Fat Heads Saloon

★★★★☆ 4 (987) • $$

"The last visit to Fatheads was in 2003. A stumbling lad who stumbled into this eatery with a silly notion to be quenched. Is it true them damn samwiches is as fat as my head. To my utter joy the cholesterol raced through my veins lubricating all sorts of divine enchantments to the wonders that be still a beating heart. I was alive then and daggonit that Fat Italian sandwich delivered delight. Many moons had passed and in 2025 I found myself in Pittsburgh, PA a stones throw from a mountain of memories. I convinced my wife to let us go and off we went. I entered the establishment that I had been craving for two decades and found myself transported back in time to that season of decadence and delightful abandonment. The sights, the smells, the food oh the fragrance of long forgotten days that began at 7am and ended at 3am. Rested after a night sleep i ordered the Fat Italian once again. My souls thirst had been quenched my deliverer of flavors. The meat so thick, so poignant, so unmistakable Pittsburgh with its bold outpouring of a simple idea. Work hard play hard live for eternity the yokes removed from my tastebuds. The hard boiled eggs perfectly light and fluffy with texture. The rosemary mayo an ode to herbology. Maybe I was a small town girl on a Saturday night dancing like a maniac 20 years ago but here at a proper lunch hour I sat back and feasted and relived that small little portion of a time travelers fable where I touched that time long since forgotten and enjoyed this treat as time stood still. Fates abatement struggles to endure but I am nothing short of satisfied that like the very blessed union of our souls this establishment endures!I did get too excited to eat it that I forgot to snap a pic.

Cinderlands Warehouse

★★★★☆ 4 (292) • $$

"We were exploring the strip district and stumbled upon this location. Let me begin by saying it is incredibly large, and there are plenty of spots for people to hang out, enjoy some beverages, and play games. If you have a large group, this is the perfect place for you to bring them!They offer a huge selection of beers as well as seltzers and sours. They also have a pretty extensive menus so it's a great place where you can grab beer and food. My husband had the Cinderfest (they are Oktoberfest style beer). He really enjoyed it and loved that it was easy drinking. I started with a flight and was able to sample several different ones but by far my favorite became the black and yellow yinzerade. There is a parking garage that is located literally like right behind them or right beside them so it's perfect. As parking can be very tight from a street parking perspective."

OTB Bicycle Café

★★★★☆ 3.9 (295) • $$

"Big fan of this dive bar! Perfect place if you need quick food and a drink, and can sit at the bar. Also great to go with a group after a long bike ride on the trails! All the wraps are 10/10. Pump track wrap and rail trail are my favorite. I've had the best burgers ever here but they are not consistent. I think it depends on who is cooking because sometimes the are cooked to perfection, and other times they are dry and over done. But the toppings are always unique and good. Service is what you would expect from a dive bar, always friendly and attentive but let you be with your food and beer. Cool place."

House of 1000 Beers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (135) • $$

"House of 1000 beers is AMAZING! I honestly have never had a bad experience whether having a drink and food there OR getting it to go. The pizza is ALWAYS consistently good. I order extra cheese and you can ALWAYS tell they put it on. The poutine is amazingly good too with a huge portion. Love the staff and this spot. Lucky it's so close to me!"

Vintage Estate Wine and Beer

★★★★☆ 4.4 (106) • $$

"This place is an absolute gem! So many beers and wines to choose from. Please note there is a bottling fee to purchase from the store and drink at the bar or table. To avoid, order from the menu and take your store purchases home. The flatbreads are phenomenal; Hello PIEROGI, I'm thinking of you. The setting is very laid back and comfortable for adults and families alike."

Grapperia

★★★★☆ 4.4 (93) • $$

"Wow, check you out Grapperia! No seriously you aren't much to look at. Completely walked right by you without noticing you there. But then you must have winked at me and I found myself agreeing to walk on in.It's small a few round tables and a small bar with probably 8-10 stools. We were lucky both times we stopped in and found a spot at the bar. The bartenders here are no joke, quite the mixologists. Our first time here we ordered off their drink menu but we were in route to a local brewery. This last time it was all Grapperia.I ordered the Ryes and Shine. The bartender did an amazing job as I told him what I liked and what I didn't in recommending the drink. Perfectly balanced, no sugary sweetness here. As I was enjoying my cocktail I say him make an espresso and then mix it into a shaker. I said hey what's that?! Yanno minding my business. An espresso martini. Ok I have had espresso martinis but I think this ranked up there to oh the best ever! It was just that fresh espresso woke me up, I liked it so much I ordered two. Great stop."

Lincoln Avenue Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (86) • $$

"I'd Never heard of Lincoln Avenue Brewery, until I attended an event recently.From the moment I walked in, it was as if I was in an episode of "Cheers;" or what I assume the show is like I've never watched it ‍. The point is, it was better than anything I could've assumed it would be like. Grant, Lisa, and the staff were very personable and make you feel welcome from the first step inside. I gotta be honest, I'm not a beer drinker. "So why did you go?" Why not? Experiencing new things lead to discovery. I tried the Lincoln Avenue Aye Matey area salt/lime gosey, bulldog dipa, ESB, and the mead. All solid beers, but I can't get over how delicious the sour was. I'm normally not one to like like any lemon/ lime flavored things because they usually taste artificial. However, the sour was so natural and refreshing. Definitely made me more curious about exploring sours.While the beers were noteworthy, and the chicken Caesar wrap was delicious, it is the pickle dip I keep telling everyone about. I got a mouth-watering flavor that made me feel ready to party. I took some of the dip with me and I wish I had taken more. Does anyone know if they sell a jar of this? I want to buy some to bring to share at parties!!I definitely plan to return! I'm currently trying to vet the people that can hang and will mesh well with the laid back vibe. Or maybe I'll just return on my own. Either way, stop reading this and go check this little gem out!"

