"Gooski's crackles with the kinetic energy of a dive bar that makes its nut in volume, not markup. The bartenders command the dark, smoky room with the no-nonsense authority of French bistro waiters, able to discern orders over the punk-rock jukebox playlist competing with whatever game is on TV. It's plunked on a steep street in the echt-Pittsburgh neighborhood of Polish Hill, which will never appear gentrified even if it becomes so. "If you needed Yelp to find this place, you don't belong here" is among the passive-aggressive edicts chalked on the wall, but once you're in, you belong." [Esquire]
