Redbeards is the best bar in Mount Washington. It is modern, clean, and has fantastic food specials each day of the week. They have a good selection of beers and reasonable well drinks. Their interior is relatively spacious and they have a nice patio allowing customers to wine and dine outside.

We stopped in for an appetizer and some beer on a stupid hot and humid day. We were doing some sightseeing in Pixburgh and, of course, had to hit the incline. Staff was friendly - they have $2.50 Blue Moon on tap on Saturdays! YAY! We split the 3 dip app and it was really really good!

There are a few bars to choose from in Mt. Washington, I work up here so I go have a beer or two with lunch every day. I go to Redbeard's because the staff is friendly (Bridget and Pat. the bartenders during lunch time, are the best.), the food isn't expensive and it's really good! I leave there full and satisfied every time. I recommend the burgers, if you want a good burger in Mt. Washington don't go to Packs & Dogs. Redbeard's will give you a real burger not a little girl burger lol. Good selection of beer too!

I disagree with Darren a little. The shrimp jammers were very good and I liked my Pulled Pork sammich. The service wasn't that great, though, but that would be my only complaint.

I don't give 5 Stars unless a place is perfect. I go to wing nights a lot; it's kind of a thing. This place did not disappoint. The wings were cooked brilliantly, the flavors were very unique (some better than other's but that's clearly a personal taste), and the over all vibe of this place was very welcoming. The only downfall to their wing night is that you must order 10 wings at a time. 10 wings is too much; a more acceptable number would be around 6. Most places I've visited do 5 to 6 wings per order; it's worked for Quaker Steak, hasn't it? So other than that odd down fall that shatter's my OCD like it was dipped in liquid nitrogen and smashed with a hammer, I was impressed by this place. Get the "Giddy Up" wings and " *something* Chili" wings. They are by far the most unique and the best in my opinion. See you around, Redbeard's; I thoroughly enjoyed going to your establishment.

Excellent service and very attentive. Had the loaded fries and grilled chicken sandwich, which were both good. Solid bar food.

Cool little Pittsburgh spot at the top of Mt. Washington. Park your car, walk along Grandview enjoying the view, and stop here for a cold one (alternately, to watch the game). Decent food, great service, and great prices. A friend who is a born and bred Yinzer (spelling?) says to me, "this is actually classy for Pittsburgh." I have nothing to compare it to -- but I had a great time and I think you will too.

Oh, Pittsburgh - you may as well be in Iowa with the selection of late nite eats available. This is how we ended up at Redbeard's. *sigh* The menu is pretty extensive - so I got pretty excited at first. I wasn't in the mood for 'typical bar food'. I did enjoy the fried pickles - the pickle was nice and crunchy and not some slimy mush inside a fried shell. I ordered the grilled chicken kabobs. Simple and easy, right? The chicken was not grilled...at least not initially. What I deduce is that the chicken was pre-cooked (poached!) and then pulled out of the fridge, added to a skewer with raw veggies and thrown on a grill for 2 minues. The veggies were still raw when they were served to me. Onions, zuchhini, and green peppers - all veggies that are fine raw, but not in this case. The chicken was pale and rather grotesque looking as well. The rice pilaf was probably Uncle Bens 90-second rice pouch as it was bland and had that 'pre-processed' flavor. Unfortunately, I wasn't drunk enough to think the food was good. The late night bites quest in Pittsburgh continues.

Anyone who has ever been to Redbeard's knows that it will never be a five star gourmet eatery. Nor does it pretend to be. Instead, Redbeard's seems to bridge a weird divide of modern style and the unrepentant proletariat with something bordering on the urbane. It's barely perceptible, but it's there. And it seems to work. The menu here seems to be a compendium of all the items from every other bar you've ever entered, all congealed into one convenient list of options. Standard bar fare, true, but there's such a variety available it seems to somehow enhance the perception of its quality. And for a busy place, the service is commendable. So, come here for a late night jaunt, a kickass burger or maybe just because your cardiologist hasn't seen you in awhile. But whatever you do, give this place a go.

Awesome location, acceptable beer selection, very good pub food. Clean and spacious inside, patio heaters make the outside seating area really comfortable. And it's about a block from one of the greatest city views in America! I'll definitely be back.

If this place could manage to NOT overcook shrimp, it's an easy 5 star. We go for the crablegs and you totally should too. They are cooked PERFECTLY EVERY TIME and piping hot. They don't slouch either, they keep 'em coming. We went for the all you can eat shrimp once, and every single piece was overcooked and chewy. Bummer. But hey, we ate them anyway; we were drunk, and hungry. We've gone back for other food many times and ordered the shrimp appetizer twice now, and it's always overcooked too. Whatever. Now I know what not to order. That's the only bad thing I can say about this place. The staff is friendly, the crablegs are awesome, the crablegs are good, and did I mention the crablegs? Would I come here just to drink...no. Too pricey just to sit and get bombed, but I will order a drink or two with dinner. They make a mean bloody mary and a damn good white russian. The appetizers are delicious (not the shrimp) and the desserts are pretty bangin' too. You can't go wrong with AYCE crablegs, and they never seem to be too busy on those days...I don't know why, but hey, more for me!

