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 🙌🏼“

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

“Live music, open mic, karaoke!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Prices are terrific, service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is what you'd expect out of a tavern, with a bonus from some potted plants.

The soup du jour, a spiced black bean soup, was out of this world. The fried pickles were the best fried pickle wedges I've ever had, with some terrific batter. The wings were good. The sauces were delicious, especially the spice golden BBQ sauce we had (golden goldenboy, I think). The only thing was they weren't crispy.

We'll definitely be back though.“

“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“

“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%“

“Cash only joint! Smallish neighborhood gem. Looks unassuming from the outside but it's just perfect for the locals. No beers on draft and that's a little sad but the delicious food totally makes up for it. The bartenders/waitstaff are always friendly, attentive and funny. Since we moved to Mount Washington, we're pretty much slowly becoming regulars so there go our plans to lose weight this year ?“

“Amazing quality food. I couldn’t be more satisfied and surprised. Every item we ordered was beautifully arranged and very flavorful. I highly recommend anyone to try it. Gyoza, fried tofu, Mongolian beef, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen all perfect!“

“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.“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“best dive bar ever. Always good people“

“Absolutely enjoyed this bar! Their drinks were good and the night my friend and I went they plaued great music. Since it was snowy, there wasnt a large crowd, but we had fun regardless.

The bartender was friendly and gave us drink suggestions and made good talk. We watched sports on tv, talked, and overall had a good time. Bathrooms were clean, dancefloor is fun.

Parking: Street parking“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Just started going to the Theme a couple of weeks ago. We were looking for a change of pace and more for our money. The Theme did not disappoint, great drink specials & daily specials. Food is great especially the sandwiches and pizza.“

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

“This place ROCKS. I really can’t pinpoint what it is, but every single time I’ve walked through that door, I laughed till I cried, drank good and danced all night long. Julie behind the bar is a very important piece to this puzzle. Best bartender ever, hands down!“

“its awesome. and I have to type to hit 25 Characters on rhe review.“

“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!“

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

“Super cool vibe! Live music, huge selection of cocktails and nice people🤙🏻“

“Get your drink on, get your smoke on and get your grub on and get your groove on. Classic dive bar. Know what you want to order before you're at the bar. Some booth seating with a long bar with stools, back room with pool and live music.“

“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!“

“awesome place good times with old friends from the neighborhood and Rick is an awesome owner who cares for his customers“

“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!“

“Great people great place and even better bloody Mary's“

“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.“

“I went to a show and some drunk kid kept spilling his drink on the floor. I literally watched one of the owners come up with a mop and wet floor sign. There's something to be said about venues keeping the general public safe while providing an optimal entertainment experience. I cannot wait to watch this venue flourish!“
