Wahlburgers debuted in 2011 in Hingham, Mass., boasts a fun, casual, music-filled atmosphere and is the subject of an A&E reality show.
Bar options include adult frappes, cocktails, wines and beers, including the signature Wahlbrewski, a custom, unfiltered Pale Ale by Harpoon Brewery in Boston.
"My brothers and I look forward to our first restaurant in Pittsburgh. I have enormous respect for the city and its heritage. We wish you happy holidays and welcome you to Wahlburgers," Mark Wahlberg says in a release.
Open daily for lunch and dinner, the restaurant uses a split service concept in which patrons can choose full-table service, quick-serve at the counter or takeout.
