The Best Sports Bars in Pittsburgh

Triangle Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (208) • $

"The sandwich I had was good, but it was nothing great or special, especially for the price. I first heard about this place on the TV shows that featured it, and I always thought that if I made it back to Pittsburgh, I'd like to go. Now, I'm disappointed. The bread was good. The prices were a bit high. The quality of the product was ok. I don't feel bad that we went. I also never will feel the need to go back. The bar was old. The barstools are a much mash of discomfort. They don't take credit or debit cards. It's strictly cash only. They do have an ATM on site, but there's a $2.75 surcharge. They also have minimal amenities; plastic forks and paper plates. This place was more fun when I saw it on TV and anticipated what it would be like. Now that I've been there, the fun is gone. They're still trying to relive the glory days when the mills were booming. Those days are over. Unless you like the nostalgia of an old building with an old bar in a town that is barely hanging on, and with minimal comforts, go somewhere else. It just isn't worth the trip or the cost to go here. You can find places at least as good nearly anywhere."

Gordo's Tacos & Tequila

★★★★☆ 4 (162) • $$

"While up in the Grand View area we stopped in here for a cool drink and their margarita menu caught our eyes... They use freshly juiced fruits in them (grapefruit, lime, etc), which is my preference for a marg. We got a regular margarita (lime) and a grapefruit. The grapefruit was great! Flavorful and fresh - both definitely helped cool us down and tasted great. The menu looked decent, but we weren't hungry. Service was mediocre, the bartender helping us seemed pre-occupied with other tasks. The place is decent, sort of an industrial vibe to it.It would be worth stopping back in again, maybe trying their food too. Very walkable from the Grand View overlook area (the Mon incline, etc)."

SoHo

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (230) • $$

"The service was good. My waiter was very attentive and took care of things, like refilling water, without me asking. The restaurant is spacious. Plays 90s music... which I was softly singing along too while enjoying my food. My only critiques would be the rice needed a little bit more water to be fluffier, and the fruit flies could be easily taken care of with a solution."

Dee Jay's Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (180) • $$

"Stopped here for a few drinks and appetizer on our way back from a weekend trip! this location has indoor/outdoor seating, convenient parking (free) and located right off of 22.We ordered 5 of the hot garlic Parmesan wings. I am a picky wing eater and I rated these very high! They had the perfect crunch and cooked just right. The flavor was extra spicy, which we love. The stuffed pretzel was one medium size pretzel "bun" with melted cheese and honey mustard. This was also delicious and a great appetizer choose for a quick snack!The service was good! As soon as we sat down we were waited on and everything came out in a timely manner.The vibe is loud but not overbearing, a sports bar with a lot of tv options and a good mix of crowds"

Bulldog Pub

★★★★☆ 4.4 (107) • $$

"Ordered wings and fries from here and they were fantastic! Would highly recommend!!The overall place is more of a dive but a very hole in the wall gem and I can't wait to try the brunch :)"

The Sports Grille at Cranberry

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (200) • $$

"Some of the better chicken wings in Cranberry, if not the best. Even when they are busy the servers are attentive and kind. We enjoy taking our kids here, can't beat the happy hour pricing either."

William Penn Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (155) • $

"Your friendly neighborhood bar with several screens for sport, touchtunes to for your listening pleasure and fantastic wings. The bar staff were pleasant. The patrons were courteous. The beer selection is large and inexpensive. They also have a variety of NA beers to choose from as well. $1 wings all of time. They are extra crispy and the "kitchen sink" sauce is divine. Perfect, chill, spot to catch a game, beer, wings and some great conversation. Thumbs up."

Barrel Junction

★★★★☆ 3.6 (137) • $$

"It was decent - lots of food and super crowded. The ordering experience was a little complicated."

Carnivores Restaurant & Sports Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (165) • $$

"Definitely a casual spot. Good place to catch a game as they had a lot of TVsPlenty of beer here, advertised like 500 beers. Didn't try any as was a business lunch Ordered the Barrel aged steak salad with French dressing. Was good, plenty of steak over a salad. Steak was very tastyService was good. Nice and helpful without being too much!"

Dino's Sports Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (144) • $$

"Excellent wings and good sandwiches but service can be sketchy. We come here on occasion as the atmosphere is very welcoming and its a good local place to catch a game on the multiple big screens, and a cocktail."

