    Pretzel Sticks
    Leslie H.

    Karaoke nights at the pub are a great time. The crowds can be a bit much sometimes, but are nearly always singing along. I don't usually eat when I go. I made an exception recently and tried the pretzel sticks. They were kind of greasy, a detail I was willing to overlook because I was hungry and they tasted good. The beer selection is standard craft beer and domestics--I would love to see them stock more high abv beers in the cooler like they used to. Now it's mostly seltzers and IPAs.

    We stopped at Pub In The Park on our way home from an event, and I'm glad we did. The bartender was very friendly and took our drink orders as we walked in so that we'd have drinks in hand on our way out to the patio. It was a beautiful day, and the patio is a great spot to sit and have a meal. We started with pretzel sticks, and they were so warm and delicious. We also ordered a soup flight, and while it was a cool concept, we found that the soups were a little lacking in flavor. I opted for the hibachi bowl with steak, and everything was perfectly cooked. The accompanying teriyaki sauce was so tangy and flavorful. My guest opted for a sandwich, and he said it was good, but didn't many other comments on it. I will absolutely be returning to PITP, as I see they have a "weenie Wednesday" special menu. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food, so I would give it a shot if you've never been!

    A group of seven of us went yesterday at 6pm. We were really excited to try the soup flight (which is the only reason we came in the first place) but sadly they told us they were out so we all got French onion soup, salads, or other appetizers. The inside is small but cozy. Luckily one of our friends stopped by really early so she was able to grab the big table for our group. My French onion soup was decent for a dive bar and reasonably priced. Our server was really nice as a person but service wasn't great. Our food took a very very long time to come out and there was no communication as to what was going on. It also all came out at different times so there was a point where we all had food except for one person (who when she finally got her Buffalo cauliflower said that it wasn't worth the wait). I asked for an order of the jalapeño popper egg rolls after I finished my soup and for some reason they brought it out in a to go container and bag even though there was nothing to indicate that I wanted it to go - most of the party was still eating. A man who claimed he was the owner kept coming over to our table. At first he asked us about the volume of the music and adjusted it which was good since we basically had to yell to talk to each other. He stopped by a few times after that to ask how things were going. I felt like he was trying to be friendly and charismatic but many of the people in my group felt that the attention came off as creepy and unwarranted. He was clearly pretty inebriated which also wasn't a great look. Finally, towards the end of our visit a lot of the men at the bar were using vulgar language (ie p*ssy) so loudly that we could hear them from across the room and that really made us want to leave. For some reason our server only brought out checks to the two people who specifically asked for them and I had to ask that the entire table get our checks since we were clearly done eating. While this place may work as a neighborhood watering hole for locals, we most likely won't be back, not even to try the soup flight.

    We stopped in here one evening and ended up staying longer than expected and getting take out food to go. The vibe is really awesome, it's a neighborhood bar and everyone is so friendly. We met one of the owners and got to talking, and we ended up getting free drinks! The food was pretty good as well, we got spicy cheeseballs, a Rueben, and the buffalo chicken wrap. We swapped out sweet potato fries with one of the sandwiches and I would definitely recommend!

    I was looking for a dog friendly place to eat since I had my dog with me. I found this place nestled in the neighborhood of Swissvale which had a dog friendly patio. It had its own door that led from the sidewalk to the patio. I got a draft of their Arsenal Cider which was quite good. For food, I ended up ordering a couple different items to try. They have a great lunch special for $10 - I chose the Turkey Club and Caesar Salad. I also got a small basket of Chicken Tender & Fries. The honey mustard that came with it was light and sweet. No complaints here for the pub food. It was all quite good for what it was and not too expensive. The server was friendly as well. If I'm ever out in the area again, I'll be sure to come back.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Jared O.

    Nice little dive in Swissvale. Nothing flashy, but a good place for bar food and drinks. We got buffalo chicken dip to start (didn't take a picture) - it did not disappoint. Dip was spicy and had a good amount of chicken, but what made it extra good was the warm pita they give you for it. Philly cheesesteak was good, but my girlfriends French dip was better. I used her au jus for my Philly. Bartender was great - attentive and nice. Less Irish decor than I probably would've expected, but a good local watering hole. Will be back again if we're in the area.

    Spinach and Artichoke Dip

    We were staying within walking distance of this place and went here for some pregaming before a concert. They had bottomless Mimosas for $19. I thought that was a good deal. The cheese in the spinach artichoke dip was too sharp for my liking. The service was good- the patio looked nice but it was too hot for us. We enjoyed the true pub feel inside. I would come back here for drinks and appetizers again.

    Pub In the Park Inc- is a bar and grill in Swissvale.  A super cute neighborhood restaurant.  Friendly service and delicious food.  They have a full bar as well as both indoor and outdoors seating.  Their patio is dog friendly!  They have trivia night and offer other fun activities in their space.  We decided on the buffalo chicken dip app- which was delicious, warm pita served with a crock of great dip.  Tried their soup flight which was amazing.  Was able to try their French Onion, Cream of Mushroom and White Chicken Chili.  I loved the concept of a flight so I was able to enjoy a few different soups in smaller portions. Got their chicken hibachi bowl which was incredible- filled with flavor and a healthy choice! They feature daily specials- we went on a Wednesday- so it was Weenie Wednesday, got a hotdog with sauerkraut and fries- super good! I'd say this is an elevated bar food menu and would definitely recommend and go back!

    Stopped in with my family for a quick bite after playing at Swisshelm Park. Very relaxed, dive bar atmosphere. Food and drinks were served quickly and the staff was friendly and welcoming to our large group. We tried an assortment of foods: favorites were the burgers and the sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip.

    I have been wanting to go here for years and finally made it this past week. We had a group of 7 and sat on the back patio. We were there around 6pm and I was surprised we were the only ones sitting there! I did venture indoors at one point to use the restroom and it was packed inside. They had some decent beers on tap that I partook in. I also ordered the soft pretzel sticks, mushroom and Swiss burger and chicken tenders for the kids. The food was good, not awesome, but good. I would definitely try more things off the menu! If anything I would come back just to sit on the patio for drinks. Good place for kids since we were the only ones back there! Plenty of street parking available.

    What a gem of a spot for bottomless mimosas on a nice Sunday afternoon. Don't be fooled, I asked their for drink specials and there was no mention of bottomless mimosas so I had a Bloody Mary only to find out the table next to us had bottomless! We quickly switched over and thought 15 for bottomless was still worth it! Our server was awesome! He had mimosas on our table while we were sipping our last drop of the mimosa nectar. Our food filled our bellies and some thing my brother-in-law said leads me to believe that the pierogies here might be some of the best around. Between my sister's hamburger salad, the amazing pierogies, and my potato scramble, this place is worth giving a shot. We sat on the patio, listened to music, and enjoyed watching the neighborhood buzz for several hours. The brunch menu changes so I suggest calling or checking their social media's.

    Service is always friendly! Food comes correct and delicious! The place is just a friendly atmosphere and fun to be at!

    What days and time are the trivia nights?

    Every Wednesday at 7pm

    We have a 7-year-old, and live right down the street. Now that they have an honest-to-goodness food menu, I was wondering if it would be okay, and appropriate, to take him there for an early dinner?

    Absolutely, children are allowed in until 9pm. We look forward to seeing you.

The tartar sauce is subtle and dead-on. This is exactly what I want from a fish sandwich. - The french fries that came with the fish and chips are nicely cooked, medium cut. Crispy potatoey and perfect. These are crowdpleasers - everyone at our table liked them. Could possibly be worth a trip in and of themselves.
