41 Best Dive Bars near Millvale

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

“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!“

“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....“

“Great food and drink! Had the best burger and watermelon mimosa! staff was super friendly!“

“Cash-only with ATM inside. Fun grungie bar, great for music and a nice punk vibe. Got to witness the debut of a metal band 🤘

Pool table in the back with friendly folks to rotate in with.

Great beer specials and fast service at the bar. Menu is very hard to read on the wall opposite of the bar, but food is solid.“

“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.“

“Great bar and awesome staff! Fun, different, and super welcoming — really a bar for everyone. Drinks are made with fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice, which is such a nice touch. Good mix of music and a great vibe overall. My sisters and I were visiting Pittsburgh for the first time and ended up here two nights in a row. We would’ve gone the third night, but it was Sunday and they were closed. Total hidden gem!“

“Fun group of patrons . Various ages and types, a great place to have a few drinks and mingle with all. Available parking and great Service. No downside“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Good food, strong drinks and awesome staff what more could you ask for. Weekends tend to get busy“

“If yinz find yourself passing through Munhall,PA like we were you’ve simply gotta stop in at the local tavern on Main Street! We stumbled upon Main Street Tavern and are thankful we did. This joint has big screens to watch an assortment of sporting events, copious options in the beverage arena and an assortment tasty food crafted by their cook (make sure you check the schedule ~ you won’t be disappointed!). Yinz know the show Cheers, right?! It was evident that the owners of this local establishment know everyone who walks through their doors by name. The greetings we’d witness as folks arrived was cheerful and when it was time to leave they’d give a shoutout “see yinz next time!” We bellied up to the bar and ordered two draft beers … what kind you ask … Yuengling of course! Do you know the story of Yuengling; it’s one of the American Spirit. It’s a tale of shared dreams, individual tenacity & an unwavering dedication to standards of quality. Like many American stories it starts amid the dreams of countless young immigrants looking for opportunity and emerges from the strength & will of one family determined to build their legacy in a new country. The story of America’s Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg Germany to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. As I digress, like a story being shared with new friends over a cold beer I’ll get back to our visit at Main Street Tavern. We ordered draft refills to accompany the wings & hand crafted pizza we ultimately chose; the menu is filled with taste bud tempting & oh so many yummy in my tummy choices. The crust of the pizza is sourced locally along with most of the food you’ll find on Main Street Tavern’s; it’s an impressive menu. The meatballs are homemade & sought after by many (that’s what I gathered by listening to banter across the bar). The rabbit food aka salads galore I doubt will leave you hungry by the portions I saw being served causing me to second guess my choice but not for long, those first nibbles into the perfectly cooked wings & crisped drumsticks drizzled in sauce had me wanting more. The wing sauce was scrumpdillyicious & fingers were licked while our pizza was easily devoured as we shared this feast while bantering with the locals, staff and owners as college football played on the screens. Folks were filtering in and out, some playing pool while others shared stories of their week. It’s was kind of neat spending time in a local neighborhood establishment, the vibe is unique and very much welcomed. We learned that Main Street Tavern is a staple in the community and gives back regularly hosting an array of charitable events like chili cook-offs, Santa was just there for pictures with the kids, karaoke & local entertainment. Ugh! Now we had a problem of the most basic kind. Being in town only for one night we couldn’t enjoy other items offered on Main Street Tavern’s savory menu and the company of friendly folks that shared our evening; perhaps our return trip east in the spring requires a delightful detour?! So in review … this gal encourages you to divert yourself off the highway, head on over to historic Munhall (a borough in Allegheny County, PA on the west bank of the Monongahela river). At Main Street Tavern we found ourselves warmly welcomed as we stepped inside, filled up on an assortment of vittles, beverages severed with a smile & locals who were happy to sit alongside us as we conversed about our travels across our country.“

“We had the pretzel sticks as an appetizer- so good!! And a nice surprise was they were $3.00 off since it was happy hour. I ordered the most delicious Cobb Salad and my husband had the Homewrecker Burger which he thoroughly enjoyed. Our service was on point. We have never had a bad experience here. Always a good time and delicious. I'm just sorry I forgot to take pics.“

“Its a cool local joint? Definitely a place to go before shows at @Roxian!“

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

“Bar itself is great. Some really nice people at any given time as well. But all that goes from a 5 star experience to a zero whenever the ego maniac Julia happens to be working. She is a very toxic and demanding person hell bent on iron rule. She is the epitome of an overbearing, drama loving wannabe diva. Skip Mondays and Sundays and turn around any other day she happens to be filling in.“

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

“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!“

“great place to see old friends“

“One of the best most iconic bars in the city. There is so much heart and soul in this bar you can feel it from the moment you walk in. Super diverse crowd where everyone is your best friend. I heard they are closing down tho and being forced out of the strip, that's a shame. Mark my words the strip district will start to die when Lefty's gets pushed out, it will never be the same again.“

“Most reviews are 1 or 5 which sums the place up perfectly. You either get it or you don't. If you want a good honest dive with 'eclectic' patrons, efficient bar staff, stiff drinks ,.smoking and a jukebox, it's for you. If not,.don't go.“

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

“Down and dirty. Liquor in plastic bottles. Graffiti on every inch of the bathroom. Respectable beer selection, and a great pinball room. There is a heavy 'locals only' vibe, so behave yourself. Don't ask for an espresso martini. Don't ask for a Cosmo. Do bring quarters so you don't have to bother the bartender for them. Pretty sure you can still smoke here. Bourdain would have felt right at home.“

“I don't like telling people how great this place is bc I don't want all of those Jagoffs in my seat!!“

“Wonderful time with friends, very enjoyable! The food was terrific and so was our amazing waitress Chloe Elizabeth! Most impressed with her kind hearted disposition and attention to our needs! See you soon, thanks!🍺“

“Stopped in this place because our dad used to work here a long time ago! He was a bartender here and a customer! He passed away in 2000 but I love that it’s still here since he spent a lot of time here!“

“Down and dirty. Shots poured in plastic condiment cups. Graffiti on (literally) every surface. It's cheap. Decent drafts. It doesn't smell, which is frankly surprising. I get the impression it gets pretty rowdy at night, just by the evidence. I also get the impression staff doesn't put up with any hassle.This isn't exactly a place for a first date, but it's kind of cozy in it's own weird way.“

“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!“

“So much fun!!!! Always have a blast here!!“

“Great relaxing atmosphere!“

“Went for trivia with some friends. The boneless wings (yes I’m a boneless guy) might have been the best I’ve ever had - not just glorified chicken nuggets like most places serve. The blackberry bbq sauce was awesome. I’m sure I’ll be back!“

“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!“

“Great vibe, good music, cool folks.“

“Nice spot in Oakland. Fun college bar.“

“Absolutely love this bar. They have a ton of different events listed on their website including line dancing on Wednesdays. The bartenders are amazing as well as the rest of the staff. The establishment is cleanly and welcoming of everyone including the lgbtq+ community. They card and the door and take cash or card.“
