50 Best Bars near West View

“I came here with two friends and our bartender was Bruce. He recommended various beers, different cocktails, and helped us pick the perfect playlist. He was fabulous and cannot wait to keep coming to this beer—half Bruce and half the drinks!“

“I'm confused. I grew up in this area and I thought it was called "Drinks"...? Was the name changed to "Westview Grill" recently?... either way.. No matter what the name is. It's a nice local bar. One of the few places you are able to smoke in.. Whether that's a good or bad thing it's your personal opinion. But it's a friendly local haunt....“

“Live music, open mic, karaoke!“

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

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“These folks are doing some fantastic work with their cocktails. Great flavors, great creativity. Staff is also fantastic. Enjoyed my brief conversations with them around current menu and my particular off-menu order.
5/5 would cuss respectfully at the bartender again.“

“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!“

“Such a fun venue with lots of exciting shows! I've been for the recession pop party in May and we're headed to the Taylor Swift party tonight. The hot dogs are delicious (they have lots of specialty dogs with various toppings!) and the drinks are absolutely phenomenal. The people who work there are great, I accidentally deleted the email with my tickets and Mariah emailed me very shortly afterwards and got me taken care of! It is clear that Bottlerocket takes pride in their shows and their contributions to Pittsburgh culture! We can't wait for even more fun events in the future!!! 🩵🩵“

“Great bar, especially on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights“

“Reliable neighborhood bar with great bartenders. Fridays during lent they have a semi-limited fryer menu because they are selling so much fish because it's a great deal, quick & good. Its beer battered & fried. Its pretty large. For take out, ask for the bun to be on the side and to not salt your fries or put the salt seasoning on the side (they can be a little salty but if you have a beer in hand, you're good to go).“

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

“My experience with Hysyde was very wonderful. They’re very professional, wonderful vibes and good food. I want to say that I tried their sour cream and onion chicken and it was delicious. I plan on coming back again. This place deserves 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“Gotta be some of the best bar food in Pittsburgh. The pierogi in spicy garlic parmesan sauce are one of our favorite bites in the city and the hand cut fries are terrific, always with a nice crisp on them. A very good craft beer selection and great service as well. Order a trash can if you're feeling frisky 🦝“

“Delicious cocktails and small plates. Love the bar and outdoor areas! The owner is the sweetest and an amazing hostess/chef. Very fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“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....“

“A 60-something local rocker, when I asked him which bar in Pittsburgh best captures the spirit of the beautiful ’60s–’70s, said: “Squirrel Hill Cafe.” I think he was right. There’s no pretentiousness here. Food is just food, drinks are drinks, service is service, and quality is quality. Time seems to have stopped here — and that’s a beautiful thing.“

“Great Food and drinks! Really fun atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Varied music genre’s and groups; other activities as well such as karioke, thoughtful owners, expanding food menues based on recommendations and concerned about the surrounding community regarding noise a debris created by some late night customers. Pizza coming to the menue this week!!“

“Been here a couple of times and it’s turning into one of my favorite spots in the area. The food is always great, the ciders are good and the staff is always friendly. We went on a Thursday for Bar bingo and a Wednesday for trivia and had a blast both times!“

“Best spot everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Dive dive dive. Perfect dive bar feel. Jukebox was old and lovely with great options. Bars in a pretty residential area. Smoking inside, beers in cans and seating in the front window. It’s very divey, beer and cig vibes. Pool table in the back, bartender was an older chill guy with a badass attitude.“

“This is a really cool local bar on the Northside. The beers are all made in-house and taste amazing. You can sit at the bar or in the back where there are couches and pinball machines. Throughout the week they have food trucks or popup food events.“

“Slavs Club is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is super friendly – you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The staff are warm and attentive, and the vibe is relaxed but lively. The food is good – fresh, flavorful. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or hanging out with friends for the evening, it’s a great spot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back place with good food and great people“

“Wanted to make sure I wrote this review bc of my amazing experience. First, to get this out of the way… really cool vibe, great beers at great prices, and a great spot for local music. I went recently to see Sacred Monsters who were in town from Philly. It was the lead singer, KP’s birthday and we wanted to do something special for her. Long story short, Toy is amazing. Not only did she help with the surprise but she… on her own… ordered cupcakes for KP since I couldn’t find a cake that met her dietary restrictions. She was so helpful and enthusiastic about helping. I can’t wait to go back.“

“My wife's friend had a little party there and we had a nice time and the fried chicken was on point so I definitely want to thank the cook. The drinks were pretty good too but if there was one thing they could improve on it is making Margaritas which weren't too good but I will still give 5 stars ?“

“Stopped in here to use the restroom after a long trip and as soon as I walked in I knew I was coming back. The staff was very friendly the food smelled great and the building inside and out was really cozy. Only got an unsweet tea this time but will be back very soon to try the food“

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

“Service/Food is great. Wings are killer. Really nice feel to the place with TVs as far as the eyes can see. Perfect ballgame bar.“

“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“

“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.“

“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, friendly atmosphere, BEST WINGS!“

“Great neighborhood bar since 1939“

“Dave’s Tavern is a small bar, with good service and good food. There was one hard working person cooking and serving, so bring your patience. Typical bar food, burgers, fried appetizers, wings, etc. Reasonable prices. No tap system, bottled beer and liquor. You can sit at a table that seats up to 7 or at the bar. Cash only.“

“love this place. good music box, tables and dart boards. staff is awesome!!!“

“Porky's is a hidden gem in PGH. The BBQ is fantastic. The smoked wings are some of the best I've ever had and the atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a relaxed yinzers bar. It's a great spot to watch sports and the staff is very accommodating to most requests.“

“I recently reserved the confidant (the speakeasy connected to the Goldmark) for my proposal to my now fiancée. The entire process was incredible. Nicole and the staff are kind, responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to help make the night go just as planned. Nicole helped me plan every detail, including personalized drinks and coordination with a photographer. I would definitely recommend the Confidant if you are looking for great drinks, a cozy atmosphere, and amazing service. Our time there could not have been better!“

“Drinks are wonderful bar not watered down like most bars, the food is amazing best wings in the city“

“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.“

“Great bar and awesome staff! Fun, different, and super welcoming — really a bar for everyone. Drinks are made with fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice, which is such a nice touch. Good mix of music and a great vibe overall. My sisters and I were visiting Pittsburgh for the first time and ended up here two nights in a row. We would’ve gone the third night, but it was Sunday and they were closed. Total hidden gem!“

“Very great bar, very clean,, well taken care of! The bartenders are phenomenal! 💞“
