These kilt jockeys know their scotch!. If you go there, go for the fabulous scotch selection. Best in the state, hands down. As far as the food, even the best made Scottish, British and Irish food are bland at best (they are practically all the same place). Just different variations of potatoes and meat. Truly boring. The beer selection is great for a normal bar but just average for a good beer bar. Screw them and their stupid soccer games. They act like soccer is a real sport in this place when it's actually just an extraciricular activity for kids.

Great Place for Beer, Scotch and U.K. food.. At the risk of ruffling feathers, both British and Irish food is done well here. It is tough to find elsewhere in Pittsburgh so I always get "Across the Pond" fare when I'm in. If you love 'football", this is the place to be for the matches. Truly an English Pub atmosphere when a game is on, tough to understand for someone who might not have played "soccer" but think of a Steelers Bar in the Cotswolds and you'll get the idea.

The big draw though is the beer and the Single Malt Scotch. Drew does a fabulous job in coming up with Single Malts that truly are hard to find in the PA system. Even more, he lets you try them at a truly reasonable cost. Trying a taste of "Sheep Dip" before you buy a bottle can save you plenty of money. If you don't know scotch, talk to the staff and they will give you a guiding hand. (P.S. Drew's cousin imports and bottles single and vatted malts for sale in the US, these guys know their stuff.)

Now for the beer, Piper's has a wide selection of bottled beers and a great selection of drafts. The really special part of Piper's Pub is the fact that they have a "Firkin System" for a small amount of their draft beer. When I look at their price for a "Firkin Draft" (I know the potential joke there), I really don't know how Drew can keep it that low. You may come in once, taste the beer and say "what is the big deal" but if you continued to come in and try the beer as it matures, you would see what the "fuss" is about.

Go to Piper's Pub and taste things not available elsewhere in Western Pennsylvania, it is worth your time!

Great Pub Though Theme Confused. Pipers is a great British, er... Irish, er.... British...Well your guess is a good as mine, Has mainly British menu items and a great selection of beer and single malts. Food is pretty good for hearty British/Irish fare and the atmosphere is great. Loved the fact there the music is understated, reminds me of being back home in London where Pubs are places to chat, meet friends and have a laugh without competing with loud Techno shite. So far my number one choice for Pittsburgh Pubs.

Great food Fun People. Piper's Pub has a great selection of wonderful food and an even better selection of drinks. Only one major draw back not enough music.
