    Back dining area.

    Was here in Pittsburgh with a buddy last month Wednessday through Saturday to catch the Dodgers vs the Pittsburgh Pirates. We got swept. I loved the PNC stadium and abundance of bars , pubs. I chanced upon this bar while walking around Pittsburgh. I love the name" Fat Heads Saloon". I got childhood friends who we call Fat head..lol. Anyway the bar was laid back and ckmfortable. Friendly staff and patrons snd hood priced. I felt welcome here snd s few brews and some bourbon. Nice way to finish a walkabout! I'd definitely come back.

    Luv Fatheads and have been coming here for nearly 30 years. The Buffalo Chx Sandwich is my go-to. New wrinkle...it was chopped chicken instead of a Chx breast. This was a bit disappointing---it just wanted to fall off the bun.....BUT, the Beasty BBQ sauce is still the bomb and their ranch is a nice compliment. I sat at the bar...service was good. I hope they go back to asking it a breast

    We are on a quest to check out some spots that serve wings, so we decided to start at Fat Heads! I know they are mainly known for their beer and their huge sandwiches, but here we are! We arrived on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM. There was a musician playing live music, but they also had bowl games playing on tv too. We didnt make a reservation but was able to be seated in the dining area right away. Our waitress took our drink order- I ordered a ginger ale and my boyfriend ordered the bumble berry beer. We then ordered our food- we split an order or fries, smoked wings with beasty BBQ sauce and fried wings with mild buffalo sauce. We both commented on how good the wings and fries were! Though not known for their wings, Fat Heads got it right! This is a clutch casual spot right in the heart of the Southside!

    Man, it's been a while (at least 15 years) since I've been to Fat Heads! I was in the Burgh and was heading back to Columbus at rush hour and decided instead of sitting in traffic, get wings. Only 1 place came to mind. Sat at the bar, ordered a Jungle Juice, 10 Spicy Parm and fries. I forgot how much I loved these things! These wings literally set the expectation level for wings my whole life. Large and meaty, just the right amount of heat, and covered in parm. The hot sauce and cheese combined into this addicting and unique wing that only Fat Heads has. The fries were perfectly crispy and the portion was huge. Man I miss this place! I'll have to come back and try the other sauces I used to get.

    I'm a big fan of Fat Heads Saloon. I love their fried pickle chips and buffalo cauliflower bites and all of their beers are excellent. On my last visit, they were out of the pickles so I ventured to try the fried mushrooms. They were just ok. The breading overpowered the shrooms, in my opinion. We ate them all, though, so they couldn't have been that bad! I also tried the imperial bumble berry beer, which was tasty. I'll be back soon to try again to score some frickles!

    In town for a girl's weekend. This was a great local bar with a large menu and cold beer! We split appetizers...sausage stuffed banana peppers and buffalo wings. Amazing taste...good prices...surprised we were last ones there at 9:20 on a Thursday! Recommend

    Amazing local bar with friendly staff and delicious food!!! First time visiting Fat Heads Saloon and enjoyed every minute of it. It was trivia night on Tuesday at 7pm and anyone can join the game. Bartenders were friendly and had quick service even though they were very busy. The environment was very causal. They have a wide selection of beers, ciders, wine, and seltzers plus can make any cocktail. I ordered the Caramel onion & mushroom burger with French fries, the meat was cooked just how I like it medium well and the fries were cooked from scratch. They also have flights (5oz each) available for you to try different drinks. Highly recommend if your in the area to check them out! (:

    Great spot for a group lunch. We were able to grab drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. Waits can be long, especially during peak times. The workers are always awesome and very helpful with the menu. This place is a favorite due to their GF menu and options.

    Wow! Went to Fat Heads tonight and has it changed! They got rid of the fried mushrooms and the fried pickles and shrunk their menu down to 2 pages. The good news is the portions are still respectable. Service wasn't the best either, took a long time to get the beer and the check. They also ran out of the beer I wanted. Disappointed and won't be making the 35 minute trip here anymore. They had a good thing going before and wrecked it.

    Crumble Berry

    First time ever at Fat Heads. Was not disappointed. Little bit of a wait, but helped myself to a nice cold Crumble Berry beer while waiting for our table to be called. Tried the Expert Pastrami Headwich and it was great. Huge sandwich stuffed with pastrami, hot sausage, egg, onion, pickle, etc. Had a side of fries with some spicy ranch which was tasty as well. Overall, great dinner. Great service. Our waitress Gia was amazing especially with how busy it was! I will be back Fat Heads...

Since then it has been amazing and at times…read moredisheartening to me to realize how embedded alcohol is in social life, and how easy it is to not feel a part of the moment when you are no longer drinking. The Open Road is here in the up-and-coming Garfield neighborhood to help supply sober and sober curious people, and really anyone interested in cutting back on alcohol or supporting someone who is, with delicious beverages that help you feel like you're not missing out on a thing. There are nonalcoholic beers, spirit-free versions of things like gin, bourbon, bitters and truly anything else you might need to make yourself alcohol free drinks at home. There are also pre-canned and bottled options where you don't have to do any of the work, nonalcoholic wine and bubbly, functional beverages with added benefits, the amount of choice is nearly overwhelming in the best possible way. It's a clean, open vibe in the shop and the staff is kind and helpful. I have bought from them a number of times throughout the year at various pop-ups but this was my first visit to the shop and of course won't be my last. They are regulars at Pittsburgh festivals and other events and I'm deeply appreciative for their presence in the community!

I'm not sober but this store is for everyone! I started shopping here a couple of years ago during Dry January. I now do Dry July or dry-ish July too They have so many options! Great for cutting down your drinking or completely abstaining. Also really great to pick things up here if you're having a party, get together, company over, and so on. I personally have a couple of pregnant friends who cannot drink but like Non alcoholic wine. This is just such an amazing concept as a store and it's awesome seeing places like this start to pop up. More people are cutting back or going sober and you never know someone's reason for not drinking!

They served Collefrisio wines and had great cheese plates. My friends and I would go for their happy hour for half priced glasses of Riserva wine. It was a very laid back atmosphere. I don't think the wine bar has reopened, but I visited recently for a coffee. De Fer Coffee & Tea is now the coffee provider inside the grocery store. I guess I haven't been there for a while, because there were a lot of changes! The macaron stand isn't there any more, and they have seats instead. I was so glad that I took my laptop with me, because once I saw the seats I decided to stay and work. While sipping on my oat milk latte, I watched all the Downtown work people come and go ordering custom sandwiches and hot foods for lunch. They have a good selection of food and the prices are reasonable. I remember one time ordering salmon, veggies, and something else and it was only about $10-$12. They served it to you on a plate, and I ate it in the wine bar. I didn't eat anything on this most recent trip, but I enjoyed my latte from De Fer. I'm glad to know they have seats now because I definitely plan to eat/work there more often. They also have a restroom downstairs that is kept clean.
