We had the courtyard all to ourselves, which was an unexpected pleasure - while as the same time left us wondering why more people didn't join in??(Chesney Concert, 3 Rivers Arts & Pride festivals must have pulled people away?)Although we did not meet the chef/owner, the staff and their service were well paced, attentive and welcoming. GREAT small plate & cocktail experience without having to venture (completely) into the "Burgh"!

Go inside and be part of a great experience of cocktails and food. Thoroughly enjoyed the La Paloma Margaritas and the Gum-Band Old Fashioned. The 2 tapas plates that we ordered were delicious. The owner/waitress/bartender is charming and provided superb service. Enjoy this place while it's intimate.
