Parlay Lounge Guide and Review
Located in Pittsburgh, Parlay Lounge stands out not just as an appendage to a casino, but as a highly-rated lounge, bar, and restaurant offering a superb experience. While it's conveniently attached to a casino and situated within a Hyatt Place, making it an ideal stop before or after a gaming session, many reviewers highlight it as a destination in itself for quality food, drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Atmosphere & Ambiance ✨
Guests consistently praise Parlay Lounge for its laid-back atmosphere. The interior features a comfortable mix of booths, tables, and a well-appointed bar, perfect for casual dining or an evening out. A significant draw is the outdoor area, complete with a huge fire pit, which provides a beautiful and warm setting even in cold weather, allowing patrons to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Reviewers describe it as a great place to "kick back" and relax.
Culinary Delights 🍣🍕
Parlay Lounge truly shines in its food and drink offerings, with several items receiving high praise:
- Exceptional Sushi: A major highlight is the in-house sushi chef, preparing some of the "tastiest" and "always fresh" sushi, making it a must-try for visitors.
- Delicious Pizzas: The menu boasts popular pizza options, including the highly recommended buffalo chicken pizza and the unique, customer-favorite pickle pizza.
- Flavorful Appetizers: Guests have enjoyed appetizers like the "flavorful" buffalo chicken dip and the satisfying hummus & veggie wrap.
- Great Drinks: The drinks menu is also noted as being "great" and contributing to the overall positive experience.
- Note on Wings: While most food items receive rave reviews, one customer did express dissatisfaction with the buffalo wings, describing them as "pretty bad."
Outstanding Service 🤝
The staff at Parlay Lounge consistently receives accolades for being friendly, accommodating, and providing great service, even during busy or "short staffed" periods. A particular shout-out was given to Sean, a bartender/waiter, for always going out of his way to ensure customers have a great experience. While one recent review mentioned issues with forgotten items (fries and cheesecake) and partially seasoned fries during a takeout order, the overwhelming sentiment points to attentive and excellent service.
Events & Convenience 🗓️
Beyond daily dining, Parlay Lounge is also suitable for holding events, with one reviewer noting that planning and communication for their event were "simple and easy." Its strategic location within a Hyatt Place and its attachment to a casino and food court positions it as a "best-value Hyatt place", offering a comprehensive entertainment and dining experience in one convenient location, making it an ideal spot to "stop in before heading to the casino or just for a bite to eat!"

However my favorite is the sushi! It’s always fresh and a must if you stop by!Service is always great despite being short staffed at times.

Nice bar with live sushi bar and a good menu. Was here for the inaugural Trivia Wednesday which was fun. The buffalo chicken dip was a flavorful appetizer and the hummus & veggie wrap was satisfying.This Hyatt place, with this lounge and an attached casino and food court is simply one of the best-value Hyatt places out there 👍🏼
