Redbeard’s On Sixth

The all you can eat wings on Wednesday for $ 9.99 is a great deal. I couldn’t even eat the first portion. Unlike some places that give you the «junior» wings, their «special» wings are jumbo as well. Bartender actually paired a wine with Buffalo wings. Now that’s talent!

Madison was beyond great. She delivered grand service and offered great menu advice. I love her positive attitude, which was definitely hard to come by in past Redbeards experiences. Cheers!

Food is ok. Nothing special bar food. But the service is honestly shitty… We waited 10 minutes to be greeted my a server, who was standing around the bar talking. It was not busy. This was our 3^rd visit. And each time the service was terrible. We keep trying this place and get disappointed each time. :(prob won’t be back again after this time.

Stopped by for Cajun wings and beer after Bucs game. The wings were crispy (requested style) and the flavor was OK. The dry rub Cajun style needed to have more zing it I ate it all. Spartan appointments.

Great place to stop in for happy hour downtown! They have different specials each day and great daily specials. It was $ 4 house wines the day I was there. I haven’t eaten here yet, but am intrigued by some of their daily food specials like All You Can Eat Crab Legs on Mondays! There is plenty of seating at the bar and the bartenders have always been great. Convenient location to the North Shore and Cultural District.

Loud as hell… Didn’t bother me until someone else mentioned it. But I can’t even speak to the server or the person I’m with without having to raise my voice. It’s not the music just voices. Lol
Went in on a Friday for happy hour. Super busy took a while to be seen and to get our drinks. When food came it was a little cold. Didn’t really have a horrible experience but not the greatest. Happy hour prices aren’t really that happy. The girl who was training to be server was very nice and polite, she’ll do just fine!

Just way too loud for any kind of enjoyable experience. Not the type of loud in which everyone is having a super fun time, just loud because of bad acoustics. I’m really not into yelling at my dinner partners or the server and vise versa.
The noise level tainted any other experience of food or service.

Met up with some friends on a Sat night for some dinner/​drinks. I was ready for a wait, as Sat night most places are busy. I was surprised when we were seating immediately and there wasn’t many people eating (also worried. why is nobody eating?).
The place is smaller than i expected, but there is another bar and seating upstairs which we didn’t know about. Our waitress was quick and very nice. Food was typical bar style food, burgers, fries, wraps, salads, etc. Prices seemed fair. I got a Yuengling bottle for 3.75 and a turkey wrap for around $ 10. Their weekly specials were impressive (AYCE Crab legs on monday ~$ 27, AYCE wings on Wed ~$ 10, $ 1 tacos on Tuesday).
My only gripe is the cost my fiancé’s Moscow Mule.$ 12 bucks! This isn’t an upscale place, idk what they’re thinking charging that much. They’re lucky I didn’t catch the price before she ordered it.
Overall, food was good and arrived quick. Service was very good and our meal was less than 50 even with the stupid ass 12 $ moscow mule so that was a plus. I’ll be back soon and try out the AYCE wings.

Done here! This place sucks. This is the third time I’ve had to wait over 40 minutes for a damn sandwich and this time they prepared it like shit. Management here is terrible and I have no idea how they stay in business.

Anyplace that has pierogies on the menu and brings me Mrs. T’s frozen pierogies deserves a two star or less rating. As someone who makes pierogies from scratch paying homage to my heritage, to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I understand taking some short cuts here and there but I have a hard time believing in a city known for pierogies that some better local options aren’t available.
Other than that, the service was fine, we had a larger group and our waiter kept up pretty well and was very friendly. Drinks and the rest of our food was okay but nothing to write home about. If you want standard bar food and aren’t fussy about sourcing or who makes it then here’s your spot.

Stopped in upon the recommendation of our hotel’s front desk when we inquired about a family-​friendly restaurant downtown.
While there was no official kids menu, there were quite a few kid-​friendly options already on the menu (I.e chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers & fries, etc.).
Redbeards is set up with a bar on the 1^st & 2^nd floors… and tables surrounding. While I’m sure it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring kids there after dinner hours, the staff made us feel completely welcome bringing our kids in for dinner before the hockey game.
Ordered some pretty basic lunch-​type food (taco salad, flatbread sandwich, pretzel & chicken tender app, and a cheese-​only hoagie). The service was outstanding, and they were beyond friendly and welcoming.
The only catch was… when our bill came, that cheese-​only hoagie they were so nice to make for one of our kids… they charged us $ 10 for that! In fact… we only ordered soft drinks (no alcohol), and the items mentioned above… and our bill was $ 60!
I guess that’s the going rate for these downtown places… but for lunch-​type items… this still seemed a little steep.
Aside from that… the food was great, the service outstanding, and it had a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend… just be prepared… it’s not an inexpensive place.

