Ruggers is a gem I wish I'd found sooner. I actually lived across from them for 3 years and had only been one time for a trivia night. If there's one thing that truly stood out to me, it's how many veg options their menu has. It's hard to find vegan wings, even in a city like Pittsburgh. My friend and I split garlic parm, honey mustard, and melting pot seitan wings. Big, juicy, and flavorful=exactly what we wanted. We also split a grilled cheese with pickles added inside (the correct way). The food was all great, but I need to point out THEY HAVE PUDDING SHOTS!! They are delicious and dangerous. I could eat 20. If you're looking for a bar to hang out at that has great vibes, great food, phenomenal deals, and trivia- this is the bar for you!

Man I'm sad all I have is this blurry pic but this felt like the quintessential pittsburgh bar! The vibes were pretty good in here early on a Friday night, not too busy but not quiet at all either. The staff was real nice and they had really fun Halloween decor. The body bag cracked me up. They have pudding shots which were really good and reminded me of dirt and worms you usually get as a Halloween dessert. The fries here are pretty good too. Definitely a cool locals bar in Southside to check out if you're looking for a low key spot that embodies pittsburgh.

NGL this grilled cheese - cheese burg combo was a dream. If you ever thought to yourself, "this burger could use a grilled cheese," "this grilled cheese could use a burger" or never thought any of those in your life but love GOUD cheesy food- this one is for you. The Texas toast (don't know if that's what it was but that's what it felt like) was buttered to the gawds above. Ruggers knows the CTS (cheese to sando) ratio and went above and beyond the call of duty. The burg patty was flavorful itself and held its own up next to the overflowing cheese mountain that surrounded it. The fries were a perfectly salted addition to the sando. It was as mouthwateringly delicious as it looks and #GOUDapproved from all angles over here. Mondays are also taco night so you gotta pick up a few tacos SIGNATURE! Grilled CheeseburgherOur 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich with American, Mozzarella, and Swiss. But with a burgher patty in the middle. Substitute our Banzo Burgher patty to make it vegetarian.$11

I visited this place twice while in Pittsburg. I came during the happy hour and got me a few well drinks and a liquid marijuana as well as some fried pickles. The bartender was friendly and bubble and it was chill vibe in there. Prices were cheap and I really liked that: I came back later that night for a few drinks but that bartender was bland. Overall I would come back when in town again.

I love the vibe of this bar! Feels very much like an authentic neighborhood sports bar. It's a small, cozy space with bar service only. The bartender was friendly & quick with our orders though. She was also knowledgeable about their selection & answered our questions. They have a big beer selection, so there's something for everyone. The wings looked delicious, and I definitely want to come back to try the food at some point!Food: N/ADrinks: B+Service: BAmbiance: B+

This local bar sits back off of Carson next to the Birmingham Bridge. It's your perfect local dive and for the holidays they transform it into a yinzer wonderland. The decor is fun and they have lots of holiday and regular drink specials. We didn't eat while we were there, but all the food that came from the kitchen looked delicious. The crowd is chill and it is a great place to watch a Sunday Steelers game. The bartender was super friendly as well.

Best bar in Pittsburgh. Great cheap food. Their weekly specials are amazing. $2 Taco Mondays and $10 Build your own burger Tuesdays can't be beat. Also, they've got a great rotating draft selection.

Issa bar with my favorite kind of Pittsburgh chaotic energy. It's in no way a football bar but every time I'm here there's a football game and I like the atmosphere. The drinks are cheap, the food is delish and I'll keep coming back every time. I love that parking is rarely a problem here and the tater tots keep me coming back.

This place is a fun pub. Only have enjoyed beers and cocktails here but like the selection and bartender was great! Rugby was on one TV and anything else on the other screens.
