Needle&pin - Pittsburgh

Fabulous food, incredible gin selection, phenomenal cocktails, and chill ambience. Best thing to happen to my neighborhood in a long time.

We went in on a Friday night and sat at a table in the bar area at about 9:00pm. The bar was quite full, but the servers had plenty of time to converse with other patrons at the bar. I sat for about 10 minutes and two servers walked by to service other tables and we got no greeting or acknowledgment. We ended leaving so I have no other experience other than poor hospitality.

SO overpriced for basically what us British colonialism food appropriating Indian cuisine. Vegan options were slim and all our food at the table came out at weird temperatures and not at all like the photos that enticed us. They need to work on productivity, presentation and consistency.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala, but I wasn’t very impressed. The portion was quite small, and the dish lacked flavor. However, the atmosphere was fantastic, so I would definitely recommend this place for cocktails.

Unfortunately, this is the final night for Pin Needle. Although it was my first visit, I found the staff to be friendly and the food quite tasty! I've heard that a French Bistro will be taking its place, and I look forward to trying it out!
