The very best Polish food

by Billjr

I got a chance to meet the Frankowski family that own and operate the tavern. Nicer folks you won't find.

When I asked about the perogies I was told that they are made by an aunt of the owner.

My gawd! Melt in your mouth, the likes that I have never had before. (a little sour cream on the side). AHHH!

I am a big guy and the Polish Platter was more food then I could handle.

B. B. T. is yet another reason to visit the city of Pittsburgh.

• Pros: Homemade perogies that melt in your mouth

No Drinking Water !!! RUDE & Horrible Service

by BrewsChews

Bloomfield Bridge Tavern does not serve free tap water.

They only offer bottled water for $4.50. Employees are rude, judgmental, and discriminative. Go somewhere else where they will actually treat you like human being.

• Pros: Music
• Cons: No Tap Water

Showcasing the area's local talents and serving up some interesting food and chatter.

The Scene
Gaudy "Dingus Day" Polish pride and political candidate signs are painted on the side, which serve notice at the end of the bridge as a gateway to the neighborhood of Bloomfield. Customers might find owner Steve behind the bar, with brother Carl checking IDs at the door and father Stan holding court with local Democratic Committee politicos at a window table.

The Vibe
In the evening, tables are removed from the small stage and the tavern rings with the sounds of local music: folk and acoustic on Tuesdays; drum and bass on Wednesdays; various alternative rock bands on the weekends. On Thursdays, the BBT has $1 bottles of imported beer between 11am-midnight, but if you insist on opening the beer yourself, it's $2.

Polish Platter...Try It!

by Eric_Schweiss

I was able to spend a quiet Saturday Afternoon at the BBT with some Polish gentelmen from Mercer County. We very much enjoyed the food and service and will return as often as we can. We missed meeting the owners and look forward to this. May I highly reccomend the "Polish Platter"! A taste of the homeland made to perfection!

• Pros: Great tasting food, Nice atmospere
• Cons: None
