Pittsburgh thrives off its mighty three rivers, the calming views of North Park Lake, and more. Here are a few must-visit places to soak in the soothing, moving sounds of water and the summer-time flood of tranquility.

Redfin Blues

Located on the Allegheny River, Redfin Blues has been an iconic, staple seafood restaurant. They’re dog-friendly and bustling with the ultimate maritime vibe. Watch boats load on and off into the water, take a stroll in Washington’s Landing, and dine away with all-you-can-eat crab legs.

Plus, no need to worry about the weather since the larger-than-life patio is covered. The bar that’s partially outside also has great cover. Make sure to go up River Avenue off the East Ohio Street exit due to the construction activity off the 31st Street Bridge. 

OTB at the North Park Boathouse

Located at the Boathouse in North Park, OTB (Over The Bar) Boathouse’s lakeview is as stunning as its restaurant atmosphere. The restaurant has rolled out new tortilla wraps, two healthy ride bowls, and an Aloha Bonk Breaker turkey burger topped with pineapple salsa, BBQ bourbon glaze, avocado, and a spring mix.

In addition to more new, mouth-watering items, OTB has gluten-free and vegan options and must-sip summer cocktails. Check out their entire menu online!

Baja Bar & Grill

Located in the Fox Chapel Yacht Club Complex, Baja Bar & Grill is more than just a groovy spot with a classic menu that meets almost anyone’s taste buds. It’s a live entertainment space with bands every weekend, and you can rent it for your special occasion!

Put your party outfit on, and head to the grill with a night to remember. Or find yourself there with lunchtime specials and hook yourself up with Baja’s lunch card. Buy three and get the fourth free!

Farmer x Baker (Aspinwall Café)

Located at the Allegheny RiverTrail Park, Farmer x Baker reimagines its menu with creative and delectable vegetable-forward options. Their veggies are locally sourced as much as possible! They operate at special times that include Friday – Sunday from 9am – 2pm.

Stop by for a quick, convenient eat and walk around the various trails, kid-friendly parks, and water activities. Get out and have fun on the Allegheny River! Plus, be sure to check out all the fun, interactive events with the Allegheny RiverTrail Park.
