OMG the SMASH BURGERS. Look no further. They are definitely legit. It's not fair to the rest of Pgh that the two best smash burgers IMO are like 5 mins apart from each other. The other place has a better burger but this place has better sauces but neither are really too much better than the other.I also got a specialty drink that i sadly didn't not the name of but it was just an excellent alcoholic sweet tea that I referred to as a "spicy turners". The wife's mule was proper, and the staff were great. This place went all out decorating for Halloween even putting a red carpet style sash over name; dubbbing Red's "Bad" News.The pricing of everything was great too. It wasn't cheap which nothing good ever is anymore, but it was definitely a perfect bang for your buck situation. 10 outa 10 would smash that patty again.

Owner's a pal of mine so i'm biased but the place is honestly the bee's knees. Killer grub, reasonable prices, always great staff, and the vibe is always right.

Moonlit is in my neighborhood so we most often land there for smashburgers. But we've been meaning to try Red's Good News for a while and I wish we hadn't waited so long. Burgers were smashy, tasty, and not at all greasy. Bonus: happy hour prices were great ($6 burgers on weekdays). The atmosphere of this place is great; little neighborhood place, charming inside, friendly staff, and you can play a board game, watch a game on tv, drop by for dinner, or just hang with friends. There were solo patrons in there reading a book, on a laptop, and just having a drink. It was comfy like that. Burgers are neck and neck with Moonlit, which is a good thing (less greasy actually) but Moonlit fries probably edge out Red's for me. Food menu is small, which I like--what they do, they do well. This place is great--burgers A+, fries B, my Fizzy Arnold A, and prices A+. Can't wait go back. Solid 4.5 stars and I'm rounding up!

We had a great time at Red's. Not only do they have great food but a killer tap list of both local beers and more. The staff is extremely friendly. There is outdoor seating which make it a great place to hang in the summer. They also have a secret peep hole out front that you MUST check out. Trust me

A nice neighborhood spot for good drinks, good food, and great company. This casual bar has indoor and outdoor seating that you seat yourself when you arrive. To get a menu or service you need to go to the bar, but the bartenders are good at getting to you quickly. Both the beer and food menus are limited, but they still cover a wide range of flavors and preferences. I ordered the pink lemonade cider and cheeseburger, which were delicious. The drink was refreshing on a hot summer day, with a balanced flavor of sweet and slight sour tang. The cheeseburger came with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and bbq sauce on top. It was a smash burger, which I love, and packed with flavor. They have a self-serve sauce station in the back with buffalo sauce, bbq, ketchup, ranch, mustard, mayo, and lightning sauce to add to your burger or dip your fries in. I highly recommend ordering the seasoned fries, they're perfectly sized for sharing and come out freshly crisp. Looking forward to coming back with friends, as the atmosphere is great for relaxing and everyone is in a good mood!

Red's Good News is by far a local gem in Brookline. I've gone countless times and every time is just as good as the time before. They have some creative cocktails that rotate seasonally as well as a great beer selection that are all priced very well! However what keeps me coming back is bar food and atmosphere. Their menu might be limited, however what they have on it is amazing! Their burgers are phenomenal, their fried zucchini is perfect, and the seasoned fries are always crispy. They also have a sauce bar with homemade bbq sauce, ranch, and more to just add to the meal!

Easily one of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh. The burgers are 10/10. Idk what lighting sauce is but i could inject that into my veins. Mayor cups for days. If you don't know what that is, go check it out. You're welcome.
