Friendly staff, good drinks, good variety of drinks. The food is delicious - try the smoked wings or grilled cheese sandwiches, and the flatbreads are also really good. Cozy, clean, nice without being too fancy or ritzy.

Great vibes and friendly service. The food was alright. It was chilly inside (autumn). Awesome whiskey selection and like other people have said - excellent Guinness pour!

Mark and the guy who likes soccer from the Cage were there.

The whisky selection here is beyond comparison in terms of Pennsylvania bars. The owner is super knowledgeable and friendly and helped me pick out a few whisky's to sample, even suggested whether they were better neat or on rocks. If your a whisky/scotch/bourbon fan you have to do yourself the favor of coming here at least once. There are even some rare bottles that you absolutely won't find in other places.

A Greenfield Gem with the Best Bourbon & Guinness in Pittsburgh!

I can't believe I’ve been working just down the street in Squirrel Hill and wasn't aware of this bourbon & Guinness Godsend otherwise known as J. Gough's for the past eight years! IMO this pub is hands down the best bourbon spot in Pittsburgh, with an unreal selection that any whiskey lover will appreciate. And if you're a Guinness fan, you won't find a better pour—perfectly done every time. Throw in some top-notch bar bites and affordable pricing, and you've got yourself a go-to hangout. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out! 🍻🥃 #JGoughs #BourbonLovers #PerfectGuinness #PittsburghEats

A great cozy, classic tavern vibe with a fantastic selection of whiskey, bourbon, scotch, everything! I really love their flatbread pizza, and their smoked wings look amazing and are actual, full wing size.
Service was excellent and friendly from start to finish!
