50 Best Bars near Braddock

“Best kept secret in Pittsburgh. Downstairs is an inviting speakeasy atmosphere. A few steps up and you're in a large-yet-comfy greatroom - complete with fireplace, couches and two hugescreen tvs, great for Steeler games. Then there's the second floor which is perfect for parties, catered events - there's also comedy nights and markets there. Danielle always has something going on upstairs and down!“

“…… you should have to pass a sanity test before you are allowed to leave a review because being barred from fairways is pretty mf hard to accomplish but if it’s said it’s meant and it’s always for a reason but it’s okay stay mad my man this is for sure how you get back in 😂“

“Saturday afternoon jam session with some of the best Musicians in the area. 3 pm-6pm“

“burger was fantastic! can't beat the Tuesday deal“

“Great comedy show! Amazing stage and fantastic crowd!“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere here! ✨ It was my first time stopping by, and the overall vibe was great — relaxed, friendly, and full of good energy. The people around were easygoing, which made the place feel welcoming right away 😊.

One of the best parts was the drinks. They were very affordable 🍹 and the pours were definitely generous, which is always a nice surprise. The cocktails were made well and tasted great, so they definitely did not disappoint.

I also heard from a few people that their chicken is really good, so that’s something I’m planning to try the next time I visit 🍗. If it’s as good as the drinks, I’m sure it’ll be worth it!

Overall, it was a fun first experience with good vibes, good people, and solid drinks. I’d definitely come back again to hang out and explore more of the menu.“

“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This bar slaps. The bartenders are all super chill and knowledgeable. The menu is super interesting, with balanced and unexpected cocktails that are truly impressive. You can tell the drinks have a lot of love for the craft behind their recipes. Can get a little crowded/loud on busy nights but still worth it. 10/10 would recommend sitting at the bar with a couple friends and trying as much on the menu as you can.“

“My husband and my mom threw me a 40th birthday party at The Monkey Bar. We had the huge porch to ourselves, wonderful wait staff, and the management was great to work with! Highly recommend looking into this place for events - truly perfect evening!!“

“Great bar, especially on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights“

“Delicious meal in a small local tavern. The Italian wedding soup was very good! My wife had a very good blackened chicken salad & I had a good rib sandwich. Indoor & outdoor seating were available, but we ate inside to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere inside. Parking is available in a gravel lot behind the bar.“

“We drive 40 minutes just to go here! The food is delicious and service has always been amazing! Would highly recommend!“

“This place has an AMAZING whiskey selection. Plus the atmosphere is great, the bar tenders are super attentive and it’s just an all around great place.“

“Excellent fish, great top-shelf drinks and volunteers that can’t be beat. We try to make them all!“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“Always a good vibe with great service and cool grown & sexy crowd!“

“I ate tonight at Bablyon and it was the best Middle Eastern food I've had in years. I ate with a group and we shared a tableful of delicious food that were prepared terrifically. I'll be back!“

“HA the staff would probably like a 1 star review; they only want to serve the unwashed masses.

Or, 5 star general and 1 star detail! IYKYK.

The iconic Pittsburgh dive bar, my fave.

Are there special offers? Dunno; u$3 High Lifes are pretty reasonable.“

“Just walking the lane after dinner and stopped in to browse. Surprise!! Great curated collection of beer/ale to go upstairs. Don't skip the tasting room downstairs. You can even take into the movie theater next door. Really like this joint.“

“Good ambiance, events that actually get me to leave my cave. Friendly staff.“

“We got the Lent special and I am allergic to fish (not shellfish) and they opened a new fryer to cook my food separate. Nowhere has ever done that for me. We will be back!“

“I love The Dog Penn for so many reasons. It's a safe dog park (vax requirements and scamp counselors), the owners are community minded (work with local businesses and rescues), and the atmosphere is incredible. Last night, I got a flat tire when I was leaving The Dog Penn. The owners did not hesitate to come outside and help me (well😅 being honest, do it for me) change my tire. They taught me a few things about my car and made sure I was safe to get on the road. Beyond the many things I love about the venue itself, I love the ownership and the way they love and take care of their community. If you haven't had a chance to check this place out yet, you absolutely have to!“

“Love this place and will go back“

“Came from 2 hours away for a comedy show.
I love that you can reserve seating. I love that it's rows of chairs instead of tables. It was a little hot for me, but I run hot. The drinks were reasonable and delivered to our seats with the use of a QR code! The atmosphere is vintage awesome. I would totally be a member if I lived closer.
Parking is on the difficult side, but we were able to find a decent spot.“

