The Scene – Larger than its exterior suggests, Silky's has eight TVs downstairs and two upstairs, airing everything from sitcom reruns to sports shows and big games. Husband-and-wife owners Lois and Al Lampenfeld opened the bar in 1982 next to the ever-popular Poli's, and they didn't lose many patrons in 1989 when it moved to its current site up the street. – – The Draw – Besides the famed 10 TVs, a lot of the loyalty can be attributed to the bar's open atmosphere, which attracts college students, suits and blue-collars alike.

its okay
by mdoc74
Be prepared. They want you in and out. I met work staff there one day and once some ppl in our party started leaving, they insisted on moving us. again, and again.

- Pros: good wings
- Cons: the wait staff

My favorite bar in Pittsburgh!
by euncapher
There are plenty of TV's with plenty of sports. The wait staff is great! The food is tremendous! YAY WINGS! Very good wings, amazingly big burgers, awesome salads, and they used to have a chicken quesadilla that made my toes tingle! The mixed drinks are pretty good too, and not too badly priced for Pittsburgh. Parking can be a BEAR in Squirrel Hill though, so be prepared to circle a few blocks to find a space. I've always loved hanging out here!
- Pros: Wings, burgers, plenty of TV's, great staff, the food is tremendous!
- Cons: Parking

Great Neighborhood Sports Bar
by Larry_Hatch
Silky's is the place to be for football and hockey. Plenty of TVs and good beers on tap. Plus Jay is easily the best bartender in Pittsburgh. The shuffleboard table is awesome too.
The Details on Silky's Sports Bar and Grill
The Extras:
These days, Silky's is one of the few bars in Pittsburgh with a non-digital jukebox, and the bar also plays host to an honest-to-God shuffleboard.
Save Money:
Sports fans will especially like that Silky's happy hour runs from 9pm to 11pm in addition to the usual 5pm to 7pm.
