William Penn Tavern

The wings at William Penn Tavern were a definite highlight--Spicy Ranch and General Ratt's were decent. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell flat.The drinks were quite disappointing. The first round of drinks had dead flies in them. After bringing it to the server's attention, one of the drinks was remade, only to return again with flies floating in it.The tables were sticky, adding to an overall sense that upkeep isn't a priority here. While the drinks were inexpensive for the area, the low prices don't justify the lack of basic hygiene.I'd come back if cleanliness improves, but as it stands, I can't recommend this place beyond the wings.

The William Penn Tavern is one of the few places that my girlfriend and I both agree on when it comes to bar food. Since moving to Pittsburgh back in 2015, it has become a location that I always recommend to friends. Their wings are seriously good. Always $1 each and they are fried and coated to perfection. I typically order the Buffalo sauce which is an awesome blend of spice and pickleness. All of their appetizers such as the basket of fries come out in large portions.I will note that the WPT is busy on nights when Pittsburgh teams are playing. The environment is typically loud between the music and patrons. I have no problem with it, but expect a loud environment. If you want a calmer lunch, it's a great spot for bar food!

Another visit to WPT and another dozen kitchen sink wings. Very good. Highly recommend.Service was great as always. Got a seat as soon as we walked in on a busy Saturday evening. Will be back soon.

The old WPT was definitely very different back in the day. It's pretty big in here and the crowd is definitely a lot older than the college crowd back on Walnut St. More young professionals hanging out and watching games. It's a typical dive bar with beer and well drinks and bar food. The food looked ok. The drinks were ok. It gets pretty crowded on a Friday night and they do card at the door. It's also pretty loud in here, you have to scream and everyone's screaming so it adds to the noise. Nice spot for the nostalgia and when you feel like getting wings and a beer. Service was kinda slow and if you sit at a table, you order at the table and not at the bar. The waitress did check on us a lot which was nice.

William Penn Tavern is a great local neighborhood bar. Open seven days a week- perfect spot to watch Pittsburgh sports! Serving daily dollar wings and beer specials. Home of the Original John Daly and Kitchen Sink Wing Sauce. They have a typical tavern-style food menu with wings, salads, wraps, sandwiches and all the delicious fried appetizers. Highly recommend their fried pickles- they aren't chips and aren't spears- more of a pickle fry! And I always find myself getting their amazing wings- I change the sauce each time I go so I can try something new- I have liked every single one. Grab a stool at the bar, along their open-air windows or a seat at a table and kick back with some friends with enjoying a cold one and some good food.

Great Pittsburgh bar. Great place to watch games or grab late night food since they're one of the only places with a late kitchen. I love the wings here!!

The service and environment was amazing! We walked by this restaurant and decided to give it a try and did not disappoint. The food was good and the prices were great!

My favorite wings in Pittsburgh! I've been coming to the WPT since it was in Shadyside and have yet to find wings that top theirs. The buffalo sauce is just the right spice level and nice and vinegary. The wings are crispy. They don't skip on the sauce either so definitely want some napkins. Additionally, the fries are always crispy + well seasoned, and the ranch is great for dipping both wings and fries. This is a casual place and most of the time, you seat yourself. No complaints on service, I've always found servers were attentive and this time is no different. WPT does get a little loud (touchtunes music) if you go later on a weekend. All in all, a great spot to get wings and catch a game!

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.

We came to try kitchen sink wings, and they did not disappoint. A little sauce heavy, but overall good. Great vibes, only street parking though.
