Sat down to order drinks with our slice of pizza from next door and they refused to serve us because we got a slice of pizza. Who does that?! Bad business.... will never go here again! read more

Done here! This place sucks. This is the third time I've had to wait over 40 minutes for a damn sandwich and this time they prepared it like shit. Management here is terrible and I have no idea how they stay in business.. read more

Always a good time here. Great food, lots of big tvs and of course delicious adult beverages.

After tromping the grounds of Downtown Pittsburgh (including Market Square, Point State Park featuring Fort Pitt, and a search for the Riverboat Tour) on a remarkably humid Tuesday morning, we looked along Penn Avenue for something to eat. After passing an endless array of fast food joints and businessman-only haunts, we came across Redbeard's, which seemed to target us a bit better. Two words on the menu indicated to me we had made the right decision: Italian Quesadilla, which was as good and interesting as it sounds. Wife had a hamburger and fries, and combined with our drinks, found that we really didn't need to eat for the rest of the day, yet at the same time the meal didn't exhaust us. read more

The garlic parmesan wings were excellent, as were the perogies. The service was great. We just about choked when we saw the bill and had to pay $10 for a 6 oz. Pumpkin ale. There were only 4 perogies for $8.50, had expected more. The manager apologized and promised to let other patrons know the price of the ale. He said it had been $12 , but they got too many complaints. Go figure. read more

Stopped here before a show at the Byham. Service was fast, and food was solid. No complaints. We got appetizers and drinks. Great place to stop in the cultural district! read more

A fun place to go downtown after work or games, etc. A little overpriced, but you expect that in this area (downtown). A good number of TVs for watching games and a casual atmosphere. I would recommend this if you're looking for a good place to go to after work. Happy hour deals aren't the best, but again it's downtown. All you can eat wings on Wednesdays! That's always a plus. read more

Ryan H. Was a great server. The large steak fries are awesome and they make a great burger cooked to perfection. I didn't love the red beard sauce and that is because I don't like mustard if you love mustard go for it. I would order without the sauce next time. Why Ryan was so great we came in after the steelers game place was packed. He said it would be better to get our whole order at once before the crowd grew and it did. Saved us a ton of time. Had a great experience. read more

I will start that I wanted to give 0 stars, but the food was good, so 2 stars is what I'll settle on. It's a Friday evening during march madness, bar is practically empty with about 2 tables full and people sitting on one side of the bar. We go to the bar, grab the 4 chairs open at one end of the bar and the pens game is starting. I ask the bartender to put the pens game on one of the 3 televisions on our side of the bar which I am told "the tvs are staying the way they are. It's march madness". 4 seats open at the other side of the bar and we have to move so I can watch the pens game. Miraculously the pens game is now put on a tv from the side we had to move from. I will not be returning to this place!! read more

Heather the bar tender is fantastic. She was super nice and helpful. The food was great. The atmosphere was good and plenty of tv's to watch the game. Definitely a place to stop at when in town. read more

HORRID SERVICE I stopped in to catch March Madness on the three big screens. It's very near my home, so for sports, its perfect. I'd asked the server what kind of cognacs they offer, and she didn't know right off hand. That's no problem, but she left to find out and didn't come back for 10 minutes. When she did, she actually made two martinis in front of me before answering my question or taking my order. I just had a house char and left. I normally would've just left but the game was very close. And after all of this, the server actually had the criminal audacity to add a tip to the bill. (I left cash). So for being ignored, overlooked, disappointed, then robbed, this is the perfect spot! read more

Stopped for a sandwich before a Pirate game. Very disappointed. After a 65 minute wait for our food, at a moderately full restaurant; I had to inform our waitress that we had to leave. Was direct, but not rude or loud. She apologized, and did not know why it was taking so long. Paid for our soft drinks, and the manager explained our food would be arriving shortly. He never apologized, and walked away. Waitress apologized again, as she made change, and thanked me for not yelling. read more

