30 Best Pubs in Pittsburgh

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“Visiting Pittsburgh over the weekend and couldn’t miss our Buckeyes vs TTUN. Mike’s Beer Bar was recommended, and it was hands down one of the best game day bar experiences we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was incredible, drink menu (both on tap and cans) showing a plethora of choices to satisfy anyone, and great food. The staff was second to none and very friendly as well. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great food. I reccomend it for the german cuisine. Gotta try the saurbrauten, but my fave is the kielbasa“

“My most American trait is that I eat more burgers than any other food. That said, the bacon cheeseburger here is simply the best I have ever had in my life. It's definitely my favorite burger in Pittsburgh. It is a 9.5/10 or better nearly every time. The grainy mustard and mayo is genius. The fries are also great. Service is typically solid even when they're busy.“

“Great Food and Atmosphere, Some Service Concerns I recently moved to the Braddock Hills area and was excited to revisit this spot, which used to be Folie’s a few years back. The food here is absolutely delicious, and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite, enjoy a margarita, and relax. That said, I’ve had a few experiences with a particular staff member that were concerning. While most of the team has been friendly and welcoming, However, barmaid (JESS who served me February the 7th around 1:49 p.m.) has been noticeably short and dismissive on a couple of occasions. For example, there were times when she rolled her eyes or responded curtly when I greeted her, even though previous visits had been pleasant. I even had an instance where my drink was placed at the very edge of the bar in a way that felt intentionally difficult. I did call to bring this to the manager’s attention to address it, no and she allegedly answered the phone as the manager, and to my experience the manager is a gentleman as well as the owner. I wanted to share it here as well. I’ve spoken with other patrons who’ve noted that her personality can sometimes affect the overall experience. While I understand everyone can have an off day, consistent professionalism and courtesy are essential in customer service, especially in a neighborhood gem like this one. Overall, I truly enjoy this restaurant—the food, ambiance, and most of the staff make it a wonderful place. I hope this feedback can help ensure all customers feel welcome and respected while maintaining the great atmosphere that makes this place special.You just never know who you're serving and your establishment 🌿 Community Advocate #nobulliesallowed“

“Went in for dinner tonight with my husband for a date night and it was awesome! All of the girls working were super friendly! Alexa was super sweet and did a great job! Good conversation and awesome vibes! Will definitely be back!“

“they got busch and i like to have busch“

“I ate before arriving, so I didn’t have any of the food. But the kitchen was pumping out orders the entire time I was there. Drinks were generous with alcohol. Bartender was nice. Atmosphere was light, like I came with one friend felt like I knew everyone else I encountered. Good music choices were made on the jukebox. I enjoyed myself.“

“Awesome local spot to hang before or after a Pens game or any other time! Really friendly staff and patrons. Plenty of drink options at a decent price. There’s a bar upstairs and down. Along with a gaming room and an outdoor patio. Definitely worth a visit!“

“If you want an authentic Irish experience, this is the place. Great service. Great music. And, of course, best pour of Guinness in the city. Don’t sleep on the Harp!“

“Great food, great atmosphere! Visited twice so far and plan to go back soon! Moving down to the area from up by Lake Erie and excited to have found a spot nearby that is chill with great food and drink specials. Food came out very fast both times even though they were busy each visit. Wednesday Wing night was definitely a must! Just know you can’t take any of the wings with you on this night so don’t get more than you can eat! Tons of flavors and our waitress was super nice and helpful!“

“Our first time in Pittsburgh visiting from St. Louis to watch some baseball. Food and atmosphere was amazing… Service was great. We highly recommend. Dre was the bartender and she was so good. The Pittsburgh cheesesteak was delicious.!“
