We had a girls night out on a Saturday evening. We chose a table and were greeted by our server quickly. The ambience gives sports bar. Very large area for seating as well as darts and other games to play. I chose to order the Buffalo chicken wrap and fries. Really good fries and ranch! The buffalo chicken wrap was also really good. One of our guests ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich. This was amazing as we all had a bite. I want to return to have a full one to myself. We had nachos for an appetizer and were underwhelmed. The chips were soft and didn't hold any toppings. The toppings were also kind of lack luster in my opinion. I wouldn't order them again. The wings were perfect and the hot garlic parm was really good. We also had seltzers and mixed drinks. Overall great place to have a quick bite and drinks. read more

This place has been open for as long as I can recall but we never tried it because it used to be smoker friendly. No more smoking allowed inside, thankfully. The interior is painted black and has many sports stations and Keno games tuned in on the multitude of tv's. There are high top tables, a huge bar and a section of low top tables. A lot of families were gathered to eat and drink which was nice to see. Our waiter was really terrific! He was very patient, attentive and answered our questions about the large menu. We tried some wings (lemon pepper that were ridiculously coated with salt and nearly inedible and the Carolina Gold that were good) and the onion rings that were really good with big slices of onion in crispy batter. The California wrap was tasty but didn't really match what was described on the menu. It was filled with a 1/2 pound of turkey and bacon (who doesn't like bacon, right?) and a disappointing teeny tiny bit of lettuce tomato and avacado. The balance of meat to veggies was a little off. They have a great selection of beer and liquors but no wines listed that we could see. Overall, Shenanigans is a fun place for bar food and sports viewing. read more

Got the Italian wrap here , the service was fast for a Monday night when I went. The place itself was really cool , you can tell it had character compared to other sports bars. But overall I'd get the food again for sure . Only complaint is the mozzarella sticks need a revamp . Reminded me of grade school out the box mozz sticks. 4/5 read more

Shenanigans Bar & Grille - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food and service were great. Just don't like being ripped off for charging a service charge on a debit card. It is ok to charge a debit card but a debit card is considered the same as cash or a check. No need to charge extra to your loyal customers. read more

Very surprised by the atmosphere, staff, and food. If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in.

It was alright. The taco's were decent and one of them really had a nice bit of meat in it. I got the breakfast sandwich and while it tasted fine, I didn't think it was really enough for meal. The sausage (not pictured) was pretty small and bacon + egg isn't really enough for the big dinner meal for the day. I would come back, but it's nothing I would go out of my way for. read more

Our family favorite for wings every Wednesday night! Great to people great food great atmosphere! TVs spread around the room. Pool table and more! read more

This is hands down the best spot for wings north of Pittsburgh. I will not get them anywhere else because every time I do I say "not as good as Shenanigans" read more

I really enjoy going there. I was there for a benefit. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Considering how crowded it was, with both people at the benefit and regular customers, there was not a long wait for anything. All the dishes looked very appetizing. The only drawback is limited parking. But, depending on the time, you might be able to park across the street. I most definitely would go back. If you are in the neighborhood, give it a try! read more

You really get a lot of bang for your buck here! The daily specials are so amazing and the food is genuinely outstanding - cannot beat the vibes! I love the Taco Tuesday Family Pack special for $25; 10 tacos with chips and salsa is a treat for the entire fam. If you're in town, go for happy hour and have a great time with some real good eats! read more

Buffalo Mac n cheese is large enough for several meals. Giant pretzel with beer cheese is amazing. Friendly wait staff. Clean! Nice bar. Darts, pool tables, patio. Whether it's a large party celebration, drinks after work, or dinner and drinks for two...it's a nice atmosphere. read more

Unbeliarable food. I have yet to try some I did not like. They are well worth to trip on Wednesdays for Wing night. I have had the wraps, pizza, salads, ect everything is delicious. read more

We had the 1lb wing special, onion rings, 9oz fish sandwich and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. All was delicious, fish sandwich was to die for and huge! We really enjoyed it! read more

Came for some wings, found out they have a limited menu right now but food was still good and came out super fast!

