My friends and I used to absolutely LOVE this place. We were there ALL the time. Then they decided to change their menu and get rid of all of our favorites. Like the beer cheese bread bowl, the Pittsburgh wrap, the wrap n'at, etc basically everything that set it apart from everywhere else. It's such a shame they've done that. It's just like any generic bar anywhere now and we rarely go there anymore. If they brought back the GOOD menu we'd be back like a shot. Also, what is up with the limp (sorry, 'firm') fries they serve now? Few people like fries that are not cooked properly, God they are SOOO gross. The staff are great though. read more

What a great hometown bar! everyone knows everyone, but they still welcome new faces. Was in last night and the staff was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back every time I'm in town. read more

The barstools are too short for the bar. The bartenders are not educated about the beers on tap. We got a 10 oz. pour on a low Abv/mediocre beer due to what were were told was a concern on cost. We didn't bother to eat. Will not return. read more

Always a very yummy meal. Love to get them for carry out on a busy night. Also love there on house specials. They best fries! Could spruce up the decor, but hey... life is tough. read more

Sideliner's sits is in the old "Little Athens" building on Locust street in the heart of Sewickley Village. Little Athens sut down and had another name for a while after a interior redesign. The bar is alright... lots more seating at the bar itself than there used to be. There are lots of beers on tap, so that is good. This is also a good alternative to the Sharp Edge for six packs. The coolers along the wall are a nice addition (now that it is Sideliner's) having a much larger selection than Pizza Roma (and no smoking!) and far better prices than Sharp Edge. The food is alright- no real complaints, but it isn't anything special. The wings are alright and most recently I had a burger there that was pretty good. I ordered it with gorgonzola, and it could have used a little more cheese. My girlfriend had a buffalo burger (cheeseburger with buffalo sauce... not a burger made from Bison) and it was alright, but it lacked some of the stronger flavors one might expect. The prices here are maybe a little more than you'd pay for the same in the city (everything is served in plastic food baskets), but the prices are far more reasonable than most of the other places in town. This is Sewickley, afterall, so most places are upscale, and the food is really nice. Overall this is place is alright and I would (and most-likely will) go back here. read more

The garlic Parmesan wing flavor is absolutely divine. I'm going to watch some Kobayashi videos and return to conquer Rebecca's Revenge, which is some grotesque 5 patty burger with a pound of fries. Their beer list is also extensive, and they have Fathead's Head Hunter on said list... sold read more

Fried zucchini and fried pickles. Uh...if you love grease and no flavor....have at it Hoss! I love me some food as I'm a fat guy...a vegetarian for over 10 years...but, still I love good tasting food. Can't honestly remember the last time I was disgusted with food that I threw it out....bottom line, I threw it out! Let's just call it was it REALLY was...fried batter. read more

First time there. On a recommendation for my brother. My wife got the wings and they were fabulous. The flavor she wanted was not on the menu but Rob the cook made them exactly the way she liked them. Amy the bartender was very friendly. Service was exceptional. Good atmosphere. If you're a you're a chili fan. I recommend the chili. read more

Although good, the soup was luke warm. Everyone's fries looked (and tasted !) like grease - how do you mess up something so simple!!! Some burgers in the group were ok but one was very charred on the outside that you could pick the black stuff off. Seafood roll was good. read more

This used to be a great place to hang out and have a good meal. Key phrase, used to be. They slashed their menu and they nickel and dime you on the bill. They charged me $1 for mustard!! The staff is very courteous and friendly. I blame the poor food and lack of customer focus on the ownership. We used to come at least once per week now it's once every couple of months. Came in tonight for bacon night and was nit picked again on ridiculous up charges. Get real!! Treat your customers better and maybe you'll fill the tables..just saying. read more

This is a cool little sports bar in the heart of Sewickley. It's a great place to sit at the bar with a beer and watch the game on one of the many tvs. The people who work here are very nice, and the food is pretty good too- but it's not really my social scene. I always feel a bit awkward when hanging out in Sewickley because it's a bit uppity. read more

Food is ok but won't return. Terrible service. Manager, Tiffany, had an attitude the whole time we were there. She took a phone call and loudly took issue with whoever was calling. Then rolled eyes when only other customer needed something and she had to get up from seated position. Then my dining mate ask a question and you would have thought he asked for her weight. She openly took joy in reprimanding him (he simply said management must be doing something wrong when they're so close to the hospital and it isn't crowded during lunch). She was like "I'm the manager and this place is always packed. You don't know what you're talking about". Her outrage was clear. First he was talking to me, not to her. Secondly he is right. And thirdly, he more than knows what he's talking about as he's spent is life working in the resturant field, mainly management. She was out of line. Not our first time there and it's always dead. This place won't last with her managing it. read more