Megan is the best waitress ever!! The foid was good, the beers were a bit pricey but it IS downtown. There was a cool trivia thing going on but unfortunately we had to leave. All around decent but megan really made it great!! Give that girl a bonus and a raise read more

it's a cozy sports bar. Went for late lunch not to busy but was starting to fill up when people were getting off work. Food was good. I had turkey bacon wrap and sweet potato waffle fries. The waffle fries are good! Full bar and had a decent drink special.. Although looked like too many wait staff some were just standing around talking. Our waitress was kinda rough not amazing service but overall good place. read more

Wow crowed! Friday at 5 it is busy! Have a few good beers on tap. The service is slow, but like I said, it is crowed for happy hour! I met a group there and we did get a table. I will definitely give it another try for happy hour. I would say the only part part is parking...It is down town. read more

Color me impressed. After reserving a table of 10 for a pre-show birthday dinner I started to wonder what had gotten into me. I was going to pick the meatball joint, but "no reservations" scared me away. I didn't really want to go upscale, so Redbeard's seemed to be a good choice. I started with several $4 Captain and Diet Cokes, so my evening was grrrreat. But I also enjoyed our spring roll appetizer and my grilled chicken breast w/jalapeno & cheese wing sauce. The sweet potato waffle fries rounded out a delightful bar meal and our service was overall good. Keep Redbeard's in mind for a group meal. The upstairs is spacious and has a good vibe. AND they take reservations, which is a welcome change from the many downtown establishments which do not. What's up with that, btw? read more

The good was very good but the services was slow, I know that they were busy, i will have to say the wings special was a great deal.

This place is a hidden gem!! Bartender was nice and attentive. Food was great, and beer selection is pretty good. I would definitely go back next time we are in Pittsburgh!!! read more

Went to redbeards for dinner and drinks before a concert at the Benedum Center. Overall pretty unsatisfied with the food. We had pierogis, steak fries, and wings. If you are looking for ok bar food this place will suffice. Decent beer prices as well. read more

I love this place!! Great food, great selection of brews, and the most awesome staff. I can't wait to come back to Pittsburg so I can hang out here again!! Thank you Becky for being a great bartender!! read more

I am staying at the Marriott property down the street from this restaurant. I enjoy when you can find a decent meal within walking distance of where I am staying. Tonight the Patriots are playing so I wanted a venue that would offer a healthy fare and televisions to watch the game. Red Beards offers this! I started with the chips, salsa and queso appetizer. The chips had the right amount of salt. The queso was a unique flavor and I really enjoyed it! The salsa was more like a pico and was very fresh. I ordered the beef taco salad and was extremely pleased. The dressing was spicy on the tongue but flavorful. The presentation was very colorful and appealing.I picked off the jalapeños because I am not able to stomach those but they made it look really pretty. I ordered a cocktail from the menu which has pineapple juice and rum. It made me feel like I was in the Caribbean as I watched the patriots play. The person next to me ordered the French onion soup who said it was good. There were plenty of onions and broth. They also ordered the steak hoagie and they devoured it! It was full of meat but not a messy sandwich. Megan W. was my waitress and she was timely, efficient and very sweet. She met every request without hesitation or delay. The establishment is clean and comfortable. If I return to Pittsburgh I will definitely come back here! I recommend this place! read more

See all

Redbeard's was definitely a great place to watch some March Madness basketball on big screen TVs and have good food at the same time. I had the tee time burger, which had a beef patty excellently paired with a fried egg. The waffle sweet potato fries were pretty tasty, and the server also was very attentive towards me. Overall, the experience was good, but there wasn't a uniquely different vibe that set this sports bar apart from many other good sports bars. read more

Let me start off by saying Ryan and Dylan (my two bartenders) are probably the nicest guys ever. They were super nice and friendly. So easy to talk to. I felt like I've know them forever. They made me laugh and were super attentive. This bar is so nice to go to to just have a relaxing conversation. I will come to this place time and time again. If I could give it more stars I would. read more

We checked out redbeard's after a show and had a blast! Chris was our bartender and he was super attentive and made us feel welcome... even as the bar started to clear out he didn't rush us to leave. We had great conversation and great drinks :) we would go back again anytime! read more

Antoinette is the best hostess/waitress going. Great bar and great service from your you Alaskan chapter of Steeler Nation!

