I stopped in on a Sunday night. I appreciate that their kitchen is open much later than any other restaurant in the neighborhood. I was hungry, but I was also anxious to get home after a long day. I walked in and ordered a craft draft beer and placed an order for a burger to go. Sidelines has a great selection of craft drafts, so I give that part of their pub 5 stars! Their fresh cut fries are also delicious, and deserve a 5-star review! That said, the burger was big but just okay in flavor. What bothered me most is that when I looked at my bill, they tacked on an extra $1 for a "to go" order. $1 isn't going to make or break someone, and I understand an extra charge if someone just orders food to go. In my case, I was a sit-down customer with the beer while I was waiting for a burger and fries in a bag. I guess if I had ordered on a plate, I could have taken a few bites at my seat and then asked for a to go container for my leftovers? I just felt as though I was not appreciated as a customer. They can have the $1, but I most likely will avoid this place going forward. I just don't get the rationale behind charging a customer extra money even if they order a pricey adult beverage enjoyed at a table or bar. read more

Very poor experience. Be prepared with patience to ask for everything 4 times. Drinks, food, utensils, and then be told that your waitstaff will be back - they have to take order at 2 other tables before they'll get a spoon for your kid's ice cream dessert. Whoever is managing this place needs to retrain the very young waitstaff. They're very inattentive and forgetful. The food isn't good enough to tolerate the poor service. Sewickley has a lot of amazing places - go elsewhere. read more

Stopped in for $.75 wing night with some friends. Series good. We tried a few different wing types and really enjoyed the variety. All were good. read more

Okay place to have a meal. Hubby's pizza was fine; at 12 inches, it was too big for him to finish, so he took the leftovers home. I got the caprese chicken (no bun) and sweet potato fries. The fries came out piping hot, but the chicken was room temperature. The lower bar level could be wheelchair accessible; the upper dining area is not. Got mixed vibes from the staff. Did appreciate having multiple screens to watch allll the sports. read more

Sidelines Beer House - Caprese chicken without the bun + sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

It is Saturday- so College Football is all over EVERY BIG SCREEN, I see 13 total!! Nice My second round of drinks came without even asking, it was just a little busy so I wouldn't hold that against anyone. I feel like I always get good service when I come here and they always have whatever everyone wants to watch on the big screen. They also have 2 digital games. I have had the food and everything I have had from the hamburger to the chicken tenders and fries have always been good or better than your average bar food. All reasonably priced. It's pretty loud in here, but that's why you come here... to watch games and hang out with your friends,order bar food and get some drinks. I recommend coming here to watch a game and do all of that . Very casual and open late. Good music too read more

Eyyy Yinz guyz! See dem wingz! Eat dem wingz! Sidelinez is back and it's on fire! Not literally, metaphysically. Anyone who doesn't enjoy their meal at Sidelinez is either an inexperienced orderer or a stick in the mud who enjoys being a pain in the rear. These wings are elite folks. If you know the right sauce combinations you will unlock the key to happiness. I'll admit, I went dahn here about a month ago hoping to get my wing fix and they were closed due to the kitchen fire which sucked but nah they are back! Yuengers on tap, a deep beer rotation, top notch wingz and just dahn to earth people. If you've been killing yourself in the game, take a step back and enjoy sidelinez oh btw, don't forget to get zucchini fries, sometimes they sell out but if they still have them they are crushable read more

The wings live up to their reputation of being some of the best in the city, but the service and ambiance of this place will keep me from ever coming back. I'll start with the fact they were clearly understaffed on a Friday night, and it took us 15 minutes to have a table cleaned off despite many available. When we finally did, the bartender came over to take our drinks and she didn't seem to be having a great night. After our drinks came we had a waitress who was yawning through our entire order and after it was placed, we literally couldn't get her to come back to our table. The restaurant itself was a bit in disarray and guests were throwing chairs around smacking off the tile and the noise was just intolerable. But, the wings were good, and I'd consider takeout if I'm ever in the area. read more

Food is good but Slowest service in the universe. Ordered a sandwich and wings. Waited over 40 mins and it wasn't even busy.

