Kitchen seems to close 9 pm.. open til 2 am amd pens game beer specials. Good to know for planning

I never ate their food here, we always end up here after their kitchen closes, but they do allow you to order food and get it delivered there. Nice laid back atmosphere. Definitely a locals pub. We enjoy ending our night here. Full bar, big selection of anything you may be in the mood for. If you're in the area, I would recommend you pop in! read more

One of the oldest pubs in Pittsburgh! Stopped in for happy hour with some coworkers and had this mojito! Service was casual - order at the bar, and there are options to purchase food as well. Seating is wide and a large area for big groups. read more

Mitchell's Pub - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Mitchell's is such a cool bar to go chill in and grab a drink! For food, I've had the buffalo chicken wings and a side of chips. They chips are seasoned so good and taste awesome! I've heard great things about their buffalo chicken dip, as well. My go-to drink is an Angry Orchard on draft, so awesome!! The bartenders are so nice and remember your name! Can't wait to go back! read more

I was there for lunch let me just say the food was delicious and my service was amazing Brooke was my server very attentive and on top of all my refreshments!!! And let's just say the bartender Sarah was very friendly and made a hell of a drink!! read more

Great spot to grab a drink and a meal after work or before an event downtown. They have a legit happy hour, old school stuff, where drinks and appetizers are actually less expensive. Such a novel concept in this post COVID world. If you don't work nearby or not going to an event, there are a few garages close by that have a flat $5 night rate starting at 4:30 so no excuses. About 20 beers on tap, lots of canned options including seltzers and hard teas if that is your thing. Of course, full bar but I can't vouch for the cocktails. I'll try them next time. We had a decent sized group so we ordered a bunch of appetizers up front, including provolone sticks, Mac N Cheese balls and the pretzel. They were all good. It's bar food but it is good bar food. They had a fish dinner special that night and several of us got it. The description said "deep fried to perfection". Let's face it, nearly every place in Pittsburgh that serves a fish sandwich says theirs is the best. I will say, this actually was deep fried to perfection. Great breading and seasoning and cook perfectly. It was a fish dinner special not a fish sandwich special so you had to pay an extra dollar for a bun. No biggie but either was the bun. Gimme something that can handle the nice piece of fish on my plate. Fries were hot and crispy, which is always tricky but necessary. Overall service was good. They tagged teamed us since it was a larger table but you still had to flag them down when needed. When one person flagged them down they would take their request and go without asking if anyone else needed anything or waiting long enough to hear another order. Minor stuff, no one went hungry or thirsty that night and we will all be back read more

Good place. Great staff. Sarah and Derrick. Got to meet the legend. Joe the bartender. Had a great couple of nights there.

I won a gift card via Instagram, so a friend and I planned to stop in for trivia night. It was my fault for not looking up hours that food was served, this is more of a lunch spot, no food is served after 4PM. When I realized this, I asked our waitress if I could use the gift card for drinks and she said yes. We ordered Grubhub delivery, played trivia, and had some beers. The issue occurred when we asked for our check, and showed our waitress the message that I won the gift card. The manager was at the Penguins game, and they were unable to honor my gift card without them being there to enter the information. We waited forever for our waitress to come back to the table, and still had no resolution. At this point I planned to pay for everything on my own without the gift card but they ended up honoring the gift card after much back and forth. I've won gift cards on instagram numerous times and have never had an issue anywhere else. read more

Came in today around noon, The food was delicious my husband and I both had the hot turkey with homemade mashed potatoes, Both our servers were great. We are visiting from out of town.

This is a super cute, super tiny store. Almost like a newsstand moved indoors without all of the newspapers. Though they do sell them here as well as lottery, breakfast sandwiches, donuts, soda, candy, coffee, etc. Justin, the owner is very nice and friendly. Prices are comparable to other types of stores in the downtown area. Located on the lobby entrance of the Mitchell Building just to the left if you're on Ross Street standing in front of the structure. read more

This was a bit of an unusual experience for me. The atmosphere was buzzing. But it was trivia night and the bar was full of antsy young lawyers. Our server was quick to come over and bring us our drinks and told us they stop serving food at 2pm. It was well after 6pm and we just drove an hour into the city to specifically come to this bar so we were pretty disappointed. We were able to door dash food into the bar so we could continue playing trivia, which just seemed, weird. Drinks were cheap , $20 for 4 beers and the service was fast. When we were trying to pay there was quite a bit of issues, we wanted to use a gift card and the server told us we would have to wait for an hour for her boss to get there to manually do it. Kind of ridiculous. She ended up figuring it out and we paid and left. We had very high hopes of the oldest bar in Pittsburgh but now not sure if we'll return. read more

