Pittsburgh is a sports town and there’s no shortage of sports bars in town. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to the best sports bars in Pittsburgh for your to hit up next game day! What’s better than cheering on the home team with a cold one in hand, some grub on the table, and fellow yinzers by your side? Not much… other than a ‘W’ at the end of the game!
There’s only one place to be on game day: the NORTH SHORE! Shorty’s is always serving up game day specials, drinks, tacos, and good vibes. Hang outside by the firepits or play some arcade games. Plus be sure to visit their new location in Shorty’s Tap x Taco in the waterfront. The brunch and karaoke room are a must.

McFadden’s on a game day? Say no more. Located on the North Shore, McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon is the perfect place to catch your favorite sports game and an absolute hot spot before home Pirate or Steeler games. The restaurant is huge with massive bar, drink specials, mouthwatering food and tons of black and yellow.
If you’re a “beer with a view” type of person, Bigham Tavern is the place for you. At the top of Mt. Washington and with over 30 types of beer on tap, the possibilities are endless. We love a place that everyone feels like a neighbor and this is the place just for that. Grab a friend, a beer, and some grub for the big game and a good time!
There’s nothing like being in North Shore on game day and Tom’s Watch Bar is the new place to be. This game-day sports bar has enough TV’s to make sure you never miss a play. Plus cold beers are always on tap, great game day food, and the best atmosphere to cheer on your hometown favorites!

Tucked away in the streets of Lawrenceville, Stinky’s Bar & Grill is the perfect spot to catch the big game. Pull up a chair at the bar and watch the game on one of the TVs surrounding you. While you’re there, you MUST try the wings! Great flavor, cooked perfectly, and they always hit the spot. Even if the bar is full, sit at one of the other tables in front of a TV so you don’t miss any of the action.
Located in South Side on East Carson Street, Cupka’s Cafe II is a more of a classic sports bar you visit to watch the big game. Two words: no frills! Stop by to mingle with the regulars, have an Iron and get the food special. Heck, you might even run into the owner. You’ll definitely hear some Pittsburghese and yelling at the TV (which may include some expletives!)
