50 Best Bars near Swissvale

“Lots of fun at Boomerang!“

“Mixed crowd with younger and older, got a juke box with iTunes so if you have the app you can control it... The bartenders are friendly and down to earth, one of the select few places that I continuously visit when I have time. Karaoke night Wednesday which has a real nice crowd and on Fridays and Saturdays they have a DJ, and the best part is, the drink prices are very good it's a family-owned business so they try to make sure everything goes well“

“INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS dogs 🌭 this place is top notch, and up until now, the best wein I’ve had in Pittsburgh.

Huge menu with unique options, and an authentic Chicago Dog that will blow. your. mind. A ‘Burgh staple for the glizzy community 🙌🏼“

“Live music, open mic, karaoke!“

“burger was fantastic! can't beat the Tuesday deal“

“Great classic neighborhood bar. Fantastic food and rotating draft selections.“

“probably my favorite bar on earth....and I own a popular bar. every place needs a bar like this...“

“The food was AMAZING! The service was AMAZING! The drinks were AMAZING! We are going back tomorrow because we loved it so much! We had cheese curds (the sauce was the best!), the mussels, pulled pork nachos and shrimp tacos! All were hands down the best we have had! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Don’t walk RUN to this place!“

“A big thank you to Kevin for providing the perfect venue for my husband’s surprise birthday party. Kevin is great to work with when planning an event. We were able to decorate and bring in outside caterers. Along with the selection of local beers on tap and fabulous wine, Kevin made a special barrel aged cocktail just for the occasion.“

“I reserved a 15 top for my graduation dinner, and despite being extremely busy the staff was on top of everything. They were extremely kind, quick, and willing to support my group in any way. Would absolutely recommend shenanigans!! The food was incredible and so was the service.“

“We love Eiwa and especially Josie the manager. Ramen is our favorite lanzou and Tokatsu.“

“Went in on a crowded, busy night, but the bartenders were immediately responsive and friendly still. They have a wide variety of drinks, and all four that two of us tried were really memorable and unique. For sure a place to return to and try the whole menu“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“I love this place! I was in Pittsburgh for a work thing, and this bar was around the corner from my hotel. The atmosphere is amazing. It's a neighborhood bar where everyone seems to know each other. I love that it's not one of these places that tries to be all fancy and stuff. If you want to avoid those type of places, I highly recommend Birmingham Bridge Tavern. The food is damn good too! I recommend the fish sandwich and the Pittsburgh reuben. Drink well, eat well, and hang out with real people! Thank you BBT for an awesome Pittsburgh experience!“

“Right on walnut street! I was out with a friend and he suggested this place, I was there like 25+ years ago when it had another owner. So we went in, got some beers, and ordered. Beers came quick and cold! My friend ordered a hot turkey with gravy and fries, I ordered a hot ham and cheese. Side of bacon covered cheese fries....excellent! Prices were good, as was all the food and drink! I highly recommend this place. Don't miss out!“

“This is a nice venue with top quality music acts, very friendly employee's and very clean. There is a small parking lot and street parking. Very minimal noise level. They don't serve food but everyone goes to a place two doors down and brings it back. I highly recommend Moondogs!“

“5⭐️Friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious food.“

“I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Goldmark, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The DJ kept the energy high all night, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Nicole for making the whole process so smooth and easy to coordinate. Highly recommend this bar for any special occasion—definitely an unforgettable night“

“Great comedians, great nite, great entertainment. friendly staff! get down there...... x Thursday nites is comedy“

“Their Sunday brunch is amazing! Food is delicious and they offer a great menu. I recommend pairing it with some fun drinks and great friends. They also serve awesome drinks like mudslides, banana monkey, or dirty monkey, and some good fruity drinks, do not hesitate to name your favorite, or don't be afraid to try something new. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Servers are always great and pleasant from my experiences as well! Street parking only but it's free. It also may look like a "hole in the wall" before going inside but it's far from that. It's recently renovated and has a modern but classic bar feel and look. Just don't judge a book by it's cover on this place.

Parking: It can be a pain to park due to its street parking only. But if you can get a spot on the street it's located on then it's not bad at all. But it%“

“Dive bar vibe - Dark & Vintage. They're hot cheese balls were pretty good. They were not the best cheese curds that I have ever had, but they were decent. If you like your cheese curds extra cheesy, these are for you. We also got 2 burgers were which were extremely large, & cooked well done which wasn't very good. The fries were subpar and the chips were just plain generic ruffle chips -not made in house or anything. I would have loved another option to not have a side. This place was not super expensive which was cool but probably wouldn't come here again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“love this place! our first visit as growing bourbon connoisseurs, and our bartender dominic did not disappoint! great food, amazing bourbon, fantastic service, wonderful atmosphere.“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Drinks are amazing! 10 for 10 no notes!“

“If you like hood bars this is the place to go. They have pool tables and food but I never ate there but I heard the food is BOMB! You also have to try those jello shots that Auntie makes which are very strong. My only GRIPE is that they use the state regulated pours so the bartenders really can't show you little love but at least they don't charge you an arm and a leg“

“Where else in town can you smoke a pack of cigs that came out of a retro machine... drink cheap beer and eat the largest chicken wings I've ever seen in my life? Also you're technically allowed to graffiti in the bathrooms, just don't write on the pinball machine. The jukebox is really cool too. I won't be back for personal reasons but I liked sitting in this bar even when I stopped drinking, it was cool to see everyone else having fun. The BBQ wings are seriously delicious (why are they so big??? Not complaining just impressed) and there are always weird movies playing on TV, and they write a fun little quote on the chalkboard daily which was honestly my favorite part. It's gross in a good way 🩷“

