Bar food is something that is often come by but very rarely done right. BBT is one of the few places that does basic bar food justice. I have eaten here so many times that the list of favorites are endless.The wings are done crispy and saucy every time. The General Grant burger causes me to salivate dreaming of its beauty. They also have garlic parmesan fries that are killer. Everything about this place makes my belly happy. The bartenders are super nice and take care of their regulars. read more

Birmingham Bridge Tavern - General grant chicken sandwich with garlic parm fries. The best! - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Little hole in the wall bar with some dining tables located a few streets off Carson St in the Southside. Nice beer selection. Started out with the loaded nachos, the chips they use were too salty but otherwise very good chili and toppings. We ordered some garlic parm fries after reading about them on Yelp, but they were kind of bland. The star of the show is the wings, other wise this is a 2.5-3 star review. We split 10 of the Eric Jr flavored wings as the menu says that is their award winning flavor. It was good, but a touch spicer than I like on a wing- I will get buffalo next time as Eric Jr is very peppery and had me chugging water. Regardless, the wing is as tender as you will find, and perfectly crisp. Definitely worthy of the hype. read more

OMG this place is lip smackin good! This is by far my favorite place to get wings. I enjoy the Jerk and have had a few of the others that are really tasty! I would recommend going on a Wednesday b/c it's wing night and it gets comfortably crowded. The beer is great too - they had this great pumpkin beer the last time I went. I try to ask the server or bartender for recommendations and they are usually right on. Check out the BBT and eat some wings! read more

Cute little spot tucked away on Sarah street. Ordered take out from here over the weekend! Great burger and fries for a good price!! Not too greasy and great portion sizes. Friendly wait staff! read more

Bbt is the best spot to drink and eat in the south side. It doesn't have that annoying south side bar feel the food is great and the drink prices are spot on. Everyone that works there is nice oh and if you got the time stop in on Sunday and get jims pulled pork! read more

Birmingham Bridge Tavern - Pens game - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I went here a few years back but I still remember it...cozy bar with a variety of beer selections. Bartenders and staff were friendly.. we owned the jukebox all night. it is a bit off from the beaten path but worth a visit if you're staying at the nearby hotel. This is a good pick if aren't in the mood for the far crazier bars down the strip on Carson. read more

Great food Loved the pulled pork sandwich and Cajun fries - Sunday special. Staff and bar patrons friendly to new people read more

I rented out the second floor for a birthday party & everything was perfect. The bartender was friendly and very accommodating. It was the perfect size and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I love this corner bar. They have specials (food and drink) every night of the week. The food is always good, and the service is always fast even when it's packed. There are plenty of TVs so if there's a game you want to watch, they'll do their best to make everyone happy. They keep everything very clean. Pretty sure it's always been a no smoking bar, so you don't have to worry about that stale smoke smell. The crowd they draw is very pleasant, making us feel welcome every time we come in. If it's too packed, remember there's an upstairs! read more

This is my local bar. Staff is fantastic. Beer list is awesome. Food is way above average for a bar. They love the Pens, as they should. 5 stars. read more

Nice little bar off the beaten path from the south side and the flats. Definitely worth going to. It seems like a hole in the wall but the bar area is really updated with big TVs to watch the game. I would recommend going to this place. read more

Another great bar with the upstaris/downstairs thing going on. Upstairs we rocked out to a great deejay for a post-wedding bash. Apparently Pittsburgh is all about the bottled beer - I have never seen so many bottles in fridges at bars before this. One warning - it was impossible to get cabs home from here, even on Saturday night, even with multiple people calling. Some of the boys went over to Carson and caught cabs, then brought them over to us. That was the only reason why we managed to get home! read more

I had a great meal at this very cool local watering hole. Buffalo wings were very good, not the best I've ever had but above average. The Philly cheesesteak fries or an unbelievable decadent indulgence. Delicious french fries with steak peppers and onions smothered in cheese. What an indulgence. Nice atmosphere, it seemed filled with locals on Wednesday night watching the Penguins game. I'd love to go back and try the other items on the menu they all look delicious when I saw other patrons ordering them. read more

Came here for wing night and wasn't disappointed. Lots of beers to choose from and a great place to go and watch sports. The French onion soup was delicious, and the Cajun fries are addicting. My buffalo garlic parm wings were 7/10 which is a GOOD rating (I'm a chicken wing snob) and at $0.65 a piece on Wednesday's they are hard to beat. read more

I'm sitting here on New Year's Eve and the owner has done nothing but make everyone in the entire room feel like home. The food is incredible, the beer list is incredible, the people are incredible. If you want to do 2018 right, start here!- read more

Great overall spot. A staple of my beer league softball team after every W (which unfortunately isn't as often as I'd like)! Some of the best wings in the city. Doesn't get quite the pub that Archie's, Cupka's, and Bigham get. But they don't need to advertise when they hold their own in sauce flavor and size of wing. Highly recommend. read more

