50 Best Bars near Oakmont

“Pub 333 in Oakmont is hands down my top choice when it comes to vegetarian pizza. Since I don’t eat meat, I’m always looking for places that still bring full flavor, and they nailed it. The crust is perfect, the toppings are fresh, and the balance of flavors makes it one of the best veggie pizzas I’ve had. It’s not just the food, either. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe makes you want to stay and enjoy yourself. When a place gets both the food and the energy right, that’s worth a review from me. If you’re looking for a spot with great options, good people, and a relaxed atmosphere head over to Pub 333!“

“I’ve been here twice in the last year…it’s a great time and I love the renovations. The place looks great!!!! Always good time—the wings are AMAZING and all the food looks awesome. Keep up the great job🤘🏽😎“

“Usually get the Romano chicken salad which is excellent- but had a Cheese steak sandwich last night which was really good Been going to Carnivores for many years but food recently has been exceptional“

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

“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 big thank you to Kevin for providing the perfect venue for my husband’s surprise birthday party. Kevin is great to work with when planning an event. We were able to decorate and bring in outside caterers. Along with the selection of local beers on tap and fabulous wine, Kevin made a special barrel aged cocktail just for the occasion.“

“Great comedy show! Amazing stage and fantastic crowd!“

“This place has an AMAZING whiskey selection. Plus the atmosphere is great, the bar tenders are super attentive and it’s just an all around great place.“

“This bar slaps. The bartenders are all super chill and knowledgeable. The menu is super interesting, with balanced and unexpected cocktails that are truly impressive. You can tell the drinks have a lot of love for the craft behind their recipes. Can get a little crowded/loud on busy nights but still worth it. 10/10 would recommend sitting at the bar with a couple friends and trying as much on the menu as you can.“

“I ate tonight at Bablyon and it was the best Middle Eastern food I've had in years. I ate with a group and we shared a tableful of delicious food that were prepared terrifically. I'll be back!“

“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!“

“This is a nice venue with top quality music acts, very friendly employee's and very clean. There is a small parking lot and street parking. Very minimal noise level. They don't serve food but everyone goes to a place two doors down and brings it back. I highly recommend Moondogs!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“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.“

“Love this place and will go back“

“Popped in before going to o2, had the jerk chicken burger, I have to say it's without doubt the best chicken burger I've ever eaten.“

“probably my favorite bar on earth....and I own a popular bar. every place needs a bar like this...“

“I booked The Goldmark’s speakeasy, The Confidant, for my birthday party recently and simply cannot sing their praises enough!

Nicole and Noa were ANGELS and worked with me throughout the entire process to answer any and all of my questions. They worked so hard to create and serve two CUSTOM cocktails with me and a shot of my choice for the evening! There was even a drink sheet made just for my event. I got so many compliments from every guest about how wonderful our bartender, Noa, was. He was fun, helpful, and completely added to our vibe :)
We had full rein over the music, and even a bouncer to ensure our party remained private. Everyone was obsessed with the space, and it perfectly accommodated all of my guests. We were even able to move things around in a way that worked best for us! The staff let us in a full hour early to decorate, and they were ready to help make my vision come to life. Goldmark even provided us a table for snacks and cake that is not usually available.

I can’t thank Noa, Nicole, Jill, and Adam for helping coordinate the most unforgettable birthday party! ( I want to do this every year!)“

“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.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed Feast’s New Year’s Eve dinner. Amazing food, creative menu, well paced, so much fun. And they sent us home with palmiers for breakfast!“

“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.“

“I’ve loved Carls for 20 years!“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, BEST WINGS!“

“Always a good vibe with great service and cool grown & sexy crowd!“

“Attended a funeral at RJ Slaters funeral home, 12 of us went there between viewing times and had great service and the food order was done quickly. Everyone enjoyed their food and the people from Virginia never even seen a whole chicken wing. It was a great weather day and a few of us even walked the block to get there..“

“A family member just moved to Etna and we wanted some lunch. This place is ranked high on google maps and there is good reason for such a ranking.

The special on Wednesday is $5 off a meat platter and so we got that. Sam the bartender was friendly and efficient and took great care of us.

The pulled pork and smoked chicken with the sides were awesome so much food that we had to take half home for dinner.

Awesome place, the grill/smoker is out front and the fragrance hits you when you pull up. This is a hidden local gem in Etna, even the cooks chat with you and so do the locals.

Super friendly in a great town with awesome food that will not break the bank. You have to go for great BBQ“

“Came here for the first time to kill time before a movie in the afternoon and this place is awesome. Got a bacon burger and its absolutely the best in the city, incredible price for everything you get and absolutely massive portion. The bartender Billy was super attentive and friendly, great chatting with him. Interacted with multiple other staff members, great interactions overall. Definitely will be back!“

“Had the Ruben sandwich 🥪 with fresh cut fries! poppers were good! my fiance had Italian hoagie with homemade chips! Everything was delicious. friendly service. we will be back! cook did awesome!“

“Love their whole wings and I think their Secret Saxon Sauce is the best Wing Sauce EVER. All the food is great actually along with the atmosphere and service. Their Fish Sandwiches are huge and the best in the area as well. Plus it's pretty affordable compared to most places. They have both a nice Bar Room and Dinning Room. I only wish they had a bigger selection of dark beers.“

“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!“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely loved my stop into Nine Two Five with Matt & JJ. Tried both of their specialty cocktails and an Over/Under which is a great Underberg experience.
JJ’s cocktail (Loretta) was new-age whiskey with lavender, ginger, and egg whites…enjoyed!
Matt’s was a tiki cocktail (3 dots & a dash) that I was vaguely familiar with, and tasted great! Matt had a lot of beer experience that I was able to ask about. Great spot! More people need to go and enjoy the offerings!
JJ & Matt know what they’re doing and if something on the menu doesn’t seem to fit what you’re looking for, please ask as it seems they know how to make it work!!“

“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 kept secret in Pittsburgh. Downstairs is an inviting speakeasy atmosphere. A few steps up and you're in a large-yet-comfy greatroom - complete with fireplace, couches and two hugescreen tvs, great for Steeler games. Then there's the second floor which is perfect for parties, catered events - there's also comedy nights and markets there. Danielle always has something going on upstairs and down!“

“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“

“Slavs Club is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is super friendly – you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The staff are warm and attentive, and the vibe is relaxed but lively. The food is good – fresh, flavorful. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or hanging out with friends for the evening, it’s a great spot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back place with good food and great people“

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

“Nancy, the server, was so good! Opened a few minutes early for us! Friendly atmosphere.“

“Good chow and a great place to visit.“

“very good food! try the paella, take some to go and enjoy it the next day. it's so.good!“

“awesome drink specials! great bartenders! the BEST whole wings!“

“When you’re here, you’re family.
Over ice-cold Yuenglings,
Foes become friends.
Over Slim Jims,
The common man does not suffer.
Over the local nightly news,
Neighbor dogs bark, sometimes bite.
Time passes,
if you’re lucky!“

“Good wings. Friendly and clean.“

“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“