Stopped in and had a drink. Seemed like there was trivia going on. The bartender Jen and Joe were really friendly and social. Made me feel real welcome. No food unfortunately however great service. Pointed me to places to eat close by. read more

Was recently downtown again for jury duty. Decided to eat lunch here during my hour break. Staff was wonderful, first and foremost. But very confusing. You cannot order food at the bar. You must get up and go to a window in the back of the bar. Not a huge deal. Decided to get a pretzel bites appetizer and a burger. Then had ONE beer at the bar. One. Total cost with customary 20% tip.....$44. It's bar food people! $44 is unacceptable for downtown Pgh bar food for lunch. Place wasn't crowded at all and I can see why. Side note their grilled chicken salad for lunch is $20. Good food but come on.... read more

This is a great place for gatherings and food. They have some great seafood. As for gatherings, they provided quick service, had a decent amount of drafts on tap, and good people. We traveled here for a coworkers last day at the office. Good times. read more

Mitchell's Pub - Ben's last day at work - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My girlfriend suggested we go here for lunch now that the downtown location of Storms has closed. She took me up a flight of stairs. We were greeted warmly and sat down at a table overlooking a window. They have daily specials which are posted on one of those triangle boards outside the restaurant. I decided to go with the chicken breast sandwich with coleslaw. She went with a spinach salad topped with salmon. Her salad was supposed to come with a bacon dressing. We got our food in a descent amount of time. My chicken breast was very thick but was on a regular bun. It was good but very messy. The coleslaw was average. My girlfriend told me that she loved her spinach salad however, it seemed as though the dressing she got was more like a vinaigrette than a bacon dressing. She inquired about it and was given another. She later told me that it still tasted like a vinaigrette. Prices here seem to be much more reasonable and you can get away with a sandwich and side for under $10.00 if you aren't ordering drinks. There is a bar area which wasn't open during our visit. The place is clean and the staff very friendly. They have other items on the menu such as paninis and I understand their specialty is hamburgers. Will have to try one next visit here. I gather that we must have eaten in their banquet hall. I did not get the opportunity to see the restaurant and bar below. It makes for a descent lunch if you work near or in the area and are under time constraints because of work. read more

They have small outdoor seating area. Another business sells food in the back. You have to go back there to order your food and pay. Burgers, chicken sandwich, fish and fries are good. But if you're not drinking you need to bring a tip bc the bartenders still bring your food out from the back, so don't think that if you tip when you pay for food that it goes to the bartenders. read more

I stopped frequenting this place when they re-opened after lockdown only to find a barely-there menu, no food after 4 pm, and when I ordered fries and a pizza poppers appetizer and my total was $18. Lol. I really miss the old days when they had a cook who wasn't an overpriced caterer and they had reasonable specials every day of the week. Oh well. read more

Half of Mitchell's is a bar and the other half is a family friendly diner. I'm not sure how the bar side is, but the diner portion is lovely. The atmosphere is very warm and bright. I really appreciate it when a restaurant has proper lighting and kudos to Mitchell's for providing that. I came here around the holiday season and it was all decorated. The service was quick and wonderful. Our waitress was a sweetheart. My only complaint is the cigarette smoke leaking in from the bar side. As for food, I got to try the chili, Mitchburger and original fish sandwich. The best entrée on the table was the burger. It was packed with flavors and bacon. I wish they allowed the option to request it medium rare, instead of coming out fully cooked. The chili was a bit bland, even though thick with meat. I suggest adding a pinch of Cajun and a pinch of salt then it'll be perfect. The fish sandwich was HUGE, but came with nothing except two buns. I suggest slapping on some sauce and dress it up with lettuce/tomatoes. It was so dried without any sauce and plain old ketchup just doesn't cut it. Add a special house blend sauce that's creamy with a spicy kick, then that'll be 5-stars worthy. Although there were minor flaws in the food, I see potential in this place and would love to return here in the future if I'm in the area. Portions are huge with tons of meat and prices very affordable for the amount of food. read more

