30 Best Sports Bars in Pittsburgh

“My recent experience at City Works exceeded all expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly smiles from the staff. Despite it being a busy night, the service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of fantastic.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The spicy shrimp was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of kick to tantalize my taste buds. The fried pickles were crispy and addictive, and the smokehouse burger was an absolute delight – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each dish showcased the skill and expertise of the chefs at City Works.The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of my visit. It's clear that City Works puts effort into creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for their guests.Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a place to indulge in some delicious food, I highly recommend City Works. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“This was my first time here. I highly recommend. The environment was friendly and full of different groups of people having a blast. Some were watching the game on the big TV's, some were playing the available board games. The music was poppin'!!! People of all ages were there which I thought was cool. Everyone was having a blast and I will be back. Staff was friendly and helpful!“

“First Time Trying Food At Twin Peaks in Robinson, PA. Server Was Very Nice and Went Over Menu With Us. My Husband Not Knowing How To Look Up Menu Using QR Reader. I Did Mine In 2 Seconds...Easy To Do. She Stopped Atleast 5 Times To Check On Us Throughout The Time There..Refilling Drinks and Making Sure Food Was Satisfactory. Very Clean Place. TVs Everywhere. Definitely Will Go Back. Awesome Place“

“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 Cheeseburgher Our 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 sometimes have a hard time finding this little neighborhood bar. It's a gem. I feel like it's kind of like a phantom bar that phases in and out of existence, like something out of Brigadoon. It defines the word 'cozy'. The food went from reheated pizza to (now) very respectable bar food. It's always chill here, and the prices are right. Bar staff are consistently friendly.It's good that this place is hard to find. It's for locals, and people that know how to behave in bars. If you can't respect that, you shouldn't go.“

“A real Pittsburgh icon!Their hoagies are legendary!A very nondescript place a nondescript location.... AND INCREDIBLY MOUTH WATERING HOAGIES!!!!!!I highly recommend you go....it is impossible for you to walk away hungry!!!!!The Disabled Vet“

“The Bulldog is an all around lovely experience. The food- absolte 10/10. Staff 10/10. Drinks 10/10. I'd like to keep this a secret but it's too good to not share. Not to mention, the owner is a gem and deserves every bit of the business.“

“Gordo's is great! Let me preface this review by saying I love Nashville Hot Chicken but outside of Nashville, TN is has been difficult to find a "hot" chicken that compares to what I've had in Tennessee. Some other places around the Burgh have Nashville Hot Chicken but the spice combinations don't work. At Gordo's the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco is so good with a perfect spice blend. It tastes like hot chicken tacos that I had at Pie Town Tacos in Nashville. Gordo's is the place in Pittsburgh to satisfy your hot chicken craving. Not to mention, their other menu items are delicious too. And they have great margs. My second favorite menu item is the Churoli- A churro and cannoli hybrid that rocks!“

“A nice neighborhood bar. All of the staff are very friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Lots of tv’s to watch a game. Mostly domestics on draft with a few crafts. Their smash burger is one of the best I’ve had anywhere in a long time. For the price, it absolutely can’t be beat (hint - go on a Wednesday). I’m telling you can’t get a better burger for the price anywhere.“

“Always have a good time here! The bar is clean. The bar food is good. And the drinks are delicious! Bartenders are all super friendly and I love when they have alexia events like the Meatball contest, etc. My only complaint... it can be kind of loud. Sound deafening materials on the ceiling should definitely be in the future. Otherwise, call me a regular!“

“I have always wanted to visit this place after hearing so much about it from all of my friends that live here in town I was pleasantly surprised by the fun atmosphere there's a lot of places I go to alone where it feels weird to sit there alone but I was more than happy to observe all of the boisterous and happy groups of people just living their best lives love the atmosphere love the beers and I hope to be back someday“

“I'm not a fan of cooking my own food when I go out to a restaurant. However, food and service were good. This was our first visit so the waitress that delivered our meals explained proper technique for cooking on stone. Next time I will order a meal that doesn't require the hot stone.“

“This is me and Barry White, the owner! He is an amazing person, bought me a few drinks,made sure that I had a drink, and opened up the other part of the bar that also had pool tables, darts, and a jukebox. It was quieter in there, and he was kind enough to even turn the heat up for my friends and I. I love going here and will keep coming!“

“Stopped in for the first time, bartender was super nice and attentive. Ordered food which came out quick, and was very good at a great price. Not sure about the bag of chips, but have seen this before. All in all a nice place with nice people.“

“Great neighborhood bar. Friendly attentive staff. Food not as good as pre- covid and definitely a little pricy....but good for bar food. Great jukebox and tons or tvs. Clean bar. Daily specials. Parking can be a pain in the evening. My go to bar.“

“Best neighborhood bar you can find.Locals are welcoming and bartenders are great. The view is great and the owners are kind - everyone looks after each other and unless there's a random j**** you'll be treated well.tldr/ Great prices, great view, great neighborhood.“

