50 Best Bar & Grill near South Park

“My family and I were here on Sunday November 16, 2025. Both bartenders were excellent and very positive and outgoing. The food was amazing. We had fish sandwiches and fries.“

“I'm bias toward dive bars because they usually have a fun group of people and your tab doesn't get too high. This is that place, picture perfect dive. You can smoke, drink, and throw your name on the chalkboard so you have next dibs on the pool table. The ladies room is like stepping into a funhouse built 3 feet too short, lol. And yes, writing all over the bathroom doors.“

“My wife's grandparents are from the hill country of Lebanon, and her "Sittee" made phenomenal food. I haven't had anything even close to her cooking until I went to Babylon. Friendly, courteous owner and staff, great service, and food that is out of this world. What more could you want?“

“The staff was amazing. The management is amazing. Definitely the best place in Pittsburgh. Just go.“

“Hemlock House describes itself as serving "irreverent food," and they aren't kidding. I came in expecting a burger, but I stayed for the Frog Legs—the gochujang brown butter buffalo sauce is an absolute game changer. If you are looking for boring bar food, go elsewhere. Here, you have to try the Beef Tartare; the quality of the Snake River Farms beef really shines, and the soy cured yolk adds such a rich texture. For the main event, the Duck Burger is a must-order. The combination of a duck and beef fat patty with luxardo cherries and boursin cheese sounded crazy on paper, but it was incredible. This place is a culinary hidden gem.“

“Great spot for unique food options and they always have a large beer variety.“

“This place has really good wings! And the pork chop is really good too! Especially with barn sauce.“

“My family goes to Alexions a lot, especially in the summer to sit on the patio. The food and service is always good, we will keep going back!“

“Supereme Nachos were loaded with all the right toppings—perfect for sharing.“

“Great food and fantastic friendly service. The place is immaculately clean, as well. I highly recommend Willow Station!“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly workers and great food!!“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“Best service by Nikki and Shay always hands down they are reason I am there alway best bartenders ever and food and atmosphere is amazing too 🙌🙌“

“Got the double smash burger & fries. Pretty good! The burger was big and tasty. The fries have a really nice seasoning on them. Everything was done and ready to pick up in 20 minutes on a Friday night. They even followed my special requests perfectly. Will definitely be coming back again!“

“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“

“Always a blast!!! Feels like hanging out at a friend’s place.“

“Laid back on a regular night, great drinks and food, the STARtenders are Amazing, the security is nice , loads of fun when a party is scheduled . A place for historic South side residents can be social and enjoy each other!“

“Went in for dinner tonight with my husband for a date night and it was awesome! All of the girls working were super friendly! Alexa was super sweet and did a great job! Good conversation and awesome vibes! Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve had countless Italian subs and the like over the years (which were all good) but I just tried the cheese steak for the first time yesterday. 🤤 It was amazing! Highly recommend giving the cheese steak a try!“

“I drove 45 minutes from the Hill District to Clairton to try LeeLee's chicken because I heard it was the best. The rumors were true! It was so yummy and although my order was incorrect, they quickly corrected it once notified. I was super pregnant, so the little things matter and the Sportsman got it right. ??

Vegetarian options: French fries

Kid-friendliness: Not for children“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“My son & I went for the first time today. Great food, friendly staff, beautiful place, cool vibe overall. Definitely going back to try other eats. Well done!“

“great food and awesome service“

“Me and my wife have been going to this bar about 4 years. Great atmosphere and very friendly bartenders and owner. Food is excellent and the cooks take a pride in it. We have taken many of our friends there and they love it also.“

“the owner the people who go there the surrounding n Arlington for life“

“Great place to watch the Steelers!“

“Bar itself is great. Some really nice people at any given time as well. But all that goes from a 5 star experience to a zero whenever the ego maniac Julia happens to be working. She is a very toxic and demanding person hell bent on iron rule. She is the epitome of an overbearing, drama loving wannabe diva. Skip Mondays and Sundays and turn around any other day she happens to be filling in.“

“Fun little neighborhood bar!“

“They went too high of a membership fee for what you get. Other than that, it's not a bad little place, most of the time. Despite the isolated incidents that have occurred there in the last few years to sully their reputation, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and cheap drinks. Wish a higher class of people frequented.“

“Great food and great service. Very good wings. Definitely recommend!! Patty is a sweetheart loved chatting with her.“

“good place to meet new people and always a fun time with the locals and regulars“

“Such a great flea market to go to if you’re looking for good deals. The people running the place are very good people !!“