Ah Redbeards. I sorta kinda pretended like I lived on Mt. Wash when I was in college (pretty much spent the night at my friend's apt. there every night). Redbeards was always a staple. I can't remember if they're still on the menu, but the buffalo onion rings? PERFECTION. I am an extreme lover of buffalo anything, and onion rings, so this was the best thing someone could put on a menu, for realz. You have to love a bar where you can get stuffed hot peppers as an appetizer. So very Pittsburgh, so very awesome. Great atmosphere for grabbing some old ones and watching the [insert awesome Pittsburgh sports team name here] game, too. I can totally envision the high-fiving and chest bumping strangers-that-are-now-friends under the common banner of sports teams after we score a [touchdown, goal, homerun]. So to all the current Mount Washingtonians I say this - if you haven't taken a stroll over to Redbeards yet, DO IT NOW. You'll miss it if you're ever gone. *sheds a tear* *searches online for a place to get Iron City beer in Charlotte, NC* *googles a recipe for buffalo onion rings*

Another place that my friend Justin always takes me to. The food is pretty average, and the beer isn't cheap. It's a bar, and the staff is ok for what it is I guess. I just don't get it.

Resort? Yacht Club? If this is what you are looking for you are definitely going to be disappointed (PS you are in Pittsburgh on a Mountain so I hope you aren't expecting this). I have never eaten here but the menu looks like typical bar food. I have drank her 4 times in 4 different parts of the restaurant (dining room, patio, bar and table in the bar). Service: Surprisingly service was good everywhere but the bar. We sat for 15 minutes before we got our drinks refilled at the bar. The male bartenders were the only ones to ask if we needed another drink. When I sat at a table the service was always fast. Drinks: Average prices. Decent Selection but nothing to off the wall. Atmosphere: This place is loud but not too loud (still can have a convo). Bright but not too bright. Normally a decent crowd not too tool-y. The patio has a fireplace with was clutch on chilly fall nights. I have always had fun here. Most of that has to do with my company (dates and friends) but some was definitely due to the bar. Solid Causal Bar

FRIED PICKLES FRIED PICKLES FRIED PICKLES...get it?! Love their fried pickles. Its truly about the only reason I ever go, is when I can't fight the urge of holding back from those fried pickles. All the other food is nothing but better than the average bar food. Good beer, average service, terrible fried mozzarella logs..yuck! But its the place to go on the mountain for those damn pickles.

Our party of 4 stopped here while in Mt. Washington area. Overall Summary: Open late if you are in the mood for appetizers and drinks. Food / Drinks: Classic fried food; a few vegan selections; grilled kabobs was interesting but nothing stellar. Drinks were slamming; go for that. Service: Staff members are attentive. A little slow during game time, but that is to be expected.

I was here most often when I lived in Mt. Washington. The scene is pretty twisted. You've got some local thugs that may be visiting from Allentown and you'll also have just your regular types like me and other older locals. Sometimes you'll see a few folks in suits. The bartenders are pretty good most of the time. They used to have one guy named Dustin who had a pretty good record with beating the spread in football games. The food is surprisingly good bar food. I think their mozzarella sticks are the best i've had, and super healthy for you. And, by healthy I mean not physically but mentally. One last thing, it's neither a resort or a yacht club.

Well for starters I want to say I have no idea why the title says Red Beards Mountain Resort and Yacht Club because really the place is just called Red Beards. However, the address is correct. So, I love the food at Red Beards. Its a good place to go and eat, listen to music, play darts with your friends, have a beer, and even make some new friends just as long as their not the thugs from the bad part of mount washington. I frequent this place occasionally and I have fun. I especially go there when I have the munchies haha. The service is usually good and prompt. I never leave disappointed. I was there last night with a friend. This time around I was disappointed. We sat at the bar and the lady approached us. It was immediately noticeable that she was not in a good mood. I am not a beer drinker I am a wine person. Well note to anyone who orders wine never get it at redbeards. The merlot which is my favorite tasted like shit or better yet I should say really cheap merlot. Whatever, I let that slide. I mean really what did I expect. Anywhom, we asked her several times for our menu and finally she brought them. I ordered buffalo tenders with blue cheese a side of fries with cheese dip. My girlfriend ordered grilled chicken with broccli and mashed potatoes with a side salad and blue cheese. Once we gave her our orders she asked us for a card. I said we are paying with cash. She sighed loudly as if she was annoyed. Walked away and we never saw her again. 15 minutes later another lady brought our food. My girlfriend got her salad with her food and my tenders came with no blue cheese. That was fine we just told her and she apologized. So then all was well. We enjoyed our food with our cheap ass wine and listened to some music off the jukebox. Finally we get our checks. I notice I am charged 50 cents for my blue cheese which should've came with my tenders. Whatever, no biggie just take off the 50 cent. The new server goes to tell the old server about it and she looks at me like im a bitch. Its not my fault you fucked up but w/e. The new server comes back with my check. She apologizes. I ask her how the tips work and she tells me it will be split between her and the other server. I explained to her what happened and she tells me that the old server is actually the manager. Thats when I inform her that her manager is a bitch. I give her $4 and the tell her to give the manager a dollar. Basically Redbeards is still good for a cheap eat, apparently cheap wine, and a nice cold yuengling. I still say go there and eat. You'll have a good time. I just didnt appreciate last night and the service, but no big deal. I'll be back.

I like Redbeards. The patio is nice and provides a fun ambiance for Shiloh Street... Happy Hour specials are good. I've had their mozzarella sticks which are massive but good. I haven't gone here on a weekend night. Bartenders are nice and so are the waitresses. Only downfall: they need a website.

