    I've been to Mike's Beer Bar many times over the years and always enjoy it. The beer list is extensive with so many unique options to try. I also love that you can order steak on a stone while still getting more of a fun sports bar vibe. The staff has always been nice and attentive. We have a parking pass directly across the street, so parking is never an issue either. This past visit we stopped in after leaving the Pittsburgh Pirates game and the blueberry wheat was good!

    Very decent place to grab a quick drink and something to eat, but customer service wasn't the best , we and my boys came here and no one acknowledged us, or anything we sat for more than 20 minutes before someone formally came to serve us, I was mad but the game was on , And when it was time to get the check they took forever, and it wasn't busy seems like very decent place , not a divo but Deserved better service

    April 29th: Apologies on being so late with this post. Stopped in before the game to grab some brews. Mike's is a great Sports bar with a ton of beers to choose from. They have food, but I chose not to eat because I was going to the Cubs/Pirates game later. Packed house even during the huge storm that day!

    Went on a non-game day. Can't beat the location when visiting the city. Food was fine. I'd pass on the gimmick of steak on a stone. Cold beer is where this place is at!

    I had so much fun. What a Great Night Mike Bar Hosted The Beer & Big Shots Fundraiser for Media Association of Pittsburgh. The Food Was Yummy & The Service was Amazing They Had Guest Bartenders & Everyone Was Having a Great Time

    Great place! Lots of local beers! I had the Greek salad with chicken and it was good. Barstools did not help my back.

    Looking for a spot to pre-game before a Pirates game? I'd say check out Mike's Beer Bar. That's what I did and I wasn't disappointed. What stuck out most was the service. This place was incredibly busy hours before the game, but we never had issues getting drinks. The staff, our server in particular, were really on top of things and did a great job of slinging drinks. Another big plus was that they have a huge beer list. Looking to try something local? They have plenty of local/regional craft beers to choose from. I will say that the food menu did seem a bit underwhelming. I looked at it several times and just couldn't really find anything that clicked with me. But given the circumstances, this is a relatively minor gripe. The fact that we never had to flag down or wait on drinks was what really mattered. I'd totally come back to Mike's to pregame, or just to hang out and work my way through the beer menu.

    Came in on Christmas Day with a part of 6 and only waited around 15 minutes for a table. Server and service were appropriate and cordial. Ambiance is that of a large pub with lots of Steelers memorabilia and great gameday specials. The wings were fantastic and's my favorite thing we purchased. Butter was average but the beer was cold. Giving them 5 stars for being pretty spot on for a busy holiday. Enjoy.

    This was not my first time here but it was my first time for a STEELERS game. The sounds quality and tv viewing was great. They have a great and expansive draft selection. I had the Maryland Crab dip which is delicious but best shared. The service was decent and the place was spacious. It's definitely a place to catch up over beers and food without needing to go elsewhere to meet someone's particular tastes. It's definitely great for summer game days too with an outdoor space!

    Don't be fooled: Pittsburgh is not only a foodie town (who knew?) but also a craft beer paradise. You know the beer choices are golden when you can't really find Coors or Bud anywhere (no shade to coors or bud drinkers). Mike's Beer Bar is basically a warehouse disguised as a beer house. There are literally hundreds on tap and in bottles/cans. We went during a game, so the place wasn't as busy as I'm sure pregame or postgame is (this is literally across the street from PNC). I got a flight of PA based breweries, and it was not disappointing. My husband preferred the Raspberry bourree beer. They also have light menu, Bavarian pretzels and things of that nature. I had a fantastic experience here. Can't wait to return!

    I had time to kill before I could check into my hotel and needed a beer after traveling all morning. This is cool spot across the street from PNC Park. As a beer nerd, this place is heaven. So many local craft beers on draft and tap. Ended up having a cheeseburger too and it was delicious. Nice, fresh, and filling. The fries were perfect too. It was semi busy and I never had an empty glass. The ladies behind the bar crushed it.

The pastrami and cheese is very solid, especially for $10, where you get a fair amount of meat and fries. Of course, most of it is coleslaw, but again for the price, I'm not surprised.

You have to try one of the signature sandwiches (various meats topped with coleslaw and fries and amazing, thick bread). Something to note is that this isn't a creamy coleslaw. In fact, on its own it doesn't have much flavor (mostly just pepper) but it somehow pairs well with the sandwich. The downside to this location is that they aren't exactly the best at table turnover/cleaning tables and the restaurant itself doesn't feel spotless (like some other locations do). But in a way, it kind of adds to the vibe of the place. There are several parking garages and also on street parking nearby. Nice that it has late hours most evenings (since a lot of downtown restaurants seem to close fairly early). Definitely worth a visit.

We stopped in on a Tuesday night and opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't busy. Something important to note is that when we arrived, the music was playing softly in the background. While the prices were decent, the service was not. Our waitress came over to us after our appetizers arrived, I asked for a refill, we made eye contact, she ignored me, and turned around. It took another ten minutes before I was able to get a refill, and she never asked again for the rest of the time we were there. The people sitting beside us arrived later and ordered similar food to us, and they somehow received their food quite some time before ours came out. I am almost certain the bartender forgot to put in our order. Halfway through our meal (which was okay at best), someone turned the music up so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm pretty sure "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" played three times in a 30-minute window. It felt like we were intruding on a private party despite there being maybe seven other people at the bar. Despite clearly being done with our food, it took us another 30 minutes to get our checks. If you're looking for cheap bar food and don't mind repetitive music at varying levels of volume and being ignored by your bartender, give Sidelines a try.

    My first trip to Pittsburgh meant a lot of firsts, including my first meal in the city…read more After a 3:30 AM wake-up call and a flight into Pittsburgh, my 18-year-old travel companion Jackson and I were more than ready for lunch. Normally I travel with his dad so this trip was a little different. Jackson has heard plenty of stories about all the places his father and I have eaten over the years, so this time I handed him the responsibility of picking our first restaurant. Working downtown, we needed something close by and landed at RedBeard's Sports Bar & Grill. The short walk through downtown Pittsburgh was interesting, but the weather was another story. Hot, humid, and muggy. By the time we arrived, the restaurant was busy and only outdoor seating was available. We took a table outside but asked if we could move indoors when something opened up. Our server, Lauren, was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and she made sure we were well taken care of. I let Jackson choose the appetizer and he knocked it out of the park with the mozzarella sticks. Crispy on the outside, loaded with gooey melted cheese on the inside, and paired with a very good marinara sauce. Definitely a strong start to the meal. Jackson and I quickly came to the same conclusion: air conditioning exists for a reason. Patio dining has its place, but a hot and humid Pittsburgh afternoon isn't it. Thankfully, we were able to move inside once a table became available. For my meal, I ordered the Reuben, one of my go-to sandwiches whenever I see it on a menu. RedBeard's version didn't disappoint. Plenty of corned beef, good flavor throughout, and everything worked well together. I requested my fries well-done with no seasoning, and they came out exactly the way I like them. Jackson went with the Inside-Out Grilled Cheese and was thrilled with his choice. Judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say it was a winner. I don't know when I'll find myself back in Pittsburgh, but I enjoyed both the restaurant and the downtown atmosphere. Good food, excellent service from Lauren, and a solid first dining experience in the city. 4 stars from me. I'd happily stop back in the next time work brings me to Pittsburgh.
