Wife got us Pens Tickets for my Birthday, So why not stop by the Souper Bowl for a drink and bite to eat. As usual it was really busy however we got lucky going upstairs to the seat your self area. Once seated the service was AMAZING from start to finished. Typical yet good bar food, we had burger(s) and fries plus the zucchini as an app which I would suggest getting it was really good. I would recommend coming here if your in the area, as we will return in the future. read more

Superb Ruben sandwich, friendly service and great prices. Gives you the vibe of a local favorite- the bartender seemed to know most of the people in the place for lunch. I bet Souper Bowl is a lot of fun on a game day- great prices and they have all the beer specials/options you could want! read more

First time here and it was great. My chicken tender salad with house made ranch was great. If your looking for a classy place, this isn't your kind of bar. I love how divey it is. read more

Another smoking bar so beware. I recommend walking up the hill and hitting up the Red Ring before a Pens game instead eating here. If you are just looking for a quick beer, and don't mind smoke, then sure, stop in..........but not if you are looking for a decent meal. Typical bar food with decent sandwiches. I got the Reuben and definitely had better. My love got the Turkey and Bacon club. It tasted a little better but the white bread looked like the $1 loaf you get on sale from the day old rack! 5-8 Beers on Tap. No micros. Lets Go PENS!!!!!! read more

Imbibed here while in town for the NCAA men's Frozen Four. Close to Consol Energy Center, fans of each school were here getting lubed up prior to the games (especially given that no alcohol is sold at NCAA events). People left and right were taking full advantage of the Happy Hour shots and Jagerbomb specials. Bar decor was nothing special--kindof felt like someone's basement--while bartenders did a good job of getting to everyone in a timely manner. Overall, seems like a decent place to grab a beer before heading over to Consol. read more

This was my place during the last Stanley Cup run! Great specials, good food,& fun place to chill and watch the games! Can't wait to go back! read more

We got burgers, sandwiches, and fried zucchini. It was all very tasty and reasonably priced. The menu is somewhat limited but they didn't skimp on portion sizes or meat quantities. The waitress was friendly and quick. We were able to get seats without a problem even though it is across from the arena and there was a concert that night. The only negative is that it is a bit of a dump in terms of decor but we would go back. read more

Stopped by to watch hockey because of their Labatt specials during games! It's a good spot for watching a game, it's a chill atmosphere and it didn't get too crowded or loud. Bartenders served us quickly. Keep in mind that parking might be tough, especially since it's right next to PPG. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It is our office's go to breakfast place. Excellent breakfast and very affordable. Pancakes are HUGE and fluffy! Regular menu is your typical bar food but good. Love Love the Chicken Tortilla soup when it is soup of the day! Next time you are in the neighborhood, don't walk by! read more

The Souper Bowl was the back up bar down the street from our hotel. Anyway, it has the legit feel of a Pittsburgh bar. Yuengling and Iron City beers are available and what's not to love about a Stoli and soda and a Yuengling for $6? Ok, so the limes that were offered with the Stoli were a shocking and alarming shade of brown, but it's Pittsburgh so it's forgiven. 3 Stars for the smoke and sports memorabilia. read more

On a hockey night, you can't go wrong. We love to go here for a quick bite to eat and a few cold beers before hockey games if we aren't tailgating. The food is typical bar food, and you get lots of it. Last time i had the chili cheese nachos and my wife had the chicken strips. It was just enough that we didn't feel the need to pay the stadium prices for the hockey game. read more

If you like hot, the Diablo Chicken is the best spicy chicken sandwich I have ever eaten, and it's not even close. Prices are reasonable for a downtown location, drink prices are very high, but again fit into location. read more

Had a fair bowl of Tortilla Soup- tasted like jarred Quaso or Velveeta with peppers thinned down with whole milk- the grilled cheese with tomato was very good. Good bar food and fair prices . The place like much of Pittsburgh is trapped n the 70's but I like it. We are family. read more

The dinner from hell. Under no circumstances should a simple burger take 50 minutes. The waitress gave our food to a table across the room, which is whatever. However after that she refused to tend to my table or really even make eye contact for a solid 20 minutes. Nearly an hour after we placed our order, she FINALLY brings out a plate. It just happens to be something not even remotely close to my actual order. 5 minutes later I get my actual order. Some of the worst service I've ever received. Absolutely never will I go to Souper Bowl as long as I live. read more

Great Pittsburgh sports bar feel. Terrible service. AWFUL food. I was almost positive I was going to get food poisoning. Food tasted like it was dumpster dived and heated up in the microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. My suggestion is DON'T EAT HERE. You can do better. Hit up Market Square for food and drinks. Grab one last cold Yuengling here and then head over to the game. I repeat, DO NOT EAT HERE!! Unless, of course, you enjoy eating microwaved cat food. read more

