Chill lounge & bar with a contemporary vibe offering Mediterranean small plates, plus cocktails.
I had the absolute best experience at The Forge! The menu was incredible. Every tapas place we ordered was out of this world and the wood fired pizzas were to die for! The Forge also has some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Each drink was so unique and crafted so beautifully. Overall the food, drinks, and vibes were 10/10. I will definitely be coming back!
To say that my experience at The Forge was great is a drastic understatement. We had a reservation and got there right on time, and I admittedly was a bit anxious because the location is a bit smaller than you’d expect and it was SO popular. We were sat at two cozy armchairs with a small table to place our food and drinks, which I’ve not experienced at a restaurant before, and I was curious as to how the rest of the night would go. The casual atmosphere immediately set in, and it almost just felt like another home. The food was incredible, they had a lot of vegan options which I was excited about, and the brick oven pizza was delightful in every way. We ended up getting the vegan cheese board, the cauliflower steak, and the Caprese pizza along with a few cocktails. We sat and talked for hours, the staff was so friendly and not nearly as intrusive as you’d think for such a small space. They let you just enjoy your experience and only came over when you were visibly settling down. We had Luke as our server, and he was exceptional! I could not recommend The Forge enough if you’re looking for something just a little different, but still cozy and comfortable. Also, it being 21+ was a major bonus as it never got too loud! I’ll definitely be back!
We can’t say enough great things about our experience hosting our daughter’s graduation party at The Forge! From the original meeting to the event planning to the signature drink creation to the food to the atmosphere of the party itself - we couldn’t have possibly asked for anything more. The menu was perfect - the wood fired pizzas (including a special dietary needs request for a guest) were the star but then all of the Mediterranean themed bites were a big hit as well! The signature drink was fun to have but meeting with the bartender to sample & plan it really helped to make the whole experience very personal and special! The atmosphere at The Forge was so perfect for our goals as well. The upscale cocktail lounge vibe was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate her school accomplishments and a bright future ahead. An adult style event that was still incredibly warm and welcoming. It has been a few weeks now and the party is all our relatives and friends talk about when we see them. It was absolutely THE perfect place and way to celebrate our daughter’s graduation! Everyone involved from planning to prep to hosting couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Great people, awesome space and amazing food and drink.
Amazing food and drinks! My favorite place to eat out in Pittsburgh. Thanks for having such delicious vegan options!
Beautiful experience. Cleanest coziest bathroom! Food was very well seasoned. Cocktail was delicious