fantastic fried buffalo chicken sandwich. A+ fries. Good mozz sticks. Delicious "killer hot" wings. Lettuce for the Caesar salad was turning brown which made it look "dingy". First time in this neighborhood so I'm not sure what the competition is like but this place is solid! Pool tables, great patio, nice staff. I'll be back! read more

The new"ish" outside patio area is the best. Sitting around the fire sipping on some drinks is the perfect way to end the work week. read more

Shenanigans Bar & Grille - two cold beverages - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Came here for Tuesday night trivia with a group of friends. We had no problem getting a seat for the 6 of us and just in time for the start of round 1 of questions. Waitress came over right away and asked us for our drink and food order so she didn't distract us from the trivia questions being asked. The garlic ranch wings were pretty good, had a nice crunch to them, and their burger was a good size and flavor. Their desserts are what we really enjoyed! We got the Party Cookie and Smores Flatbread and they did not disappoint. Out of the oven and right to our table so it was still warm, not overly sweet, and portions worth the $7. Fun place to hang out, play pool, watch a game, eat, and compete in trivia! read more

I hadn't been going to this place because I thought it was still a smoking bar, which it isn't! We sat at the bar and the friendly bar tender offered up some good drinks and good tasting food. We'll be back! read more

Food is always great - The service is excellent and the music and TVs are great ! One of the best neighborhood bars

It took 30 minutes for 2 Fish sandwiches at 3 pm on a Saturday... Not impressed with it. I'll stick to Grant Bar, Sunny Jims, and Rochester Inn. read more

Good service. The food was kind of bland but was fast. Parking here on a even Wednesday night is rough. Lovely atmosphere but not very loud. read more

this night we sat at the bar around 6. I enjoyed happy hour prices until 7:06 when my bartender advised me that I could have the next round full price, really for $1.50 more. After I just spent $35 on drinks and food during happy hour. I did not like that at all. Usually it is within the discretion of the bar keeper to offer a final happy hour price, and not at 7:06 when it ended at 7, that never happens does it? The beer on tap smelled sour and I am a frequent craft beer taster. It smelled and tasted like the tap lines were gunky and need to be cleaned properly, and I tried three different ones. They had this bottle of banana beer which was very interesting, It was an English brewer I am gold. We joined our friends when they came in and just watched the hockey game, the poor waitress was very overwhelmed with trying to keep up with 9 of us drinking and eating apps. read more

My husband went to have a quick bite for dinner. We walked in, no hostess so we sat down. The bartender/ waitress was in a full chat session with 2 guys at the bar. Never came over. My husband finally goes up and she says I will be over. Brings a menu 2 waters and says I we will right back to order. Sat there another 15 minutes, she was a no show so we left. Not the 1st time this has happened there, but it's the last. The absolute worst customer service in North Hills. Don't go there to eat, it's really a bar pretending to be a restaurant. read more

Delicious bar food and affordable drinks! Friendly service. TVs everywhere - great place to watch sports.

Have passed this place for years when visiting family in Pittsburgh! Finally had a chance to pick up a meal here to go as was on the way. The menu was decent with a number of expected bar food choices, but also a few other unexpected ones as well ( some healthier choice items). Nice regular bar atmosphere, rather clean, with helpful staff. The bar tender assisted me in a very timely manner (surprised for an early Friday evening) to take my order. The three meals were prepared just as timely. In addition, the food was reasonably good. I was told the fish sandwiches were savory with very fresh buns and my chicken cheese quesadilla perfect (order prepared correctly as I asked, sans some ingredients). Hopefully soon can return for a sit down meal. Thank you staff for working hard, doing your job and making our meal enjoyable. Sorry, I forgot to snap some photos as there was no time. We were very hungry and ate right away. read more

One of my favorite suburb bars in pittsburgh. Great drink choices and specials. Wings are a must get on Wednesdays. Great place to watch hockey. read more

Real good Sports Bar. Good bar food, plenty of TVs. If you need a place for "the game," this is a great option.