I never ever ever give one star. It takes a truly horrifying experience for me to do this so here goes. First of all, I love the downtown Redbeards so please go there often!! Now for the Mt. Washington location. I was given wings that were pink and bleeding. When I talked to the server, I was told that I was not the first person to complain about uncooked wings tonight. The server sent over the manager that told me the wings were cooked the entire way through and if I wanted them a different way, I should have said extra crispy. I have never sent food back a day in my life. I have two people at the table with me and they challenged the manager with me by saying the food was totally uncooked and bleeding. It wasn't like I ate 10 of the 12 wings, it was the first drumstick that I encountered and I was nervous about the flat wings as they sat half-eaten on my table. Just sharing what happened. :-( I was only here to watch the Steelers game, I will never be returning again. #shouldvestayeddowntown

So I've never been a fan. I'd been to the downtown location a few times and was generally unimpressed, both my the food and the service. One night I ended up at the one in Mt. Washington because the wait at all the surrounding restaurants was insane. It was honestly one of the worst dining experiences of my life. First of all, the service was awful from beginning to end. We were left waiting for long periods of time, and when our server finally showed up, she was useless. She did not know the answers to any of our questions, and rather than finding out, she would just tell us, "more or less", and we would find out later that she was totally wrong. Our food was wrong, it tasted horrible, and the whole dining experience took HOURS - and that's no appetizers, and we ordered right when she came up. Tables around us got food before us... It had no redeeming qualities. I will never be returning.

I remember having a great experience at Redbeard's with a group of friends, one of whom resides right around the corner on Grandview Avenue, back when I was first moving to Pittsburgh in late-2010. We dined indoors for dinner. The service was prompt, and our food was delicious. Today we decided we wanted to dine al fresco for lunch on Mt. Washington. It was the day of the Pittsburgh Marathon, so we knew there would be post-running crowds arriving in the early-afternoon, so we arrived around 11:45 AM. We initially were seated at Shiloh Grill until we were told that only a buffet-styled brunch was available (we wanted full-menu service for lunch and were irked there wasn't a sign indicating this at their entrance). We left and tried Redbeard's after finding some things that looked promising on their posted menu. We were promptly seated at the last available table on their patio and thought "Gee, what great luck!" A few other tables adjacent to us were empty, but we overheard staff members telling other prospective patrons that those tables were "reserved". It turns out a group of frat boy-like restaurant employees (who oddly didn't know their server based upon a conversation we overheard?) was meeting there for lunch, and then they decided they didn't need one of the two-seater tables after all about five minutes after the restaurant turned away two women who were interested in dining on the patio to save it for them. I thought that was very unprofessional to begin with.. We received our cocktails promptly. Both were good, albeit on the weak side. Throughout our dining experience we had three different servers, and none of the three seemed to be able to coordinate very well to determine who did what at what table. We waited patiently 45 minutes for our two wraps, and while the servers were apologetic their excuse of "it's taking so long today because we have to hand-write your orders shorthand for the kitchen because the computers are down" was questionable to me. Just be honest with us. It was apparent you were short-staffed (management's fault---certainly not yours) for what was going to be an above-average Sunday with a ton of tourists in town who'd saunter up to Mt. Washington and want to eat at the scant selection of eateries available along Shiloh. I'd actually have preferred to have heard an excuse of "some of our cooks weren't able to get here because of the road closures..." rather than it taking 25-30 minutes longer to receive two wraps than at comparable restaurants "cuz that's how long it takes to hand-write two wraps on a piece of paper". You were short-staffed due to management oversight. Admit it and move on. My sweet potato waffle fries were overdone, but my partner's steak fries were cooked perfectly. Our wraps turned out to be above-average in terms of taste and quality and worth the wait. When coupled with the entire experience, though, it wasn't worth $45 (including tip) for two wraps and two drinks. I did tip 20% because I felt it was unfair to penalize a server for something beyond their control. Ambiance? Trashy, to say the least. When my partner got up first to grab something out of my car and then a second time to use the restroom I had to keep shooing surrounding tables from trying to take his chair like vultures thinking I was some loser dining alone after being abandoned by his dining partner prematurely. The employee group dining near us was polite and took an unused chair when we were both seated after asking. Another party next to us waited all of 30 seconds after my partner arose to ask to take both remaining chairs. I indicated my partner was going to be returning to a chair I pointed at soon, but they could have the other chair. The guy proceeded to take his chair (the one I pointed to as being HIS chair), and I had to scold him to take the other chair instead. When our check finally arrived (after another above-average wait) no sooner had I put my credit card into the sleeve did a man come over and ask "Are you leaving?" I replied yes, and he asked "when"? We both stood up to leave, and another family ignored the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign and bullied their way past us to self-claim the table before we could escape the narrow patio exit. Such a shame overall because the wraps were delicious, but given the short-sighted understaffing and rude surrounding patrons who took to fixing their own seating issues because they also couldn't be served timely we had a miserable time and won't be back. I'm only giving them two stars instead of one because the wraps WERE good and the servers DID legitimately seem stressed and apologetic. We'll try Shiloh Grill instead at some point when they're not "doing buffet brunch only..." We know they're the sister location of Harris Grill in Shadyside and have always had reliably good service and good there for roughly the same price.

Why do I hate Redbear's? Let me count the ways. If you aren't a pretty lady, the bartenders aren't interested. Not for small talk, a menu not for info on the food, not for info on a drink or beer, or for that matter, I couldn't even get the bartender's attention to pay my bill. But you can bet I had his attention when I left him 17 cents for a tip. My bar bill was $9.83 and I gave him a two fives, and I looked at him and said keep the change. If looks could kill I'd be down the street at Slater's Funeral Home. The food? Meh, I've had better, why this place does such a rockin business I'll never know. Stay out after say dinner service is finished as the clientele becomes, shall I just say....shady. There are much better places to spend your hard earned money.

