The P-Bar is my hometown bar, and I have been coming here for longer than I can remember. My…read morefriends and I would come in high school on Thursdays for $1 Burger Nights (no longer around, RIP), and now we come to enjoy some drinks on the patio and hang out. The bar is located in a strip of stores along Old Clairton Road, just off of route 51. There is some parking in the front that is shared with all the other businesses, and then a parking lot across Old Clairton that gets used at night when the businesses that it is for are closed. Additionally, there is a private lot for the bar in the back, and parking at the Bill Green Shopping Center just a little ways down the road (sidewalks from Bill Green to the bar entrance). Due to a fire that occurred here a few years ago, the entire place has recently been remodeled and reoriented from how it was originally. The bar is now in the back, and the main dining room is in the front. There is also a great patio and outdoor space with open air seating, as well as some area under a porch. Everything is new, clean, and modern as a result of the remodel. On this visit, we came to hang out on a Saturday evening. It was raining, so we had to get a table inside. It was karaoke night, as they have each Saturday, so we got to take in the sights and sounds of several performers. Since we were there later in the evening, we just ordered appetizers to much on along with our drinks. I got the Fiesta Street Corn Dip. It was a great value for the price, and there was a ton to go around the whole table. I also sipped on a Summer Shandy from their seasonal draft list. Overall, the food menu has a decent selection, all at very reasonable prices. The draft list did not have any red or brown ales on it, but there was still a fair selection of drinks. The ladies who came around to our table were pleasant and helpful. It was rather crowded, but there would be times we would not see a server for extended periods of time. I do not think it helped that our table was tucked back in a corner, but wish we would have been visited on a somewhat more frequent basis to put additional orders in. I always have a good time at the P-Bar, and enjoy coming here. Especially in the summer, it is an ideal place to hang out and catch up with friends. And likely, if you are from the area, you will run into several people you know. I did not have their breakfast this time, but the breakfast they have on the weekends is worth a try as well!

It is a really fun spot with jukebox music, a good atmosphere, nice waitress, and pretty good food. Needless to say I'm super happy to have it close by and I hope they succeed! The restaurant is beautiful. The updates are all very nice, including custom bar and outside seating. They did keep the pool table, and dart board which is a major plus for those of us who came here when it was divey! I hope to see the food improve with time. Each time we stop in things go a little smoother. For the price point, it would be great to have a side (fries) included with burgers, wraps, etc.

After a recent visit here - my 7 yr old niece loudly proclaimed: "The Yard was a bust."…read more And unfortunately she was right. We came here with my three young nieces. From the moment we stepped inside - my brother warned me that this spot is usually understaffed - so we may need to wait a little for a table. No worries. We got comfortable at their low seated waiting couches. I personally could have easily stayed there for the whole duration - and I think my nieces could have as well. We brought out some of their art supplies and they quickly began their masterpieces. About 15-20 minutes later - a staff member said our table was ready. We made our way over to our hightop table - which conveniently also had an elevated booth set-up. It was a nice set-up for young kids, especially ones intent on finishing homemade cards. The Yard even had some crayons and playful coloring placemats for kids to draw on. Score! My brother placed an order for some pretzel sticks, some orders of tomato soup and some grilled cheeses. My nieces had huge grins on their faces as they imagined their upcoming meals. After about 25 minutes or so after our order was taken, - the pretzels came out. They looked and smelled fantastic. They were great for holding over my nieces' growing appetites. My nieces enjoyed them thoroughly. That's when things stalled. We waited for over an hour with no additional food coming out. I noticed that there was another family beside our table with a young baby - that had also been waiting a long time. I could see the concerned looks on their faces - as their table grew restless and hungry. You could tell that they were eager to eat, go home and put their baby to bed. My nieces began to to get antsy and began to whine about how hungry they were. My brother said that we would wait about 15 minutes more and if we had no update or food - we'd ask about the status of it. And so we waited. No one came over to us - so I went to the bar - and asked about the status of the food - explaining that we had three younger children with us, that were beginning to get hangry. The bartender said that one of their chefs had gone home sick earlier in the day - and that they were short-staffed in the kitchen. She said that she would check on our order and let us know its status. She never came back over to us. We waited for about 20 minutes longer. Nobody came over. I totally understand how things can get busy, how places can be understaffed, and that things come up - but I think that The Yard could have handled the situation more proactively. They should have let us know from the very beginning that they were understaffed and that there would be a wait for food. We likely would have gone elsewhere. Since my nieces had to be back home promptly for bed - we ended up paying for the pretzels and my nieces' drinks - and left. My brother explained the situation to their staff before we departed. From my time here - I believe The Yard would be a solid spot for a family friendly meal - but only when they're well staffed. If you come here hungry - I'd recommend confirming with the staff - before you are seated - how long the estimated wait for your table and your food may be. Trust.

I wanted something simple like a sandwich for dinner and didn't really want to go to a fast food or chain restaurant. I saw that Tavern in the Hills had good reviews and decided to stop in. There was a decent crowd for a random Wednesday night, including a small gathering for someone's birthday. I arrived about an hour before the kitchen closed and the bartender/server made sure I knew I had to order pretty quickly to ensure I got my food. I appreciated that there were a decent amount of pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan options, which you normally don't find at a small town restaurant. I wanted fish, fries, and a salad (for health). I wanted to order the fish sandwich (broiled) with both as sides, but the server recommended I get the dinner plate instead as it would be cheaper than paying for the second side. I still got it as a sandwich, but didn't realize I'd be charged extra for the roll. I got the salad right away which I decided to hold onto until I had my meal. My fish came out soon thereafter. I was a bit disappointed that the sandwich was just the broiled fish on the roll, no sauce or anything. I spread the tartar sauce I requested on the bread so it would have extra flavor. The fish was decent: it was surprisingly very fishy. I'm not sure if the seasoning blend was off for my palate or what but it just wasn't really my cuppa. I enjoyed the fries, they were well made. One thing I noted is that all the seating in the front is at high tops. There is a room toward the back with regular seating but it seemed like that was more of a special event space and not the regular dining section, which isn't helpful for accessibility.
