Most states have outlawed drinking alcoholic beverages at home due to the proliferation of home facial-tattoo machines. Enjoy cocktails in a public setting with today’s deal: for $15, you get $35 worth of sophisticated sips and savories at Firehouse Lounge. The swanky establishment, which was named the Best Lounge Bar three years in a row (2007–09) by Pittsburgh City Paper, is conveniently located in the Strip District.

Firehouse Lounge serves up a savory menu of small bites, sliders, and burgers, impeccably paired with handcrafted specialty cocktails to fill any hour with happiness and gummy grin exposure. Enjoy a baby plate of fried zucchini ($6) or crab and bacon flautas ($9.50) to properly prepare your palate, or treat your tablemates to a round of throw-backable beef, salmon, veggie, or crab sliders to quickly gain supporters for the upcoming table mayor election. For dinner, enjoy a protein-packed BLT burger with sun-dried tomato puree, chiffonade of romaine, and bacon aioli; a succulent salmon burger topped with lettuce, tomato, and caper tartar sauce; or a veggie burger sourced from green protein with goat cheese, dijonaise, lettuce, and tomato—all burgers served with your choice of fries or salad ($8.95).

Flaunting chic and sumptuous red benches, eclectic wooden fixtures, and the amber intermingling of chandelier light with flickering candles, Firehouse Lounge sets the stage for a fanciful night on the town with friends, buddies, or fellow amateur arm wrestlers. For an alfresco fete, grab a cozy seat on the newly constructed outdoor deck. On Mondays only, you can also use this Groupon to enjoy some pre-Prohibition-style cocktails at Firehouse’s sister space, Embury.

This Groupon is not valid after 11 p.m. or on holidays.