We absolutely LOVE the wings at Redbeards! They are quick, hot, and fresh every time. And, the wait staff are friendly and wonderful. This is a great place to watch a game or enjoy a night out with friends. Check it out next time you are on Mt. Washington.

Awful experience. Mushy wings. Incredibly slow service. Took 1 hour and 10 minutes to get our second round of wings on all you can eat wing night. Funny tasting beers. The waitress had 10 tables from the back of the restaurant all the way to the front of the bar. She was running like crazy but did the best she could with the situation. It seems like the restaurant is terribly managed now. It used to be a great place for wings. I'm not sure what happened but I'll never go back.

I'm glad we found this place as the burgers were great and done as requested - medium. The Bloody Marys were spicy, good, and pretty run of the mill. We ordered a small plate of 6 wings & drummies as an appetizer and would recommend the full plate! We had the original BBQ sauce, which was mild but with a ton of flavor. The service was quick and mostly quite good. The waitress didn't return after the food arrived and she didn't ask if we wanted more drinks. In this case, we didn't, so that was ok. I also thought the waitress was very unhappy that day, but otherwise, did an adequate job. Although it was lunch time, there were only a few filled tables inside and a few outside. It was a week day with few tourists, such as ourselves. As a side note, during our week in Greensburg and one day in Pitts, generally we found the food boring and tasteless. So, we were nicely surprised by these burgers and fries.

All the food that my group had at Redbeard's was sub-par. It wasn't downright gross, but it was just your typical greasy bar fare. No one finished their meal. The service was good enough, but they give you a hard time about substitutions. For example, I wanted sweet potato fries as a side and was fine paying an upcharge for them, but they told me I had to order the entire appetizer and they wouldn't do a side, even for an extra fee. They offer outdoor seating, which is a plus.

Redbeard's is a solid bar/restaurant on Mt. Washington. It offers up consistently good American bar food and is usually packed for any Pittsburgh sports game. They have unbeatable weeknight specials on drinks and food and the atmosphere is friendly and fun. The outdoor seating is wonderful for the summer, so if you want a laid back atmosphere, make sure you check it out.

I used to come here all the time when I lived in Mt Washington and almost everything I've had was great--this was also a few years ago. I hadn't been there in about two years but my boyfriend and I stopped in last Tuesday for dinner and a beer. We sat outside, they recently redid their patio and it's great. They now have a bar outside and almost every table is shaded by an umbrella which is great. I got a para dish called something along the lines of bruschetta chicken pasta, it was amazing. And the portion was huge. I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. The boyfriend had his usual cheeseburger, with onion straws on it and some type of wing sauce and he said it was awesome too. The service was great as well and our food came out quickly. I had a pumpkin beer complete with the cinnamon sugar rim and Drew had a dog fish head 60 minute. They also have a decent list of mixed drinks that sounded pretty tempting as well. Go here!

Redbeards was a brief stop for us in an overall brief trip to Pittsburgh. We were in the mood for a quick bite, nothing too fancy on our way to a show. We weren't in a hurry per se, but we did arrive with about an hour and a half to dine, so maybe Redbeards wasn't the best choice. Our waitress was scatter brained. Normally I would just think it was an off night, but due to the way another waitress kept coming to our table to make sure we were helped, I think that this is an overall state of mind for her. She was nice, don't get me wrong, but it was a little laughable. Food was really good. We went with two salads, the firecracker shrimp and fried pickles. Being out of town is the only excuse for so much fried food in one weekend. The fried pickles were pickle spears, which I've never had before but I liked them that way! The more pickle the better for me. The shrimp were decent too but were nothing more than shrimp fried with buffalo sauce and some ranch on the side. Overall the experience was pretty good and this would be the kinda bar I would hang out at home: pretty low key setting with lots of booze flowing.

The fish is pretty good not the best in the area. Hit Piper's Pub for that. My boyfriend does not recommend the rest of the food, it's mediocre. The service is odd. We wanted a booth in back and they said they couldn't sit us there because it was a five top so we had to sit at a table in the middle of the room. Been there many times, now that we live in beechview and not mt washington we won't be going back

I was hesitant to go back to this place as I had been years ago and it was your typical dive bar. Well I was pleasantly surprised as Redbeards has def. been upgraded. The dining area was really nice and we were seated in an outside tent that was heated in fact our table was right next to the fireplace. The had a great variety of draft and bottled beers. I went with the Wild Blue (blueberry ale) and Sunset Wheat. The menu had a nice variety from burgers to wraps and flatbreads. My date ordered a burger which was huge and looked tasty. I went with the buffalo chicken wrap and it was one of the best I have had. We both had the homemade chips as our side but the fries looked good. The service was quick too. Great place to go to watch a game.

First time here, and the food is excellent. Our bartender, albeit sweet and very friendly, seemed rushed and took a long time to get to us even though she only had about 8 guests. Plus, we waited almost half an hour for a salad. Will try again.

After riding up the incline and taking some pictures of the beautiful Pittsburgh skyline, I walked over to Redbeard's to grab some grub. I wasn't overly hungry, but when I noticed the deep-fried dill pickles on the menu, I knew I had to try them. I've eaten various appetizers like this before, but they were always sliced pickles. Not here. You're getting the whole spear, which I thought was much better. Add a couple of pints of Dogfish 60 min IPA, the NL beating up on the AL in the All-Star game and baseball debate with gentlemen at the bar and I had myself a very enjoyable evening.