“To Randy Kovac, All I have to say is BS, to your review, and how could you see the bartender ignoring your call?? Lmao. If you was there and needed cigarettes, no matter what time or whoever was there, employees or customers. And needed cigarettes, you would have received cigarettes even if you didn't have any money. So why don't you say anything about you abusing dogs? Or what about someone saying something about you that's not true on the internet?? Wouldn't like that would you.. and the animal abuse is true. Ask WTAE, CHANNEL 4, WITH THE ONLY HELICOPTER IN PITTSBURGH“

“Popped in before going to o2, had the jerk chicken burger, I have to say it's without doubt the best chicken burger I've ever eaten.“

“Great Staff !!!! Leslie is the best Great food great clientele Overall a fantastic place been going there for 45 yrs!!!!!“

“I’ve loved Carls for 20 years!“

“Wanted to make sure I wrote this review bc of my amazing experience. First, to get this out of the way… really cool vibe, great beers at great prices, and a great spot for local music. I went recently to see Sacred Monsters who were in town from Philly. It was the lead singer, KP’s birthday and we wanted to do something special for her. Long story short, Toy is amazing. Not only did she help with the surprise but she… on her own… ordered cupcakes for KP since I couldn’t find a cake that met her dietary restrictions. She was so helpful and enthusiastic about helping. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Great vibes, great staff, best little wacky hole in the wall. So much fun“

“Had the Ruben sandwich 🥪 with fresh cut fries! poppers were good! my fiance had Italian hoagie with homemade chips! Everything was delicious. friendly service. we will be back! cook did awesome!“

“One of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Amazing food. And customer service.“

“This is a nice venue with top quality music acts, very friendly employee's and very clean. There is a small parking lot and street parking. Very minimal noise level. They don't serve food but everyone goes to a place two doors down and brings it back. I highly recommend Moondogs!“

“Such a great neighborhood bar. Hands down some of the best bartenders around. I was there on Sunday and it was a good time. Day shift and night shift bartenders were awesome!! My friend just moved to Millvale so I'll definitely be coming back.“

“Could not of asked for a better turn out. Service was great, fast, most important correct, food was excellent, when we ran out and I asked for more to be made it was made quickly. Food came out hot and all tasted excellent. Everyone at the party commented how nice the party turned out and how good the food was.“

“The food was really good, the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the staff was friendly and pleasant. It’s always nice to find a place where you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. We had a great experience and will definitely be back! Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“My friend Larry, who is a bartender at a Shadyside bar, took me here once when we were in Oakland. LOVED IT! Great atmosphere, great drinks and Gene is wonderful. Interesting mix of Pitt upperclassmen and regular people from the area. Every time I happen to be in Oakland now, I make a point of dropping in for a drink (or five). Highly recommend for a cool bar!“

“My wife's friend had a little party there and we had a nice time and the fried chicken was on point so I definitely want to thank the cook. The drinks were pretty good too but if there was one thing they could improve on it is making Margaritas which weren't too good but I will still give 5 stars ?“

“After mentioning to someone that I'd had dinner at the cage, they asked me how it was and I said: Same as it ever was, which is to say, good food, cheap drinks, enigmatic service, a little rough around the edges, and my favorite bar/place to hang out and chat. Never change, the cage. ❤️“

“Great neighborhood joint. Smoking allowed, cigars are welcome. Try the meatballs! Delicious. Great place to watch a game, with several big screen tv’s. Host Francis Pope will make sure you enjoy your evening.“

“Awesome food and excellent service“

“Went for the first time, last night with the Deutschtown Bar Crawl. The vibe was so cool, the staff was extremely kind, and the Rosalita house cocktail is probably the best drink I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!!!“

“probably my favorite bar on earth....and I own a popular bar. every place needs a bar like this...“

“We had a rental place down on Sycamore and we stopped here for a evening of libations and pool table fun 🤩 the bartender was great and the drinks and service were excellent. Don’t hesitate to stop here a great Pittsburgh Bar. We stopped here several more times during our stay. Also good bar food. A cash only establishment“

“We brought a group of ~25 people after our wedding reception and reserved their back room space. The space was clean and perfect and we had so much fun!!! This was the perfect spot to keep the party going. The music was on point and we appreciated the DJ shouting us out too. Also the best bartenders and service! Would book this space for a group again for sure. Thank you!!“

“Tonight 10/3/26 Karissa and Monique are working. April came in a little bit later just to hang out also a great Bartender. All the girls are awesome quick and their feet service is fast. Plenty of TVs to come watch the Steelers lose to the Browns or watch the pens win! During the summer, you might also catch the pirate win game!!! Overall this is a place to come and hang out meet some new friends“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Great prices for the beer and they have the coolest staff and a pool table in the back! Definitely one of my new favorites!“

“friendly bartenders that make you feel welcome and inexpensive drinks....not open super late like traditional bars (most likely cause of the location they are in)....pretty decent pub fare menu also that is good go here since bowl next door but the whole package makes the trip worth it“
