50 Best Bar & Grill near Swissvale

“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.“

“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.“

“went here yesterday for the first time. we had a rather large party and our waitress was great, and even having to split the checks she was great. But the star of the show was the food. starting with the calamari and ending with an amazing grilled chicken Cesar wrap with squash. everything was wonderful. next time we come to the area we will be back.“

“Stick with the hamburgers!“

“We were there first time yesterday. Food,drinks and service was very good. Will definitely be back. Only negative comment is that the front steps handrails need to be replaced or repaired. I'm partially handicapped and had a tough time getting in and out.“

“Definitely recommend the smash burger.. awesome & the fries are great! Nice selection of draft beers and great service! I think her name is Theresa? We will be back!“

“Nice place, great specials, easy parking. Delicious food“

“Been going for years , food is good but the wait staff totally ignored you . Ok I can understand once in a while but it keeps getting worse. Last time I called my order in, got there and waited 1/2 hour before wait staff even acknowledged us , I tipped these ladies very good over the years and they treat you horrible , I refuse to go back and give my business, when they walk past you 8 times and do not acknowledge you, it took a customer to tell them to wait on us we have been sitting there a half hour. Really pathetic service I had enough…go down the street to blue haven and get great food and FANTASTIC SERVICE.“

“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!“

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

“Consistently good service and food.“

“Very Nice place! Atmosphere was friendly and inviting with Great service! The food was Excellent and delivered quickly and piping hot. Everything our party of four ordered was delicious! The burger was juicy and grilled to perfection. The loaded fries had a remarkable homemade cheese sauce and fresh cooked bacon. The boneless chicken chunks were very fresh with mouth watering sauces of honey barbecue and Tai Sweet Chili. My husband said the Cajun Chicken Mac was the best he has ever had. We live in Ohio and found Nox's on the "googler" after visiting the training camp. We will surely be stopping here everytime we come to town!“

Thank you very much!! Such a cozy vibe and perfect for this snowy weather. ❄️“

“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. ??

“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.!“

“Stopped after our grandson's soccer game (we're from Somerset.) Not fans of chain restaurants, we always look for local restaurants and pubs. We're happy to have found Churchill Haus. It was GREAT!“

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

“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.“

“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.“
