The Grumpy Beaver Pub

Seriously amazing food at this unassuming spot in Beaver! Visiting family, and they all spoke so highly of this spot and I can see why. From the red pepper soup, to the pirogi with kielbasa, to the Rueben, and even the brussel sprouts were spot on. My family lives in the area and said that not a single thing is bad on the menu! I loved how much corned beef the Rueben had with so much melty cheese. The sauce was excellent and not overly spread. The read pepper soup was a favorite, and the toast squares were so nice to dip in! A late lunch at the bar meant the place was to ourselves, but the service was great and our bartender made sure our drinks were always filled. Like this classed up dive vibe, and I would come back just for the soup!

First, the menu has expanded beyond what is shown in the pictures here. See them on FB for the most recent.I have to say, the wait was a little long (40 minutes from seating to serving), but the minute we tasted the food, the wait was forgotten...and my perspective underwent an important adjustment.The wait becomes less of an issue when what you are waiting for is arguably the best in its class. My wife's Reuben and my Philly Cheesesteak were exceptional and, from significant experience, have no equal in the greater Pittsburgh area. The Reuben was the perfect combination of a crisp bite on the outside with the tender contrast of juicy corned beef and a sauerkraut and dressing combination that were perfectly complimentary. The Cheesesteak was equally juicy with perfectly sliced sirloin, grilled onions, peppers, and melty cheese packed from end-to-end in a fresh Mancini's sub roll. The menu says 12oz., but it felt like a full pound. This is the work of someone with great commitment to what they do, and I can only assume that the rest of the menu also excels.So then...if you have to wait a while for something that someone just pulled from the freezer, then yeah...get mad. In this case, a little extra wait just gives you more of an opportunity to anticipate an extraordinary and finely crafted meal.

Don't you love when you just stumble upon a really great place?Our server Deanna was so warm and nice with a GREAT tip about their house made dressing, which turned out to be incredible!My gyro wedge salad was huge and DELICIOUS! My husband got the miso correlone (hot Italian sub), my dad got the cheesesteak, and my mom got the goat cheese and beet wedge salad and everyone absolutely loved their food. We weren't sure how the food would be since this is a bar with food so we were really pleasantly surprised when it was very very good. This place is really pretty on the inside (historic architecture) and the outdoor patio was nice too. Everything seemed very clean, including the restroom. My husband said there was a really cool lounge upstairs as well. Overall we had a fantastic experience!

The food here is great, and the menu options are diverse - something for everyone. We were already familiar with the chef's expertise, so when we heard he was opening a new restaurant, we had to try it. The service is excellent, as well, and we enjoyed dining on their back patio - a nice place to relax and unwind with good food and good service. Highly recommend!

I didn't have a great first experience here. It took forever for anyone to wait on me at the bar & the that finally did seemed not very experienced. I wasn't given a beer list or a food menu. I had to ask about beer & she wasn't familiar with what beers were what. I had been hoping to get a bite to eat, but I couldn't even get a second beer and it wasn't very crowded. I've always liked this place...it was two other places before it changed to Grumpy Beaver. They have a lot of potential but never enough staff & often an over ambitious menu. I'll give it another shot & hopefully will have a better experience. You can park on street or in church lot up the road. They have a nice outdoor seating area & patio. They also have live music.

This was a hard review to do. After eating our appetizers, I was thinking I was going to be giving this a 5! The atmosphere in the bar area was great and our waitress, who was also working at the bar, was really attentive. I also loved the black silverware. We got the Brussels sprout appetizer, Phenomenal, and the meatballs were really good too. Then we shared the Polish Bowl, which was good. But the reason for the 3 stars is that we didn't get our meal for almost 1 hour and 40 minutes after we ordered. We feel like we will for sure they this again, but we might need to pick and chose our food.

I am gf. Not my choice. But, wow. Food was delish. I had the meatball entree, cauliflower flatbread and the lettuce wedge. Yum is all I can say. Chased it with a couple of good Riesling wines and I am one happy gal. Ambiance great. Not hot, not cold. I'm coming back. Italian dressing was great as well. And all this on a Monday night!! Loved the cute waitress as well.

I loved the cold soups I had both blueberry and raspberry, also tried the brussel sprouts and they were delicious.

This is a great place to eat, meet friends, and enjoy yourself. The mojitos are fantastic, but then again I've never had a bad drink or a bad meal. I love the staff ! They are so attentive and friendly. It's like a neighborhood bar with a warm and friendly welcoming atmosphere. You also need to try the upstairs for specialty drinks and a very relaxing atmosphere.

great food, great atmosphere, yummy drinks! waitress was kind!!! i got pimento cheese stuffed pretzels and a corona sunrise and had a great time with my friend here