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner for twelve there last Friday evening. I had made the reservation with Doug, the very nice owner, a month prior after he graciously showed me the restaurant. At Doug's suggestion, I called ahead that day to have some appetizers ready when we arrived and they were there, hot, fresh and delicious when my guests arrived. The restaurant was very busy but the food and service were excellent. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and drinks they ordered. Farrah, our server, was friendly, pleasant and efficient. I would definitely recommend DeBlaze 131 and hope to return there soon.“

“Friendly and fun atmosphere- attentive staff and great food- more than ample portions - We were in town from the central Florida area for the Steelers / Ravens game and looking for a place to eat post game.. and we found you!😊 thank you!“

“Service can be great depending on who you get. There's one male employee (gives hippie vibes) that can be rude and slow to serve. The bar itself is decorated in an interesting way and it's a nice place to relax and enjoy friends or watch sports.“

“I SHOULD RATE IT LOWER! BUT I WON'T.Ok so I'm going to start with this as a mixed review in two ways one for Priors and the bowling alley since they were both involved. We had a Young teens birthday party there where the bowing alley offers min charge $120 for 8 people. We understood this going in. We only had 5 teens 3 adults. Everyone bowled 1 game the adults had to buy their own drinks even though we paid for (8) the adults were also not allowed to eat. We were told prices went up blame the government. (Wow) so we ordered 3 cokes adults also not permitted to eat so we ordered food. The kids each got a small rectangle of pizza and a few French fries along with their included drink. So not even 1 whole pizza for the party? Was very confused. We could have gone there based on normal pricing paid 40 bucks less everyone would have eaten drank cokes bowl more than 1 game for alot less money. So BE CAREFUL. We did have a hostess as well that will also cost you tip. Our hostess was awesome this experience was not their fault. It was mine for not doing better research. So I'm short if your having a party there skip the party through them and go Alacarte.“

“Fun loving atmosphere with great people and good drinks“

“Great music venue beautiful bar 5/5 in my book“

“I come here a lot me and the guys I work with normally we could come here in the evening and get something to cook but that hasn't been happening lately it seems like the kitchen is closing earlier and earlier each day people come from a distance just to get something to eat and then when they get there at like 6:00 or 5:30 kitchen is closed I used to stay up until like 8:00 at night if you trying to pick your business up you need to have your kitchen open“

“Great place! Good food great place to hear live music awesome outside deck.“

“Decided to go on Friday 3-25-22,got fish sandwich,horrible,so disappointed,give it 2 stars.“

“This place has cheap delicious drinks, as well as a good variety of beer. There is also a good sized dance floor. There are also pool tables. This is a great place to meet friends for a drink. Also they play some great music to dance to. Bathroom is clean and spotless.“

“Stopped into Nadin'es other night with two friend and had such a good time.The locals were super friendly and food was also tasty“

“We’ve been going to Elly’s since we moved here a few years back and it’s a true testament to we need more women owned businesses. The food is killer. The staff is fantastic. The atmosphere has something for everyone. Their food is moderately priced for good portions, and they have amazing specials - $5 happy hour menu and $10 rotating entree special. They just added some new food to the menu with turkey handhelds, weekend breakfast, and Lenten specials on Fridays. I’m ready to come back and try it all. Support local - eat Elly’s.“

“Had a wonderful time. Food was fantastic and the service was great!! They were crazy busy and the wait was not bad at all. I would definitely recommend going. I will definitely be back soon!! What a great addition to the Westmont area of Johnstown!!“

“The food is great bar food. The wings are delicious. The headwind sandwiches are awesome. The beer is great. A lot of great IPA. A few dark beers that always impress and the Yinzer or bumble berry if you just want something light.“

“Great Guinness and service“

“The chicken tenders and cheese balls are amazing. I would come here just for the food. Not to mention the staff. Carrie, Dan, and Dani are absolute gems. If you have any of these bartenders when you show up, Just know they will take care of you. They are all able to fulfill any cocktail order and any special requests. If you are able to catch Carrie for a special event. She will decorate the bar to match the vibe of it. All in all. This place feels like home. It feels like family. You show up and it’s like you are meeting a distant relative. It is a very welcoming spot. I will for sure become a regular. If you live in the Bethel/South Park area this will be the spot for you. Don’t even get me started on the daily specials. This is a bargain buy and an experience. 10/10

The wings are awesome. They are for sure the most amazing part of this experience. They have multiple flavors, all of which are incredible in their own way. Please make this spot your new hangout!“