The comedian? My toddler is funnier. Sad. Lost my appetite. Won't be back. At all. Needs better content instead of ripping into the customers. read more

I have not eaten in this establishment. But I have ordered takeout many times. The food is very good and the wings are very flavorful at a great price. Great football spot or to get takeout for the game. read more

The hostess/waitress directed us to pick a table while she sat at the bar. Great first impression. It is obvious by the huge selection of beers that food isn't the focus of the business. Our mistake. We selected this establishment because it was open on Mondays in Sewickley. We started with the cheese quesadilla. It was fried. Odd. The ranch dressing was very good. The Basket of Boneless chicken with dry seasoning was spicy enough that a seasoned wing eater was scraping off the seasoning. I ordered the Shrimp Poor Boy. I was pleasantly surprised to see the large shrimp. The breading was very spicy. Had it been cooked with the wings? The sandwich was large enough to serve 2 people. The majority of fries were small leftover pieces. When we left, there were 3 other tables filled with 4 people at the bar. Only one table was ordering food. The other groups were ordering beer. When I received the check. I actually laughed out loud. Suggested tipping was between 43% and 60%. I chose Other. So if you like beer, this is a place for you. If you like food, pass on this establishment. read more

If your air conditioning is broke you should tell someone.... Or at least open the windows ‍ The food was good, the service was good, but the ambiance was terrible. I didn't know if I was in a sauna or a bar. And the fact that the server yelled at the customer for opening the window was kind of off putting. I'll be back when the windows are open or the air conditioning is fixed. I don't like to sweat while I eat and drink. read more

Still the best wings and you must get a drink from Tiffany. She can make you whatever you want and is always quick with service. A lot of new TVs so great space for watching sports. read more

So my wife and I stopped by Sidelines on a Saturday night around 7. I was concerned about having to wait but was able to get a table in the bar area. We sat down but waited about five minutes or so before the bartender came over. I ordered a Miller Lite draft ($4.50) and my wife had a water. I ordered a dozen spicy garlic wings and fries. My wife ordered a chicken special. It took at least 20 to 25 minutes for our order to come out. The wings were a fairly good size. They had a pretty good kick to them but I didn't notice the garlic part. The fresh cut fries were outstanding with the exception I got mostly little bits. I enjoyed my visit but there is definitely room for improvement. read more

Ordered pizza and dozen wings. 45 mins later no food of any kind as people all around received their food. Asked about our food and was told its done now. Told them to box pizza and we would eat the wings. Wings served ice cold. No apologies of any kind. Asked for wings to be taken off and check because now 1 hour into visit with zero food. Was forced to wait 10 more minutes for check. Employees borderline rude and 100% not interested. 2nd poor experience. Never again. read more

Bar is nice but Wow. The meanest most unfriendly bartender I have ever seen. Seems like it's a chore for her to wait on you.

Sidelines is in desperate need of some TLC from the owners. What was once a wonderful place for wings, burgers, and beer in Sewickley is now just consistently inconsistent. Wings are rarely hot and the flavors are never the same. The kitchen is also almost comically slow. Sewickley has been really good to Sidelines over the years. I think it's time that Sidelines returns the favor. read more

They recently made updates and I'm not a huge fan. The boneless wings are the same price and 1/3 of the size, got rid of a ton of wing flavors, removed lemon pepper fries, but the food is still just as good, just less variety. read more