Was here to eat on 10/4 before a show at Heinz hall. I've heard good things about this place but have never stopped here before so tonight was the night to stop in and check it out and I'm glad I did. The selection of food is the typical pub style food as you would expect from a bar but their selections were great I thought. Overall this place is great and will be stopping in again when I'm in downtown for a bite to eat. Great service and all the waiters and waitresses seemed to be on top of their game. I would recommend to anyone wanting to check this place out. read more

Pretty standard bar food. Clean atmosphere. Great spot for after work happy hour. The bartenders are really friendly. It's my friends meeting spot for our after work hangouts. read more

We didn't know what to expect based on the exterior of the bar. It looked a little shady from the outside, but once we stepped inside we were greeted with a very nice interior and a decent sized bar. The bartender was extremely friendly and the food (a burger and the cheese sticks) was great! read more

Came here from out of town great food great drinks and even better staff. Ashley was great and never let our drinks run low!

Great local bar .. Madison is THE best waitress ever!!!! She made our experience at redbeards!!!! Quick with drinks, and had a fantastic sense of humor!! read more

Food is ok.. Nothing special bar food. But the service is honestly shitty.... We waited 10 minutes to be greeted my a server, who was standing around the bar talking. It was not busy. This was our 3rd visit. And each time the service was terrible. We keep trying this place and get disappointed each time. :( prob won't be back again after this time. read more

I stopped into Redbeards for a few beers before dinner recently. I was overwhelmed with how great this place is! They had excellent beer specials and extremely classy decor. I'd like to give a special shout out to Kourtney, Who took care of everything I needed. Everything. They have quite a few TVs, I think this place would be great to watch games at on the weekends. Overall: great place to have a few! read more

Went here before a show, great happy hour! Their soft pretzel sticks are reminiscent of the Rum Runners pretzels I used to love so dear. I will be back before any and all Pirates games for these delicious sticks of heaven. They were training a new waiter the night I was in and the service was incredible! read more

Headed to "The Burg" for a Pirates game and city tour. Stayed at the Renaissance Downtown and Redbeards is just down the block. Place is a two story clean well run city vibe bar. The beer is cold, solid tavern food and plenty of TV sports....Standing out food wise are the pierogies & the burgers. The "cheese logs" are just that, logs, be prepared to share...But the true stand out was the staff, friendly, professional and fun....The owner did a fine job hiring his staff...Did hit the Shiloh St place much more a tavern feel.... The Jersey Boys will be back...! read more

Good simple bar. Decent food, service was fine. Nothing to knock your socks off but an enjoyable experience and I would definitely go back.

Excellent wings. Just what I was looking for. Buffalo hot sauce is right on the money. Blue cheese was great, wings skins were crispy. Great place to grab a beer, watch a game and feast on wings. read more

Server Brian was really attentive and nice. Good happy hour specials

Madison was beyond great. She delivered grand service and offered great menu advice. I love her positive attitude, which was definitely hard to come by in past Redbeards experiences. Cheers! read more

Went to this establishment a couple of weeks ago. Ordered the boneless wings which were $21.99. Not bad for 20 of them. However about 8-9 were very small. Close to the size of a quarter. Spoke to manager and mentioned that almost half of the order was the size on the plate. Her response was that she too had small chicken wings earlier that day. She casually said she would see what she could do. Never saw her again and nothing was done. Very disappointing customer relations. Could have changed my experience, but instead the manager made it worse. Waiter was great. Manger was horrible and should get some training possibly in conflict resolution. read more

Poor service and even worse management. We had a party of four, arrived hours before our show started, when it was not yet crowded. Food came out cold and manager argued with our version of timing. I do not recommend. read more