Kay was craving BBQ, but I couldn't find a BBQ place in the South Hills we hadn't been to yet that was open this past Sunday evening. We came very close to going to Shiloh Grill, but at the last minute, we decided on Redbeard's. Alas, Redbeard's doesn't have much of that sort of thing on their menu aside from a pulled pork sandwich that Kay ordered. Nonetheless, after a sweaty day of housework, we sat down in this boisterous bar and grill for some so-so eats. The Shrimp Jammers were our chosen starter. Filled with Monterery Jack cheese somehow, the shrimp is then encased in breading and deep-fried. Each one was so ooey-gooey that the cheese overtook the flavor and texture of the shrimp. While not terrible, the Shrimp Jammers certainly wouldn't warrant a repeat order on my end. If I had just ordered a cup of the chili and the french fries, Redbeard's would get an easy 4 stars. The chili came very close to being as good as my beloved mom's own, which still stands as my personal favorite. I barely detected beans; a positive trait to my tastes. The ground meat was abundant. The broth itself was thick and had just enough sting to it. Our meal was nearly redeemed by this and the golden, crisp, above average french fries. The medium-rare burger was dry, came off more like a well-done, and the numerous fixings did little to improve on it. This wasn't an abysmal burger but merely a step above edible. No desserts were on tap. The nearby ice cream parlor got our dollars instead. A review will be up soon. Service-wise, things were off-kilter. Our waitress kept forgetting to bring Kay a straw for her iced tea and seemed "inconvenienced" by our presence and requests. She also didn't remember to bring Kay's salad to the table until the main course was ready. Thus she became the rare recipient of a tip from me that was below 20%. Ya think we shoulda hit my first choice in Shiloh Grill? I'm thinking so.

Can I just point out that the ORIGINAL name is Redbeards Mountain Resort and Yacht club. As far as I saw there were no yachts to be found but I'd back up the resort part! Minus any palm trees but maybe a fruity drink or two! Love this place! I'm sure it's because this is my neighborhood watering/beering hole. Great bar food, especially the mozzarella log, I kid you not on the name!) and delicious wings (hmmmm honey bbq!) I can't even describe the way the loaded fries taste, especially after midnight.... You know how bars surprise you and have some rando food item that's delish? They have awesome and I do mean AWESOME german potato salad that I have tried to replicate at home without ANY success! I also enjoy any bar that has Blue Moon on tap, because I feel like those can be few and far between. I can't say much for the inside but they have remodeled the outside area quite extensively. It's a great place to sit in the summer and in the winter they have a tent set up with heat lamps. AND, they just recently added a fake fireplace for true ambiance. It's right next to the huge flat screen TV. Romantic.... So maybe the waitresses are a little grumpy at times, I can deal for the food and beer. And let me tell you, places don't do well in Pittsburgh if you can't get a special on SOMETHING! They have a special every single night of the week, niiccce! I'm into that!

Redbeard's made my bad night even worse. I know when I sit down at a bar I don't scream dollar signs but yet and still I expect to be treated with some kind of decadency since I am a paying customer. This was a truly crummy experience. Going to the bar alone is risky case in point with this review, I am use to being over looked but not treated rudely. I ordered a Carona and when I asked for a lime the bartender let out an audible sigh and then shoved a lime wedge at me on a napkin. I know my way around a bottle of beer and Carona's are served with a lime wedge stuffed into the bottle...but for whatever reason it was too much of a hassle. Also on my visit the bartender introduced himself and asked the names of the ladies who sat down next to me, even though they came in a full 20 minutes after I already been sitting there. He never once gave me his name or asked for mine that hurt my feelings. I want to add that I ordered 3 tacos and all of my taco shells were burned and the tacos had no salsa or sauce of any kind. I have burned many a taco shell and I know it would have only taken the cook a measly 30 seconds to reheat more shells but they served them to me in burned shells anyway. I have plenty of disposable income and I don't mind sharing it, but tonight I had to tip my bartender 2 centers and trust me it hurt me more than it hurt him.

Redbeards is the best bar in Mount Washington. It is modern, clean, and has fantastic food specials each day of the week. They have a good selection of beers and reasonable well drinks. Their interior is relatively spacious and they have a nice patio allowing customers to wine and dine outside.

We stopped in for an appetizer and some beer on a stupid hot and humid day. We were doing some sightseeing in Pixburgh and, of course, had to hit the incline. Staff was friendly - they have $2.50 Blue Moon on tap on Saturdays! YAY! We split the 3 dip app and it was really really good!

There are a few bars to choose from in Mt. Washington, I work up here so I go have a beer or two with lunch every day. I go to Redbeard's because the staff is friendly (Bridget and Pat. the bartenders during lunch time, are the best.), the food isn't expensive and it's really good! I leave there full and satisfied every time. I recommend the burgers, if you want a good burger in Mt. Washington don't go to Packs & Dogs. Redbeard's will give you a real burger not a little girl burger lol. Good selection of beer too!
(5)Kay E.
I disagree with Darren a little. The shrimp jammers were very good and I liked my Pulled Pork sammich. The service wasn't that great, though, but that would be my only complaint.

