Cinderlands

After a slight hiccup coming in hot and using the facilities, we had the most enjoyable of experiences with their offerings and brews. Their sandwiches are on point - from the spinach offering, to the turkey, to the grill cheese- it was all spectacular...Probably the one place I would make a return trip to...

Last week I stopped into Long Story Short to check it out since the big change. I ordered the burger (w/o mayo) and it was one of my favorite Pittsburgh burgers. The bun was soft (and not dry!), the patties were cooked just right, and the two beers (Hahps and Squish) were on point. It was a pretty busy night and the service was really friendly and fast. I will definitely be back.

Sandwiches absolutely exploding with flavor in both traditional and creative varieties. We got the Curry sandwich, Porky sandwich, and Pizza tots. If I could buy the pickles straight off their Porky sandwich in bulk I would, because that sandwich was the clear highlight. They should also absolutely add a curry salad or curry tots to their menu because their butter curry was quite good.

Yumm! Was so excited to try these new sammie’s and they did not disappoint. The vegan sandwich, Broccoli, was delicious and filling! My friends all enjoyed their hot chicken, tuna and veggie sammies as well. Spices on the tater tots were great. Just what we needed on an easy Sunday morning. Intention is everything and this place was clearly thought out. Nostalgia from the games and posters and fridge magnet menu, tasteful black and gold tinder spirit with a variety of interesting art. Could see myself spending time in the back with friends, made me feel like I was a kid and in college at the same time. Loved it! Would recommend for your sandwich vibey spot with plant based options!!

Been here a few times since the update. Vibe is a bit different than the laid-back, chill space it was before. It is more like the standard bar vibe now. It has some cool arcade games and pinball machines upstairs and a pool table in the back. Still has all the delicious Cinderlands beers. Also 3 dollar Lil Cinder all-day everyday is clutch. The sandos are tasty, The Jamie was great and pretty sizable. You won't go hungry. 3 dollar tots are also solid and a good choice.

In the running for the best lunch spot in Lawrenceville. Really creative, hearty sandwiches and cinderlands’ dependably good beer. I had the pulled pork and tried the Italian and give both a 10/10. The Italian was a serious standout in the neighborhood - a lot of other places nearby have one, but nothing like this. With the new hangout-friendly vibe, the pool table, and pinball machines, its definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to on the regular. For other pinball fans, they’ve got Avengers and the limited edition Stranger Things right now.

Great little neighborhood brewpub (Cinderlands has multiple locations in the city) with a great bar and a relaxed vibe. Food menu has great options from nibbles to fancy options. Lots of Cinderlands beers on tap, from Saisons to lagers to IPAs and stouts. All range from very good to sublime. Great service. Relaxed atmosphere compared to their rowdier neighbor behind them. Photo of the bar was blurry so I didn’t post it.
