Just your typical dive bar. There's a large bar with seating and then a few additional separate tables to sit at too. Inside is dark and lit by the tvs and beer signs. Our bartender immediately greeted us and took our orders, welcoming everyone who walked in the door like they were friends. I ordered a draft Blue Moon and was pleasantly surprised they served it in a chilled glass. It was a nice touch to keep my beer cold and tasting fresh. My orange slice was also juicy and quite big on the side of the glass. My biggest shock came when I asked how much I owed and it was $8.50 for only one beer! Even the bartender was surprised and said they must have raised the price in the system. They only accept cash, and I wasn't expecting that price given all the signs about $2.50/$3 specials, so my friend paid my tab so I didn't have to go to the ATM. Given the laid-back and honestly a bit rundown atmosphere, a beer shouldn't be that expensive. read more

Stopped in to have a fish sandwich and watch some football. Several TV's for sports and I saw 3 good games simultaneously. The fish was very plentiful and the cole slaw was very good. I got a pepperoni role to take home and it was tasty. Most of the folks there seemed to be regulars. It was a pleasant atmosphere except for patron smoking. I didn't see any smoke eaters so it was fairly strong. The staff was friendly and attentive, even when it got very busy. read more

Great bar, great people. The service is excellent, especially bartenders Tiffany and Teenie. Bar food is well...bar food. Hot cheese balls & beer battered fries (I affectionately call crack fries) are my go to. Cold drafts, nightly drink specials. A bit to much country music played for my taste. Only down side for me. read more

It's 2019 and I'm among the millions of people who can't figure out why bars in Pennsylvania still allow smoking. I have money to spend and I enjoy a good meal and drinks with the wife, but I refuse to smell like an ashtray in the process. There are too many other places to take my business that don't give you cancer from second-hand smoke. read more

I'm very dissatisfied with the food that I got there as a takeout order , first the online menu has different prices for the food supreme steak on the online menu was $8.25 , I paid $12.95 and I don't know where they got supreme from it was only steak and cheese , I opted to have my coleslaw on the side. If that was the supreme part the (coleslaw) missed the mark, also 12 wings were listed as $8.50, paid 10.95 fries advertised but not given with order of 12 wings . I understand the crunch that we got going on but say that when some one places an order read more

Stopped in here last week for a drink after work. It was cute & clean. They offer a variety of craft beers, mainly in cans. The bartender was kind of rude in the fact that my husband had to ask 3 times for something before she even acknowledged him. She wasn't busy or talking to anyone, so he wasn't interrupting her. Our first round consisted of a shot of fireball, a corona and a Maui w sprite. It cost $16 which seemed over priced, especially for 1 oz shots. I don't know if we will return, but it's possible. read more

We ended up getting a great deal on Saturday.. 25 wings plus a pitcher of beer for $14. That's an awesome deal considering that its like $10 for 12 wings. We ordered the honey BBQ sauce as well as garlic parm. The honey bbq were fabulous, loved the sauce. The garlic parm wings were okay, but not that great. Every time i've had garlic parm, they were dipped in a garlic sauce & sprinkled with parm cheese. This wasn't really a sauce.. just a wing with chunks of minced garlic on them and no trace of parm cheese. Oh well. The 2nd bartender Krista was a sweetie, but like JD mentioned in the tip section, the older blonde hair lady had a mean, bitter attitude for no reason at all. Its a normal bar and everyone seems like regulars. Smoking is permitted. read more

This place is a nice neighborhood joint. We popped in for some lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Bar was reasonably busy with a handful of regulars at the bar. We grabbed a table next to the bar. The bartender was our server. I'm not sure of we had the bartender that others have said was not pleasant, but ours was nice to us. Menu was decent, with typical bar food. Food was good. I had a turkey club sandwich and fries. Big sandwich and fresh fries. Me likey!!! Honestly, my only complaint would be that they allow smoking. As a former smoker, going into a place that reeks of cigarettes makes me want to gag. People were chain smoking at the bar, so it just made it that much more worse. I would possibly go back, bc the food was yummy. May bring an oxygen mask though. read more

Food was good, I had a chicken quesadilla and my friend had onion rings. I asked if they took credit cards and they said yes, but failed to say there is a service charge to use it, nor was it mentioned on the menu. Not cool in my book. read more

Online menu prices are not up dated! There is also a .50 take out charge as well as $1.29 charge to use a credit card. An online menu price of zucchini shows $8.95. My total without tip came o $13.51. I understand restaurants are struggling but this seems extreme and deceptive. No explanation from bartender! You could always eat in if you can stand the cigarette smoke. Trying to support local but not this place. read more

Barbie is probably one of the worst bartenders I've ever encountered. She has a major stick up her ass I witnessed her verbally complain about a tip another customer gave her. She charged me $11.50 for a double Bacardi and Coke . I pay less than that on the north shore during game time. I will never come back to this bar. I hope they go out of business. With this staff they just might. read more

Walked in and got blasted in the face by the smell of cigarette smoke. Turned around and left. It doesn't matter how good the food is, if everything smells like cigarettes. read more

This place has great bar food. Great place to watch a sporting event. It's a above average neighborhood bar. I recommend it.