This is a trendy, casual saloon in the heart of Sewickley village. Its popularity is evidenced by its open hours, 11:30 am to midnight, seven days a week. It is a place to see and be seen, from young to old, families to singles, plebeian to patrician. Decor is worn and spartan, dark earth colors, 1920s atmosphere with plenty of tv screens for sports. The food is mediocre at best. We three adults, dining on a late Sunday afternoon, ordered a hamburger, pulled pork sandwich and a turkey club. The burger was bland. The pulled pork sandwich was okay, but we later learned that the requested bbq sauce was an additional seventy five cents. (It should have been included, in our opinion). The club was a seven inch cube with three layers of bread, hard as a rock, impossible to eat without silverware. It was tasty, in a hot grilled kind of way. The menu is extensive, too much so. A lot of choices, for all tastes. Our feeling is that a few specialty items, prepared well, would benefit the diners here. This is a great place for a few beers, but not so much for the food. There is a discount for paying cash. Bring your CPA along to explain how it's calculated. We couldn't figure it out. Our waiter gave a vague explanation then walked away. Despite all, we enjoyed ourselves, due mainly to the cheerful atmosphere. But we won't be coming back for the food. A beer? Maybe. read more

Great place to grab a drink. Kid friendly as well. We went for a quick lunch without two kids and felt really comfortable not bothering anyone. Unfortunately the food was not great. The fries are reeeeallly good but it kind of ended there. The chicken (tenders and fried chicken sandwich) was really dry and bland. It was almost like the seasoning was left out of the batter. Super bummed. My husband ordered a sandwich which was wrapped in aluminum foil even though we were staying to eat. Unfortunately the entire sandwich got stuck to the foil and made it pretty hard to eat. He was worried about eating foil with every bite. Overall, a place I would go drink, and eat the fries again! read more

2/6/25, I decided to stop in and try some food from Sidelines Beer House in Sewickley after my day of work. When I walked in, I asked the folks sitting near an empty seat at the bar if it was available, which it was, and I sat down. The bar was busy, but they had 2 people working. I sat there for about 5-10 minutes patiently. When I saw the bartender stop and look around, I waved my hand and asked for a menu. I ordered a burger to go and a beer while I waited. When she brought over my drink, I thanked her and let her know she could close me out whenever she was ready since that was all I'd be getting. Nothing special or out of the ordinary about our interactions, typical bar experience aside from her visible bad mood because it was busy; but I can empathize with that. She brought me the check back to sign, and I thanked her again. As soon as I looked at the check, I saw she put my customer seat name as "C Dumb Bi*ch. With Braids". I was really shocked by that and started to shake nervously because I HATE confrontation. There was 100% absolutely nothing to have that be what she put in for my seat name. That was absolutely not called for. I did NOT want to interact with this person (Kari A) again, so I waited until my food came out and showed the food runner the slip and asked for a manager. She said she didn't know if one was there?? OK. So I told the other bartender. She just said sorry a few times and to get home safe, dismissing me. I was so uncomfortable. It ruined what was supposed to be a nice wind down from a very long day of deliveries in the rain. Needless to say, 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Sidelines is a nice low maintenance (paper plates) place to stop in for beers and pub style apps and mains. They place is split into a bar area and a table seating area with a good amount of space that can also accommodate a larger group. The service is pretty good and the food comes out in fairly good time as well. They have a ton of beers which are available on draft or bottle/can. Overall we had a great experience but I must say that the zucchini fries were saturated in garlic butter which was a bit much. That won't keep me from coming back so I look forward to future visits. Great place to stop with friends and family. They also have plenty of tvs to keep up with whatever game might be on which is a plus. Enjoy! read more

We were visiting the area and found this place near our Airbnb. I have to say, I ordered the Caprese Chicken Sandwich and it was the most delicious thing I have had in a while. I am a huge fan of pesto and a balsamic reduction and they hit perfectly in this sandwich. I couldn't even remember to take a picture for my review because it was so good! I highly recommend! read more

Went over for lunch today. Was only 7 people in the place and it took 45 minutes to get our food. Got steak hoagie and fries. Hoagie was good after finally getting it but fries were burnt to a dark brown. Waitress saw I didn't eat them and didn't even ask if something was wrong. Can see why not too many people come here for lunch read more

Sidelines is a great all-American bar with a nice selection of craft beer and good bar food. I absolutely love their boneless wings and wing sauces. Especially when they are on sale for happy hour! read more

Food is ok. Burgers and fries arent bad Beer selection is mediocre. It used to be much better but I think the owners threw in the towel on this location Bar tenders as usual are mediocre. Spend their time talking to each other and their one or two friends. Ignore everyone else. This too has really deteriorated over the years. read more