“My girlfriend and I went here not sure what to expect, but we had a great time. Our host for our booking was very kind and explained the rules of how curling worked and worked with us to teach us how to properly throw. He also helped us keep score. He was very encouraging and kind and made our experience fun. The rinks were groomed nicely-not like the olympics but for a local curling venue-was very pleased. Just want to thank the staff for their friendliness and fun that we had. I cannot remember his name, but he was a big reason of why we enjoyed this experience.“

“Been here through many iterations and happy to see it doing well again! We stopped in for drinks while visiting my daughter and learned they were having karaoke that Friday night. Not only was the place lively and fun but the staff there participated and made it more fun. Gretchen is an awesome bartender! Food was tasty and fresh. The KJ that evening is very entertaining and really got the crowd going. We will return on Fridays for karaoke for sure!“

“Friendly owner and staff. The food is very good as well. I'm a regular hereParking: There is a parking lot that is free to parkKid-friendliness: People bring their children in sometimes.Wheelchair accessibility: Their is a ramp. No steps to climb“

“I love this down to earth blue collar lounge. They keep it simple and so are the prices. It is a great place for a burger and beer after riding the mountain bike in South Park. They can handle a group of friends too. The waitress and cook are very accommodating. They have daily specials like mum use to make. Who does like grilled cheese and a cup of hot tomato soup?!“

“Had the capone. Great sandwich, huge. Good value especially for airport food. Service was extremely efficient and friendly. Fries were good too. Sandwich has coleslaw fresh vinegar based and fries on it. Get a draft yuengling one of the nation's oldest breweries for good reason. No better beer.“

“Super super friendly staff very fast with drinks and our food came out pretty quickly as wellAlot of food I got 12 wings big wings and decent amount of frys and it was karottate no I didnt sing but great place to get something to eat and or drinkParking: Big parking lot“

“Old school authentic neighborhood cafe with full bar. Adorable Greek owner, a talker *love it*, entertained us with life experiences, cafe history, three owners over 91 years…award winning foods…the gyro, the spicy sicilian, and the Spartan (the hubby had this, fabulous), each one, separately, winners of first place, three years in a row. This was our first trip to Pitts and our very first stop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The food! The welcoming company! felt so at home, far from home♥️Thank you!“

“Murphy's a great, old-school, no-fuss dive bar with a dying neighborhood vibe, which the next generation will not know that they are missing until it's too late. It's super friendly, but in representation by the staff and the locals that crowd around the bar, and as it's a cash establishment, it's more than affordable. It's a real dive bar, so the beer and drink selection will not be too extensive, but if you're looking for 60 different kinds on a rotating tap, you're in the wrong place. It's dimly lit but no longer smokey, which is great when you just want to hide from the world.Nothing bad to be said about the place, and it's nice to be treated like you're part of the neighborhood, even as a married-on person (my husband lived here about a decade earlier, and so he's still recognized by staff and regulars).“

“Come for the wings, stay for the wings! Not a fantastic beer selection, but if you want domestics on draft, this is your spot. It's perfect for watching whatever sports game you're looking for too. The staff is super nice and it's actually kinda quiet on a weekday...as long as it's not a playoff game.Yeungling for $3 on Wednesdays? Yes please!“

“Staff, food, and vibe is amazing. I’ve been going here for about 6+ months and the bartenders always greet my girlfriend and I warmly (we’re the 1 yuingling draft and bottle couple!). Doesn’t matter if it’s been a few days, months, or years, the staff at Saloon will always welcome you with a pint and open arms!“

“Biggest game of the year for this bar and they have 2 or 3 people trying to serve hundreds while the owner just sits at a table and ignores thousands of dollars in sales walking out thebl door. Out of 2 of the top 3 domestic beers before halftime. Nice spot for Eagles fans to gather but you're better off BYOB.“

“Great spot to watch a game and drink domestic! The vibe in here is super friendly, very yinzer. They have all the domestics on tap and a good variety of bar food. One of my friends ordered the cheesesteak and said it was, "very good". We shared the hot pepper cheese balls. They were definitely crispy and cheesy, but not hot (spicy)! Just fyi in case you're worried about the heat. Definitely get them!“

“My steak salad only had steak and lettuce not worth 19$ I would suggest a few things like chunks of cheese fry’s tomatoes cucumber s to make it worth the money , but the chicken rolls and pretzels bites was very good . The place inside is open very loud . I would eat there again . And on a nice day so I could have a conversation without speaking loud to be heard“

“What a fun little spot to stop in for a drink before & after an event. We dropped by for the 1st time b4 the Pens game (& after if course). The owner Jimmy was so gracious, so friendly to talk with. The crowd wasn't too bad (we even started taking to a few other PENs fans, that was nice) , the food was really good. So if you're looking for a good place to hang out, grab a bite & a drink be sure to stop at Shale's. I know I'll definitely be back.“
