Where else in town can you smoke a pack of cigs that came out of a retro machine... drink cheap beer and eat the largest chicken wings I've ever seen in my life? Also you're technically allowed to graffiti in the bathrooms, just don't write on the pinball machine. The jukebox is really cool too. I won't be back for personal reasons but I liked sitting in this bar even when I stopped drinking, it was cool to see everyone else having fun. The BBQ wings are seriously delicious (why are they so big??? Not complaining just impressed) and there are always weird movies playing on TV, and they write a fun little quote on the chalkboard daily which was honestly my favorite part. It's gross in a good way 🩷

If you are looking for a traditional dive bar with an eclectic blend of customers, this is the place! The bartenders are friendly and efficient, even in a crowd. Live music and games to play in the back add to the fun environment. Only one bathroom for the women, which can sometimes cause delays but otherwise no complaints. The wings are really good and decent prices on food and drinks.

Gooski's is a five star dive bar. I go there for the Bands.

The dive bar of my dreams. This place has it all. Smoking, live music, great food. Tim the bartender is amazing. The beer was cheap and cold and the service was fast and friendly. Drove 7 hours from Canada to go to Gooski’s and it did not disappoint.

IYKYK Gooskis is a terrific bar. Food is not great. Excellent beer list and drinks. Interior, ambience like no other. Super friendly bartenders and atmosphere. Can be quite smokey inside in spite of ventilation.

Welp, the door man is off the fent. Was nodding off, told us he was homophobic, and then attacked us.

Other than that, the drinks are great and I love the service there. 1/5 stars :)

arguably the best wings in Pittsburgh, but you never know if the kitchen is gonna be open at any given moment so it’s just really kind of annoying… 6 o’clock on Tuesday maybe maybe not open kitchen 9 o’clock on a Saturday maybe maybe not open kitchen 7 o’clock on a Wednesday maybe maybe not open kitchen … You just never know and if you call ahead to ask, they get pissy