I'm going to need to update this because I've only had take-out for lunch. That is because their specials are great!! Each month, they make a new calendar with all of the specials each day (2 each at about $7.65) I've had the crab cake sandwich with fries which is delicious! oh my goodness that plump, deliciously seasoned crab cake was fabulous! I've also had their special with baked chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, veggie + bread & butter.. for $7.50. Feels like a Thanksgiving feast! I've always experienced great customer service and happy faces while waiting for my take-out. I'm looking forward to coming here for a nice dinner with my other half very soon and updating this :) They have a bar side with a bar (obviously) some booths and high top tables. Also, there is another side with just booths. The second floor is also available and that may be where the banquet hall is located. Check the Lunch Specials! http://mitchells.tv/ read more

Beer, beer, and more beer. It's definitely a low-key nieghborhood bar. As an out of towner, I enjoyed it. It felt like Pittsburgh's version of Cheers except grimier. Unfortunately, the kitchen closes fairly early on weekdays otherwise this place may have received another star. read more

I haven't been in this place for like 15 years or so and had even forgotten what it was like. My first impression when I walked in was how clean and well maintained it is for a place that's been around like forever. I had a seat at the bar and was greeted with a smile almost immediately before getting a menu and a raspberry ice tea. I chose the meatloaf sandwich which came with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. It took less than five minutes to be presented to me and the whole plate was smothered in a brown gravy. Everything was truly delicious with the exception of the bread which had a really tough, stale crust. If I was to order this meal again I would ask them to hold off of the bread and just go with meatloaf and gravy. Although I was here for lunch, I should also add that it has great potential for happy hour. There's a full bar and five different craft beers on tap. It looks roomy enough to hold a happy hour crowd too. I give it four stars despite the tough crust. The service was exceptional, the rest of the meal was delicious and it just seems like a comfortable place to hang out. read more

This is more of a review for their banquet hall upstairs as this is where I had lunch today. Decent food at with good prices - I had a Cobb salad and fried cheese, which I will say was one of the better versions of this appetizer that's a staple in my house. Nice crispy breading and gooey cheese that didn't ooze all over the place. Our table was drinking rolling rock or miller lite bottles for $4.25, which was more than I'd expect to pay but not outrageous. Service was OK, we were here for a special event so I can't blame them for being a little overwhelmed a bit. Decor is certainly lacking. read more

Great late night bar! Nice ambiance, lots of ouzo, and interesting conversation with colorful locals. Kristen is an excellent bartender and made the evening memorable. Tip her well. read more

Good Food at a great price. same with the drinks all very reasonable. I am not a smoker and didnt realize that this was still a place you could smoke in, just not my thing. Other wise a good experience and great service. I would go back to drink, just not to eat read more

The fries are good. The bowls of soup are pretty hearty but again back to the fries. They're hand cut and addictive! I stopped here for a quick bite to eat and after passing this place often I finally stopped in. The place is bigger than it appears and clean and the staff here are not only kind but they're quick too. I only had thirty minutes to eat and gobbled down the chicken fingers and fries. I however do have it on my list to try their fried fish as it looked all types of yummy. This is comfort food at a reasonable price. No one at the table had any complaints. I can see why this place has been around for so long. Also the beer selection has a variety to offer. The only thing that might drive you crazy is finding parking downtown but again the fries make it worth it. read more

I really wanted to like this place as it's been in downtown PGH for a hundred years or so. Even gave it a couple chances... First time I tried a special which was a shrimp quesadilla. I guess I shoulda known better than to order a dish not originally created in America at a Pittsburgh bar/restaurant but I tried, anyhow. The waitress brought out a still sizzling metal pan of burnt teensy-tiny bay shrimp that were definitely from a frozen bag. They were stuck to the pan and so charred that I had to send the plate back. Eww. Next time I went I decided to keep it simple and had a burger, which they claimed are their specialty. The burger was huge, yes, but overcooked and completely unseasoned. Blah! During this visit I also had an awful waitress who was quite busy frantically gossiping with another waitress who was actually trying to do her job. I had Bass on tap during both visits and could barely finish them because they were so warm. And on top of it all, it ain't even cheap! read more

You know what the problem with having a tummy bug is? Well for me it's that after a day and a half of feeling miserable and having no appetite, I'm h-u-n-g-r-y afterwards. And what better way to satiate a post recuperation hunger with a good burger? And I mean a really good burger! Such was the case this past week with me. I took care of it with a good Mitchburgher Burger. Mmmmm! I ate that entire 1/2 lb beef patty with all it's charbroiled goodness topped off with lettuce, onion, pepperjack cheese and their special sauce--with a side of fries. My coworker looked at me in amazement and asked "My lord, Susan, where'd you put all that"? Hey, when you've got the post flu munchies, you've gotta take care of 'em. read more

