The decorations in this place are amazing! Floor to ceiling decked out for the upcoming holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience - and the beers!!

10/10 best themed bar in Pittsburgh!This is a go-to spot for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Especially Christmas, and just about every other holiday you can think of...or just your casual, get off work, and need a good vibe with some friends and drinks.

So, they apparently do not serve any type of food at all. We had to leave and go get Jersey Mike's and we actually brought it back. Overall it's a super cute place tho! Service was meh at best. But we were at a table and not at the bar. Only bc it was completely packed and there was like nowhere to go. It's definitely a dive bar type of place. Which is fine if that's what you're wanting. I would've given 4 stars if the service was better.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit, until karaoke starts. Beautiful people, tasty beverages. Fun to look at the lights.

Finally made it to this hidden gem I've heard good things about over the years. When you want a great dive that's decorated for Christmas all year long, this is your spot. They still have a self-serve popcorn machine which you don't see too often anymore. Is it clean? You be the judge. The drinks are strong. Staff can be a little cold but you can tell they have a lot of regulars. It's just a no BS kind of place. Very yinzer. They had a food truck that night so we had some pretty good hot dogs. Can't speak to how often they have food vendors. We went on a Saturday night and there was karaoke going on. We had originally planned to stop in for a quick drink or 2 but honestly karaoke was so entertaining we stayed a lot longer. I recommend when you're in the mood for a classic dive bar night with friends.

It's a garage, decorated to the highest degree of tacky, selfie-inducing lights and baubles, that serves drinks (and, I guess, food). Opened the steering wheel door to be greeted by folks out to have fun.

Great Christmas themed bar, but despite what you might see online, they don't serve food. There was just one bartender working but he was efficient. I would LOVE to see a Christmas drink menu. I'll absolutely come back next year - just for the insane decorations!

This place was amazing with all of thier decorations on the way. It definitely was a favorite with people as we literally had to wait a few to get in as they were at capacity. But when we got in we had no trouble getting a drink as packed as they were . Definitely go have a beer in the Christmas Bar!
Used to love BUT the last time my family visited, the bar tender confronted us for “not tipping enough for the holidays” (it was a very standard tip - we all work/worked in the service industry)WILD! Have never had this happen anywhere & am not inspired to go back.

No food anymore which is a shame because it used to be very good. Service was great and atmosphere is awesome with all the Christmas decorations and other themes they do throughout the year. But def a place to check out.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in

this used to be such a fun place. the last three times i went here in the last three years all the bartenders were extremely unwelcoming. the last time, a bartenders friends took it upon themselves to tell us we weren't welcome as my friends and I walked in. not the place I knew before. no thank you. so rude.

A destination dive bar. If you have never been to Bob's Garage, you have to check it out for the decorations. All year round, the bar is FILLED with holiday decorations. Christmas is the year-round theme, but they transform the place for other holidays, too. There's so much eye candy here! You could spend your entire visit finding new decorations around the bar. They have the standard tap list and a selection of bottles. We have also been there on a karaoke night, which was super fun!
