Was staying nearby during the picklesberg festival and decided to eat dinner here. They had a special festival menu that we ordered from. We got the pickle burger and pickle wings both with hand cut fries. The only thing pickle about the burger was that it was supposed to be cooked in pickle butter. I didn't taste anything special about it and it was really overcooked. Otherwise it was a decent burger. The wings were really good! Think lemon pepper but dill flavored. Really tasty. Service was alright but not spectacular. Ambiance is fine. Very loud inside but it is a bar vibe so that's to be expected. read more

They were kind of slow near the end. They also charged $3 more than the menu for soup, but it didn't say it on menu or if it did, the waitress didn't mention it. The soup was terrible but the sandwich was ok. read more

Very decent place to grab a quick drink and something to eat, but customer service wasn't the best , we and my boys came here and no one acknowledged us, or anything we sat for more than 20 minutes before someone formally came to serve us, I was mad but the game was on , And when it was time to get the check they took forever, and it wasn't busy seems like very decent place , not a divo but Deserved better service read more

April 29th: Apologies on being so late with this post. Stopped in before the game to grab some brews. Mike's is a great Sports bar with a ton of beers to choose from. They have food, but I chose not to eat because I was going to the Cubs/Pirates game later. Packed house even during the huge storm that day! read more

I've been to Mike's Beer Bar many times over the years and always enjoy it. The beer list is extensive with so many unique options to try. I also love that you can order steak on a stone while still getting more of a fun sports bar vibe. The staff has always been nice and attentive. We have a parking pass directly across the street, so parking is never an issue either. This past visit we stopped in after leaving the Pittsburgh Pirates game and the blueberry wheat was good! read more

Mike's is a good spot for a casual get-together. Their beer list is their highlight (it's huge & filled with both local craft beers & seasonal specials), and the food is decent too. It's nothing beyond regular bar food, but if that's what you're in the mood for it fits the bill! The main downside is that service is SLOW (save for one bartender who seems to actually pay attention to the customers). If he didn't happen to be in my area, however, it was really hard to get attention to place an order. I also thought the bill was surprisingly expensive for bar food/beer, but I guess that's just normal now. Overall a decent spot! Positives: after work, beer, casual dinner, large group, sharing, walk-ins Negatives: bad service, expensive, overpriced read more

Went on a non-game day. Can't beat the location when visiting the city. Food was fine. I'd pass on the gimmick of steak on a stone. Cold beer is where this place is at! read more

Really liked this spot for their wide selection of local and non local beers. Staff were knowledgeable. They also have a food menu that didn't look bad. We only tried the pork nachos at the North Shore Tavern, which has the same menu but NST offers a dinner menu. Parking could be challenging on busier days, especially events, but would be a place to be for one. read more

5 star for the quantity and variety of beer - 500+ beers 3.5 star food selections - very limited menu options. The food menu was 1 page v. 10+ pages for beer. Large portions. We split the wedge salad, reuben, & the side of sweet potato French fries. Too much food for two people. The reuben needed more thousand island on the sandwich. I prefer a sandwich to be messy to having a side of thousand island for dipping. We were able to reserve a table for our group. It was loud but you could carry on a conversation. Very limited street parking. We parked in the Red lot across from PNC Park ($10). It was a block away. Waitstaff was very attentive. Being a group, automatic tips were added to each of our bills. If you like beer, this place is for you. read more

The food was excellent! I recommend Steak on a Stone with shrimp and Scallops! Superb!!!

I had so much fun. What a Great Night Mike Bar Hosted The Beer & Big Shots Fundraiser for Media Association of Pittsburgh. The Food Was Yummy & The Service was Amazing They Had Guest Bartenders & Everyone Was Having a Great Time read more

Looking for a spot to pre-game before a Pirates game? I'd say check out Mike's Beer Bar. That's what I did and I wasn't disappointed. What stuck out most was the service. This place was incredibly busy hours before the game, but we never had issues getting drinks. The staff, our server in particular, were really on top of things and did a great job of slinging drinks. Another big plus was that they have a huge beer list. Looking to try something local? They have plenty of local/regional craft beers to choose from. I will say that the food menu did seem a bit underwhelming. I looked at it several times and just couldn't really find anything that clicked with me. But given the circumstances, this is a relatively minor gripe. The fact that we never had to flag down or wait on drinks was what really mattered. I'd totally come back to Mike's to pregame, or just to hang out and work my way through the beer menu. read more

I feel that Mike's is often overlooked due to its name. Their steak on a stone offering is one of the last ones still standing, which says a lot! Their salads are delicious and HUGE! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Solid burger and wraps as well! read more

I'd come here for the beers not the food. Extensive beer menu, though you feel kinda rushed to choose something when it's game days - busy location. We were tempted to order food but they said it was gonna take 45mins to come out! Then we saw they bring the food out on those industrial plastic push carts - those aren't meant to be customer facing!! - put me off ever wanting to order any food from here. Beer only place. read more

