This is the second Hop House in Pittsburgh with the other in Greentree. Much like its sister bar this place has a custom built wood fired brick oven where they make wonderful breads, pretzels, pizzas... This place is more of a sports bar than anything else, they have plenty of pool tables, good food and they also have one of the areas best selections of beer which isn't bad either - I counted ...Read more

I really like to go to D's it's one of my favorite bars and it's within walking distance to my house which makes it even better! When they first opened there was a smallish bar, great hot dogs and numerous coolers and a back room with somewhat organized chaos of many many beers from around the world. Some years later they have over 5 signature hot dogs, hoagies, some of the finest traditional ...Read more

Back when I first started hitting Southside bars, one of my favorite places to stop was Jack's on 18th. A few years later it was sold and then became Bar Southside. It slowly but surely started to suck. The dark interior and black paint didn't really match the rest of the bar, and pulling out the pool tables to make room for dancing left backroom empty most of the week. Now that the ...Read more

The BeerHive has the feel of a bottleshop combined with neighborhood bar. Located in the strip district, it has much more to checkout than just beer. Its a great spot to watch local sports as well as checking out local art. Every month there is a local art gallery provided by a rotation of Pittsburgh artists. I only had appetizers on my visit but I will make sure to try more next ...Read more

If you have been to Club Café in the past you will be blown away by the changes that the club has made in the last year while under new ownership. The entire bar is completely decorated with a relaxing theme that makes you feel like the place is part museum. The stage area has a wonderful fiber-optic backdrop that changes with the mood of the music. Club Café has a wondering drink selection ...Read more

Typically my reviews don’t start with a history, but I feel like I must in this situation. Mario’s East Side Saloon is located at the former location of Doc’s. I always considered Doc’s one of the cornerstones of Shadyside and made it a regular stop when I was in the neighborhood to grab a drink up on the deck. Since new management has taken over, they have done a lot of work on ...Read more

The Fox & Hound is a great place. If you like to shoot pool, this place has ten beautiful and well maintained pool tables. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the staff is friendly, fun, and helpful. It's can be a little pricey, but not too outrageous, however the specials make up for that. I have to make a rebuttal to those user reviews that complained about not being allowed to be loud at ...Read more

Located near the entrance to the Homestead Waterfront, just across the tracks from the mega-chain restaurants and shopping congestion, is Blue Dust. Quite honestly one of the best places to eat and drink in the entire Waterfront area.Sure you can go visit the mega-chain multinational restaurants located in the middle of shopping paradise, but if you don't stop in to at least give Blue Dust a try ...Read more

I heard a lot about Barley's & Hop's before I went there so I started to make a picture in my mind as to what the place would look like before I even arrived there. I've been to numerous bars so I expected a typical bar, tucked away in the corner of some strip mall — but this place is pretty different. Imagine a national chain cafe, like a Panera Bread or a Caribou Coffee, but instead of ...Read more
