The first time I went to the Thirsty Turtle was 15 years ago to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers game with 2 of my fellow Steelers fans. This is THE best place in town to hang out with friends any day of the week, not just on game day. The bartenders and servers are very friendly and the service is definitely on point, even when the place is packed they get to you as quickly as possible. The food there is not your typical bar food either. The burgers and sandwiches are out of this world!! I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and I promise that you haven't lived until you taste Yankee food, and the food at The Turtle made me so homesick I almost wept. I highly recommend this place!!
