Great dive for pool and darts experience. Happy hour was getting going on a Friday and it looked like a league was starting so would just advice to call and ask if they have league events if you're trying to get a few rounds in. read more

"If you are looking for an authentic Pittsburgh dive that feels like home from the second you walk in, Squirrel Hill Sports Bar is the place. The owner, Barry, is often there personally greeting regulars and newcomers alike, ensuring the atmosphere remains friendly and welcoming. We were there for a comedy show and discovered they no longer serve food. However, they are fine if you bring in food from the Chinese restaurant next door or restaurant of your choice. read more

What a cool place. There's a bar area, plenty of pool tables, and a door in the back leads to a separate room where they show live music. Saw a great performance from local band Hockey Temper on Friday. Music was good, the crowd was nice. My go-to drink is a gin in tonic. Ran just under $5 and was pretty tasty. Right now there's construction outside, but the bar's big arched sign is still easily visible over the work. That's the main entrance. There's another door just off to the right that goes into the stage area. Everyone who worked there seemed awesome, especially the door guys. Excited to go back. read more

Great environment. Went there for a comedy show and it was amazing. The shows are actually performed in an old movie theatre, that has been renovated. It's perfect. Great staff, cool people, the comedy shows are hilarious!!! Will definitely be back. read more

Fun hole in the wall bar! The owner Barry loves to make sure everyone is having a good time. Huge selection of drinks and a good selection of drafts all at a great price. Love to come in and watch some games or shoot some pool! Would recommend! read more

My favorite bar EVER! Such a great, welcoming atmosphere. Barry goes out of his way to welcome & speak to everyone. I've turned many people into lovers of this place. Great vibes all around. read more

Nothing special. Not as scary inside as the outside would suggest. It looks like a dark pit from the street, but it's not so bad once you're in there. Plenty of bar seats and a good portion of the place is taken up with pool tables. I stopped in on a Monday and the drink prices were completely acceptable. It's a smoking bar though, that will keep me away on nights when it might be more busy. I smelled like an ashtray after 3 drinks and the place wasn't even close to full. Ick. There was food being served sporadically, but it was all coming out of a small microwave/oven hybrid thing about the size of a small refrigerator. We didn't try anything, but nobody offered us a menu either. **We did go back again and on this trip we ordered a pizza to go with our beer. I don't recommend their pizzas. This was on par with a $3-4 frozen, grocery store pizza. read more

I remember this bar being PD'S Pub and Frankie and Georgie's but Squirrel HIll Sports bar is one of my favorite local dive bars in Pittsburgh. Whenever I do have the chance to get out and come here, I have always had great experiences and felt welcomed. This is a friendly bar with really great deals on drinks, a good place to watch Steelers games/sports, they have a pool table, you can bring your friends to socialize with and make new ones, the owner Barry is really nice and welcoming, and they also have Pop Punk Night once a month with no cover charge and it's a great environment to be in if you want to stay local if you live in Squirrel Hill! They also have Karaoke night on Fridays. I also know one of the bar tenders too from going there. read more

I really like Squirrel Hill Sports Bar. They have a wide variety of beers, their tap selections are good, nice seating, pool tables, open mic nights, good eats and service. The BBQ out front during the summer is excellent too. I have met the owner a few times when I've been in there and he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. His interest in running a nice establishment is obvious when you take a look at this place. read more

One of the first bars I went to, after getting to Pittsburgh. Almost got into a bar fight with a drunk guy, for no reason at all - not something you would want on your second day at a new city! Besides that, good affordable beer, friendly staff and the karaoke was fun. read more

Massive beer list, amazing bar food and open mic night never disappoints. I've never had trouble parking.

Some time ago, I visited this bar and encountered a really hostile and xenophobic attitude from the elderly female bartender. After presenting my driving license from Puerto Rico the bartender told me that she could not accept my id because Puerto Rico was not part of the U.S. and asked for my passport. Although annoyed at her ignorance of US history, I showed her my US passport. However, this was obviously not enough for her who continued insisting that Puerto Rico was not part of the U.S. and that for security reasons she needed to PHOTOCOPY my passport, which is not only illegal, but was an obvious xenophobic and racist move to exclude me from the bar. I have not since returned to this place and I will continue dissuading anyone I know from ever stepping into this bar. read more

I'm writing this review strictly from a pens fan point of view. The place isn't bad if you can stand the constant cigarette smoke and random people telling you their life story in the middle of a pens game. But I walked out when the manager or owner Berry I think his name was turned off the pens game sound for some whiney ass country music. I asked the bartender if she wouldn't mind turning the pens game back on and she obliged. But Berry screamed at her "NO! I don't want that on!" "We only put the Pens game sound on during the playoffs". (Which is a lie because me and my wife watched the Pens Vs. Red Wings on New Years Eve at this bar and the sound was on the entire game) I was stunned, asked for my check and left. Cool place for smokes and stories but if you are a real sports fan this "sports bar" is a NO! read more

Love it. Get to know the bartenders and the owner, they are wonderful people. Be sure to notice the insane amount of TVs and fancy coasters. Good drink specials during sports games! read more

What a fun hole in the wall in Squirrel Hill! A friend and I stopped in after bowling at Forward Lanes next door, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much character this place had. Equipped with dart boards, pool tables, and even a pretty good sized stage in the back, this place has quickly become one of my favorite smokey bars to visit in this neighborhood. Although the beer was a little more expensive than I was expecting from such a dive bar, there was a good band playing and there was no cover at the door. While the crowd wasn't very diverse, the divey local patrons are my people. I'll definitely stop in again. read more

Food is typical bar food. Bartender is great and super friendly. Crown is super nice. And decent price. Will come. Back for sure.

Spent the entire night expecting Jon Taffer to walk through the door and start reaming out the drunk owner, manager, and waitress who may or may not have been working that night. I'm not sure simply because she was mostly drinking and hanging out but was seen behind the bar and sometimes clearing tables. Also...rolling on the floor with another woman. Everyone seemed to know each other and good luck getting the bartender's attention of you're not a regular. When you do, be prepared to be treated as if you're interrupting her and she's doing you a major favor by taking your order. Outside bbq was very good, although be prepared to have a backup choice or two because they're probably out of what you want. And it's cooked to order, so don't expect to eat within the hour. Settle in, it's going to be a while. Lastly, everything you wear and have on you will reek like smoke so try not to wear something you can't throw in the wash as soon as you get home. This was my first and last visit and I would not recommend. read more

Management kicks butt. Love the place. Love the pool tables and tournaments. Love the bartenders as well.
