50 Best Sports Bars in Pittsburgh

“First time ever experiencing a twin peaks. Many of my friends and family have raved about other locations so when we saw one on our travels we decided to stop in. Here is my review in honesty: I know today was a big game day but we came in early to avoid that and potentially have a nice lunch. We told them that it was our first time, we weren’t told we had to scan for the menu until we looked down and saw that. Service was prompt but their customer service attitude was poor. When our food arrived the girl who brought it placed it on the other side of the table to where we had to grab it and place it in front of us. Our waitress seemed drab and seemed like we were wasting her time which isn’t exactly the best when someone is coming there the first time. Now the food itself was great, the decor was lovely put together but they need to work with their staff on being more personable. They weren’t smiling, talkative, they were in their phones, bartenders were complaining loudly. Honestly I felt like I was at a low budget Hooters mixed with the attitude of a Dicks. I would absolutely recommend this place for the food but not for the customer service.“

“This is a nice place to go out for a grub and shoot pool . They have two pool tables. Their menu have good foods listed and at reasonable prices. There are several skills video games that pays in real money.

Kid-friendliness: Not exactly

Wheelchair accessibility: May have difficulty navigating in the building .“

“Great bar with great people and really good pool“

“My wife and I recently moved to Pittsburgh and had been here before and had a wonderful lunch. Today we decided to expand our experience during Restaurant week and get something besides just a burger type lunch. We are both individuals that are easily satisfied but quite picky and thus hard to impress. Well we were both very impressed with every level of service, presentation, and food quality. Love the cooking on stone concept and results are amazing. Every portion of the experience was wonderful. Highest quality of ingredients and flavor, and the employees were fantastic. We're already making plans for a return trip.“

“Great old time bar... lived right around the corner on William for decades. I stop here every time we're back in town. My wife and her two sisters both worked here in the 80's. Nice neighborhood except chic fillet wrappers from the guy next-door“

“I enjoyed my lunch. The food came out hot fresh and delicious and my server was wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning again.“

“Love this place. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing experience!! Cameron was the best curling instructor and definitely knew the game!!!“

“We love this place; great food! Thank you for NOT supporting MAGA Republican Scumbags.“

“Yesterday early evening order was delivered quickly. The 2 sandwiches were very good. However, we were very disappointed with the french fries that were very soft & greasy. They even made the sandwiches somewhat greasy. We would rather eat crispy french fries, which are way better. Just wanted to let you know that we will still order the sandwiches. Thank you.“

“We had a wonderful lunch. It had been years since we were there. Our server was so GOOD! and she was running the bar, and running tables and God only knows what else! I apologize I can’t recall her name but she was lovely. All we wanted was a beer battered fish (they offer a regular breaded version too)…. We both ordered the sandwich with ff’s and coleslaw. Now they had other sides, macaroni and cheese - soup - hush puppies, etc. not lying it was absolutely fantastic. They buttered and toasted the bun. It was so delicious! normally, I will order my fish on a plate or remove the bun, but I could not handle it. I had to eat this bun.! . We had zero complaints and the price was just really reasonable especially right now with everything else going - people in my area are charging $17 for a fish ! we highly enjoyed it thank you!“

“Ok ok ok lets start here, the wings are amazing 👏 🤩 🙌 I've been to some places and this place rocks come on brookline don't be scared trust me the wings are fire I'm sure the Quality of the rest of their food is the same.“

“A fun setup! Our first time at this location. We were seated upstairs. Was definitely a little snug for our party, but food was amazing as always with Primanti. My only complaint was that we may have been overlooked a little, not being on the main floor. Drinks took a bit to get refilled. Other than that, a nice experience. Would return!“

“My wife Colleen and I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Shenanigans Bar and Grill for the incredible support and hospitality they showed during the fundraiser for our terminally ill great-nephew, Jon. From the moment we began planning the event, the owner Brad welcomed us with open arms and generously allowed us to use the facility for such a meaningful cause.
The entire staff went above and beyond to help make the event a tremendous success. The bartenders, servers, cooks, and support staff were all professional, hardworking, accommodating, and genuinely compassionate throughout the entire day. Their kindness and work ethic did not go unnoticed, and so many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything was handled.and how good the food was.
It is rare to find a business that combines such excellent service with such genuine care for the community. We are deeply appreciative of the generosity, warmth, and support shown by everyone at Shenanigans. Thank you for helping create such a memorable and successful event for Jon and our family. We could not have asked for a better experience. Sincerely. Scott Hirsh“

“Almost a hour to get food, others seated after us waited and served. Another table close by also complained of wait time. we were given the excuse that a large party came in ( not true) and large number of take outs (?). Not sure what type of meat tge burger was but was totally tasteless, took home and threw away. Most disappointing meal ever!! Jefferson Hills/Pleasant Hills“

“Great music venue beautiful bar 5/5 in my book“

“We went here on St. Patrick's Day (observed) Saturday. The were packed and the owner took such great care of us finding us a table and the making sure we had a table in the room with our friend's band playing, since he could tell that's where we wanted to be.

The menu was trimmed down a lot for the holiday, which makes sense. I'll have to go back when I can try the mac & cheese I saw on the normal menu.

Service was great - especially given how busy they were. The food was good and my drink was wonderful.

Great venue for seeing a band. I look forward to returning.“
