Great dive bar. What a Pittsburgh dive bar should be. No frills, cold beers, chalkboard menus, great cheap food- the pierogis and wings are both incredible. Punk vibe. Fun and a good time always. Great ownership and good people.

#1 dive bar ever! The Squatch and company are a Polish Hill institution (they should all be institutionalized). Good people and always a good night.

5 stars because this is truly a slice of heaven on Polish Hill. The food is nothing fancy but delicious nonetheless. Yinz should be warned this is cash only! There is an ATM inside though. Going to be added to one of my favorite places to drink in the 'burgh.A bonus is the old school juke box with everything under the sun on it.

I was here a few years ago with my buddy Bob, also a Calif guy and we both loved it. By a wild chance in hell we found seats at the bar, the place was packed, it was loud, and there was some music on in the background - heard faintly from the noise. Look if you don't like crowds and noise - this place isn't for you. The beers and cocktails were very cheap - I could say inexpensive but that's just not right here. I was having an odd conversation with the bartender - we were not agreeing with each other but both laughing about it. You gotta dig it when you can laugh - and I got the feeling he doesn't agree with many people. Ended up being the last ones out - great bunch of guys working here - Working man's bar (shed your attitude before you walk in).

Last night my Son offered to take me out to dinner. It was Tuesday night on Butler Street and we wanted to try something new. After walking around for half an hour or so, we got in the car and Google food. We ended up at Gooski's Bar in Polish Hill. Great bar food, nothing fancy, served hot n fresh. Funky place Diverse crowd around 8:30 9 ish. Nastrovia!!

Gooski's is a Pittsburgh institution, a place that every Pittsburgher should visit at least once. If you are coming here purely to write a review for Yelp, then this is probably not the place for you, they even have that written on the mirror behind the bar. I believe they even inform you to go back to the South Side.Anyway, out with the better half and it was of course time to eat, his decision this time, and he chose here. I was down with it as I love me some good bar food. We came in and sat right at the bar, with that, great service pursued.We first placed our drink order, while we waited for those to arrive we decided on what we were to have to eat. I already had it set in my mind that I was going to get pierogies, I paired that with a burger. All we had to do now was wait for that to arrive. In the mean time I took in my surroundings. I love a good dive bar and this place does not hold back. It is what you expect when you think of a dive bar. You walk in and it is very dim, red lighting fills the bar area, smoke floats in the air and noise is abundant. Loud talking coming from everywhere, people trying to have conversations and laughing the night away. ATM is available in here as it is cash only. Graffiti covers everything, including the ATM.Now, back to the food. Our burgers came out first. Topped the way we liked and ready for consumption. That burger patty was amazingly cooked. There was even a nice crisp to the outside of it. Paired with my selection of toppings; lettuce, onion, pickle, and mayo, it was a great way to start off a meal. Then came the pierogies. There was something familiar about them. They were great, potatoes and cheese enclosed in a perfect pasta. Came with sour cream and sauteed onions. I kept saying how great these were and the bartender overheard me. He informed me that the pierogies come from Pierogies Plus. Hey, I'm fine with that, they are great pierogies, they may make them, but Gooski's prepared them perfectly.

This usd to be my favorite local bar. I started almost 40 years ago and came back in the last COVID years. I found that the owner and weekend staff are still the same as they ever were. Recently I've found that the some of the bartenders that work during the week are thugs.Contrary to the ethos of the establishment they provide preference to there friends
