    We wanted to check out the Halloween cocktail menu at Bob's Garage so we stopped by on Saturday afternoon. I had never been there before and heard that during the holiday season it looks like Christmas threw up on a dive bar. Well, when we went it looked like Halloween threw up on Christmas which then threw up on a dive bar and we LOVED it. All the decor was so kitschy and fun to look at!! We also really enjoyed their Halloween cocktails which were very reasonably priced. I can't wait to come back for their famed karaoke nights! It's a smaller spot with a square bar with seating around it and a few tables. There is a smaller room to the side that was taken up by some sort of wedding shower party. We sat at one of the tables and the person behind the bar did a great job of checking in on us on a regular basis. What we got: Pumpkin Spice White Russian - caramel vodka, Kahlua, pumpkin spice creamer, whipped cream, cinnamon stick Mad Eye Martini - wild berry vodka, Hypnotiq, lychee juice, eyeball garnish Campfire Mule - smoked maple bourbon, ginger beer, maple syrup, marshmallow garnish

    This Place Is Soooooo Kitchey and Awesome It's Always Decorated In Christmas But During Halloween They Slap The Halloween Right Over Christmas & Boy Do They Do Up The Vintage... This Place Is Sooooo Cool & The Drinks Are Soooooo Yummy... They Don't Have Food But You Can Bring In Food .... Def Going Back

    This place is the perfect old school dive bar (with a Christmas twist!) my date and I stopped in here for a nightcap on a Tuesday evening. The place was pretty empty which was cool because it gave me a chance to look around at everything. It is completely decorated in holiday/beach theme decorations. It was so fun. I don't believe they serve food here so I wouldn't suggest coming here hungry. The bartender was great and super helpful. This is such a fun little spot!

    Great Christmas themed bar, but despite what you might see online, they don't serve food. There was just one bartender working but he was efficient. I would LOVE to see a Christmas drink menu. I'll absolutely come back next year - just for the insane decorations!

    Bob's Garage is an OG Pittsburgh dive bar, although I had never been there until my parents moved within walking distance. We always joked about going there because the outside looks silly covered in Christmas lights all year round. My family finally went there on a Friday night and little did we know, it's Christmas inside all year round too! Wow - we had so much fun! They still had their St. Patrick's Day menu so my mom got some kind of milkshake type drink with Bailey's. I totally expected this to be a bar where you only order basic drinks, but surprisingly they were able to make specialty drinks too. I stuck with vodka sodas, my dad had an Old Fashioned, my brother had a Jack and coke, and my mom had her Irish drinks. The prices are so cheap and the crowd is friendly and fun. Once it was time for karaoke, the guy running it came over pulling extension cords across our table and asked us to move seats lol. We didn't realize that's where karaoke was happening. We moved to the side room and had our own table and could watch/listen to the karaoke from afar. What a fun and silly night. The bartender was also SO nice. Very friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back for karaoke, cheap drinks, and holiday vibes all year round!

    Finally made it to this hidden gem I've heard good things about over the years. When you want a great dive that's decorated for Christmas all year long, this is your spot. They still have a self-serve popcorn machine which you don't see too often anymore. Is it clean? You be the judge. The drinks are strong. Staff can be a little cold but you can tell they have a lot of regulars. It's just a no BS kind of place. Very yinzer. They had a food truck that night so we had some pretty good hot dogs. Can't speak to how often they have food vendors. We went on a Saturday night and there was karaoke going on. We had originally planned to stop in for a quick drink or 2 but honestly karaoke was so entertaining we stayed a lot longer. I recommend when you're in the mood for a classic dive bar night with friends.

    It is what it is! Don't come here expecting 5 star service or clean cut staff but man, I love this place! If you're looking for a good time at a warm place with Christmas spirit, this is it! Cheep drinks, great folks, it's a home run for me.

    Came to check it out with some friends! I wanted to come here because I saw the decorations online. It was everything I wanted it to be, it's even Halloween themed right now. The bartender was really nice. My drink was pretty good too, I tried the poison apple cider cocktail.

    Bob's Garage is a year round Christmas decorated bar on Freeport Road. But going in December makes it extra festive! Local, neighborhood bar vibes and amazing decor!

    When will Bob's Garage be decorated for Christmas in 2021? I wasn't sure how long Halloween stays up. If we come mid November will it be decorated? I have people coming in from out of town.

