We all need to escape the craziness and stress of life sometimes. Alas, we can’t always run away to a tropical island to sit in the soft sand and listen to the ocean waves with a cool drink in one hand and a tasty dish in the other. If you can’t sit ocean side, plan a visit to this tropical restaurant in Pittsburgh instead.

Hidden Harbor, a self-described tiki bar with a modern influence, beckons those who want to sit back, relax, and enjoy a bite to eat and a tall, cool drink.

Browse the menu, starting with the drinks. Opt for one of the house cocktails, such as the Cat Eye Cobbler, the Rum Cannonball, or the Greenjacket, the latter of which consists of white rum, lime, cryo-muddled mint, and sugar.

Or, choose a shared drink with your best mate. Both the Jaguar Shark and the Oh My Guava (O.M.G.) are ideal for two.
