39 Best Pubs in Pittsburgh

“Fabulous dinner, unique menu, we had Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, Guinness Roast Beef, Fish and Chips, and Salmon, then shared the Bread pudding, all was excellent!“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“Can’t wait to go back. One of my favorites places in Pittsburgh“

“I had some good food and good beer. Location is nice (good parking) and all comes with it. Great people to talk to and I'm from 70+ miles away.“

“Old school Steel City vibe with good food and service!“

“Great food and cold beers with a nice patio!“

“My friend and I stopped in on our way back home from Pittsburgh. He said he was there once and they had excellent wings. He wasn't lying. They are whole, jumbo wings and they fell off the bone. Kaylee, our server and bartender was wonderful. The cook, I think it was Joe. They were out of a certain wing sauce, but he made a new batch, just for me.
I'll be stopping again soon.“

“Visiting Pittsburgh over the weekend and couldn’t miss our Buckeyes vs TTUN. Mike’s Beer Bar was recommended, and it was hands down one of the best game day bar experiences we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was incredible, drink menu (both on tap and cans) showing a plethora of choices to satisfy anyone, and great food. The staff was second to none and very friendly as well. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“Awesome local spot to hang before or after a Pens game or any other time! Really friendly staff and patrons. Plenty of drink options at a decent price. There’s a bar upstairs and down. Along with a gaming room and an outdoor patio. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Great Food and Atmosphere, Some Service Concerns I recently moved to the Braddock Hills area and was excited to revisit this spot, which used to be Folie’s a few years back. The food here is absolutely delicious, and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite, enjoy a margarita, and relax. That said, I’ve had a few experiences with a particular staff member that were concerning. While most of the team has been friendly and welcoming, However, barmaid (JESS who served me February the 7th around 1:49 p.m.) has been noticeably short and dismissive on a couple of occasions. For example, there were times when she rolled her eyes or responded curtly when I greeted her, even though previous visits had been pleasant. I even had an instance where my drink was placed at the very edge of the bar in a way that felt intentionally difficult. I did call to bring this to the manager’s attention to address it, no and she allegedly answered the phone as the manager, and to my experience the manager is a gentleman as well as the owner. I wanted to share it here as well. I’ve spoken with other patrons who’ve noted that her personality can sometimes affect the overall experience. While I understand everyone can have an off day, consistent professionalism and courtesy are essential in customer service, especially in a neighborhood gem like this one. Overall, I truly enjoy this restaurant—the food, ambiance, and most of the staff make it a wonderful place. I hope this feedback can help ensure all customers feel welcome and respected while maintaining the great atmosphere that makes this place special.You just never know who you're serving and your establishment 🌿 Community Advocate #nobulliesallowed“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“After mentioning to someone that I'd had dinner at the cage, they asked me how it was and I said: Same as it ever was, which is to say, good food, cheap drinks, enigmatic service, a little rough around the edges, and my favorite bar/place to hang out and chat. Never change, the cage. ❤️“

“Consistently good service and food.“

“If you want an authentic Irish experience, this is the place. Great service. Great music. And, of course, best pour of Guinness in the city. Don’t sleep on the Harp!“

“Great food. I reccomend it for the german cuisine. Gotta try the saurbrauten, but my fave is the kielbasa“

“Really good meal with friendly and attentive staff. We went for brunch, and the menu had a great variety of options with something for everyone.

I had the highly rated smash burger, and it definitely lived up to the hype—really flavorful and one of the highlights of the meal.

We ended up sitting inside, but if you catch a nice day, I’d recommend eating outside. They have a unique tented outdoor setup that looked like a great place to hang out and enjoy a meal. Overall, a really enjoyable brunch spot in Pittsburgh!“

“I ate before arriving, so I didn’t have any of the food. But the kitchen was pumping out orders the entire time I was there. Drinks were generous with alcohol. Bartender was nice. Atmosphere was light, like I came with one friend felt like I knew everyone else I encountered. Good music choices were made on the jukebox. I enjoyed myself.“

“Would highly recommend. Fantastic service, friendly staff, fun atmosphere and amazing plus creative food and drink.“

“Our first time in Pittsburgh visiting from St. Louis to watch some baseball. Food and atmosphere was amazing… Service was great. We highly recommend. Dre was the bartender and she was so good. The Pittsburgh cheesesteak was delicious.!“

“Being a home brewer, I investigate microbreweries when I travel. The food we had was great although a bit pricey. The Oktoberfest & dunkel a great.
And as a (Lutheran) Pastor & wife, we found the the traditional church environment very enjoyable.
Ryan, our server, was helpful, knowledged, and very efficient in his thorough service to us.
Highly recommended!!“

“Their cheese steak hoagie is the best I've ever had!!“

“Starting this review off on a positive note- I only stepped foot into this establishment because the bartender, Kat, is sweet as can be. Anywhere she works, she’s bringing the vibe. Where New Amsterdam lost me was advertising “Jumbo Fresh Wings” but serving us party wings aka wing dings. I believe it was the kitchen manager who dropped our food off to us. She placed our food down and I was confused so I hollered after her “hey! Wait, we ordered jumbo wings. These are the jumbo wings?” to which she responded over her shoulder “I just make what they order” and kept walking. We were 2 of 9 people in there on a Tuesday night. She could’ve at the very least stopped to speak to the paying customer(s) or grabbed her boss. The saving grace is that the flavors were good. Not sure if it’s worth paying $1.50 per party wing or the subpar service from the kitchen staff, but good enough. Very misleading and bad business practices. Either drop the price or serve people what they ordered.“
