The Goldmark

This is cute bar!! Love their happy hour. They've got good deals. I love that they carry Arsenal cider. I didn't love that the outdoor space really smelled like trash but it was a very hot weekend when we went. The outdoor space is small but cute. I can definitely see this place be poppin at night. Staff was nice too. Definitely a great place to come for a drink and with friends.

My husband and I love The Goldmark. The service is fantastic and the music is AMAZING. DJ NUGGET and DJ MIDAS bring the vibes for a fantastic night out. Get there early for a spot at the bar!

Good food in Lawrenceville isn't hard to find. There's a new amazing place, all the way down past the hubbub of central Lawrenceville that caught my attention; The GoldMark. For a "bar" that is trying to make a name for themselves in the food world, they sure have made their mark. (pun totally intended) My date and I stopped in on the very first day that the kitchen was open. We decided to order a few things and fight amongst ourselves for dinner. The order came to one Chicken & Waffles sandwich, one GoldMark Cuban, (I love the play on words) and the Mac & Cheese. Yowza. All the food! For $26, it was quite the steal. The Chicken & Waffles sandwich is made with a perfectly fluffy waffle; just a little sweet. The chicken thigh was fried and crisp, and the jalapeño/honey drizzle goodness was just right to top. It wouldn't be Pittsburgh if they didn't put coleslaw on it. This was just the right addition to pull the whole sandwich together. I'd like to go on record and say that I've never had a Cuban. However, this was a great first experience!! They use local rolls, and press braised pork, honey ham, house made pickles, swiss cheese, and a lemon aioli between them for an amazing first-bite (and every bite thereafter) experience. I'm not a pickle fan; but I loved these! I can't forget the Mac & Cheese. They make their cheese sauce in house (no cutting corners here), and then top it with Fritos. FRITOS. Yes, you read that right. It was a little slice/pile of heaven. I can't speak to the bar; because we were just here for the noms tonight, but their Beer & Shot tiers seemed pretty popular at the bar. They have a DJ every night that they're open, good old-school guys spinning on vinyl, hence the name The GoldMark. I'll totally be back to eat the other half of the menu and more! Happy Eating!

I used to love this place because the music is fantastic but unfortunately the staff is dishonest and difficult to deal with so I don't recommend going here anymore. The last few times I went the bartenders were slow and sloppy. Also this Friday the bouncer took my cash for the cover and then refused me entry. If you don't want to let me in, that's fine, but atleast give me my money back, dirtbag...

We came here after dinner while out celebrating our anniversary. Since we were already in Lawrenceville for dinner it seemed an appropriate time to do a little bar hoping since I am noticing Larry-ville seems to be turning into the "new" Southside. There was a lot going on here, and none of it was enticed me to stay past one quick drink. Before even walking in you could tell the place was booming. Lots of 20 something's, loud music, and general hoochieness. We went to the bar, and was approached by the bartender quickly if not overly friendly. I asked for a drink menu, she hands me one and steps back. I noticed the menu is so sticky it really disgusted me, but I soon came to find everything was sticky from the floors to the bar and most likely the other patrons. I ordered a cocktail, the Gold Fashioned, a play on an Old Fashioned. It was ok, would have been nice to have a little more bourbon and a little less simple syrup. Speaking of syrup did some disgruntled worker mop the floor and bar with it. Gross. I had to use the restroom but decided to hold it until the next stop fearing what state that may be in. Cashed out and split. They get two stars one for being on the cheaper side of life, Craft beer and mixed drink $11 and change, and no wait with the service.

Went here to dance and have fun after a 40th birthday dinner. Great atmosphere and felt comfortable and friendly. Enjoyed DJ Nugget and music from all genres!

Too hot, otherwise solid. It says my review is too short so here is the start of a bread recipe. 750g flour 600g water3g instant yeast 17g salt

Hands down my favorite late night spot in Pittsburgh. I have been coming to Goldmark for years, and it's always a good time. The staff is friendly and attentive and DJ Nugget always keeps the party going. Not to mention the hysterical neon sign... classic!

If you are older than 20 - don't go to the gold mark! At capacity does anyone I'm their 30's .... Don't go there - the bouncers may not want you!

Hands down the best spot to go in Pittsburgh for quality dj's, solid drink specials, and a phenomenal staff (Blaze, John, Nicole, + Jill just to name a few).
