is both welcoming and pleasing
to the eye. While the signature,
architecturally crooked stairs never
fail to become an interesting topic of
conversation over drinks at Andys, the intimate
lobby bar, they pave the way for fl.2.
Both bars’ cocktail menus are rooted in using the
freshest of ingredients found in Pittsburgh. The
list includes locally sourced spirits and brews, as
well as small batch estate wines that pair naturally.
Whether enjoying drinks paired with the weekly
live jazz performance at Andys, or heading upstairs
to the outstanding fl.2 restaurant, Fairmont
Pittsburgh offers unique local tastes throughout.
Fl. 2’s vibrant and inviting doors opened not more
than a year ago and has become the destination
for food lovers to gather. The fresh and familiar
setting, envisioned by renowned Barcelona
designer, Lázaro Rosa-Violán, makes for the perfect
dining spot in the city. Warm hues and cool blues
blend together across the interior design of the
restaurant, playing with the contrasting vintage
metallic finishes and the unexpected modern
woodwork details.
