This is my go to spot to watch sports. It gets crowded during the football season so get there early to get a table. The 50 cent wings on Sunday, Tuesday, (i think Thursday) and Saturday are clutch. read more

A typical sports bar in Shadyside. I've only been here once a couple years ago, but from what I remember the beer selection was pretty good, and the quality of the food is about par. To be honest, I prefer watching the game elsewhere, hence why I haven't been back. However, I'd recommend a stop-in sometime to see if the place and vibe tickle your fancy. read more

Wednesday night is wing night. So I had to go with the Yuengling and wings. Not terribly crowded or loud as others indicated. Attentive service sitting in bar area. Slightly limited menu, mostly sandwiches and a few salads, wings are the primary fare. read more

My favorite college bar with delicious bar food. The kitchen sink wings are a must - if you don't like wings you can get the kitchen sink chicken tender wrap which is amazing. I love their mac n' cheese bites. My go to drink was a john daly's which they make wonderfully. The bartender's are nice - but be prepared for crazyness on the weekends! This is probably one of the most popular bars in Shadyside and gets nuts after 11pm. read more

This is my go-to spot on nights when the wings are only 50 cents. You really can't beat Will Penn when it comes to wings and a great sports environment. It's a bit grungy since it's also a bar that's frequented by tons of college kids, but it's a place where you can still feel comfortable and have a good time with a group of friends. Would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Friendly bartenders willing to put whatever sports event you want on the big screens. Frequent $0.50 wing nights. Wings delicious. Chicken fingers are a great value. And LARGE light beer pitchers for $7.50 all day every day. College crowd after 10 on Friday/ Saturday. No better place to watch Steelers. read more

Haven't tried the wings yet, will try next time. Went there two days in a roll for drinks. Like the patio because it' s nice weather.

Those stars are for the wings! If your not ordering wings don't come. I haven't tried everything on the menu buttttttt the nachos are skimpy and salty and those Mac and cheese bites are nothing but Kraft boxed Mac and cheese, no thank you. Oh and extra ranch is 75 cent and comes in a little cup smh... But wings are delicious and great price... read more

William Penn Tavern - Left: honey buffalo, honey bbq, and Cajun... Honey buffalo by far my fav - Sports Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I hate sports bars. I don't like a bar w too many tvs but this bar won me over. Bear the owner is just an OG and so nice. It's so friendly and nice. The food is really good. Man for bar eats and friend food - I love it. I crave it some days. The wings. Prob my favorite in the city. It's my go to when I want fried stuff I have to say. Haha. I cool fresh yummy food at home all the time and get foodie but when I go here it's all fried up goodness and comfort food. Yum! My husband goes here everyday for lunch almost since he works over there and for years. It's mega local at lunch and people are loyal. If this place ever closed I'd be bummed. It's one of those great small businesses/ bars that's warm and bear the owner is a gem. He knows everyone's name and this bar is no fuss no muss. Nothing fancy but warmness and good food every time. Thanks bear! read more

1st time there and loved it. Nice location with garage or street parking. Staff was on the ball! Food came out fast and was delish. Good beers on draft. Bar has the best little outside area with lots of heaters. Good music too! read more

The waitress told us we had to leave our table right after we paid our bill (and tipped her generously) just because we hadn't ordered another drink. I have never been treated so rudely by a waitstaff before in my life. read more

Probably the worst bar in Shadyside to go on Friday/Saturday nights. Waaay too crowded and loud. The clientele sucks - it's people in their mid to late-20's desperately trying to cling onto their college years by being loud and obnoxious. It does have a nice back patio that is heated during the winter and smoking is permitted, which is nice. If you are there on a week night, it might not be so bad. Drink prices aren't anything special and cocktails aren't that strong. I'd venture a guess that this is a good hang-out spot during sporting events. It feels very sports-bar oriented. I would say this is a good bar to go with a large drunk group, and that's it. If you are by yourself or in a small group, Cappy's or Mardi Gras would be much better IMO. read more

Bombbbbbbbbb A wings. Cheap and tasty how we like it. Nice bartenders and speedy service. Decent beer specials. Only thing it's missing is a pinball machine. Definitely will make this a regular spot! read more

We love this place ... dependable food, generous pours but most of all, the nicest staff in the city ... bar none!! Try the wings for sure ... always a great choice. But look at the specials board for inventive alternatives to the regular fare. A neighborhood classic! read more

This is my favorite bar to watch sports in all of Pittsburgh, right off of the main street in Shadyside. Always good food and drink specials, the service is always good. There is a nice outdoor area as well. The kitchen sink wings are the absolute best, I get them pretty much every time I go. read more

Great place to go for a beer and some wings (buffalo are awesome in my opinion). It gets pretty crowded at night Thursday through Saturday--but that's to be expected. And There's no substitute for their nice, helpful staff that will take the time to get to know you if you eat/drink there a couple times. One of my favorite bars through and through. read more

Wings are perfect. Medium sized and crispy. Sauces are pretty good: Ranch: typical restaurant ranch, Medium: thicker n somewhat vinegary, Voodoo: thick bbq with Italian seasoning. Cajun rub is a little much but very tasty. read more

Not a bad place to stop by and grab a beer at. The staff is okay, the food is average and the prices aren't bad. Would recommend day drinking here, but it gets a bit outta hand on weekend nights. read more

A bit of a hipster hole in the wall, this place has incredible food. The atmosphere is college frat, but the food is for real. Two words. Philly cheesesteak. You must have one. It is the rival of any you might find in our sister to the east. Tony Luke, Pat, Geno, Jim: You have a real competitor in Shadyside! read more

Bartender put a xanax in my drink. Thankfully I saw before my night was ruined. Chargers are pending.

