Gullifty's Restaurant   

best pie on earth, have eaten their pie's many times

My husband and I have eaten at Gullifty's several times over the past few years. While we have never been overly impressed with the entree selections (the food is nothing I would call special), their dessert menu is excellent. I have never had a bad dessert. The ten pound apple pie is delicious. If you are a chocolate lover, you have to try the 5th Dimension Cake. I have ordered it twice and never been able to finish more than half in one sitting. Their dessert portions are definitely generous. We have seen a few jazz performances and been generally pleased. However, once they were a bit crowded and despite the fact that my husband and I were there alone trying to have a nice evening out, the manager came over and pushed a whole bunch of tables up against our table and sat 8 other people practically on top of us! The manager claimed that they needed to do that because it was difficult to see the stage from some of the other locations in the restaurant, but I think it was because he didn't want to turn away a group of college guys who were there just to eat. If it weren't for the desserts, we probably wouldn't go back, but their desserts really are the best.

Pittsburgh's Worst Jazz Venue, Music to ones ear is merely subjective, however, compairing and contrasting the type of Jazz that is being played is not what I would call "good Jazz/Blues music". The synthasized keyboard and the terriable accustics do not do justice for the current stage performers. Granted this venue gives starving musicans a place to practice. I would not go rushing off to here just the music. For the food, which is just so so. to the somewhat amusing waitstaft that I found to be very unprofessional the night I was there. I know I wont be back!!!

Gullifty's is by far the best Jazz venue this side of Harlem. You can hear live music 5 nights a week. We walked in on a Saturday night and heard world renowned trumpet player Sean Jones.... he was killin". Wed night is a jam session hosted by Kenny Blake. We also saw Larry Coryell with Paul Wertico and Mark Egan one night. The new menu is by far much better than the old with new items like bbq ribs, pork shanks and pulled pork and corn bread to die for..... The sauce is the best and award winning via the "Emeril live show" For a great night out check out this old but brand new restaurant / jazz club