Went here on Wing Night with a large group of friends. Wings are great! There are over 50 different flavors to chose from and the wings themselves were very crispy and juicy. I went with the Garlic Thai and the Yukon Gold. For their Wing special on Wednesday nights wings are only .48 cents each but you have to order at least 8 of a favor, so if you want to try two different flavors you have to order at least 16. Not a problem for me and my friends, but 8 seemed like an odd number. Would rather have had the number be 5 or 6 and I could have tried another different flavor or two. They have appetizer and drink specials from 5-7. Parking is a bit tight in their lot, so be wary. Smoke free in the bar/restaurant area, but there are two patios that have cover and heaters. Plenty of TVs around the entire place. Pool tables and a few video machines. Met the owner and he was really nice. I've heard good things about their brisket sandwich, so I look forward to going back to try it. Hope to be back for another Wing night in the future. read more

So I can't say I remember too much about my night here, but I lost my phone at the bar and they were SO flexible and helpful with me getting it back which I think speaks volumes especially when you're not making tips or any kind of profit from dealing with a drunk girl coming to pick up her phone...completely would be my issue not theirs! I lost it on a Friday which was also Christmas weekend so it was awesome that I was pretty much screwed for the weekend. Figured out that it was at Shenanigans and emailed the bar on Saturday (Christmas Eve) night and got a call back from the owner literally 10 minutes after I sent the email. Brad is AWESOME, he went completely out of his way to help me. He even offered to make arrangements for me to get my phone back on Christmas Day (obviously the bar was closed both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so that was pretty amazing of him). Point is...got my phone back without a scratch on it and received excellent customer service from the owner himself and the bartender when I went to pick it up. These are genuinely NICE people who care about their business and their customers! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Sometimes people give this place a bad rap. I mean, it's a neighborhood bar, so it's what I'd expect going in. As with any local establishment, the regulars get preferential treatment. It happens, get over it. Late night and on the weekends it can get crowded. And yes, they do allow smoking which is the main reason one star is deducted. Shenanigans has a full bar and numerous beers on tap. They have great daily food specials. I've tried several menu items and it's always been good and what I would consider above average for bar food. Good burgers, good pizza. Surprisingly good quesadilla. Tons of wing flavors. And you can't really mess up fries when you pile cheese and bacon on top. The service can be slow. But they are usually pretty busy and as long as my waitress or bartender keeps liquid in my glass, I don't mind waiting for food. read more

Ahh, where to start. Shenanigans is your friendly neighborhood bar... but with a trillion different kinds of beer. Okay, maybe not a trillion, but enough to line an entire side of the bar (look up!). All the mass market stuff is available, plus some local-ish stuff from Ohio (Thirsty Dog, I think?). Prices are good (especially by California standards) and bartenders are attentive. Darts are available in the back on the left. Crowd hanging around outside gets a bit rowdy after last call... the sound of bottles breaking in the parking lot does not inspire confidence. Fun all the same, though. read more

I don't rewrite reviews. I try a lot of places once due to how much I travel, and I am really adamant that you have one chance to impress me. My first experience here a few months ago was lackluster, and I wrote it off. Brad, I'm assuming the owner or GM, contacted me to come back and give them a 2nd chance. He was very professional, and I couldn't help but give a local bar another try. So my friend from my first trip and I returned and were pleasantly surprised. Our server, Danielle, was sweet and a great server. She was super outgoing and friendly, and she was that way with all of her tables. She was running around to keep up, but she did a great job. Kudos to her. We started out with two dirty girls scout shots ($5/shot). The alcohol content was generous, and it makes me really happy when bartenders make the shot green. Danielle also came over to confirm the bartender could make it, which was cool. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip ($7.50) and Bavarian Pretzel Hangover Sandwich ($7.25). The Buffalo Chicken Dip was delicious and served with chips and pita. The pita was an awesome idea, and it went really well with the dip. The portion on the buffalo chicken dip was pretty small. I would definitely order it during Happy Hour when it's half price, but there are larger portions on other appetizers. I just love eating, though. The Bavarian Pretzel Sandwich was egg, cheese, and bacon on a pretzel bun. At $7.25, I'd come back for this. The egg to cheese to bacon ration was great, and pretzel buns are always fun! The sandwich was pretty big too. We split it, and had I eaten the whole thing myself I would have been full. The sandwich options here were cool, and I'm looking forward to trying some more. Shenanigans has different nightly specials from BOGO pizza to cheap burgers and $.40 wing nights. There were cheap beers different nights and other specials as well depending on the day of the week. They have Happy Hour from 3-7 on weeknights which includes 1/2 price appetizers and something with Absolute for $3. I think Happy Hour here is going to need to happen soon in my life. There are also themed nights like trivia and I think karaoke. Shenanigans is price wise comparable to Applebee's, but with better quality and locally owned. Next time you are looking for a late night snack and drink, come here. Things I Still Don't Love: -They allow smoking. While I haven't been over powered by smoke here yet, you do smell like an ash tray on the way out. I'm voting Shenanigans leads Pittsburgh to banning smoking in bars. Let people smoke outside. -The parking lot is scary. I'm not sure they can fix it, but people here park crazyyyy. There aren't a lot of spots, and the lot is TIGHT. If you can carpool with your group, do it. Overall, I'm really glad Brad got in touch with me, and I am looking forward to returning to Shenanigans when I am in Pittsburgh. I hope they continue to hire great servers, like Danielle, who provide great customer service and make a great local bar. read more

