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.

Went here on a first date recently. It was a Saturday night and it was busy. We had a long wait because the place was shortstaffed. The food was excellent... Crabcakes and coconut shrimp appetizers. Overall, a pleasant experience but they could have used extra help that night.

The food and drinks were great, it has a great atmosphere, stepping back in time. The serivce was fast and friendly staff.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Love this bar. Visited with friends again last night. the food, drinks and ambiance especially at happy hour are wonderful. However, the piano player was so loud that we were shouting at each other because we couldn't hear. We asked the waitress to ask her to please quiet the music down but no success. No one needs to hear music blaring that loudly - it takes away from the point of getting together.