In the mood for some fish, I decided to give this place a try. I opened the door and was instantly hit with a WALL of cigarette stink. I don't know why I didn't just walk right back out, but, you know, there, hungry, and the promise of the "best fish" on the sign outside drew me in. I found a table in back, and was quickly approached by the bartender/server. What a nice, pleasant lady! She explained the whole fish situation, a special, a fish-on-a-dish platter, and the fish sandwich, and I opted for the special. Oddly, there's a 50 cent up-charge should you want a bun with the special or the platter, but since I didn't want a bun anyway, I dodged that bullet! I got a beer as well, and it came in a delightfully frosted mug. My food arrived quickly, and consisted of a good-sized piece of fish, a good-sized serving of Mac and cheese, and a teeny plastic container of cole slaw. The fish has a cornmeal breading which was tasty and kept its crunch. The Mac and cheese, clearly handmade, was hot and tasty. The slaw was teeny-tiny shreds of cabbage and was good enough that I wished for more than the tiny cup of it. I finished all of it except for a chunk of fish, which is the toll my dog charges for re-entry into my house. I won't be back because of the cigarette stench ( had to throw all my clothes in the washer and myself in the shower to get rid of it), but the food was good, and the bartender great. read more

This has got to be one of my worst restaurant experiences ever and the food was good. If you don't smoke wear a respirator. This place is smoker friendly so if you don't smoke be prepared to gag. We all ordered the jumbo fish. They have a fish "special". Monster portion of fish, cole slaw, and your choice of fries or mac and cheese for $7.95. It's a Pittsburgh tradition to serve a piece of fish the size of three rivers stadium so I opted to skip the sides. I ordered the fish sandwich only. My co-workers ordered the special. My co-workers were charged $7.95 for the fish with two sides and I was charged $9.50 for just fish because I didn't order the "special." The waitress said mine didn't include sides. Which universe does this make sense? My co-worker found a hair in his food. The waitress explained that no one there has black hair so it couldn't have come from the the kitchen. We must have planted it. No compensation offered. One waitress at lunchtime equals extremely slow service. They declined my Am/Ex card. Am/ex said it was operator error. Are you surprised? I'll eat my own vomit before I'll go back to Mugshots. read more

Inexpensive everything, from food to alcoholic beverages. The wings ARE huge and always cooked perfectly - I prefer the "mixed" sauce, but they have 18 wet flavors and 7 dry rubs to suit anybody's taste. The pepperoni rolls are BEST IN THE CITY, BAR NONE, with or without the delicious marinara sauce!! And for the reviewer who complained about not being able to take home wings on wing night, it says right on the menu NO TAKEOUT. Shame on you for rating them poorly on a policy which is very clearly stated. They also have a DJ on Friday nights that plays a "Name That Tune" game which includes prizes and on Saturday nights, they have Karaoke Roulette, where you can either sing your own song, or put your friends name in for a song of YOUR choice. The bartenders are super attentive and knowledgable in their craft. Most of all, the regulars are as friendly as people get - come on in and make some new friends!! I LOVE this place!! read more

This place is ridiculous! Bitchy bartender and high prices! They couldn't pay me to come back! Rude and bad service!!

Very. Good fish sandwich. And homemade soups. Very. Good. Sevice. Bartenders. Very nice

This place gets 3 stars just because it's within walking distance. It's a smoking bar so you'll smell like an ashtray every time. Id tell you about the food, but the kitchen is never open...however I have been allowed to have pizza delivered there to eat and that's a big plus. The bar staff has changed over a few times the past few years and isn't nearly as good. Slow service & poorly made drinks (also priced like your at a very nice place in the city). Often the bar there is a sticky mess, the toilet over flowing, no drinks being served while the bartender sits on the cooler smoking and taking shots. read more

This is a great place for takeout wings. (I don't know if I would recommend dining in.) I love their sauce! Pretty reasonably priced for what you get. We will definitely be back soon! read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. I ordered a fish sandwich with french fries to go. After I paid the bill and went to leave I noticed that there wer no french fries. The bar tended\er told me they would be more evn though I already paid $12 for a piece of fish and a bun, no extras! The fish was overdone and tasted like a dirty ashtray, likely from the cigarette smoke in the bar. This truly is penance during lent. read more