My husband and I were downtown to see a show and stumbled upon Redbeards after encountering a wait at the restaurant we had planned to dine at beforehand. Redbeards was busy on a Friday evening around 5:30, but they had tables available (they have two spaces, upstairs and downstairs). They call themselves a sports bar, and there certainly are some TVs, but the music was turned up SO LOUD that it made the place feel almost club-​like.
Anyway, from 4 – 6 on Mondays through Fridays they have happy hour specials, so we were able to catch the tail end of those… $ 2.00 off appetizers, as well as drink specials. The menu is mostly pretty standard bar fare. We ordered 3 appetizers (pretzel sticks, mozzarella logs, and pierogies), as well as a half dozen wings. Well, let me clarify… we attempted to order a half dozen wings. The music was so loud that it was hard to converse with the waitress (and ourselves, frankly), so she must’ve thought we just said a «dozen» wings, because that’s what we were brought. Similarly, we tried to order queso sauce with our pretzel sticks, but I don’t think she heard that either, because the dip accompanying the pretzels was definitely not queso.
The food was solid bar food. The mozzarella logs were big rectangular hunks of fried cheese with a tasty marinara dipping sauce… who can’t get on board with that? Frankly, I might eat all of my food in log shapes from now on. The pretzel sticks were soft and warm with just the right amount of salt. My biggest complaint about those is that I didn’t care for the dipping sauce that accompanied them. I have no idea what it was, but it definitely wasn’t the queso we ordered. Maybe a mustard of some kind? It had a really strong fake smoke flavor that I hated, although my hubby thought it was super tasty, so different strokes, I guess. The pierogies were also respectable. Not the best I’ve ever had by a long shot, but they were seasoned well and had plenty of fluffy potato and cheddar filling. I would’ve liked them to be a little more buttery and served with onions, but they were pretty tasty as is. Lastly, the honey mustard wings were quite delicious. They were perfectly fried, very meaty, and the sauce was sweet and tangy.
Overall, we were satisfied with our food, especially since everything (except the wings) was $ 2 off because of the happy hour. If we had paid full price, however, I’d probably be less pleased, because the regular prices here are very expensive (both food and drinks). You’re definitely paying a premium for the location. Note that if you check in on Unilocal (at least as of the time of this review), you’ll receive 10% off of your bill, but it’s not valid on already-​discounted food (i.e. happy hour) or any alcohol. Service was very prompt and efficient.
I’ll probably return when I’m in the area during happy hour… I just hope next time they’ll turn down their damn music! (Why yes, I do have a collection of children’s frisbees that have landed in my yard, why do you ask?) :)

This place needs to decide if it’s a juke joint or a sports bar — constant interruption of the Army Navy game audio with jukebox selections… I love the Eagles, but I selected this place to watch a football game not listen to the 70’s greatest hits!

My husband and I stopped into Redbeard’s for a night of college football. We had to wait for a table and decided to get a drink at the bar. There were no spaces, but we were happy to learn that there was another bar upstairs with ample standing room. I ordered our drinks, which were okay-​mixed cocktails but was pretty astounded when I got the bill. 21 bucks for 2 mixed drinks. A little much for a sports bar, no? However, Redbeard’s downtown seems to have upped its game from its Mt. Washington location. It is definitely a bit more trendy feeling, which was fine, but that comes with a price tag. The bars have a ton of big screen TVs, which made it very fun and easy to watch multiple games at once.
We finally got seated and ordered our meals. They were very careful about my food allergies, which was great. The manager came over multiple times to make sure our meals were to our liking and allergen free. Wonderful customer service!
The food was pretty damn good. I got a bowl of the chili, which is homemade (and free of top 8 allergens!) and the steak salad. They fry in soybean oil, so avoid that if you have the allergy. My husband got dry-​rubbed cajun wings and loved them. Our bill was reasonable for the food, so that was a plus. Just be wary of the high drink prices!

Came here for happy hour a few weeks ago and had great service until the managers got involved. We had well over fifteen people and they would not let us get another table. The bar area is too small upstairs to have a casual happy hour and we were told to sit, so give us some seats, maybe? They also would not split out check even though the entire time we confirmed with the waiters what tab each item ordered was to go on. Why say yes when you’re not going to do it?
The manager was exceptionally rude to me and then when I questioned him he retreated to the back never to return. The red bearded men with headsets are the managers and they spend their time looking as busy as possible and forcing people to check in on this app, not considering the consequences of our unemployable experiences being reported to the app.

