“Nice little bar somewhere I would come back too“

“best dive bar ever. Always good people“

“Favorite traditional after work Pittsburgh neighborhood bar....add some of Pitt's best and brightest, a lot of fun.....Trivia nites on Wednesday are entertaining as the crowd is generally younger and the kids have a unique sense of humor....“

“Get your drink on, get your smoke on and get your grub on and get your groove on. Classic dive bar. Know what you want to order before you're at the bar. Some booth seating with a long bar with stools, back room with pool and live music.“

“This place ROCKS. I really can’t pinpoint what it is, but every single time I’ve walked through that door, I laughed till I cried, drank good and danced all night long. Julie behind the bar is a very important piece to this puzzle. Best bartender ever, hands down!“

“its awesome. and I have to type to hit 25 Characters on rhe review.“

“Great people great place and even better bloody Mary's“

“Garvey's is a fantastic place nestled in Southside slopes.We stumbled upon when we were walking from the slopes to the flats. Bartender James was a lot of fun. They don't serve food but you can order in. I showed up with my whole football crew and we brought snacks and sandwiches. Felt just like tailgate! They have a fun bowling game in the back room. We also bought Garvey's Tshirts and hoodies. What a blast“

“Awesome atmosphere, great employees and great food.“

“Lots of great memories at this local Halloween haunt!“

“Fish sandwich is fantastic!!“

“Great place in Murrysville! Our waitress was so friendly and sweet! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Consistently good food with quick and friendly service. We regularly come by after rock climbing at the gym in Lawrenceville, and I’m always happy with my visits to this place. Bonus that they are one of the few places that keep their kitchen open late.“

“Chill place! Cool bartender ! Cheap drinks!“

“If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar, it's tough to beat Kelly's. The bartenders and owner are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. There are a lot of local regulars who welcome less frequent visitors like myself. If there's a Pittsburgh sporting event, you can be sure that it will be on the TVs. While I haven't eaten there, I've heard good things about the food.“

“I luv The Vibe. And, Vicky has the cleanest glass on the Boulevard... Book It, Dano“

“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.“

“Smoking bars are not ones I go to if I can help it but I was celebrating a friend's birthday and decided to just deal with it. A rowdy crowd for karaoke night. Didn't have any food or play pinball. Only one bartender but you'd get your drink eventually, just had to be patient. The place is very punk, but also seems to be the neighborhood watering hole bc there were several older folks at the bar who were clearly not part of the scene. I coughed up dark mucus for the next two days clearing out all the smoke but the night was fun. Street parking.“

“Great relaxing atmosphere!“

“Where have I been? Came here t on a Thursday night after work and will definitely be coming back next week. Dave is a Rockstar! Lo ed him! 5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommend!“

“Came in here for the first time and Chris, the bartender, went out of her way to make us super welcome. It was awesome. Such a welcoming place. Especially as a young female I've felt very uncomfortable at a lot of bars but I instantly was made to feel so comfortable the second I walked in here. This is my place now.“

“Tara is a great bartender and very welcoming. We had fun! Thanks, Tara!“

“They know how to do wings right. Crispy. Garlic and Parmesan, not some premade sauce, but minced garlic and real sprinkled cheese. If you want to alter things to better fit your pallet, they always meet your needs. Good beer selection.

Parking: It's Pittsburgh parking, figure it could. Could be worse, so much worse.“

“Nice spot in Oakland. Fun college bar.“

“Great local neighborhood bar. Must go for wing night! We live about 30 minutes away and will gladly drive down for food and drinks on a Thursday. One thing to note, food is only served on wing night, but there are several good places on the same street! Gets a bit busy when college is in, but still fun!“

“Love this bar, it’s is honestly one of the best dance dive bars I’ve been to! Truly enjoy how they have themed nights throughout the week! Bad gals night was my favorite, but keep in mind the line does get pretty long (around the block) so try to arrive early and bring cash! *cover* I think about $10!“