I really enjoyed this place. By far the cheapest bar I've ever gone to and surprisingly didn't get cheap/bad service. We got the garlic barbecue wings and they were delicious. We also got the beer cheese fries which were not my favorite since I was expecting the thick beer cheese, but it was thin. However, due to the fact that I spent barely any money and got quite a lot of drinks and food I'm very happy about this place. Honestly I'm not kidding when I say this is the least expensive place I've ever been to. We got a couple American honey shots and they were only $2.75 each. Like what?! I live in the city and wouldn't be able to get those shots for even $4. They had some good beers on tap as well. I wish this place was closer because I would certainly be a regular. read more

Truly the best wings to be had! I am not much of a drinker but I had 2 orders if the wings. It was very fun as many of my friends were there. It was my first time going there and I will be back for sure!! read more

Had the very best fried oysters ever here tonite. Love their hot wings- always cooked to perfection. All around great bar food at excellent prices . Superb staff. Friendly atmosphere and clientele . read more

The atmosphere was great with the sports games on and the beer was a great selection. The tacos were less than desired. Cold, bland, and frankly very poorly made for $4/taco. read more

We visited here for our annual Fat Tuesday Wingfest. Last year it was good. Not so much this year. Our server was rude and almost hostile to us. There were six of us and we told her that we would tip her well as long as the drinks and wings kept coming. She insinuated that large tips do not motivate her. What? And neither kept coming. We cut our night short by hours because we got tired of looking at empty wing baskets and drink glasses. We will never go there again. Maybe it is a good place for the Sewickley Village hipsters with baby strollers and man buns, but not six mid-50s executives looking for one night our a year. read more

The name pretty much says it. This place has a great selection of bottled beers and a decent selection of drafts which is constantly changing. They offer modest happy hour discounts and have a typical selection of bar food (wings, burgers, etc.) with a few vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable especially in Sewickley. The wine selection is awful and there are few premium liquors so your best bet is to stick with the beer. The place can be crowded and noisy, especially at happy hour, and the bar is unusually high; uncomfortably so. But for the money, it is probably one of the best values in Sewickley, if bar food fits your bill. read more

Great beer! Really awesome selections, too! Everything else (the food, the service, the atmosphere) is decent. Not great but worth it. This is the kind of place you can picture yourself becoming a regular at. The service is OK but can be a little slow on weekend nights. read more

Came here on a Saturday night for the Pens game at 7pm. Not a single tv had hockey on and they were playing out of state college football instead. Older crowd...a couple of families eating dinner also. Beer prices were decent, $3 bottle specials for the game and $4 domestic pints. It was taco night, so I opted to give their $4 gourmet tacos a try. I had one chicken, one pork and one fish taco. The soft shells were dry from the heat lamp, but the toppings were flavorful and fresh. The garlic Parmesan wings were crispy , hot and delicious. The chili was homemade but definitely on the spicy side...too spicy. One of the individuals in my party got the fried chicken mashed potato bowl (KFC knockoff) and it looked very very good. I wouldn't come back for anything but their specials...just not worth the regular prices and even $4 for a taco is a little much. Service was good. Overall this is a solid spot for Sewickley. read more

We expected better. The food was not good. The fries are plentiful but they're tiny little nubbins - and, even worse, ours were cold. I had the buffalo ranch wings and they were terrible. It was like wings swimming in a thick barb-a-que scented vinegar. Just bad. My husband had the sloppy joe and said it was so-so. Our kids ordered a hot dog and a PB&J. The report on the hot dog was positive, but we had to return the PB&J because the child couldn't fit it in his mouth. It was made on very thick Italian bread with a hard crust - honestly, how they expected a child to be able to eat it I'll never know. We returned it for flavorless Kraft mac & cheese that had obviously been cooked days before and just reheated. They have the nerve to charge $5 for it. The service was terrible. The waitress's breath and clothing absolutely reeked of cigarettes and beer, and she seemed high as a kite. This was at 4:00pm on a Thursday. There was only one other table occupied in the dining room yet our service was very slow. We had to try Sidelines once, but we won't be returning. read more

We walked in and the only people in the bar were 2 waitresses who were stuffing their faces and didnt even acknowledge our presence.. After 10 minutes we got up and left.. Not worth reviewing just saving someone else from wasting their time.. read more

Presently waiting over an hour for our meal and they are not overly busy. Service is abysmal. The only appetizer that made it out was cold. We won't be back read more

Been here several times. Service is good sometimes and horrible others. Food is good. Lots of beer. Creepy atmosphere.