I don't give 5 Stars unless a place is perfect. I go to wing nights a lot; it's kind of a thing. This place did not disappoint. The wings were cooked brilliantly, the flavors were very unique (some better than other's but that's clearly a personal taste), and the over all vibe of this place was very welcoming. The only downfall to their wing night is that you must order 10 wings at a time. 10 wings is too much; a more acceptable number would be around 6. Most places I've visited do 5 to 6 wings per order; it's worked for Quaker Steak, hasn't it? So other than that odd down fall that shatter's my OCD like it was dipped in liquid nitrogen and smashed with a hammer, I was impressed by this place. Get the "Giddy Up" wings and " *something* Chili" wings. They are by far the most unique and the best in my opinion. See you around, Redbeard's; I thoroughly enjoyed going to your establishment.
(4)Brian C.
Excellent service and very attentive. Had the loaded fries and grilled chicken sandwich, which were both good. Solid bar food.
(4)Mark M.
Cool little Pittsburgh spot at the top of Mt. Washington. Park your car, walk along Grandview enjoying the view, and stop here for a cold one (alternately, to watch the game). Decent food, great service, and great prices. A friend who is a born and bred Yinzer (spelling?) says to me, "this is actually classy for Pittsburgh." I have nothing to compare it to -- but I had a great time and I think you will too.

Excellent food, expensive beer... $6 for a southern tier dipa

Oh, Pittsburgh - you may as well be in Iowa with the selection of late nite eats available. This is how we ended up at Redbeard's. *sigh* The menu is pretty extensive - so I got pretty excited at first. I wasn't in the mood for 'typical bar food'. I did enjoy the fried pickles - the pickle was nice and crunchy and not some slimy mush inside a fried shell. I ordered the grilled chicken kabobs. Simple and easy, right? The chicken was not grilled...at least not initially. What I deduce is that the chicken was pre-cooked (poached!) and then pulled out of the fridge, added to a skewer with raw veggies and thrown on a grill for 2 minues. The veggies were still raw when they were served to me. Onions, zuchhini, and green peppers - all veggies that are fine raw, but not in this case. The chicken was pale and rather grotesque looking as well. The rice pilaf was probably Uncle Bens 90-second rice pouch as it was bland and had that 'pre-processed' flavor. Unfortunately, I wasn't drunk enough to think the food was good. The late night bites quest in Pittsburgh continues.

Anyone who has ever been to Redbeard's knows that it will never be a five star gourmet eatery. Nor does it pretend to be. Instead, Redbeard's seems to bridge a weird divide of modern style and the unrepentant proletariat with something bordering on the urbane. It's barely perceptible, but it's there. And it seems to work. The menu here seems to be a compendium of all the items from every other bar you've ever entered, all congealed into one convenient list of options. Standard bar fare, true, but there's such a variety available it seems to somehow enhance the perception of its quality. And for a busy place, the service is commendable. So, come here for a late night jaunt, a kickass burger or maybe just because your cardiologist hasn't seen you in awhile. But whatever you do, give this place a go.
(4)Brad V.
Awesome location, acceptable beer selection, very good pub food. Clean and spacious inside, patio heaters make the outside seating area really comfortable. And it's about a block from one of the greatest city views in America! I'll definitely be back.

If this place could manage to NOT overcook shrimp, it's an easy 5 star. We go for the crablegs and you totally should too. They are cooked PERFECTLY EVERY TIME and piping hot. They don't slouch either, they keep 'em coming. We went for the all you can eat shrimp once, and every single piece was overcooked and chewy. Bummer. But hey, we ate them anyway; we were drunk, and hungry. We've gone back for other food many times and ordered the shrimp appetizer twice now, and it's always overcooked too. Whatever. Now I know what not to order. That's the only bad thing I can say about this place. The staff is friendly, the crablegs are awesome, the crablegs are good, and did I mention the crablegs? Would I come here just to drink...no. Too pricey just to sit and get bombed, but I will order a drink or two with dinner. They make a mean bloody mary and a damn good white russian. The appetizers are delicious (not the shrimp) and the desserts are pretty bangin' too. You can't go wrong with AYCE crablegs, and they never seem to be too busy on those days...I don't know why, but hey, more for me!
(4)Jessica M.
Ah Redbeards. I sorta kinda pretended like I lived on Mt. Wash when I was in college (pretty much spent the night at my friend's apt. there every night). Redbeards was always a staple. I can't remember if they're still on the menu, but the buffalo onion rings? PERFECTION. I am an extreme lover of buffalo anything, and onion rings, so this was the best thing someone could put on a menu, for realz. You have to love a bar where you can get stuffed hot peppers as an appetizer. So very Pittsburgh, so very awesome. Great atmosphere for grabbing some old ones and watching the [insert awesome Pittsburgh sports team name here] game, too. I can totally envision the high-fiving and chest bumping strangers-that-are-now-friends under the common banner of sports teams after we score a [touchdown, goal, homerun]. So to all the current Mount Washingtonians I say this - if you haven't taken a stroll over to Redbeards yet, DO IT NOW. You'll miss it if you're ever gone. *sheds a tear* *searches online for a place to get Iron City beer in Charlotte, NC* *googles a recipe for buffalo onion rings*

Another place that my friend Justin always takes me to. The food is pretty average, and the beer isn't cheap. It's a bar, and the staff is ok for what it is I guess. I just don't get it.
(3)Kate E.
Resort? Yacht Club? If this is what you are looking for you are definitely going to be disappointed (PS you are in Pittsburgh on a Mountain so I hope you aren't expecting this). I have never eaten here but the menu looks like typical bar food. I have drank her 4 times in 4 different parts of the restaurant (dining room, patio, bar and table in the bar). Service: Surprisingly service was good everywhere but the bar. We sat for 15 minutes before we got our drinks refilled at the bar. The male bartenders were the only ones to ask if we needed another drink. When I sat at a table the service was always fast. Drinks: Average prices. Decent Selection but nothing to off the wall. Atmosphere: This place is loud but not too loud (still can have a convo). Bright but not too bright. Normally a decent crowd not too tool-y. The patio has a fireplace with was clutch on chilly fall nights. I have always had fun here. Most of that has to do with my company (dates and friends) but some was definitely due to the bar. Solid Causal Bar

