At Shorty's Pins x Pints retro games, like duckpin bowling, shuffleboard, bocce, foosball & pinball, are mixed with more modern elements, like a vintage style but ‘social ready’ photo booth & a digital train station split-flap sign reimagined to keep you posted on a busy schedule of “arriving & departing” beer selections + house made craft-draft cocktails. Outside, camp-style fire pits are the perfect place to relax, cozy up & take in the beautiful view of Pittsburgh's skyline with friends - both old & new. Come roll with Shorty.

    The food was outstanding and so flavorful. We both got something with chorizo and chicken - burrito (husband) and enchiladas for me. Wanted to try some dessert but we were too full. We will definitely go back! Drinks were good. Lots of fun options for drinks. Husband prefers draft beer but not a deal breaker. Very busy and can get loud when they do their birthday celebrations, but it’s a fun dining experience for a special occasion. Highly recommend!

    The food and atmosphere was calm & cool. However, upon arrival, there was No One there to greet or seat anyone. We stood there for a few minutes and was never acknowledged UNTIL we walked to the left of the greeting station to sit down at a table. Only then did someone approach us just to tell us that we could not sit there as she then attempted to go on her way. I told the lady I made a reservation 5 days ago. Only then did they begin to even assist us. Once we were seated, after that, the experience was great and so was our server who was pregnant!
