50 Best Pubs near Swissvale

“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 🙌🏼“

“I had some good food and good beer. Location is nice (good parking) and all comes with it. Great people to talk to and I'm from 70+ miles away.“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“Can’t wait to go back. One of my favorites places in Pittsburgh“

“Old school Steel City vibe with good food and service!“

“Fabulous dinner, unique menu, we had Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, Guinness Roast Beef, Fish and Chips, and Salmon, then shared the Bread pudding, all was excellent!“

“The Bar Tender was Very Sweet Tonight. I Think Her Name was mallory. Excellent service. Well Worth Stopping in. 😊“

“Great food and cold beers with a nice patio!“

“I I love this place.. All of the bar maid's are so nice. I have a few favorite's like Michelle, Jody, and Elise. Maxwells is a clean quiet peaceful little spot that go can go to and have a drink or two and don't have to worry about looking over your shoulder or watching your back while you do so..“

“awesome place good people one thing though the bartender cherise I think that's how u spell her name is super iggnorant.bartenders drinking behind the bar half drunk. but hey I like it“

“Jesse and Crew are fantastic and always on point for a great bite to eat ! #OrderTheEileen #BestPizza“

“love this bar! chill atmosphere“

“Clean and good service. They have pool, darts, and outdoor seating. You can order food at the bar from Portofinos next door and they bring it over so you can eat at gormans. Their food is amazing and so reasonably priced, they also have different drink specials everyday, and many of them. The bartender Sam is a sweetheart and great at her job. She recognized me and my boyfriend by the second time we came in, remembered what drinks we got, and shes great at making conversation. We will definitely keep coming back“

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

“My friend and I stopped in on our way back home from Pittsburgh. He said he was there once and they had excellent wings. He wasn't lying. They are whole, jumbo wings and they fell off the bone. Kaylee, our server and bartender was wonderful. The cook, I think it was Joe. They were out of a certain wing sauce, but he made a new batch, just for me.
I'll be stopping again soon.“

“Delicious food by a wonderful local family!“

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

“Great food and wait staff!“

“My husband and I stopped by yesterday with our young autistic son. We gave the staff a heads up that eating inside may or may not work depending on our son and how he was able to handle it. The people were so kind, understanding, and accommodating and did everything they could to try to make our visit possible. From giving us the choice of where we'd feel most comfortable to sit, to offering cartoons and crayons. They even made up a batch of fries before we came in so our son would have something to eat as soon as we sat down. Unfortunately we weren't able to eat inside but we did get our food to go and it was delicious. Being the parent of an autistic child can be challenging, and it makes all the difference in the world to feel like there are people who care. They absolutely made our day. Thank you so so much.“

“We went to this bar/restaurant today and sat at a table in the bar area. Brooke was our wait person. We ordered specials, stuffed cabbage and mashed potatoes (real) and chicken BLT, which was a salad. Everything was good. Hands down the best chicken fingers I have had. They were crunchy and tasted good. You didn't need anything to make them taste good. The prices were reasonable as well. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area!“

“Big portions, home cooked food. We go once every few months and I've never had a meal I didn't like. The French onion soup and the pecan balls are my favorites. Their pizza crust is probably the only thing I avoid; it's not bad, but it's not good.“

“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!“

“Duke’s is fantastic! Awesome food, service! Great atmosphere! This is a place I’ll continue to eat at when in the area! 👍👍👍“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“My coworker never had anything from Dad’s so I ordered tonight as I always do&he was blown away by how good it was delicious like usual??plus the staff is really great if u want to dine in have a beer Dad’s is absolutely perfect for it!“

“beautiful venue - excellent beer and food. music is top notch“

“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.“

“Lots of wing flavors and they came out hot and crispy! Between my husband, Dad and I, we had 4 different flavors: Cajun wet, hot garlic, honey badger, and jackal. They were all good! Decent beer selection. We sat outside under the tent which has three TVs. French onion soup, pesto flatbread, kids pizza, kids chicken fingers and salads were all good as well.“

“Great food. I reccomend it for the german cuisine. Gotta try the saurbrauten, but my fave is the kielbasa“

“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“

“I most always come here for takeout, and it's usually on a Friday. The place is always packed, but no matter how busy they are, I'm always singled out of the crowd and greeted, and my food is always delicious and ready right on time. The wings are fantastic! One of my favorites in all of Pittsburgh.“

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

“I don't drink so I don't frequent bars often. This is the 2nd time in a year I've stopped her, it was my birthday and just didn't want to be alone.
The young lady bartender happened to be the same one from like 6 months ago.