Best wings in the burgh. Monday night, about 10 people in the bar, mostly for wings. Good draft selection, about 20 taps. We sat at the bar, and the bartender came in 3 minutes. Wings came out in about 15 minutes, 5 perfectly crisp with dry jerk seasoning (9 out of 10) and 5 golden boy sauce (mustardy hot, 10!!!). Wifes buffalo chicken wrap came five minutes later, (9), with very good house cut fries(10!!). I had 3 lagunitas and wife had an atwater blueberry. 35 bucks. It was wing night (.50$ wings) but for the price i was very satisfied. When anyone asks where the best wings in the burgh are, now I know. read more

We've stopped twice in the four months since bikers are welcome. The food was good and we had polite yet prompt service both times. We've tried the Buffalo Chicken Bake and the Boneless Wings. read more

Birmingham Bridge Tavern - Buffalo Chicken Bake @ the Birmingham Bridge Tavern! - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place is terrible. Fuck this bar, fuck the staff. This needs to be longer apparently, but honestly, I couldn't say anything more than that. The owner was a prick, the bartender ignored me for the first twenty minutes I was there, the place wasn't even close to busy and I would give a review on the food, but in that twenty minutes, the kitchen stopped taking orders. Nah, I hope this place gets shut down. read more

The waitress was really nice, and the food was ok. The owner came off as a real dick, though. He was apparently "joking around" when saying things about us ordering slow, or ignoring us when we needed to ask a question. It's also weird he named the place after the Birmingham bridge when it's near the hot metal bridge read more

My boyfriend and I are new to the Pittsburgh area and it has been our experience that the Yelp Reviewers, in this area, have rated such restaurants such as "Taco Bell" with 4 stars. As a result we decided to disregard the reviews and base our judgement off the pictures..We have learned our lesson and will return to reading the reviews. Based off the photos and the little we read; we were expecting to walk into a Tavern like place instead just a standard Bar. If you are looking for a place to grab drink this place is fine; good beers on Tap. However caution if you are going to eat there. The food was not terrible and is your typical standard bar food. My boyfriend had a Ruben Sandwich and I had a Mushroom burger with Swiss cheese. The negatives of the food was it was really greasy and the chef over cooked my burger; I asked for it be medium rare and I received it well done. I did not complain about my burger being over cooked; as a matter of fact I was grateful. Had we read the reviews we would of seen that this place allows smoking. In the Northeast restaurants/bars do not permit smoking so that was surprising. It honestly was not a big deal until the Bartender/our server was smoking while she was working and then serving our food. Her hair was not pulled back and wearing flip flops. I have worked in restaurants since I was 13 and to be honest I was a bit grossed out. I'm not sure what the health code laws are but if any server presented themselves that way; we would have failed inspection. read more

I absolutely love this place. We had dinner there tonight, their special included DuClaw beers but none of their beers are over priced and they have one of the better craft beer selections for south side. I had a Fat Heads Bumbleberry, which I've had before and absolutely love & my bf had a Bouncy House IPA. They had a lot of great summer beers on tap. Anyone can find a beer they'll like there! For food we had a BBQ chicken wrap w/ fries and a chicken sandwich. For the regular chicken sandwich you can pick any of their wing sauces/rubs to go on it. My bf is partial to their Jerk rub and he got that. The chicken sandwich is HUGE. And inch of chicken probably hangs off 2 sides of the bun. My wrap was awesome as well. The service is always good too, bartenders remember you even if you aren't in there TOO often and it's nice seeing a friendly face. It can get crowded on nights like Wednesday when they do wing night but their wings are totally worth it. It's fun to watch sports there as well, they do black & gold shots when Pittsburgh scores (jäger & goldschlager) which is always a good time. I highly recommend checking this place out, it's off the beaten path of Carson Street (one street back, on Sarah) but it's absolutely worth it. read more

Have been a loyal well tipping customer for months. After a discrepancy over two drinks - for which I had been double billed - the server asked if I would like to speak to a manager. I was delighted at the idea to fix this wrong, however the manager "Jim" tried to intimidate me. He thought I was trying to get one over on them when I have been a loyal customer for a VERY long time. I will NOT be returning ever again and will be telling my friends to steer clear of this place. SAVE YOUR TIME FOLKS. Not worth it for sub-par food. Sincerely, Disappointed read more

This is our go-to SouthSide bar. Wings are great, burgers are excellent. Service is incredible - Jim, Erin, Kelly, Josh... All amazing people! The 2nd floor has held a bunch of our football drafts and we've rented for parties too. We love the BBT! Always a great time! read more

The greatest beer selection in South Side. The best american style food as well. Try the "wing burger", I go with the Craq burger, and believe me it is like crack. I find myself lusting after it at strange times. I would do anything to get one. I want one right now. If you're not a red meat eater... their chicken wings are superb and they offer tons of different sauces and rubs. You also have the option of getting a crispy or grilled chicken wrap with the wing sauce of your choice on it, for those who don't like the wing eating experience. Definately worth checking out. There are 3 floors here. It's tucked away in the far end from Carson on a back street making parking a bit easier and definately a breath taking establishment and a great place to watch the sports games at! Let's go Pens! Occasionally the owners will bring their GORGEOUS dogs in, that's always a wonderful treat! You can still smoke in the bar area which is a nice thing, if you smoke. read more