Mario's East Side Saloon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (143) • $$

"With the shadyside arts festival they should have been better staffed or maybe we hit it wrong. Not overly crowded but service was way too slow and 45 minutes plus wait for two apps of sliders and another that never arrived until we asked it to be taken off the bill because we had to go. Took 15 minutes to get two beers. Not good. Good part. Sliders were good. Sorry for the not so great review. Yes we would go back but did affect our browsing festival time being there an hour and a half."

Modern Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (91) • $$

"I'm such a fan of Modern Cafe! Even though I no longer live in the area, any time I'm on the North Side this is my go to spot. The vibe is super casual - seat yourself. They have a large bar menu with local brews & cocktails. Their menu is really big with lots of options. I love the cheese sticks & zucchini plank appetizer - it comes with marinara and a horseradish sauce that is delicious. My go to has been the Turkey Rachel. It's delicious and very filling. It doesn't come with a side but we always get a basket of fries for the table to split, they're crinkle fries too (my favorite). Service is always quick and friendly. I always forget to take pictures though, but trust me, you don't want to miss out on this spot!"

The Saloon of Mt Lebanon

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (111) • $

"Popped in for dinner on a Monday, a couple hours before the Steelers game, had no issues getting a table but it filled up closer to game time. Our server was nice and order was accurate but there wasn't much sense of urgency. Good selection of drinks and seasonal beers and the food was good! I liked the wings a lot but wish the butter garlic was a little butterier. Sort of felt like a dry rub. Either way, will go back at some point."

The Pub in the Park

★★★★★ 4.5 (56) • $

"I have been wanting to go here for years and finally made it this past week. We had a group of 7 and sat on the back patio. We were there around 6pm and I was surprised we were the only ones sitting there! I did venture indoors at one point to use the restroom and it was packed inside. They had some decent beers on tap that I partook in. I also ordered the soft pretzel sticks, mushroom and Swiss burger and chicken tenders for the kids.The food was good, not awesome, but good. I would definitely try more things off the menu! If anything I would come back just to sit on the patio for drinks. Good place for kids since we were the only ones back there! Plenty of street parking available."

Hardwood Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3 (116) • $$

"A friendly sports bar atmosphere that carries itself with great food options. It's great for a quick appetizer snack or a full meal."

Marino's American Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (55)

"Small eatery. Most of the open space was devoted to the bar. Tables were tightly fitted into the remaining space. I like that they dedicate most of their taps to local breweries. I think I counted at least 12 beers on tap.Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a place for locals to frequent due to limited competition in the area. Menu offered plenty of options. Perhaps too many options for a place this size. Portions and prices were average. Food quality leans towards basic. Good stop for game day."

Fiesta Acapulco Mexican Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (48) • $$

"Stumbled upon this gem while in the area. Warm chips an salsa were the perfect start. I had the flank steak tacos that came with rice, beans, cilantro, onions and tomitillo sauce on the side. Normally steak tacos at most mexican restaurants are dry and chewy meat but that is not the case here. The meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My SO got the burrito Diabla which is spicy fyi he enjoyed it very much.Service was good, inside is updated with restraunt portion and bar portion also with tables.I even took my left overs to lunch the next day and I never even usually do that with mexican. Worth checking out!"

Frankie I's Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (93) • $$

"Amazing food and great service! Nice country atmosphere! Highly recommend the pizza and wings!"

All Star Sports Bar And Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (164) • $$

"Big wide opens space clean and decent, lots of TVs. Long wait time for food although it wasn't packed. Had the Single patty smash burger which felt like a slider, Cost 9.99 and it came with fries, While good the only thing I would say is that it really wasn't a smash burger cause where's the smash and crisp to the patty? It felt like a partially smashed burger I could have made at home myself. also drank club soda and a rum pineapple."

Pour House Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (61) • $$

"It has been a long time since I have been in a restaurant that provides such good service. My friend and I sat on the patio and we're so impressed with the staff who walked around to make sure we were doing well. Our waitress continuously came back to make sure we were happy and did not need anything else"

Pleasant Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (59) • $$

"If you've been to P Bar in the past, you wouldn't even recognize it now, since the remodel! It's beautiful, with plenty of seating indoors, as well as ample space outside, too. You'd think with the reno, prices would go up, but we couldn't believe how affordable brunch was. I had the egg sandwich and my friend had one of the omelettes. Both were served with delicious potatoes and large portions for just around $6! Their Bloody Mary was pretty good, too. We'll definitely be back!"