Ben Franklins Taproom and Grille

★★★★☆ 3.6 (108) • $$

"We went to this place for lunch on a Friday. The ambiance is exactly what you expect in the area. Beautiful, spacious, with nice decor and large TVs. We were seated immediately. The service was friendly and timely. We ordered pretzels, baby back ribs, a burger, and peanut butter and chocolate pie for the dessert. Everything, including the ale drink, was great. The pretzel was warm and fresh. The burger was prepared exactly as my wife had ordered and expected. And the baby back, oh my Gosh! Hands down, the best I have ever had. The price was also reasonable. We really enjoyed our visit and will visit again."

Rudy's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.6 (60) • $

"I just love their subs. The bread is excellent I order the cheese steak, Italian, Capitola and cheese and the fish and cheese subs."

Arsenal Cider House & Wine Cellar

★★★★★ 4.6 (33) • $$

"It's probably for the best that this Arsenal location is out of my way, because I ADORE it. Honestly, Arsenal Cider is one of my favorite local businesses. While their original Lawrenceville location has tons of historical charm (in both the building and the neighborhood), this spot has the appeal of being part of Soergel Orchards. The cider house is a perfect addition to the beautiful market and shopping spot - and not just because the cider is made from Soergel apples!This location is located in one of Soergel's "old timey" buildings - "old timey" meaning it's totally comfortable and feels modern and has air conditioning, but it's modeled after an old school log building. It's a nice balance that's perfect for Arsenal and for a Soergel cider house.Walk in and you'll immediately see the bar; to the left of the bar is a cozy communal area with several sets of tables and chairs, suitable for enjoying a drink or even a show when one is put on. The decor is Revolutionary themed, tying directly into the history behind the naming of Arsenal (which ties into the history of its Lawrenceville location). My advice, especially for first timers? Don't be afraid to ask for samples during a visit, as Arsenal's batches of brews rotate throughout the year and are worth exploring. Also don't be afraid to ask questions - in my experience the people who work at Arsenal have always been enthusiastic and eager to share their knowledge with guests. And since their ciders run the full range from sickly sweet to dry dry dry, their input may be the ticket to finding your perfect cider!Whether you just need a growler refilled during a day of shopping, or you're interested in relaxing and sharing a drink, this is a great space that is well worth your time. Here's to my next visit, Arsenal!"

Draft Restaurant & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (55)

"The food is always amazing! This is one of my favorite places to eat in Morgantown. I get the lettuce wrap every time. The tots are cooked to perfection. They have such a nice crunch to them. The wings are divine! We got lemon pepper dry rub and some buffalo sauce to dip. The gumbo is always a favorite. They make the best gumbo in town. It has some heat to it. Service is always great! Everyone is so kind and attentive.Ambiance is a fun sports bar. They always have tvs on and they play some good music."

Flipt

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (43)

"I don't know why the reviews are so low. We smelled the burgers before we even seen them. They didn't disappoint. The Rivers Sauce is delish. The burger wasn't dry. They know burgers! The fries are amazing. I also enjoy that it was past midnight and the customer service and quality was on point. I don't even gamble but I will be back for one of these burgers."

1700 Penn Ave

★★★★☆ 4.4 (15)

"Went here for best in the burgh tour. I tried a ban mi type of barbecue it was really good! I can't waitTo get back! They will be having barbecue version of different types of food around the world so I'm very excited to see what they have"

McMinn's Irish Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (13) • $

"I've been here a few more times and had a couple of meals, so am updating the review. The food is strictly pub fare, with wings, burgers and sandwiches. I had a chicken sandwich called the drunken bird or something like that, and a steak sandwich. The sandwiches are really good and pretty big servings. They come with either fries or chips, and I like their chips, which are homemade, not out of a bag. All sandwiches on the menu are $7.50, a good price. Overall, this is a nice neighborhood pub."

Speals Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (10)

"This is bar has been a fixture in New Alexandria for a long time. It is very much for the local crowd of regulars. The outside could definitely use a remodel. It's saving grace is the opportunity to hear great blues music from area musicians on the weekend. Not many places offer blues. The drawback is that seating is minimal. The night I stopped in, it was very crowded with locals. We stood by the bar for about a half an hour. Even though, I enjoyed the music and people watching. People from all walks of life. The bartender was friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. The food is said to be good, but the kitchen was closing by the time I arrived. I guess some would call Speals a dive bar. There is nothing derogatory by that. I would say it is like a honky-tonk, though honky-tonks are more country music. I liked the live music and atmosphere. 3 stars for appearance; 4 stars for live music and friendly bartenders."