FRIED PICKLES FRIED PICKLES FRIED PICKLES...get it?! Love their fried pickles. Its truly about the only reason I ever go, is when I can't fight the urge of holding back from those fried pickles. All the other food is nothing but better than the average bar food. Good beer, average service, terrible fried mozzarella logs..yuck! But its the place to go on the mountain for those damn pickles.
(3)K B.
Our party of 4 stopped here while in Mt. Washington area. Overall Summary: Open late if you are in the mood for appetizers and drinks. Food / Drinks: Classic fried food; a few vegan selections; grilled kabobs was interesting but nothing stellar. Drinks were slamming; go for that. Service: Staff members are attentive. A little slow during game time, but that is to be expected.
(3)B G.
Went from never having a meal there that wasn't excellent to wanting my money back. New menu, and perhaps new cook?? Sorry to see it tank.
(2)A M.
I was here most often when I lived in Mt. Washington. The scene is pretty twisted. You've got some local thugs that may be visiting from Allentown and you'll also have just your regular types like me and other older locals. Sometimes you'll see a few folks in suits. The bartenders are pretty good most of the time. They used to have one guy named Dustin who had a pretty good record with beating the spread in football games. The food is surprisingly good bar food. I think their mozzarella sticks are the best i've had, and super healthy for you. And, by healthy I mean not physically but mentally. One last thing, it's neither a resort or a yacht club.
(4)Casey M.
Great bar food and atmosphere. I usually get the grilled buffalo chicken wrap. They have good beer specials and a unique crowd. Only problem I have is with the salad options.
(4)Lauren O.
solid food, good service.
(3)Tia H.
Well for starters I want to say I have no idea why the title says Red Beards Mountain Resort and Yacht Club because really the place is just called Red Beards. However, the address is correct. So, I love the food at Red Beards. Its a good place to go and eat, listen to music, play darts with your friends, have a beer, and even make some new friends just as long as their not the thugs from the bad part of mount washington. I frequent this place occasionally and I have fun. I especially go there when I have the munchies haha. The service is usually good and prompt. I never leave disappointed. I was there last night with a friend. This time around I was disappointed. We sat at the bar and the lady approached us. It was immediately noticeable that she was not in a good mood. I am not a beer drinker I am a wine person. Well note to anyone who orders wine never get it at redbeards. The merlot which is my favorite tasted like shit or better yet I should say really cheap merlot. Whatever, I let that slide. I mean really what did I expect. Anywhom, we asked her several times for our menu and finally she brought them. I ordered buffalo tenders with blue cheese a side of fries with cheese dip. My girlfriend ordered grilled chicken with broccli and mashed potatoes with a side salad and blue cheese. Once we gave her our orders she asked us for a card. I said we are paying with cash. She sighed loudly as if she was annoyed. Walked away and we never saw her again. 15 minutes later another lady brought our food. My girlfriend got her salad with her food and my tenders came with no blue cheese. That was fine we just told her and she apologized. So then all was well. We enjoyed our food with our cheap ass wine and listened to some music off the jukebox. Finally we get our checks. I notice I am charged 50 cents for my blue cheese which should've came with my tenders. Whatever, no biggie just take off the 50 cent. The new server goes to tell the old server about it and she looks at me like im a bitch. Its not my fault you fucked up but w/e. The new server comes back with my check. She apologizes. I ask her how the tips work and she tells me it will be split between her and the other server. I explained to her what happened and she tells me that the old server is actually the manager. Thats when I inform her that her manager is a bitch. I give her $4 and the tell her to give the manager a dollar. Basically Redbeards is still good for a cheap eat, apparently cheap wine, and a nice cold yuengling. I still say go there and eat. You'll have a good time. I just didnt appreciate last night and the service, but no big deal. I'll be back.
(3)John F.
Great food, prices, and drinks. Always very clean and great service!!
(5)Whitney B.
I like Redbeards. The patio is nice and provides a fun ambiance for Shiloh Street... Happy Hour specials are good. I've had their mozzarella sticks which are massive but good. I haven't gone here on a weekend night. Bartenders are nice and so are the waitresses. Only downfall: they need a website.
(4)Linda S.
Great Food and all you can eat crab legs on Mondays..... should be every day!
(4)Alyson G.
I never ever ever give one star. It takes a truly horrifying experience for me to do this so here goes. First of all, I love the downtown Redbeards so please go there often!! Now for the Mt. Washington location. I was given wings that were pink and bleeding. When I talked to the server, I was told that I was not the first person to complain about uncooked wings tonight. The server sent over the manager that told me the wings were cooked the entire way through and if I wanted them a different way, I should have said extra crispy. I have never sent food back a day in my life. I have two people at the table with me and they challenged the manager with me by saying the food was totally uncooked and bleeding. It wasn't like I ate 10 of the 12 wings, it was the first drumstick that I encountered and I was nervous about the flat wings as they sat half-eaten on my table. Just sharing what happened. :-( I was only here to watch the Steelers game, I will never be returning again. #shouldvestayeddowntown
(1)Kelsey R.
So I've never been a fan. I'd been to the downtown location a few times and was generally unimpressed, both my the food and the service. One night I ended up at the one in Mt. Washington because the wait at all the surrounding restaurants was insane. It was honestly one of the worst dining experiences of my life. First of all, the service was awful from beginning to end. We were left waiting for long periods of time, and when our server finally showed up, she was useless. She did not know the answers to any of our questions, and rather than finding out, she would just tell us, "more or less", and we would find out later that she was totally wrong. Our food was wrong, it tasted horrible, and the whole dining experience took HOURS - and that's no appetizers, and we ordered right when she came up. Tables around us got food before us... It had no redeeming qualities. I will never be returning.
(1)Lulú A.
The food is nice, but the service OMG! The server laughed at me since the first moment I asked for a virgin daikiry. He appered in my table with TAP WATER... When I complained he answered me: SECURITY IS RIGHT THERE... Couldn't believe my eyes. WILL NEVER BE BACK HERE.
(1)Antwain C.
Great atmosphere, excellent service, plenty of parking across the street. Variety selection of alcoholic beverages and Food.
(4)Jeff L.
Great bartender/servers. Very clean environment. Nice decor. Welcoming and fast paced lunch. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Very good. Nice big piece of chicken. Not processed. Like grandma would make for you. Good fries. All around decent experience. Would recommend to friends.
(4)Heather H.
Love coming to Redbeards! One of my favorite appetizers is the seared tuna. Crab Mac n cheese is awesome also. Pat the bartender makes my drink perfect and Chris the server is always a pleasure to have for a server. The patio is awesome!
(5)Laurie D.
We came here for my birthday! We were greeted respectfully, and the manager even shook my hand. Courtesy and kindness two thumbs up. We will all be back for your specials during the week. I can't wait! :)
(5)Jeremy L.
Super good food and lots s of tv's. More importantly they have lots of beers on tap. Overall success!

