Our Story

Meat & Potatoes, Pittsburgh's first gastropub, pays homage to the simplicity and comfort at the heart of American cuisine. Our approachable fare features traditional-yet-satisfying staples of the American pantry. We feature one of the city's first cutting-edge mixology programs, yet our libations harken back to the tradition of Prohibition and the Repeal. We invite you to relax with the camaraderie of a neighborhood pub in our rustic, high-ceilinged atmosphere, sip a handcrafted cocktail, and enjoy comfort food as you have never tasted it before.