The Hangar

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (101) • $

"Went with a group of friends and it was great. Ordered drinks and wings and both were great. Bingo was different but really fun. We actually went back the very next day bc the wings were that good. Nice lil spot."

SchoolHouse Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (69) • $$

"We stopped in with friends after a funeral service.we all just ordered drinks and beer. Service was on the ball and on top of getting us refills. Apparently they have some really good Bloody Mary's. Mules were pretty good too. Beer selection was pretty decent too. Wasn't loud or obnoxious in here like some small bars can be. We might go back if we were in that area to try something off the food menus"

Colasante's Ristorante & Pub

★★★★☆ 3.5 (57) • $$

"Sunday, July 19th while in the Morgantown WV area decided to have dinner at Colasante's Ristaurante and Pub. I went on their website to see what interested me and fell in love with a photo of their Stuffed Banana Peppers with Italian Sausage.We drove over to the location and for about 6pm not very busy..went in and to our displeasure found it was a order at counter and grab a seat style dining. We prefer table service. I felt rushed trying to read menu over head. Several items I wanted they no longer served. She said recently changed menu and it was not reflected yet.So we went with small 10" Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza, a order of the Stuffed Banana Peppers and a order of Garlic Bread in a basket. We seated ourselves and placed our number on our table like directed.After about 15 minutes she brought out the Peppers and Pizza but no bread. She said she would be right back, but it was 15 minutes later...The pizza was okay, not the BEST but it was pizza, there was 4 slices and we left one behind. The Garlic Bread was late to the party but hot, fresh and good! The Stuffed Banana Peppers (which is why I went) was very disappointing! I was presented with Four Sliced open Peppers with Four Italian Sausage links laying sort of beside them with melted mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce...looked nothing like the advertising photo. The peppers were NOT STUFFED but sliced in halves long ways...very disappointed!! The sauce was good, the peppers were okay, they were a little al dente' for my taste and preference. The Italian Sausages were slightly spicy but again NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.$24 for dinner and left $3 in tip bucket where you order. I had lemonade and Tony had Budweiser. Nothing to brag about. Don't think I will be going back anytime soon. I recommend because you're experience might be better than ours. Nothing we ate left us craving a repeat performance!! Hope you like them!!"

Dom's Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (50) • $$

"My best friend and I were on our way to Cleveland for Memorial Day weekend and were starving as we approached the Pittsburgh Pa area. Ron's was the 2nd or 3rd pizza spot that came up in the search results. The reviews were great so we decided to give it a try. And we were happy that we did! By far, the best pizza I have ever had in my life. We got the pepperoni and sausage, yum! I highly recommend this establishment if you are in the area. Sorry that there aren't any pics of the pizza, we ate it too fast!"

The Tap Factory

★★★★☆ 3.9 (45) • $$

"This was our first time eating at this establishment. It's an open layout. The bar is on the right when you come in, dining areas are on the left. They have booths and tables. We choose a booth that had a good view of the TVs so we could peep the hockey game. The place is clean, but it was freezing where we were sitting. We were close to a door, but no one went in or out of it. You had to use the bar door to enter. Our server was good. We didn't have to ask her to refill the drinks, she kept them coming and was attentive and got our orders taken and brought out correctly. She didn't forget anything. Attentive. I like that.The specials were steaks. I ordered the Delmonico with a crab cake, the potatoes, green beans and I added a house salad. I ordered my steak medium rare. It was delish. The green beans were good, but cold. The crab cake on top of the steak was hot and delicious. My daughter got the spaghetti and meatballs. The portions were huge and it was also delicious. I tried it haha! They used fettuccine noodles which was nice and the sauce wasn't overly spiced, it was just right.My nephew ordered boneless hot wings and cheese fries, and even though it wasn't a night they do wings, they still made them for him. He said everything was great.The cook also came out and asked if the kids had any but allergies and proceeded to bring us out a complimentary dessert. It was fried dough, chocolate sauce, peanut m&ms and whipped cream. It was very tasty.The food quality was great, portions are huge. I couldn't eat half of my 12 oz. steak. They season the food nicely and it's not over done. The staff is nice and welcoming. This is probably one of the nicest places to get good food in the valley, hands down."

