in the Original Oyster House, if oysters are the reason you're going. Beers are cheap though. So grab a beer, and for oysters go instead to Wholey's Fish Market. It's in the Strip District, about a mile and a half from downtown, east on Penn Avenue. Though it's a fish market/distributor, they have a good kitchen. Not only will they shuck/steam/cook whatever fish you purchase fresh--for immediate consumption, they also have good prepared food. https://wholey.com/kitchen-menu/
And if you happen to be in The Strip around breakfast time, Deluca's is a couple blocks down the street from Wholey's. It's the 2nd most popular (but best) breakfast institution in the city, Pamela's is the first (but it has multiple locations). It's basically just a diner, and I can't pin-point why it's so good, but it is.
Those few blocks in The Strip District have arguably the best food in Pittsburgh.
And as a Phillies fan, I can admit that the Pirates have the best ball park in the National League.