This place is home, excellent food, excellent service, and the greatest bar atmosphere in all of Pittsburgh

I used to go here all the time. The staff has recently changed and i feel like i don't know any of the employees there anymore. This place went from being cheers to a run of the mill local dive bar. The crowd now seems younger and more frat-partyish. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone over the age of 30 on a friday or saturday night. One bright spot is that the food is still amazing. Plus if you like the steelers, get there early on a sunday and enjoy the atmosphere of 100 other people who love the steelers too. read more

Great beer and food specials. They had the Michigan game on too!

I love William penn tavern! It's a cool spot in shadyside that allows you smoke in the outdoor bar/seating area. Awesome in the summer and even in the winter they have heaters set up. The drinks are cheap and if you're a liquor drinker they pour a strong drink. I definitely recommend this place. Cheapest way to get drunk in shadyside! read more

"Good For Dancing: No" Although not the typical place to go dancing as the place is pretty small, the music here is so good that it makes my friends and I dance each time we come here. A place that allows some dancing is an automatic 5-star bar. In addition though, food was pretty good and service was great, and I promise I'm not saying that just because our server was very attractive. I don't come to Shadyside often, but when I do, this is my go-to place. read more

Our favorite place in Shadyside! The staff is friendly and quick. Must order the kitchen sink wings and fried mac and cheese bites - heaven.

This is a pretty amazing place to go. They have all kinds of drink specials and all kinds of beer. The food here is really good too. I been on a couple dates here and I would definitely recommend taking someone here for a date. They have great service and a really nice staff. The bartenders know what they are doing and know how to pour your drinks. I love coming here and I am definite coming back read more

It's the go-to for Carnegie Mellon students. $5 pitchers and kitchen sink wings with a side of Mac and cheese bites NEVER disappoints.

The place is a dump. One of those places that the owner puts up any sign or poster that his beer reps hand him. The beer selection also sucks. What I like about the WM Penn is that its real. You know what your getting there. Great TV selection. Great sports bar. They have hands down the best cheese steak hoagie in Pittsburgh. There is no comparison!! Not even close!!!! read more

First and foremost. This is the worst lay out ever for a bar. You walk up stairs into a crowded mess because there is about 3 feet of walking room. Pricing is horrendous for beers. Food is ok. Thats all i got. Not too bad during the week. Weekend: dont bother. read more

My fav local hangout!!!! Staff is awesome! Food is phenominal!!!! Great place to watch a game. Ive met a few cool people here as well. Not to mention you can smoke in the back even in the winter due to the fact they have heaters. Very cool looking ones at that. I normally drop about 200 bucks each time I go. Not including and average 40 dollar tip. Maybe that's why the staff loves me and I get great service. Haha read more

Not impressed. I travel all across the country and usually do wings at every city I visit. Appeared to be a great location and area to get some food. Arrived, nobody said hello, guess it was open seating so my cousin and I sat down. Waited for awhile, had to go up to order door to get someone to clean off table. Ordered cheese sticks, they're an appetizer, but they came with the rest of the food - that took forever. Not sure if they're were short handed or just busy. I will say that there was only two seats open when we arrived but when the table next to us kept asking for their check repeatedly, then I knew I wasn't the only one thinking they're slow. The one positive thing though was that our food was fresh and hot, so score two stars there! Not impressed with the kitchen sink wings, honey buffalo we're ok, also ordered BBQ and had them drop some buffalo sauce which actually was pretty darn good. Other than that, I do not plan or stopping by here again. Cool atmosphere for a bar scene. read more

Best wings in Pittsburgh!!!!! The kitchen sink sauce is life changing. They're fries and chicken cheesesteaks are awesome too!

I am only giving one star because Yelp won't let me give zero stars. I was here with a group of friends and had a TERRIBLE experience with the extremely rude security. All of us are transplants to Pittsburgh and come from different states. As many people know (and bouncers especially NEED to to know), not all states have the same standards for the material that state IDs are printed on. Our friend from South Carolina had one such example of an ID that is printed on pretty flimsy material. When the bouncer checked his ID, he said he couldn't accept it, to which we responded assuring it was real and offered other forms of ID to prove this. Rather than hand back the ID and send us away, the guy immediately RIPPED HIS ID IN HALF. Can you say destruction of property? Note that all of us are over the age of 25 and clearly not frehmen in college just trying to sneak in. Needless to say, I will never come back here. read more

Wonderful neighborhood dive/sports bar with good and intelligent bartenders and good food.

I love the staff because they are very friendly and nice but they no longer carry the wing specials. They only have 50 cents boneless wings and they are small. The charge of a dollar per wing ding is too much. I used to go all the time but now I barely go there and YES I always spent money and tipped the staff read more

It's a sports bar... I've heard the wings were good, but the bad hip-hop was too loud to be worth staying for more than one glass

I ordered food takeout on Sunday Feb 26th from William Penn Tavern in Shadyside. I have always loved it here but today the I am writing about the service aspect side of things. I recently had foot surgery and am using crutches. The one guy working there actually opened the doors for me. Then when leaving the same guy offered to walk the order out to my car for me. I usually don't expect this service but under the circumstances the offer was accepted gladly! The chicken cheesesteak is the best in the city and will def be back again! Thanks again William Penn. read more

You get "bang for your buck", great wings and friendly staff. Angus burger and zucchini planks never disappoint! Outdoor patio great for smoker clientele. read more

Great food and normally great atmosphere, but today thus music was the nastiest hardcore rap that was just offensive. How many F-bombs can you realistically listen to while eating lunch and watching sports. Dropped 2 stars from what I would last night whenit used to be my favorite place in shadyside. read more