This is one of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh. Fantastic food, great beer selection, nice friendly customers, and the bartender lady is pretty. read more

Traveling for work, found a wing night, and you could eat off the floor. Great service, great beers, great wings! And baseball on every tv, with a jukebox maestro. Highly recommended!! read more

Extremely disappointed .. party of 4 for dinner sat down and not one of the 3 servers acknowledged us. We finally walked out ... going to fatheads read more

Anyone who knows me knows that hot wings and beer are two of my favorite things in the world. So it should tell you something about the quality of this bar that I routinely make the 20 minute trek from Morningside to the South Side to go here. I have been eating wings all over this city since I moved here a few years ago and BBT is my #1 spot for wings without question. They are generously sized, cooked perfectly every time, and lathered in delicious hot sauce. They also come with a side of celery which I consider an essential part of the wing eating experience. The high quality of the entire menu is abundantly clear. Even my wife enjoys their bar food and she typically dislikes bar food. Their beer selection is great, but when I'm here I tend to stick to light beers to wash down all the glorious heat from the wings. The prices are fair and there is usually some kind of special going on. Lastly, the atmosphere in this place rocks. The bartenders are laid back and efficient. Make no mistake, most people are here to have fun, be a little loud, watch the game, and drink. But what you don't find is the typical groups of douchey young 20 somethings that infiltrate most South Side bars. BBT without question earns 5 out of 5 stars. read more

This is a staple in my household; we go at minimum once a week. They have some of the best wings in town (I'm partial to the spicy garlic parm, jerk and Eric Jr.). I'm also a big fan of the turkey melt, grilled cheese and I usually upgrade to get Cajun fries. Bartenders are friendly and they usually have an impressive selection of beers. This is great for lunch and dinner, but also the late night drink and some good jukebox tunes! read more

A southside treasure. Their food is absolutely delicious. With their salads you get a piece of chicken with every fork full. Fully loaded with deliciousness. High quality service. Amazing draft options as well!!! If you're looking for a fun laid back place to dine, and have a couple beers this is the place to go. Exceptionally clean, and they have the nicest bathrooms out of any bar/restaurant on the southside. They have tons of tvs for viewing, and specials during the weekdays. Plus the staff are friendly and attentive. read more

First things first, I love wings. I love to make them at home, I love to order them out. When they are great it makes my day. When they are bad, I'm am sorely disappointed. Their wings, as far as the chicken goes, is average to above average. Good size, cooked pretty well. The sauces however, are out of this world. Here's what to do: Go here on a Monday or Wednesday night around 6:45. The wing special starts at 7. Look over the menu at the wing sauces. They serve them in groups of five for $0.50 each. Each group of five can be a different sauce. Try a few, and start with the ones read more

I'mNot the hip bar for dancing but if your looking for some good food and a good range of beer while you watch a sports game this is the place to go. The only problem is that it's not real big so it can take a little bit longer to get your food but it's worth the wait. Also there's smoking and the staff is really friendly read more

Birmingham Bridge Tavern - Pittsburgh Rueben - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So there is one bartender and one waitress on wing night and the bartender "can't" take wing orders...why? So you can imagine the ridiculousness of one waitress taking care of everyone because the bar tender is only capable of pouring coors lights.. The server wasn't even there til the exact start of wing night and they said they couldn't put it any orders ahead of time. When she did arrive she started at the front of the restaurant and took each table's order one by one and then put in all the orders AT ONCE. What sense does that make?? That first table had to wait at least 20 minutes before their order was even put in by time she got to the last table and then I'm sure that backs up the kitchen. She also made snide "joking" remarks about us being parked in "her spot" in the parking lot. Parking is for customers period and no one cares if it's "your spot". Finally when the wings came out they were overcooked and dry.. There are plenty of places to get wings in the area so there is no need to bother with this sad excuse of a bar!! read more

They have unexpectedly great food. Not sure if things have gotten better since previous reviews but they won 2nd place for wings at a Pittsburgh wing fest so that says a lot. I've recently ordered a burger which came out great and a pulled pork sandwich with bourbon bbq which was really good. They have also recently made the bar a non-smoking establishment - Maybe as a result of all the complaints... I hate smoking bars too so I'm happy they made the change. Prices recently went up a bit but they're still very reasonable. read more

The wings are delicious and the service is great! Everything I've ever eaten here is great from the burgers to the sandwiches. If you love wings, you'll love these along with the great beer selection. Of course, the staff is fantastic and always ready to help. read more

hometown atmosphere! Great menu! Recommend the Jimmy D's burger if you like spicy!!

Very solid place. Everything about it is very nice. Above average bat food. Had a flavor of wings that was a mix of traditional buffalo sauce and something else. Even the bathrooms were decent for a bar. read more

This is one of the few bars that I'll order takeout from. The buffalo chicken wrap is sooo good, and it comes with fries so it basically makes 2 meals for me. I've only gotten drinks here a few times but always had good experiences. read more

Excellent selection of microbrews! Staff was very friendly, great stop!!
