Convenient downtown location with a nice modern open space upstairs to hang out with friends. Decent music selection with a mature weekend crowd. Not overly crowded . Good selection of beverages.
My wife loves it here. Cool spot to get quick drinks and good appetizers before the show. Love the brick interior.
Service was great; waitress was friendly . Really enjoyed our cocktails (fathers g&t). Grilled cheese was good with soup of the day (mushroom Brie ).
Stop by and try our new food menu, featuring a Smoked Duck Salad and Stuffed Pork Chop . Not too hungry, try our Olive or Twist signature Calamari ! Delicious!
Dark Knight martini : Hendricks Gin , elderflower liquor , creme de violets, lemon juice
Great place to try a variety of martinis . They have a great list of creative places. Their buffalo chicken dip is my favorite in Pittsburgh.
Every time I come here I feel increasingly off-put by most of the bartenders . Awesome martinis but go to Redbeards next door for a more welcoming vibe.
Martini spot super dope perfect peach and lemon drop chocolate pretzel martini is kinda saltier

Amazing service and great atmosphere. Try the Cake Batter martini ! The food is very reasonably priced.
We love the comfy décor - leather lounge couches and exposed brick - and no one makes a martini like Olive and Twist. - CBS Pittsburgh Read more
The service is outstanding! Get the tomato basil soup and crab cakes . They're delicious 😍
Amazing nachos , and a "Vesper " cocktail make a great night!
Saw Hines Ward here! Took a picture with him too! Also, best ginger lemon drop martini ever!!!
Lemon grass and nuts and berries martinis are awesome.
14 new tasty martinis for spring! Also new items on the lunch and dinner menu !! Yum!
Move to the second level to have a bit more space.
Fun spot downtown! The best martini list !
Their Buffalo Chicken Dip is fantastic.
Key Lime Pie , Orange Dreamsicle , and Vesper Martinis are awesome.
Head upstairs - great atmosphere.
Happy hour Monday through Friday 4-6.
The short manager is a solid dude. He really took care of our party.
Good Martinis ! Try the upstairs area . Kind of tiny, but very good atmosphere.
Ask them to make you the Buffalo Chicken salad w french fries . Amazing
The martinis are clearly the main attraction here but if you are more beer oriented try the Sam Adams Oatmeal .
Incredible seasonal martini menu .
Make sure to go upstairs
If you're here during Wicked, try the Wicked martini ..tastes like a peppermint patty.
Great Makers Mark Manhattan !
An incredibly boring & unsatisfying meal. The chicken masala was just smothered in sauce with hardly any flavor. The garlic potatoes weren't. The iced tea I sent back; looked & tasted like the water.
New favorite martini baked Alaska mmmmm
Good cocktails , but no rye whiskey ? If you want anything traditional go somewhere else.
The cab sav on their list is a little jammy, but it's not offensive
It used to be better, not sure what happened. The food menu is a mess. Stick to cocktails , move on for good eats !
Pumpkin spice martini , to die for!
Live laugh love
Great variety of drinks. However... Service at the bad sucks!!!!! Do not let AMY wait on you!!!
Orange dreamcicle so good!
The singer/piano player tonight makes me want to shoot myself
Great martini list . Try the upstairs .
2nd floor is the best. Try the Snap Dragon Meritage.
Limoncello lemon drop yum
Key Lime Martini !
Great martinis and good music tonight
Bartenders upstairs are not very good.
