Edit: the owner below forgot about November 24th *2023* when 5 close-to or underage kids jumped a couple 40 year olds for absolutely no reason? And how they went to court and had to settle a lawsuit? I guess you forgot that one. Someone needs to confiscate that liquor license before the entire street turns into a fight club.Classiest bar in the city! Haha ????Please stop over serving people, your parking lot is not a fighting ring. Or a crash test dummy lot.

Great prices, amazing food, and wonderful atmosphere. Went here for my buddy's birthday. It was karaoke night as well. The dj was awesome and the bartender was great. The funnel cake fries were crisp and delicious.

if I could give no stars I would. we showed up staff was ok except staff shouldn't be drinking, the place is very dark and dirty could definitely use a cleaning, drinks were subpar at best, prices are high for the environment, I mean it's a dive neighborhood bar but we tried the food my wife got sick off their wings and my Italian sub tasted sour like meat has turned, there's no presentation and for the place as slow as it was the food took exceptionally long to get to us and then the cook was at the bar more than in his kitchen, just a very unprofessional establishment no management the cook was flirting with the few ladies and drinking, as a food blogger I definitely wouldn't recommend this place, everything is out dated. wings are soggy and undercooked. staff needs training from top to bottom, This is Greg the Pittsburgh Food Fanatic giving the Coal mine a big thumbs down. I would recommend trying The Getaway which isn't to far away from this place. I'll be posting my assessment of The Getaway soon!

I have become a very big fan of The Coal Mine recently. Words cannot describe just how good the wings, burgers and sandwiches are here. Fresh beef, not frozen, wings are huge! You have driven by a million times on RTE 88 and just thought, "Oh that dive bar has been there for a thousand years...never been in there" Well, steer into the parking lot and enjoy some of the most reasonably priced bar food that you have ever tasted! To put icing on the cake, the bartenders are all quite friendly! Keep up the great work folks!

Kasra, our host and server, met us as we walked in very cold and confused. He was welcoming, kind and very hospitable. The food was generous, fresh and delicious. We had the chicken mushroom pie and the lovely berry apple crumble.

I had the worst experience. The bartender did not treat my party like its respect. Charged wrong items on my card. Also the regulars jumped my friend after it closed. I do not recommend anyone to go there. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had!!! They are not nice people at all!!!

Great band, and food is the best. Got a fish sandwich it was huge with fresh cut fries. By bud got wings chef was very friendly and let us try the sauces. And recommended the jalapeño popper, fries or zesty ranch fries, which we opted for the jalapeño popper fries, which was a great decision. Those were delicious they use real cheddar cheese in their top with real jalapeños. Definitely recommend everybody was friendly and I’m gay and I felt very welcome. I will definitely spread the word about this place. I will definitely be back. Thanks again for a wonderful night.UpdateWhat happened to the food had to change my review! Y’all hire a different cook? Raw undercook
