The best Wine Bar restaurants in Pittsburgh

3 Wine Bar kitchens on the map, from cheap counters to the full sit-down. Lawrenceville carries the most of them, and every one is ranked by the same 1-5 score as the rest of the site.

  1. 1

    Lawrenceville · $$ · No. 45 of 157 overall

    A tiny Butler Street wine bar with a name that is a joke and a list that is not. Tell them what you like and let them ignore you productively.

    Order: A glass you have never heard of and a cheese plate

  2. 2

    Lawrenceville · $$ · No. 100 of 157 overall

    A sommelier-run corrective to Pennsylvania's soulless wine-buying experience. A tight, globally minded list built around character and farming, not points. Drink in or grab a bottle to go, with a few smart bites to keep you honest. The kind of small, opinionated room every neighborhood wishes it had.

    Order: A glass of low-intervention something with a snacky plate

  3. 3

    Downtown · $$$ · No. 139 of 157 overall

    The Bridges & Bourbon team built a moody little jewel box in the Cultural District where dessert is the headliner, not the afterthought. The sage olive oil cake and lemon ricotta doughnuts sing; just know the wine-by-the-glass list ran thinner than the branding promised early on. A lovely nightcap stop before the show.

    Order: Lemon ricotta doughnuts with a glass of something old-world
