50 Best Bars near Carnegie

“Good Food, Awesome Staff, the amount of pictures of the owner was a touch I found odd, and something called "CumbBurger" had me laughing.Extra star given to offset Karen's one star because she brought in a party of 8 when they were already busy.This place is small, I would never try to bring more than 6 people at once, even then you would need 2 tables.Cumb, you seem like a fun guy, maybe even fun enough to bring in more business by just being there to talk to, but it kind of felt like a museum dedicated to your accomplishments.Keep living life to the max, I'd definitely come back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A very good local bar with an excellent beer selection with many local brews along with the staples. My favorite to eat is the grilled chicken wrap or the chili. They’ve got several large televisions that always have the local sports games on.“

“Lovely atmosphere with plants, fun decor, and sunlight everywhere, one of the prettiest places to grab a drink! 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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“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.“

“What a delight this place is and a boon for the neighborhood! Weather at stand-up comedy or musical acts from around the world, it is a Timeless warm and welcoming neighborhood gathering place. And right next to the police station makes it feel a little safer even though every time I go I find myself walking through a mysterious cloud of weed on the street 😆“

“I ❤️ this place!!! The staff is wonderful, the owner is super friendly, and the cooks make amazing food! Plus, they have a pool table, darts, and a great selection of beer and spirits! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great food , great atmosphere“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

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

“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.“

“I recently rented out the goldmark for my 30th birthday and it was nothing short of awesome!! The bartenders, Jill and Lindsay, were so kind, attentive and helpful!! The drinks were amazing, the DJ was great (Dr. Dap), the location was top notch, the atmosphere was a total vibe. The communication with the owners on what we needed, when we needed it, any helpful tips, was all phenomenal. I would highly recommend!! THANK YOU!“

“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.“

“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 🙂‍↕️.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Home away from home...From out of town? Miss the old neighborhood? Like Blues and R@B? You've found it...at the R BAR... 5 mins. from downtown(avoid rush hour) The owner is a semi-retired musician..and his wife besides being a "Hottie" LOL..Is the salt of the earth...If you make it there on Sundays..You'll find one of the best"Bloody Mary's" around...and a 6 piece band called "The Midnight Horns" who all lead their own bands doing the week,but come together at the R BAR to roar..(Jazz,R@B,Blues)..I must also mention 2 of the best bartenders around..Toni and Billy.will treat you like family...So why not give the R BAR 5 stars? Only because of it's size,and no food..however a Pizza parlor opened next door with a wide variety of treats...good enough to feed those Boilermakers..from the R BAR...“

“Young Brother's Bar is all about community. They go above and beyond to support their community and organization who work in the community. The environment is extremely friendly with great vibes.“

“Love it“
