50 Best Bars near Carnegie

“The bartender, Danielle is personable and professional as is the DJ, Sean (he takes requests, BTW). A late first visit, so I missed the food - kitchen was closed. I'll be returning to try the food and shoot pool; the backroom has a table, dartboard, and a pinball machine. Good vibes from the locals, too.“

“My family goes to Alexions a lot, especially in the summer to sit on the patio. The food and service is always good, we will keep going back!“

“Fun little neighborhood bar!“

“A group of 8 went to celebrate Galentine's. The service was amazing. They checked on us frequently to make everything was good. They played birthday song for someone else and notice we sang and were wishing happy birthday to someone at our table. Boom they brought the hat, a dessert and played the music again for us. We had a memorable evening. Esther was our wait staff I believe. Thank you for taking care of us. Thank you for making our Valentine's fabulous!“

“We’ve been going to Elly’s since we moved here a few years back and it’s a true testament to we need more women owned businesses. The food is killer. The staff is fantastic. The atmosphere has something for everyone. Their food is moderately priced for good portions, and they have amazing specials - $5 happy hour menu and $10 rotating entree special. They just added some new food to the menu with turkey handhelds, weekend breakfast, and Lenten specials on Fridays. I’m ready to come back and try it all. Support local - eat Elly’s.“

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

“Great classic neighborhood bar. Fantastic food and rotating draft selections.“

“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.“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super fun and welcoming atmosphere!! Everyone is lovely, the cocktails are creative and delicious, the food is great, AND the patio out back is awesome!“

“I'd heard about the wings and just had to try them. In my opinion, Buffalo Wings are truly the only thing that is special about food in Pittsburgh. I was not disappointed. They're the best I've had, and they come served in a basket with sauce of the perfect consistency pooled at the bottom. The woman behind the bar somehow takes care of everyone without any help. You could tell that she truly cared about your experience.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

And the drinks are also just as pretty and delicious, with a bunch of of different flavors and combos, they also can craft something for you, but the specials are so varied that you can def find something you like!

Also the staff was great and made sure to check what flavors and strength you would like to steer you in the right direction, would definitely recommend!“

“Great food , great atmosphere“

“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.“

“To start the food was great! As soon as we sat down the service was amazing! Our server Emily was outstanding and knew exactly how to help us. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh.“

“Great little place with excellent food. Friendly bartender and clean bathroom. The ahi tune salad was perfectly cooked🥰“

“Came here on a random night to try some drinks and read a little. Found the spot after a quick little Google map search and was pleasantly surprised by my experience.

Shout-out to who I believe was Angela. She was working bartender, waitress, and busser. She was wonderful despite being insanely busy.

House made ciders were excellent. Pretzels were solid. Atmosphere was wonderful. Will definitely be back with some friends.“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Four points has quickly moved into our favorite brewery to visit in the city. We haven’t had a beer we don’t like and the bartenders have been incredible each time, so kind! Also have appreciated that they’ve been family friendly. Being newly postpartum, you hope to find spaces you used to enjoy that still work for your family - and they have been nothing short of amazing in making us feel we belong. Great atmosphere, beer, and music - can’t go wrong!“

“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!“

“Bishops is the classic local place to go, where strangers feel like family! TV’s for watching sports, TouchTunes for good music, great food and always consistent and full bar! Great service where you’ll be treated with the best local hospitality. Right off the highway in a convenient location“

“Excellent wings and terrific service. They have some unique flavors that other places do not have. Their fresh cut fries are excellent.“

“Good people, good service, good food. Love the place.“

“We won a gift certificate from my favorite non-profit, Hilltop Horizons.org I didn't know I liked Cider until we stopped at the Brewery at Soergels in Wexford. We tasted several samples before we ordered a growler that was perfect for 2 of us. We sat inside as it was a bit windy that day. There is great outside seating as well. There were board games available to play and great views of the farm. We tried the sorbet on the way out. It was delicious!! We also picked up a 6 pack to enjoy later. This would be a great place for family fun or just for 2. I love to find local small businesses that support each other and the community! We will definitely be back.“

“Just started going to the Theme a couple of weeks ago. We were looking for a change of pace and more for our money. The Theme did not disappoint, great drink specials & daily specials. Food is great especially the sandwiches and pizza.“

“Really enjoyed my visit to Porky's. The small bar atmosphere gives it a relaxed, welcoming feel right when you walk in. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to settle into and enjoy.

The food was excellent—everything came out fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you’d hope for from a spot like this. You can tell they take pride in what they’re serving.

Great vibe, great food, and definitely a place worth going back to.“

“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!“

“The Goldmark has long been one of our favorite bars in Pittsburgh with the best DJs, and it turns out it’s also a fantastic place to host a private party! We recently hosted a surprise 30th birthday party there, and absolutely everyone had a great time. The staff is incredible; Nicole and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. They were so accommodating with our surprise setup, letting us arrive early to get ready. Plus, being able to leave our extra food and supplies there overnight meant we could just enjoy the rest of our night without worrying about cleanup. Highly recommend for a fun night out or a private event!“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Myself and the good ole pals made the endeavor to treck to Gooskis bar 🚶. Would not recommend walking here 🚷. That being said, the pirogies were worthy of my highest applause 👏. It is definitely an “environment”, but a good bite nonetheless 🙂‍↕️.“

“best fish sandwich around!“

“Pearl was outstanding and very accommodating. Definitely a great asset to the establishment.“

“Words can’t explain how special our experience has been at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. We were warmly welcomed by Isabella and Bassi, two of the sweetest hostesses I have ever met. They showed us to our table which included one of the finest views of Pittsburgh. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 8th year anniversary and our server Sydney truly made it special for us. The food was exquisite and each dish brought out looked like pure art. The crab cake (suggested by Sydney) was off the charts, some of the best I’ve had. Chef Dee really out did himself as our food was spectacular. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion and would recommend to all of my friends and family!“

“If you're seeking a neighborhood bar in Carrick that offers Monday night 50-cent wings, boasts a historic charm, and exudes a "Cheers"-like atmosphere, Sophie's Saloon is a standout choice. Located within Carrick, this bar is steeped in local history and community spirit. The ambiance at Sophie's Saloon is reminiscent of the classic neighborhood bar, familiar faces, a cozy setting, and a sense of community that makes everyone feel like a regular.“

“What a warm welcome! Naomi was superb and the food was delicious! And so filling! Nothing like this at home in Roc, NY. Glad we left the resort for the local engagement and hidden gem of McGaheysville. Couldn’t leave without their merch! Charlene & Greg“

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

“Awesome dive bar, cute decor. Bar staff is friendly and added custom touches to our drinks! Juke box with excellent music crankin’. We didn’t have the opportunity to eat - but definitely recommend the drinks!!

Parking: Parking can be a little tricky, fold in your mirrors.“
