“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“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 🩷“

“Townie bar with a hip vibe? Check. Excellent drink selection? Check. Local owner that you’re happy to support? Check. Clean bathrooms with great smelling soap that costs more than what I buy for myself? Check. Feels like a safe space? Check. What more could you possibly need?“

“My husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner here since it is where we had a our first date. They were so accommodating and even helped us to move locations last minute due to weather. The drinks were delicious, as always, and the staff was so kind.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Home away from home...From out of town? Miss the old neighborhood? Like Blues and R@B? You've found it...at the R BAR... 5 mins. from downtown(avoid rush hour) The owner is a semi-retired musician..and his wife besides being a "Hottie" LOL..Is the salt of the earth...If you make it there on Sundays..You'll find one of the best"Bloody Mary's" around...and a 6 piece band called "The Midnight Horns" who all lead their own bands doing the week,but come together at the R BAR to roar..(Jazz,R@B,Blues)..I must also mention 2 of the best bartenders around..Toni and Billy.will treat you like family...So why not give the R BAR 5 stars? Only because of it's size,and no food..however a Pizza parlor opened next door with a wide variety of treats...good enough to feed those Boilermakers..from the R BAR...“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 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!“

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

“This is a great asset to Mt. Lebanon, growing up in Brooklyn, I am accustomed to pretty darn good pizza. East End makes a SOLID Sicilian! The beers are very good, pricing is a bit strong, I think they would do well to ease up a bit there maybe a 2for deal or something on the beer and the pizza they would do more volume and get more exposure. I frequent this place, and everything I have had so far has been like a Pittsburgh 9/10 or better. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and it's a great way to wrap up a long day!“

“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!“

“Lots of great memories at this local Halloween haunt!“

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

“Old school authentic neighborhood cafe with full bar. Adorable Greek owner, a talker *love it*, entertained us with life experiences, cafe history, three owners over 91 years…award winning foods…the gyro, the spicy sicilian, and the Spartan (the hubby had this, fabulous), each one, separately, winners of first place, three years in a row. This was our first trip to Pitts and our very first stop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The food! The welcoming company! felt so at home, far from home♥️Thank you!“

“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!“

“Good Food, Awesome Staff, the amount of pictures of the owner was a touch I found odd, and something called "CumbBurger" had me laughing.Extra star given to offset Karen's one star because she brought in a party of 8 when they were already busy.This place is small, I would never try to bring more than 6 people at once, even then you would need 2 tables.Cumb, you seem like a fun guy, maybe even fun enough to bring in more business by just being there to talk to, but it kind of felt like a museum dedicated to your accomplishments.Keep living life to the max, I'd definitely come back.“

“Great bartender Great wings“

“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....“

“If you are looking for a local Pittsburgh bar, than Lefty's in the Strip is an experience you do not want to miss! Lefty's has great service, the best priced drinks, and an active atmosphere! Don't be intimidated by the crowd, there is room for everyone! Leave your signature and stickers to memorize your visit!“

“Garvey's is a fantastic place nestled in Southside slopes.We stumbled upon when we were walking from the slopes to the flats. Bartender James was a lot of fun. They don't serve food but you can order in. I showed up with my whole football crew and we brought snacks and sandwiches. Felt just like tailgate! They have a fun bowling game in the back room. We also bought Garvey's Tshirts and hoodies. What a blast“

“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.“

“Love it“

“Such a beautiful place with amazing employees. This is the place to be! Cheap drinks and loving people.“

“Great neighborhood bar since 1939“

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

“A little bit of a belated review, but my husband and I went in November 2023 for our wedding anniversary. Our table had the cutest happy anniversary sign, the waiter we had was beyond sweet. The food was absolutely delicious and the speak easy was awesome. I love everything vintage and it was perfect. We found our new anniversary spot.“

“I went in there the other day about 3 weeks ago got some chicken tenders tossed in some garlic parmesan hot and order of fries fries are delicious get a big order people there are so friendly even though I'm a Cowboys fan lol.. I will definitely be back“

“If you're seeking a neighborhood bar in Carrick that offers Monday night 50-cent wings, boasts a historic charm, and exudes a "Cheers"-like atmosphere, Sophie's Saloon is a standout choice. Located within Carrick, this bar is steeped in local history and community spirit. The ambiance at Sophie's Saloon is reminiscent of the classic neighborhood bar, familiar faces, a cozy setting, and a sense of community that makes everyone feel like a regular.“

“We had a rental place down on Sycamore and we stopped here for a evening of libations and pool table fun 🤩 the bartender was great and the drinks and service were excellent. Don’t hesitate to stop here a great Pittsburgh Bar. We stopped here several more times during our stay. Also good bar food. A cash only establishment“

“Great food and drinks. Had the pepperoni pizza, and I was surprised by how good it was! Even had a side salad and it was really fresh and well put together. You can tell the staff and owners genuinely care about the customers. Definitely recommend, and I will be back!“