Krakatoa Tropical Food & Spirits

★★★★☆ 3.8 (47) • $$

"Actually thinking about rating this place 5!Unique and outstanding food. I got the Pad Am, an American style Thai dish. Wife and sister got burgers. Bro-in-Law got wings. Food was so very good! Drinks also unique and good! Service was great! Friendly! Place is clean! Some old school games, PacMan, Pinball to have some fun. Lots of tvs. Will be back!Changed my mind. Couldn't think of anything wrong! 5-Star!"

Bigdogz Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (61) • $$

"Good Food + friendly service. A favorite place to eat. Breakfast, lunch or anytime . Good basic Bar. Nothing fancy. PLUS ‍Sports ‍"

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."

Level 20

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (58) • $$

"Visited tonight for fish sandwiches for lent! It's my favorite time of year and we loooove to try new places!! Before we went, I was super excited to eat their sandwich because we had heard good things about it!! When we arrived, others had ordered the fish and it looked amazing and was huge. I ordered my fish sandwich, and so did the rest of our table. It was okay, but just ok. It was not as good as I expected it to be or how it looked to be. It is a beer battered cod (which is my favorite) but it's really lacking the beer battered part. The batter used seems extremely thin on the fish. The proportion of fish to batter was absolutely lacking. Some parts of my fish sandwich were really thick too which I don't prefer. The fish was really watery/slimy too. It caused the bun to be soggy. The fish almost had an uncooked/slimy taste/texture to the thicker parts of the fish. I think it could have been cooked longer (was cooked enough to eat, but not fully to take away the slime factor). The fries were really good though and the food did come out extremely hot! The wings were very good though. Would get those again. We got the buffalo wings and weren't disappointed!"

Rick's Sports Bar

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (117) • $$

"Meh. I know a lot of people love it here but I don't understand why.It took forever for anyone to acknowledge us when we got there (even though several servers walked past) and finally i stopped one of them saying we wanted to get a table. I received immediate attitude and was told "we're a bit busy" but that didn't make sense because there was basically no one there. Apparently the servers are supposed to bring you popcorn. I didn't know this but my son asked where it was and when she brought some over almost threw the baskets on the table.The menu was average sports bar type food with a few salad options. I was impressed that they had three different types of fries. I ordered the cheese and gravy fries thinking it would be similar to poutine. The fries themselves were fine, but the gravy had a weird lumpy, almost congealed type texture. The portion was huge so I guess that is why they were so expensive. But I would have preferred better quality over the huge quantity.There are TVs everywhere which definitely remind you that you are in a sports bar, but more than half of them just had the direct tv logo bounding around them when we were there.I won't be back anytime soon and will try to steer friend or family someplace else if they want me to join them."

Bedford Tavern & Seafood House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47) • $$

"We stopped here coming off the turnpike thru PA. So worth it! Great meals great service, loved hearing the history and seeing the quaint building and downtown area. Would love to visit again!"

Brothers Pizza Vienna

★★★★☆ 3.9 (37) • $

"Excellent flavor and freshness. Ordered online for delivery. Order was on time and accurate. The flavor in the tomato sauce is bonkers delicious. The Italian sub is popular for a reason. It's top shelf pizza and sub. Definitely in the rotation. Highly recommend what I had. The bread/dough is phenomenal. Soft and chewy."

Kennsington Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (58) • $$

"We have reservations for a family gathering for a party of eleven and enjoyed good service and great food at reasonable prices. We were seated on the outdoor patio and it did become a little warm, but at least the server kept the ice water and adult beverages coming! I ate a baked potato which was enormous and a side Caesar salad which I liked. The fresh made chips were a lot for an appetizer. My husband ordered the blackened fish tacos for his main meal, and he liked them. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves in this relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful view of the golf course. I highly recommend the place!"

Fajita Pete's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (29) • $$

"Stopped by to try a fajita. Was told by a friend that they opened last week but turns out today is opening day. Ordered a mixed fajita where you can pick 2 of the proteins, ordered the shrimp and carnitas. You get lot to eating everything came out piping hot. Probably enough for 2 people. Ordered the house made corn tortillas. The fajitas come with chips and salsa, pico, refried beans, some lettuce, cheese, and guac, and some rice. Built my fajitas and enjoyed the shrimp and carnitas. The chips were good and the salsa came out warm and had cilantro in it. A really filling meal. Nice to have in the neighborhood."
