Pittsburgh's Best Outdoor Vibe

6/11/2017

0 Comments

 
There’s nothing like spending a beautiful evening outside in the open air with family or friends.  Whether it’s for dinner or just drinks, socializing always seems better with a slight breeze under a clear sky.  Not all outdoor spaces are created equal though.  It takes the right combination of lighting, ambiance, and clientele to justify leaving the backyard and grill for $10 drinks.  In no particular order, here are some nice options that each bring something a little different.

​Name:  II Tetto
Food:  Bar Snacks
Location:  Downtown
Personal Thoughts:  A great rooftop bar with a good mix of clientele.  Tends to get pretty busy.