She recommended the Peach Margarita and it was delicious. Drank two and had a decent buzz going.

I waited for my food and when it came, it was flawless. I mean, for bar food.....its bar food but that shit was actually phenomenal.

All in all.....this young lady bartender makes me feel so welcome and not a bother at all..I would go back just because whoever that girl is on this 9/30/24 evening around makes me feel welcome and like she's happy I'm there.

Their wings are fantastic.

Edit: to put it in perspective, I first went to Carl's (nothing against Carl's).....i ordered a Guiness Draft and she must've heard Yeungling(spelling), so she gave me a glass of Yeungling. I'm too nice to say she messed up, I started to think maybe I did say Yeungling BUT HATE IT Why whould I say it? I don't even drink.

So my pathetic self sat there and tried to drink it. I took 3 or 4 sips, left a 2 or 3 dollar tip and walked out with nowhere else to go. Then I remembered how nice the bartender was at RoseCliff.....and could you believe, IT WAS HER AGAIN.

I've been married 18 years and I'm sure I'm much older than her so it's nothing weird like that but she is naturally kind and doesn't make me feel dumb because I'm not an alcoholic that knows about all the alcohol.

Whoever she is......pay her. Keep her. I don't know her name but I'm the guy that came in alone and got 2 peach margaritas, French dip and 6 wings to go. I added the "well done" to the wings late after I already ordered and them wings WERE PERRRRRRRRRRRRRFECTLY overcooked. No joke. Gotta bring my daughter next time (adult daughter)“

“If you want an authentic Irish experience, this is the place. Great service. Great music. And, of course, best pour of Guinness in the city. Don’t sleep on the Harp!“

“Lots of Bacon on the BLT, real Nieghboor good bar“

“Great place to grab a Guinness and a hot dog and watch Arsenal! Friendly staff and great atmosphere.“

“The epitome of a great pub experience! From its inviting ambiance to the extensive drink selection, it's a haven for socializing. The staff's friendliness and expertise elevate the atmosphere. With live music adding to the vibe, it's the perfect spot for a memorable night out. “

“Absolutely delicious. Good sized portion. The batter on the fish sandwich was perfectly crispy. Great seasoning on the fries. Will definitely be back.“

“The bartenders are super nice, fun and kind patrons and it’s my fav neighborhood bar. A must try!“

“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.“

“Mikes beer bar has great food and great service. He is a big supporter of our veteran organization. His servers are great .“

“Good service, comfortable atmosphere and delicious fish sandwich with sweet potato tots. As a side note, upon leaving, we noticed the sign on the door offering Veterans a free meal on Veteran's Day. Along with good food, service, etc., the establishment is a blessing to the community!“

“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.!“

“I ate before arriving, so I didn’t have any of the food. But the kitchen was pumping out orders the entire time I was there. Drinks were generous with alcohol. Bartender was nice. Atmosphere was light, like I came with one friend felt like I knew everyone else I encountered. Good music choices were made on the jukebox. I enjoyed myself.“

“This is the only bar open in port vue...It's a great place to be for a local watering hole..Lots of entertainment, they have darts&league,if you want to join...8ft.pool table& and a couple of machines& occasion ly have a D.J. They have daily specials on food&beverages...The owners are friendly&socialable, the bartenders are fun& friendly..That's why i love this bar!!!“

“they got busch and i like to have busch“

“One of my favorites in the city!“

“Unique and fun overall experience. Food was good but a little overpriced for what I got - shrimp and lobster Mac and cheese for $35 was overpriced for what was delivered, but it was still good. They’ve done a good job overall and glad to see a beautiful church repurposed. As a Christian, I was unsure of the concept and felt a little uneasy about the beer brewing stuff being at the altar, but overall glad the building is being repurposed and not torn down, and still highlighting the beautiful architecture.“

“i have taken several people here visiting from all over PA and even Florida. Everyone loved it, it's like a dive bar from the past. Not fancy on purpose, not pretentious on purpose. The food is off the charts, wings, burgers, cheese steaks. They even have a tent set up for the covid. Do yourself a favor and find this gem.“