Shenanigans is a decent local watering hole. Nothing too spectacular, nothing to complain about either. The food menu here is decent and the drinks are reasonably priced. There are big screen TV's so you can catch the game here and two pool tables. It gets a little busy here so sometimes you might be better off heading to the bar to get drinks instead of waiting for the waitresses to come around. You can smoke inside here so dont wear your nice clothes! read more

Nice bar and has good food, but the service is terrible. Waited 25 minutes to order and another 35 minutes just for our check. Server walked by us many of times ignoring that we were even here and avoiding making any eye contact with us. I've been in the service/ restaurant business for 4 years and I've never seen or had such terrible service. This place needs new waiters and then maybe it will deserve the 5 star rating, but the service ruined the experience for me. read more

I've been going to this place for about 2 years. Staff is normally nice and food is tasty. Last night was a very different experience. My family and I walked in and sat in the area that sits right below the high top tables. We sat for about 15 minutes. Watched the waitress walk pass us more than a few times and did not acknowledge us. A couple came in after us and sat across the room but in the same section and she waited on them immediately. She then walked right passed us again and did not acknowledge us. So when she went to walk by again I asked her nicely, "excuse me is someone going to wait on us?" She said sorry I got busy what would you like to drink. The way she responded you could tell she was irritated. She brought over our water and put menu's to the side and said wings are a dollar and she walked away. We just left!!! That was the poorest customer service I have ever received anywhere! I will not return! read more

This place has changed significantly in recent months! It used to be a smoke-filled biker bar but has become a nice smoke-free bar/restaurant with pretty good food. The brisket sandwich is really good and so are the wings. The fries are crisp and tasty as well. There are lots of TVs for watching sports and quite a few beer options. Outside has a gas fire pit and cornhole games. I really hope people start frequenting the new Shenanigans so the owner doesn't decide to turn it back to the old smoke-filled bar. It would be a shame to see this little gem disappear. read more

Best fish sandwich in the North Hills. Even held up after the car ride home. Will definitely be back. A must try

Definitely a neighborhood restaurant/bar. It has more of a bar vibe for sure. They have pool tables, darts, and a couple of games. There are plenty of beers on tap as well as Tito's mules and moonshine on tap. First time here and I was happy to hear it was happy hour. Happy hour is 5-7 and they have daily specials as well. We ordered wings and a wrap. The wings were a bit greasy but the flavor was good. The wrap was okay. The inside of the wrap was great but the outside wrap itself was not and definitely ruined the whole thing. The fries are amazing. They were hot and crispy and very well seasoned. It's by my house with a decent bar vibe so I'm sure I'll be back for drinks. They also have a trivia night. I'll have to try different menu items next time. The staff was extremely friendly and service was great. read more

I went here with friends and waited for 15 minutes and didn't see one waiter or waitress. Had to go up three times and mention that we were here and they said we'd be there shortly. Nope. Nothing. So I left. read more

Unless you are getting pizza, cheese fries or mozzarella sticks, the food here is really awful. We come here to play darts and order pizza. For that, it is great. It is also a popular spot for Penguins games, which are probably the only times I've ever seen it actually busy. They have a fun trivia night on Tuesdays also which we've enjoyed on several occasions. read more
