Great Sports bar - great food

by SVMainUS at Citysearch

Dukes offers a unique menu with food indicative of the Mon Valley it resides in. I've never had a bad meal at Dukes and I've been going there for years (and years) and I've never had bad service there either. It's a great Sports Bar with plenty of TVs and viewing (and both seats at the bar and pub tables and booths - so plenty of seating) OR there are tables in the back on the second level if you'd like to get away from the noice of those watching the game and dine with your family.

• Pros: Great food at a great value - lots to choose from - great service
• Cons: Parking is not always easy to find. Primarily street parking that is not always available

Best Neighborhood Sports Bar

by braszman at Citysearch

This is a great sports bar/restaurant. Friendly, place in a great location just over the Homestead Bridge on 8th Avenue across from the Walgreens (formerly Chiodos Tavern). Bartenders and waitresses are friendly and quick. Food is always great. The back dining area is fine for families but the front is definitely for the Pittsburgh sports fan. 10 tv's, well situated around the bar. Great juke box which they actually shut off during Steeler games and other major sporting events. Highly recommend the wings (try the mild& wild) and the steak salad. Baked potato soup is great as is the French onion. Don't miss the duchess fries (sweet potato) and if you have a big group you must order the calzone. Large will feed about 5 people. Forget the Waterfront. Just stop in to Dukes - spend a little and enjoy a lot.

Definitive Sporst Tavern

by 14213 at Citysearch

Dukes is a place you can enjoy a great steak or salad, the best wings in Pittsburgh, solid beer selection on tap at very fair prices, desserts that have the key elements of chocolate and chocolate.

AND - See every Pittsburgh sporting event on a wide screen high definition TV or on one of the 10 or so other tv screens around the place. You can bring the kids and sit in the rear dining area. They'll love it. Ambiance is great, Duke himself is likely to make an appearance on any given night.

• Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive Drinks, Friendly Atmosphere