Sidelines is the best bar/restaurant in Sewickley Village by a mile. I've tried just about everything on the menu, and the food is consistently good. While I love their burgers, wraps and fried pickles, their wings are arguably the best wings in the Pittsburgh area. They have a ton of wing sauces to choose from! The beer selection is extensive and they have great monthly specials on cocktails (although I would suggest a grey goose vodka special every now and then). Aside from the great food and drinks, the best part about Sidelines is the service. The entire staff (shout out to Amie and Natalie) are the most welcoming and friendly people! And I am truly puzzled by some previous reviewer's comments about the Manager, Tiffanie. She is the best! She always greets me and my friends with a smile and has a great sense of humor. It's because of her that my friends and I keep going back! read more

Slowest service in town, got here at 650, still waiting for our food at 740pm. I have no idea if the food is good, because it is never going to get here. Help. I'm hungry, 8pm still waiting, never ever come here!!! read more

The first time I went to Sidelines was on a Friday evening. My parents live out that way, and my mother said it was a good place for happy hour. I didn't expect much, as it doesn't look like much, but found it to be really solid bar food and a pretty great drink menu. Any place with Arsenal on tap wins points in my book from the start ;). Our waitress was super nice and very helpful. I ended up going with a burger and was genuinely surprised how good it was. Also, the make their own fries and chips, and while I'm not a potato fan (I know, I know) for what they were they were pretty damn good. I thought to myself then, 'I should definitely do this again sometime!' Fast forward to this past Monday... the place was packed! (good for them :) But the staff handling the crowd was not exactly prepared. The poor guy working the back section had a table of around 20, and seemed to be having an actual panic attack. I felt really bad, because anyone who has served knows how crappy it is to be slammed so hard. But that didn't make me any less hungry... Needless to say after quite a bit of waiting we finally ordered a couple burgers. Apparently Monday is create your own burger night (for only $6!). By the time they fed the extremely large party, and the rest of the crowded place, it seemed like they had just about given up on our food. The burgers kind of stunk. The fries were a grease pit, and my chips were way burnt. Also, their Arsenal keg had tapped the night before. Overall it was really disappointing. So maybe I will give them a third chance sometime in the future and see if it's more like time 1 or more like time 2... but for right now I think 3 stars is fair. read more

Great food and great service! Nick was my waiter the last two times I was there. Nick is awesome. Nick is the real MVP

Tons of beers on draft and in bottle. Places has a sit down section and a bar on the opposite side. Good bar food. Tons of wing sauces but watch out because they are spicier than you would think. I'm a huge fun of hot stuff and 8 has a definite kick. They have daily food and happy hour specials. Crab leg night is awesome Bc for $20 you get unlimited salad and fries along w buckets of crab. The turn around time for crab isn't too bad but make sure that you order when you have one or two left Bc I've been there when they start to run out. read more

Decent wings, great beer selection and ok service. I was not disappointed, above average sports bar for sure.

Great wings! Try the garlic fries. This place is generally busy, but there is always room to move and mingle.

When the current ownership opened, the quality of food was strong. I've gone back a couple of times a year for the last two years & it gets worse every time. Short-staffed, long waits for cold food, wrong orders, and bland food. Too bad because the venue is comfortable & the drinks are good. Never again. read more

I would really like to fall in love with Sidelines. But I've been there three times and it is always just meh. They have a good beer selection, but their bartenders always seem rushed and aren't very attentive or friendly. The ambiance is loud and chaotic and doesn't have that warm and friendly pub vibe. The tables in the dining area always need to be cleaned off. The food is bland. I've eaten there twice and literally can't describe what I've had...boneless chicken wings and fries? Maybe? So why do I go to Sidelines you may ask? Because Sharp Edge Sewickley's kitchen closes at ten and Sidelines' kitchen is open until (I think) one in the morning. Sometimes it is not good to drink on an empty stomach. In that case, Sidelines it is. read more

I really would like to give this restaurant more stars. It has an amazing wing selection and a beer selection that makes me feel very frustrated with the decision to not go back. However, the service was attrocious. The waiter always seemed in a hurry to be elsewhere. Even when we were finally able to ask for more drinks, she only asked one of us before hurrying off. And the restaurant wasn't even busy. We had the wings and the were okay. I've had better at Mad Mex. The beer selection is phenomenal, but for the lousy service, we would rather go elsewhere. read more

Love it! Great atmosphere. Awesome draft and beer cooler selections! Great happy hour specials and really good food. Definitely worth checking out. read more

The wait for food was a bit aggrivating but our server, Jesse was great with checking in on us to make sure we had our fill in drinks and if there was anything he could do to help pass time! Tried the heatinator burger and I loved it! My wife had the bourbon blaze boneless wings, her only complaint was that the serving size was too small. The bucket of fries compensated though! Overall, a great place to watch the game and enjoy a new beer! read more
