About Squirrel Hill Cafe

Squirrel Hill Cafe is a welcoming neighborhood bar known for its delicious burgers and hand-cut fries, with a dive bar vibe that’s dark and vintage. The staff is friendly and creates a comfortable, cozy, and laid-back atmosphere for both regulars and newcomers. The cafe is recognized for its great service and as a local favorite with a long-standing connection to Pittsburgh universities. It is a no-frills spot with great drinks, tasty pub food, and a perfect neighborhood hangout. The atmosphere is amazing, with no pretentiousness, where locals gather and conversations flow easily. Time seems to have stopped here — and that’s a beautiful thing. Directly across from the library, it’s an excellent spot to read a book while having a pint or eating some of their affordable food. At night, it becomes an exciting, upbeat spot. No smoking or vaping is allowed inside, but outdoor seating is available.

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. ❤️
burger was so good that the absolute chaos of the place on the night i was there just melted away. service was incredible, especially in such a hectic atmosphere and the chefs went above and beyond to get our order in not long before the kitchen close. highly highly recommend and to be clear the buzz of the bar was honestly great and a sell of the cafe in itself
If I could give this place negative 8 stars, I would. Thats how cool it is. Bill is cool. Takes naps in railroad crossings.