    They only do Christmas now, so it's up :)

    Yes, I could live without the smoking, but Christmas would just not be Christmas without a trip to Bob's Garage.

The waitress was really nice and said one table was leaving soon and she put some tables together for my large group. She was pretty attentive for serving almost the whole bar alone. My mom and I split the burger and mesquite butter wings I think they could've been a little more saucy, I didn't mention anything, but I'm sure she would've brought me more. If I asked. I heard a lot of good things about the ranch and it was good once I really really tasted it. I didn't find it that flavorful off the top but once I really tasted it, it did have good flavor. Maybe this was a fresh batch that needed to sit. My dad got the buffalo chicken eggrolls. They were good, but we didn't realize it would just be chicken dip in the eggroll wrapper We were expecting shredded chicken with hot sauce and cheese or something similar. I came to celebrate my granddad's birthday just to try something new and he generally likes bar food. He enjoyed it as we sang happy birthday to him. The other patrons and the waitstaff also joined in and someone even offered to buy him a drink. this is a really nice bar if you're looking for good food , good vibes and nice people.

    There wasn't a lot of information about this restaurant online, so I decided to go check this out…read morefor myself and get some information going here. The restaurant is on the main drag at Freeport Road, but it's a little hard to spot due to various trees being in the way. This is more of a bar than a restaurant. They have counter seats, a couple of elevated seats and a few regular seats. The place is very clean and the waitress was very nice. The restaurant does not have paper menus, just a menu written on a chalkboard on the wall. It's not a major issue, but they need to get menu's. The restaurant also does not have silverware ready at your table for you. That also needs to be fixed as while most of their foods are items you pick up with your hand, sometimes forks and knives are needed. The prices are reasonable and you can get two apps and two meals for under $50. The main draw of this place is the chicken wings. They are one of the few places in Pittsburgh with full-sized wings with both the leg and the flat part together. The wings are breaded and are good enough to eat without even putting sauce on them though they give you a box with 8 different sauces to choose from. You can get 6 of them (which is 12 wings elsewhere) or a full dozen (which is 24 wings elsewhere). 6 wings for $12 and $12 for 22. They have wing night on Wednesdays, and the price drops to 75 cents a wing which is very cheap these days. We also ordered burgers, fries and onion rings. The burgers were good. They give you a nice big piece of meat on them and the bacon was good. The fries were okay and the onion rings were very heavy on the onion part of it. The pretzel was a standard pretzel but the cheese for it had either an alcohol or possible honey flavoring to it. The restaurant also does offer happy hour where the apps are half off which makes a big difference. Finally, the restaurant has a lottery machine, darts, a slot machine and some table board games. Overall, I liked the place and would return.

    Great place to get good priced drinks and amazing deep fried full chicken wings. The wings come…read morewith an array of sauces that are all amazing. Great bartenders too!

    My default when I don't feel like being disappointed…read more @thepubat333 is that easy "let's just go to..." and no one argues it because it just...works. There's enough going on menu-wise that everyone figures it out, and I'm not exaggerating-every single time I've been there since they opened, someone at the table orders a French dip. Every. time. It's basically part of the experience now. Also if I see pierogi, I'm ordering pierogi. That's just who I am. Could've taken down the entire plate without blinking but I shared like a respectable adult (meanwhile mentally tracking which ones were supposed to be mine). It's just a laid back, neighborhood spot that doesn't try to be anything crazy and still ends up being exactly what you wanted. Fun fact: my friend and I once prank called from their landline, the owner immediately called back, we answered like nothing happened, and yeah...the phone was no longer an option for us after that

Bar seating was almost full with only a couple seats. Heard good things about their pizza too. There's free parking in the lot (although small). Shout out to our bartender Ange! The black and bleu shrimp was absolutely amazing. It's got blackened spice and has this creamy sauce that makes you go dip for more (I need that recipe honestly). If I had some bread, I'd definitely use this as a dip lol. We got the thin crust Sicilian pizza to share. The pizza unfortunately was very wet and kind of soggy. I think they could have waited to let it rest for a few min before serving because it would especially show when we were separate the slices and try to take one off the plate. I don't usually want my toppings and cheese to just slide off the pizza. Also since we were at a bar w/ some of the games going on, we wanted wings and got their crispy whole wings in a dry spice rub. They were pretty big wings and well seasoned -- not too spicy though if that's not your vibe.