Never really one to complain but the waitress that we had left me no choice. First off she was very slow and inattentive on top of being rude. It took about 15 mins for her to come to our table and didn’t look like she wanted to take our order. Then took another 15 – 20 mins for our drinks which was only waters and 1 beer.
When I made a comment about the food taking a long time 45 mins for some burgers she said I was exaggerating and gave me an attitude. The food never came out after an hour so we just left and paid our drinks which we shouldn’t even have had to pay. Really wished we could’ve ate but food never came out. All in all bad service!

A couple of group came after us was able to get their food before us. So of course we asked the server and she said it’s because our group was to big. It doesn’t justify that we had to wait for an hour for the food and never came back to refill our water. So we all left…
Without being apologetics she was just rude.

Well I stand at the hostess station while she is busy talking. The manager comes up and asked if I want to sit somewhere… well yeah… I want lunch. The waitress comes over and I order… she returns with a flat soda… not a great start.
No check to see if I want refills, but the wings were ok. I think I shall pass on additional trips. 12 bucks was a bit much for six wings and a drink.

$ 7 for an IPA on tap. $ 6.50 for a cider. $ 4 for flavorless tortilla chips, salsa that wasn’t much more than tomatoes and onion, and queso that was an unidentifiable mix of cheese and whatever else was lying around. $ 20 for bland «nachos» and expensive drinks… we will never go back. Awful!

Megan is the best waitress ever! The foid was good, the beers were a bit pricey but it IS downtown. There was a cool trivia thing going on but unfortunately we had to leave. All around decent but megan really made it great! Give that girl a bonus and a raise

It was a Friday night, so a lot of the restaurants we tried had long wait times but we were seated right away at Redbeard’s. We ordered the salmon croquettes and pretzel sticks for appetizers. The salmon croquettes were dry and were really lacking in flavor, so I could only eat it after spreading the queso sauce on top that we got with our pretzel sticks to make them more bearable. That was the first croquette. The second one tasted weird, like a chicken nugget. The pretzel sticks were warm and the queso dip was a good choice to go along with it. I wish they didn’t have as much salt on them though. I ordered the Early Tee Time burger, which comes topped with a fried egg, crispy bacon, American cheese, and mayo and a side of steak fries. It was a pretty average burger; I’ve had much better burgers with egg and bacon. Friends ordered the fish & chips and the garden salad and both more or less enjoyed them.

My husband and I had been to a show at the Benedum. We didn’t get to eat before hand so we were starving afterward. We hopped in to this place and asked if their kitchen was still open. We were seated quickly and given menus. There was SO much to choose from. We ordered some wings and a wrap.
The wings were goosed in a «sweet chili» sauce. I thought they would have a little bit of kick to them but they were very good. The wings were crispy and juicy.
The wrap had turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, and tomato with mayo. It was filled with turkey. It was very tasty. It came with a side of seasoned steak fries. They could have been abut crisper but they had great flavor.
I would definitely go back and try other menu items. They had great food and great service.

Redbeard’s on Sixth is one of my favorite downtown bars. It’s got your basic bar food and a good draft list. It’s nice and clean but without a lot of bells and whistles other downtown bars think they need.
Service is friendly. Redbeard’s is one of my standard reliable places for pre– or post-​game drinks. This place gets four stars just for having my essentials.

Service was wonderful. She was attentive and kind. However, it did not compensate for the laziness of the kitchen. My first batch of wings where served cold with an improperly made «Giddy Up» sauce which is a flavor I have all the time… The server kindly apologized and took the wings away. A few moments later we were handed back the same batch of wings that obviously had been microwaved do to how soggy the wings had become. (Still with that mystery white sauce). I bit into the wing and even with the microwaving, the wing was bloody and raw on the inside.
The manager came over once and offered to get us something else. After the initial lack of effort put into our initial meal, I declined as did my friend who was also uncomfortable with the kitchen.
I won’t be back to this Red Beards. I will still however frequent the Mt Washington location where the kitchen cares about what comes out to the customer.
(This was not the first bad experience at this location, but it will now be the last.)

There isn’t anything wrong with the place, but the only thing really right is its proximity to the Roberto Clemente bridge. Sixteen different beer taps, mostly mega brews. Full bar, bar food. $ 30 (pre-​tip) for lunch for 2. (Just iced tea to drink) so it’s pricier than I really was looking for.