Down home bar / grill. Great place to hang out for a game, huge beer and wing assortment. Food is pretty decent, staff is fantastic! read more

I am giving Sidelines a 4 solely because they have a killer happy hour during the week (Mondays: 5-7 & Tuesdays-Fridays: 4-7). During happy hour, all starters are half off, drafts under 7% are largely discounted, well liquor is $3, and premium liquor is $4. I'm sure there are other specials I am missing in addition to the ones I listed. Every starter I've had has been delicious. The boneless wings are my go-to, but I also love the pretzel sticks, sweet potato fries, and onion rings! My boyfriend and I love to go during happy hour and share a few apps while having a few alcoholic beverages! The negative: The service on the dining side is horrible. We've had the same server twice in a row that could possibly be the most miserable person I've ever encountered. When I asked her questions, she gave me clipped, incorrect responses and did not even seem to care! She was very unprofessional and honestly just ruined the mood of eating out at a restaurant. We now only eat on the bar side of the restaurant. Everyone has been very friendly and kind on the bar side! We absolutely love their happy hour and plan to make it a regular in our happy hour rotation list. read more

Food is always great here I hate that it closes so early! I work at a restaurant and k don't get off until midnight and always want sidelines since it's near my house! Burgers are great wings are great and Cajun shrimp is great too! read more

We came in tonight after our daughter's dance recital. Big mistake. The bartender (and honestly-get rid of her. She is awful) was "helping" our server with drink orders and was unpleasant and rude the entire time. Our waitress couldn't be bothered to make eye contact with anyone and was extremely put out when she was asked to do her job. We won't be back. It's basic bar food that you can get anywhere and get much better service elsewhere too. read more

Sidelines feels like a nice dive bar. They have an incredible selection of beer (mostly in bottles/cans), and some tasty seasonal cocktails. They are often out of certain drink items, which isn't the end of the world. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I've ordered an old fashioned from them before and was given an old fashioned, but instead of bitters the bartender put in vermouth. Besides that, Sidelines has been awesome, and they hands down have the BEST pickle chips in the area. read more

Most nights the service is ambivalent but Mondays should be skipped altogether. The pair of high schoolers behind the bar seem more concerned with playing with each other than service. The staff vaping weed out front is charming as well. Caliente or the Hotel are hands down the better choice than the slimiest dive in Sewickley. How they stay in business is a mystery. read more

Just mediocre. This was my first visit here but I don't think I'll be back. Food was just ok; both of our sandwiches were too greasy. Most of the fries were congealed into each other. The buffalo cauliflower starter was a neat concept, but poorly executed. There was far too much sauce. Also I know this is Sewickley, but I felt the food was overpriced for the quality. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

This is a really nice bar in the heart of Sewickley. I came for lunch and sat at the bar. It was pretty quiet but there were a few other customers on a Monday. They have a really good selection of beers on tap. I got a coffee espresso porter and a Belgian style IPA. The prices are good too. The pint of he Porter was $7.50 and 10 oz of the UPA was $3.50. The Turkey avocado wrap was tasty, and the fries that it came with tasted like they were fresh cut instead of frozen. Service was friendly. They have several screens around. In evenings when there are games it looks like it would be a good place to have a drink and watch a game. This place is highly recommended for those interested in good craft beers if you're in the Sewickley area. read more

Only reason I give it a three star is because the food is good, especially their chicken wings, and they usually have a good draft beer list. Tonight was a disappointment. They were out of bells two hearted and they their IPAs on their beer list. We had to order 4, yes FOUR, times to get our beer order correct. I guess the person was new but to come back to the table FOUR times to get our beer order right for 6 people was ridiculous. We would have left then if we weren't somewhat excited for trivia night. I usually look forward to this pub but the lack of average service is disappointing. The bar area is better but the wait for food is ridiculous, almost like they're "forcing" you to order more drinks while you wait. Besides their tasty wings, I've decided to spend my money elsewhere. read more