Came in on Christmas Day with a part of 6 and only waited around 15 minutes for a table. Server and service were appropriate and cordial. Ambiance is that of a large pub with lots of Steelers memorabilia and great gameday specials. The wings were fantastic and's my favorite thing we purchased. Butter was average but the beer was cold. Giving them 5 stars for being pretty spot on for a busy holiday. Enjoy. read more

This was not my first time here but it was my first time for a STEELERS game. The sounds quality and tv viewing was great. They have a great and expansive draft selection. I had the Maryland Crab dip which is delicious but best shared. The service was decent and the place was spacious. It's definitely a place to catch up over beers and food without needing to go elsewhere to meet someone's particular tastes. It's definitely great for summer game days too with an outdoor space! read more

Don't be fooled: Pittsburgh is not only a foodie town (who knew?) but also a craft beer paradise. You know the beer choices are golden when you can't really find Coors or Bud anywhere (no shade to coors or bud drinkers). Mike's Beer Bar is basically a warehouse disguised as a beer house. There are literally hundreds on tap and in bottles/cans. We went during a game, so the place wasn't as busy as I'm sure pregame or postgame is (this is literally across the street from PNC). I got a flight of PA based breweries, and it was not disappointing. My husband preferred the Raspberry bourree beer. They also have light menu, Bavarian pretzels and things of that nature. I had a fantastic experience here. Can't wait to return! read more

I had time to kill before I could check into my hotel and needed a beer after traveling all morning. This is cool spot across the street from PNC Park. As a beer nerd, this place is heaven. So many local craft beers on draft and tap. Ended up having a cheeseburger too and it was delicious. Nice, fresh, and filling. The fries were perfect too. It was semi busy and I never had an empty glass. The ladies behind the bar crushed it. read more

My favorite pre-Pirates game spot! Be warned, it's right across from the park so it gets extremely busy before games. If you want a seat, make sure to get there early! But don't worry, the service is top tier & you won't have to wait long for a drink. I also frequent Mike's just for their amazing beer selection and rotating food menu. Everything on draft is local plus a huge selection of cans. My favorite food item that they rotate in is an eggplant sandwich, but you can never go wrong with a steak on a stone or their wings! read more

Great lunch before the game today. The food was great and the beer was cold. The service was amazing.

Cool spot would recommend prices aren't bad tons of beers ... nice outdoor seating when warm

For a sporting event this place is the best. Multiple tvs for all the sports watching during the day. Great eats and over 500+ varieties of beer. This is a must if you are the away team to take over the bar. The service is amazing and always on top. It has a sports bar ambiance which is perfect for the area and the atmosphere. Do not miss this place if you are a local team favorite or out of towner visitor. Like today the FSU family took it over. read more

Avid beer drinkers, if you didn't already know Mike's Beer Bar carries over 500 different types of beers! Yeah you heard me right. While I am personally not a beer girly I was pleasantly surprised with their huge list of ciders as well. They're located in the North Shore right next to the Pirates stadium. Perfect spot for a game night! We ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos, Southwest chicken Focaccia Pizza, and Greek Salad. My sisters and I shared the pizza and nachos. The pizza dough reminded me of a mixture between deep dish and regular; it was pretty good! The nachos were delicious, I would definetly order them again.. My mom got the salad and it was literally ginormous! She loved it! The service was okay; it was a little busy but they barley had any workers so I understand how it gets to be. read more

Service was ok they looked like they were getting ready to close and ran out of stones so we could not order anything prepared on them. But we really enjoyed what we ordered. read more