Fatties unite! Fried is their specialty! This place is pretty good. No culinary masterpieces here, but you can get a satisfying lunch for pretty much less than 10 bucks. I was told that fried items are what they do best here and I had the coconut shrimp which was delicious. It's definitely where professionals in the city go for a quick lunch and the servers and pretty speedy. I say give it a try! read more

Comfort food, that's what this place delivers. I came here for a lunch with five other people and this was some good, old fashioned comfort food. Two people ordered the hot turkey sandwich, it was open faced with mashed potatoes and gravy smothered over top the turkey sandwich. Two other people ordered the hot roast beef sandwich. It was also served open faced with mashed potatoes and gravy smothered all over, but it was a darker gravy. They all got the vegetable of the day, peas. I got the soup and sandwich, $5.99, which included a large bowl of cream of mushroom soup. It had whole mushrooms (button and portobello) and was a light cream, not as creamy as I would have liked, but still good. It came with a tuna salad sandwich that was tasty. The last person in our party got the tuna melt on rye which she gobbled up whole and a side a fries, also very good. The loss in stars is because we asked to sit in the non-smoking section and were basically ignored. The host said, "Well, after 1pm it doesn't matter, the top of the restaurant is closed" so we were sat smack in the middle of a smoke filled section. The service was ok in general. read more

If there was a button that said "not for vegetarians", I'd click it. That aside, my carnivorous friends really like the comfort food this place serves up, and the bar staff is quick and friendly for their happy hour. A large chunk of the crowd in the afternoon and early evening are lawyers, as this is where they head after work in the nearby buildings. read more

Working downtown, there's not a lot of places I can go for lunch that offer such great quality and are so friendly! I thought it was very cool that it is the oldest restaurant in the 'burgh, and I can see how they've survived for so long. I highly recommend Mitchell's to anyone who wants good service and a great meal for lunch downtown read more

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it's been almost 2 years since I've gone to Mitchell's. It's the perfect lunch of happy hour spot for downtown, what have I been thinking?! I stopped in for lunch today and was truly impressed with the changes I saw. Even the bathrooms have been redone! They've way upped their menu game too, it's not just divey bar food anymore. My lunch was delicious, and served with a smile. I really need to come back for a happy hour or maybe before a Pens game. They have lots of drink specials posted in the bar area and I'm also a huge fan of no smoking (I do think you can smoke late night still, but you cannot smell it during the day!). Mitchells has really stepped up their game since my last visit and I will certainly not wait another 2 years to return! read more

First time in Pittsburgh. My hotel recommended Mitchell's Pub. The staff at Mitchell's (Rausche and Sara)was so welcoming. One of the famous regulars gave us a history lessons on the pub. A must go to if you come to Pittsburgh.. Great bar! Great people! read more

I was introduced to Mitchell's by a friend of mine and have been a big fan ever since! The staff is always very welcoming and everyone at the bar always look like they're having a great time. Their garlic parmesan wings are usually a go to for myself and friends, along with a Titos vodka of course. I look forward to many more happy hours to come! read more

Mitchell's has continued to surprise me over the many years I have stopped in. I am in no way a "regular" but I do like to stop in a handful of times during the year and every time I'm there they have done something new to basically accommodate customers to create the best environment for them. I've never seen a Bar or Restaurant LISTEN to it's customers as much as Mitchell's. Two things that HAVEN'T changed over the years is the awesome service and great affordable food. So I hope those things stay the same! It's no question as to why they've been open for over 100 years and are the oldest bar and restaurant in Pittsburgh. (DONT LET THE OYSTER HOUSE TELL YOU DIFFERENT!) I recently signed up for their first Paint Nite knowing that they would probably use the upstairs. It was a first date for me with the girl being from out of town I had two options this evening: Take her to a Pens game or go to Paint Nite... and I definitely picked the RIGHT choice (she was not much of a hockey fan) but we would have stopped in there in any case since the parking is free after 6 and its close to Consol. They knocked their first Paint Nite out of the park. It being upstairs was like having our own personal Paint Party and did not have to fight with anyone to get a drink or food even though the downstairs was PACKED for the game (as usual). They even kept the kitchen open until 9 (they usually close it at 7) specifically for the Paint Nite guests. Gina, our bartender, was very attentive and seemed to be enjoying the event just as much as we were. Bottom Line: I'll definitely be back for it. Mitchell's has never disappointed me and for how much fast food/commercialized restaurants there are downtown I can't think of another place that can beat Mitchell's home cooked meals (AND affordability) with the friendly atmosphere that every family owned business should have. read more
