The Hop House

You will not find better wings in Pittsburgh. It's a well kept secret. The place is chill AF, pool table, darts, big screens and a welcoming atmosphere. It is easily a favorite neighborhood bar. But seriously - I have been looking for the wings I had in high school for decades and I finally found the same taste here at Hop. Sloppy or dry, well done or soft, ranch or BC... You only think you've had wings until you've had Hop House wings.

We visited The Hop House on a Sunday night. They weren't very busy so we sat at the bar. The other patrons seemed to all be regulars. The menu is limited- mostly fried bar food, but what we had was good. The wings were really good. The temperature was hot, the texture was crispy on the outside and the flavors were tasty. The super hot definitely has some heat. The bartender was the only server. She was friendly and stayed on top of everything. The only downside to me is that they allowed smoking in the bar. Definitely a place we'll return to.

Hop House has a wonderful atmosphere. With a bountiful selection of ice cold beer. Bartender Casey makes a mean drink. Chef Jason’s wings are the best in town I think. I’d give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Definitely my favorite bar in the neighborhood. Bartender Melissa is a peach 🍑. Always has a drink within arm’s reach.

Got the chicken and steak salad. Wings, pizza slices and a fried chicken sandwhich. Everything was good! Smaller menu. Smoking on one side of bar and the other is the restaurant part and non smoking. There is a chalk board with drink specials. There seems to be a drink/menu special every day. For example today (saturday) was $0.40 chicken wings and $2 Miller lite and $2 pizza slices. Only suggestion I would make, please bring back the mac and cheese and just charge a little bit more to add a topping other than cheese and pepperoni to the pizza. Other than that the wings were big and pizza was good. Not sure if it's a homemade sauce but try it!

we have always loved this place- great happy hour pricing and food is great! sadly I hear it's under new ownership and the menu will be changing. I really hope they don't change it completely- their specialty mac and cheese dishes can't be found elsewhere, their wood fire oven pizzas are unique and wing sauce options are awesome