From the moment we walked in the door the service was terrible. First, it was unclear whether we needed to wait to be seated and whether there was a hostess. When we walked in there was a young woman standing there who looked annoyed as we approached. She made no attempt at greeting us so I asked if this was where we go to be seated or do we seat ourselves? She responded by looking at us like we were idiots and said well there's a wait. So I said okay...she said so you need to put your name on the list. I responded by saying 'well that's why we are here.' The tone with which she spoke to us was like we were dumb and bothering her. I'm a pretty friendly person in general and usually chalk it up to 'they're having a bad day' so I didn't say anything and then she seated us. There was a Phillies game coming on that we wanted to watch and friends of ours came in too a little later. They had the same experience. Maybe she hates the Phillies idk. Then tables around us were 'reserved' for over 30 minutes while remaining dirty. So our friends couldn't be seated. At least 5 tables around us were dirty for quite awhile. Our friends came in and saw there were three bar seats left near us that were unoccupied. So they asked our waitress if those bar seats were available to sit in as bar seating and she replied by saying 'I don't know, they're not in my section' and walked away. We asked her a couple more questions and she was so unhelpful and said things like that and 'I'm not the hostess.' She refused to offer any advice or help with anything we asked. When she finally came to our table she stood there. Didn't asked if we wanted to put a drink order in or anything. So I asked 'are you our waitress?' When she finally gave us our drinks she walked by at least ten times before we had to stop her again to ask to put in a food order, and her response was "food's an hour." Confused I asked what she meant and she repeated "food is going to take an hour. " I mean we were at a restaurant/bar. It was like how dare we ask to order food. Then our daughters were in town and decided to stop by. Two tables had finally been cleaned and seated with guests near us, and each had an extra seat not being used by its occupants. So, we asked to borrow them. Our table was on the end so it seemed to be plenty of space. The hostess was annoyed and said she needed them for reservations, which was clearly a lie so I told her we didn't take them from the empty tables that were reserved (which had their full chair count already). So she decided to go to the bartender to conspire and asked her to pretend to be the manager and take care of us for moving the chairs. They didn't know it but our friends were at the bar listening to their entire conversation. The women said 'Let's say it's a fire hazard. You be the manager' Meanwhile two tables down from us the had a chair on the end exactly how we had it at our table. So they came over and said we had to move tables bc it s a fire hazard, meanwhile the game we were watching wasn't on in any other part of the bar. I then told her that she had been rude to us since the moment we walked in. My husband was frustrated too. We had been nothing but pleasant to both our waitress and the hostess, even though they were rude to us. He started to complain to them that this was the worst experience he's ever had at a restaurant and that they were rude and the service was terrible. So they got security. Security was the manager, and he was nice, and he let us tell part of the story and found a spot for us next door but at that point we were just not willing to give them any of our money. As someone who worked in restaurants as both a hostess and a server for the better part of a decade, I try to be patient, but I also know how people are supposed to be treated. Number one the hostess should always greet the guests, especially if there wasn't anyone in the line. The waitress at the very least should ask if she can take our order. It's so simple. This was a horrible experience. I have never in 45 years been asked to leave any establishment because I am always a respectful person, even if someone's rude to me. I will never ever go there again. Our friends also left , they cancelled their order after they heard the girls conspiring and saw them ask us to leave. read more

Great beer selection. But the service is abysmal. Most draft beers strategically list "glass" as the serving size. It looks like a pint glass, so surely it's a pint, right? Nope. It's a decoy 14oz glass. Meant to deceive customers. read more

My date and I met here for dinner on a Thursday evening. It's not baseball season so street parking was easy to find and the place wasn't crowded at all. It's a large space, so I think it would be a great place to enjoy a drink and/food at prior to a baseball game. This place is also attached/owned by the people who run North Shore Tavern, so the food menu is available at both locations. My date ordered a beer (I forget which ones - there were tons to choose from) and I ordered a glass of wine. For dinner, I ordered the filet mignon on a stone (available in 6, 8, 10, or 12 oz) with a side of French fries and my date ordered the jumbo sea scallops on a stone with a side of Brussels and bacon slaw. Basically the concept is that your food is served to you undercooked on an extremely hot stone. It doesn't need long to finish cooking but it's done at the table. The food was good.... But in my opinion the scallops turned out better than the steak. I was trying not to overcook pieces of my steak, but it didn't work. I think I'd rather order a steak at a steakhouse when it comes out to me cooked to my liking. The sides were good. Each entree comes with a sauce. I chose steak sauce and my date chose the chimichurri. The sauces were good. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here, but I probably would just come back for drinks. read more

I went here a few months ago after a peddler tour. I was looking to enjoy myself and eat. I went with a group of about 8 people. I ordered the filet mignon on a stone. It was alright, not very memorable (I had to look up the receipt photo to remember). Why do I still have the receipt photo? Well, the staff decided to just add people to my tab, without even asking. I'm glad I looked at the menu when it was about twice a high as it should have been. The staff didn't ask me if it was OK, they just decided to put tack it on. It's a good thing I happened to know the people they added to my tab. We were all confused when only part of the group got a receipt and the other was waiting for theirs. I don't want to imagine what things other people get added to their tab that they don't notice, or aren't really able to reconcile with people they know. This is really all I remember from that interaction. I purposefully made myself wait to write a review, because I was really annoyed by this. What if I hadn't been able to afford the extra charge? Or only carried enough cash? That's just bad customer service because at no time was I asked if others were on my tab. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for that. read more

Place was pretty good. Atmosphere is GREAT, lots of tables and TVs. Our server was OK, not really friendly or helpful...kind of like a machine. When I asked her if they had margaritas, she looked at me kind of like I was dumb and said "Ummm, this is a beer bar". Then told me I could have a lemonade. LOL We're from out of state so I didn't know anything about the place . We just walked in to a restaurant looking for food and football game. So I thought that was kind of...rude? No biggie, but just an odd way to respond. A simple "no" would have worked. We had the Yinzer wrap and Wings and they were pretty good. Cool place, super busy and a little cramped, but for a sports bar, it does the job! read more

Horrendous service. I came here with some friends on a Friday night. There wasn't a Pirate game so it wasn't that busy. The sign said "seat yourself". We sat for over 20 minutes and no one acknowledged us. We ended up leaving. read more