“best dive bar ever. Always good people“

“The chicken was awesome. I heard the drinks are good, strong, and cheap. Definitely a chill vibe. Tight space, but good for relaxing after a long day or catching up with friends until midnight. It started to get really crowded after that time. Security is present. Street parking available.“

“Food was really good and made fresh and the service was Great! Our entire group was impressed. They also have a great Happy Hour and jukebox!“

“To Randy Kovac, All I have to say is BS, to your review, and how could you see the bartender ignoring your call?? Lmao. If you was there and needed cigarettes, no matter what time or whoever was there, employees or customers. And needed cigarettes, you would have received cigarettes even if you didn't have any money. So why don't you say anything about you abusing dogs? Or what about someone saying something about you that's not true on the internet?? Wouldn't like that would you.. and the animal abuse is true. Ask WTAE, CHANNEL 4, WITH THE ONLY HELICOPTER IN PITTSBURGH“

“My husband and my mom threw me a 40th birthday party at The Monkey Bar. We had the huge porch to ourselves, wonderful wait staff, and the management was great to work with! Highly recommend looking into this place for events - truly perfect evening!!“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“Super fun and welcoming atmosphere!! Everyone is lovely, the cocktails are creative and delicious, the food is great, AND the patio out back is awesome!“

“Love visiting condado butler street when i’m in the lawrenceville area. It’s such a fun vibe & the food is always a 10. My #1 is the chorizo queso. Definitely a very well-managed location. Ask for the employee Phy if you go! Can’t wait until my next visit!“

“We went there one night with my husband’s cousins. It was a lot of fun! The drinks were great as well. I love the one with juice of a whole fresh orange and the one with fire( I forgot the name). We stayed until 2 in the morning and got tacos on Carson st. Felt exhausted the next day lol.“

“Excellent fish, great top-shelf drinks and volunteers that can’t be beat. We try to make them all!“

“It’s the Grown & Sexy people place wrapped around the Chill Vibes for me✨Food is also on point giving the perfect neighborhood hangout for all around good socialization.👌🏾“

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience here. Coming in as a first timer there, I expected “first timer treatment” (you know how it can be when you’re not an established “regular”) but instead was greeted with enthusiasm, kindness and an eagerness to deliver fantastic service! The venue is clean and beautiful from the huge big screen TVs, to the high-tech bar with built in wireless chargers all the way to the cleanliness and overall appearance of the bathroom. Everything is clean and new, and there is a ton of space and a lot of bar seating! All of the staff members were fun, polite and extremely vigilant in providing top-notch diligent service, and all of our food was incredible too! Thank you so much to Heather and Britain for a wonderful first time experience! This place is awesome!“

“Wide variety of Genres of Music throughout the Months, Live Music and Event Venue. Great Drinks, Polite and Kind Staff! Great Sound System. I had a Great Night here, I am sure you will too.“

“Such a clever, well done, historical, smallest, greatest bar ever! Definitely worth stepping off the noisy street for a cocktail!“

“Great prices for the beer and they have the coolest staff and a pool table in the back! Definitely one of my new favorites!“

“Awesome dive bar, cute decor. Bar staff is friendly and added custom touches to our drinks! Juke box with excellent music crankin’. We didn’t have the opportunity to eat - but definitely recommend the drinks!!

Parking: Parking can be a little tricky, fold in your mirrors.“

“First-time diner yesterday. Lunch. Interesting menu. The food was very good. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere was pleasant. I also got take-out, which was well packaged. I will definitely return. Highly recommend.“

“This Yinzer gem, was literally a 2 min walk from my air bnb of Suismon (Hooters floor mat😉🖤💛). Not a local, but they made me feel like a local on my first night, and I came back every night and met the locals as if I were one too. Same for Grand Brew, if you find this helpful tell them Keto Ryan from Las Cruces says hello 👊). Was captivated by the IC Light neon signs outside, Clement mural b Raymer, and new friends. If you want a true taste of Pittsburgh go to Verdetto’s and Grand Brew, and IF you are good people, you will fall in love as I have. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 Anything less than a 5 star review for these spots tells me you are probably a karen.“

“The best place in town for good food,great live music and the best staff around.“

“Randy was our first class bartender and was knowledgeable polite &friendly PGH tortas was the food truck for the new fangs beer release and they provided a five star taco experience - duck carnitas, rabbit tinga, gator po boy, nopales and beef tongue. All juicy choices featuring the perfect combo of acid, fat& sweet heat.
The beers featured the marzen - best Oktoberfest of the year. We went home with some coffee porter &the scent of the head alone was transformative.
The owners and brew masters work hard and it shows in the quality. We will absolutely return. Thanks 4pts!“

“We got the Lent special and I am allergic to fish (not shellfish) and they opened a new fryer to cook my food separate. Nowhere has ever done that for me. We will be back!“

“the band, the staff, the atmosphere, are all genuinely wonderful. The band members themselves bring all of their own flavors forward from their independent styles of music and meld them together into a wonderful performance every night. you'll never have a dull experience at Pittsburghs premier hot spot for night life!“

“Favorite traditional after work Pittsburgh neighborhood bar....add some of Pitt's best and brightest, a lot of fun.....Trivia nites on Wednesday are entertaining as the crowd is generally younger and the kids have a unique sense of humor....“