This is a sports bar in downtown Pittsburgh with a long narrow setup. There is a bar along the wall with six screens behind the bar. On the other side there are tables. It has the layout of a bar, not a restaurant with a bar attached.
I came in and sat at the bar and asked for a screen to be changed to a game I wanted to watch. They obliged; there was not much else going on in sports.
The beer list has about 10 or so drafts, though not everything on their published beer list is in stock. I asked for a Dogfish 60 Minute IPA, but it was out of stock so I ordered a Southern Tier IPA.
The food menu is standard sports bar fare, with a selection of burgers and sandwiches. I ordered a Tuscan chicken sandwich, which was fine, but the menu said it came with steak fries but instead came with chips.
The main problems were in the service area. They had one overtaxed bartender working behind the bar, who had a little trouble keeping up with all her patrons. To top it all off, they committed what I feel was a violation of sports bar etiquette: despite the fact that I specifically asked to watch an NBA game, when the Pirates game started and a patron asked to see the Pirates, they proceeded to turn all six screens to the Pirates game. Despite being a violation of etiquette, it was unnecessary as the bar was not crowded and there weren’t Pirates fans throughout the bar. At other bars I go to, they leave a screen on a game in progress that a patron is watching, or at a minimum they could ask if is OK to switch the game. This bar would do well to heed that rule.
The prices turned out to be a little on the high side. The IPA was $ 7 for a draft. That’s kind of high, as I can usually get drafts of similar quality for $ 5.50 or $ 6.00.

Tried Redbeards today for the first time. The place was pretty busy but I was able find a seat at the bar. The bartender seemed friendly and energetic when he greater me. I was happy to learn that they serve raspberry ice tea and decided on the Ballpark Burger with a side salad after reviewing the menu.
While waiting for my burger I took in the atmosphere. Six TVs lined the walls behind the bar; all on mute playing sports stations or TNT. The walls adorn Pittsburgh sports art. Contrasting that was the dim, almost too dim, lighting. It’s hard to tell whether they’re going for a sports bar or contemporary romantic feel. Of course I notice how well stocked the bar was and what a nice selection of craft beers that they have on tap.
Oddly enough, my burger came out before the salad. No real issue for me but I think it does reflect a small hiccup in the kitchen. This was easily forgiven though by the quality of burger that was served. It was dense and juicy without making the bun all soggy. The bacon on it was thick and chewy, not that cheap, thin stuff that some places try pass off to cut cost with. The burger was topped with provolone cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato and pickle. Well worth the $ 11.00 they charge for it.
The salad that I had afterwards was mostly lettuce with two slices of cucumber, two slices of onion, two cherry tomatoes and two pepperoncini’s. In the corner of the dish there was some sliced up black olives… I had to wonder that if you were to put the slices of olives back together, would they combine to make of two whole olives? The southwest dressing that I got with it had a nice zest to it and everything on the salad was super fresh.
Despite some of its idiosyncrasies, Redbeards gets a big thumbs up from me. I felt I got a good value for the meal that I enjoyed and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggesting it as a meeting place for the next ball game or show that I go to in the Cultural District.

Eh, I wasn’t particularly impressed with my time at Redbeard’s.
The good: On Wednesdays all day, they have all you can eat wings and chips for $ 10. Great deal considering 10 wings off of their menu are $ 10 themselves. You can only choose one flavor at a time. You start off with ten and then receive them by 5’s. For my first batch, I tried the honey bbq which was good (i love honey bbq) The second batch, I ordered the Redbeard’s Signature sauce– sweet chili sauce, BBQ sauce & some hot sauce. I really enjoyed that sauce. Their chips are nice too and are seasoned with a litte kick of something. can’t put my finger on it.
The Average: Everything else. Our service really wasn’t too good. She seemed to be new and we waited awhile to put in our order. In her defense, I do believe she was new because she pulled out a list whenever we asked her what the craft beer options were. For drinks, we started off with a long island each. terrible! Too much Sours were in that drink which literally can ruin the drink. and it did. Also, at the end of the night we found out that each long island was $ 12. wtf?! $ 24 on 2 crappy drinks? We gulped the drink to get it over with then ordered 2 vodka and orange juice. aka a tall glass of OJ and a splash of vodka. So in conclusion on drinks. We spent $ 20 each on drinks ($ 40 total) and didnt even walk out of there with a buzz. –_​– Also, Bobby ordered the stuffed mushrooms with crab (appetizer) to eat. It was completely bland and both the mushroom and crab were not seasoned. It would’ve been completely delicious with a nicely seasoned mushroom and a tad of old bay on the crab.
The menu seemed large and had nice selections. pub food plus some entrees. If we do stop back it will be for all you can eat wings. and we will stop there. Totally disappointed with both the food & drinks for what the final bill ended up being :(