Stopped in before the Fleetwood Mac concert. Had the mushroom Swiss burger - seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a LONG time. My BFF had the black bean burger and she said it was delicious. Service was pretty good considering the mass of customers inside. Side salad was meh but I'd definitely be happy to come back here before my next event at consol. read more

This place was awesome. Truly a hidden gem in Pittsburgh. We stumbled upon this place during our time in Pittsburgh for the A10 tournament due to its proximity to the PPG arena. My friends and I loved it so much that we continued to go back. The food is actually really good. Some of the best fries I've ever had. The bartenders were awesome. Quickly learned my name and my drink order. They were super friendly with a good sense of humor. Even with our group constantly chanting, they didn't seem bothered at all. I can't wait to visit Pittsburgh again just so I can stop by here! read more

Stopped in before a Pens game. Didn't mind the 20 min. wait to get a seat. Finally get sat, order a beer and a water. Waitress comes back and say they don't have that beer anymore. Really, you don't carry PBR!. So i get a Dr. Pepper instead. She ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger and I got the Carnivore Burger. 45 MINUTES LATER!. We get the burgers. Now I worked culinary for almost 20 years, it does not take that long even when your busy. The only positive was the burger. It was really good, Buger topped with bacon, bbq pulled pork and American cheese. She likex her burger, which had bacon and crumble bleu cheese, except they didnt melt the cheese. And the fries had that crispy coating on them, not very got though, but edible. My 2nd refill on pop came back as root beer? Terrible service. Probably won't return. read more

Staff was awesome! Had a few drinks and some appetizers before a hockey game. I would definitely come back again.

Went here before a concert thinking it would be a good spot to get some bar food and a few drinks, I was sorely mistaken. I'm not sure who was waiting on the other reviewers, but I guess I got the one guy who forgot he had more than one table. I was given a plastic cup of water, then had to wait around 20 minutes to be asked if I wanted anything else. I was waiting on a friend, so I decided not to get food, bad move, I sat there for another 25-30 minutes without seeing my waiter again. I tried to flag down other servers to send my waiter to my table, but they all ignored me, so I left. I get that the place was packed, I expected that, but to be flat out ignored by multiple people when you arrived at the place BEFORE it filled up is pretty ridiculous. There was another table next to me that even mentioned they had been sitting there for a long time to the same waiter and he offered no apology or reasoning. Unless you like dark, cramped bars and being ignored for 30-40 minutes at a time, I'd strongly advise against going here. read more

Was walking around the area and noticed rhe "Serving Breakfast" so I walked in and ate a delicious 2 egg breakfast and an order of French toast. Friendly staff. read more

Let me just tell you that my boyfriend and I were wondering thru Pittsburgh. Where could we go for the Penguins game? We walked around for a while and stumbled upon The Souper Bowl. Let me tell you this place is a hidden gem. The food is AMAZING but the best part of it all was our waiter. I'm a waitress myself so I must give credit when it's due. Our waiter ShipWreck was amazing. He was funny, nice, and he made the experience more enjoyable. He did it all. The place doesn't have a hostess so he was doing it all. Bussing tables, making conversations to the 11 tables he was waiting on, taking orders, running food, grabbing beer. He rocked it. He gave us the best service I've had in a while, and he was always on the move. Every single person he waited on even left with a smile. You can tell he loves his job. If you wanna stop for GREAT FOOD, COLD BEER, and even BETTER service then check out the Souper Bowl, and ask for ShipWreck to wait on you!! read more

This is my go to place for breakfast or lunch when close to downtown. Very unassuming place. Very Pittsburgh. Dive bar/restaurant with really good food. Excellent service always. read more

Bad service at the door. Equally bad at the table. Food was mediocre. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Lots of good eateries on the same street. read more

Would give zero stars if it were an option! Terrible service, unhelpful wait staff, unorganized and chaotic. Will NOT be returning.

Bar food at it finest!!!! Pleasant servers - great food - favorite spot before an event!!!

Understaffed. Was not prepared for the crowd that came along with the A-10 tournament and St. Patty's day parade. Waitress had too many tables. Food came out cold. Was there over an hour for a wrap, hoagie, and grilled cheese. read more

Very disappointed with our most recent experience. The food was decent but we got swindled into buying beer they were trying to get rid of. When we arrived, we asked the waitress what the specials were and she told us Blue Moon Seasonal. With her answer, our entire party ordered a round. Apparently, their "special' was over $2 more than many of the other beer choices. When we politely brought it up to the waitress, she responded that we should be grateful because that specific beer is usually "much more expensive" but they need to get rid of it. The crowd we were with go to a lot of Pen's games and they lost our business with this shadiness. Don't mind paying more for beer if we're informed of what we're getting, it's not posed as a "special", and it's not crappy seasonal Blue Moon. read more