I remember having a great experience at Redbeard's with a group of friends, one of whom resides right around the corner on Grandview Avenue, back when I was first moving to Pittsburgh in late-2010. We dined indoors for dinner. The service was prompt, and our food was delicious. Today we decided we wanted to dine al fresco for lunch on Mt. Washington. It was the day of the Pittsburgh Marathon, so we knew there would be post-running crowds arriving in the early-afternoon, so we arrived around 11:45 AM. We initially were seated at Shiloh Grill until we were told that only a buffet-styled brunch was available (we wanted full-menu service for lunch and were irked there wasn't a sign indicating this at their entrance). We left and tried Redbeard's after finding some things that looked promising on their posted menu. We were promptly seated at the last available table on their patio and thought "Gee, what great luck!" A few other tables adjacent to us were empty, but we overheard staff members telling other prospective patrons that those tables were "reserved". It turns out a group of frat boy-like restaurant employees (who oddly didn't know their server based upon a conversation we overheard?) was meeting there for lunch, and then they decided they didn't need one of the two-seater tables after all about five minutes after the restaurant turned away two women who were interested in dining on the patio to save it for them. I thought that was very unprofessional to begin with.. We received our cocktails promptly. Both were good, albeit on the weak side. Throughout our dining experience we had three different servers, and none of the three seemed to be able to coordinate very well to determine who did what at what table. We waited patiently 45 minutes for our two wraps, and while the servers were apologetic their excuse of "it's taking so long today because we have to hand-write your orders shorthand for the kitchen because the computers are down" was questionable to me. Just be honest with us. It was apparent you were short-staffed (management's fault---certainly not yours) for what was going to be an above-average Sunday with a ton of tourists in town who'd saunter up to Mt. Washington and want to eat at the scant selection of eateries available along Shiloh. I'd actually have preferred to have heard an excuse of "some of our cooks weren't able to get here because of the road closures..." rather than it taking 25-30 minutes longer to receive two wraps than at comparable restaurants "cuz that's how long it takes to hand-write two wraps on a piece of paper". You were short-staffed due to management oversight. Admit it and move on. My sweet potato waffle fries were overdone, but my partner's steak fries were cooked perfectly. Our wraps turned out to be above-average in terms of taste and quality and worth the wait. When coupled with the entire experience, though, it wasn't worth $45 (including tip) for two wraps and two drinks. I did tip 20% because I felt it was unfair to penalize a server for something beyond their control. Ambiance? Trashy, to say the least. When my partner got up first to grab something out of my car and then a second time to use the restroom I had to keep shooing surrounding tables from trying to take his chair like vultures thinking I was some loser dining alone after being abandoned by his dining partner prematurely. The employee group dining near us was polite and took an unused chair when we were both seated after asking. Another party next to us waited all of 30 seconds after my partner arose to ask to take both remaining chairs. I indicated my partner was going to be returning to a chair I pointed at soon, but they could have the other chair. The guy proceeded to take his chair (the one I pointed to as being HIS chair), and I had to scold him to take the other chair instead. When our check finally arrived (after another above-average wait) no sooner had I put my credit card into the sleeve did a man come over and ask "Are you leaving?" I replied yes, and he asked "when"? We both stood up to leave, and another family ignored the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign and bullied their way past us to self-claim the table before we could escape the narrow patio exit. Such a shame overall because the wraps were delicious, but given the short-sighted understaffing and rude surrounding patrons who took to fixing their own seating issues because they also couldn't be served timely we had a miserable time and won't be back. I'm only giving them two stars instead of one because the wraps WERE good and the servers DID legitimately seem stressed and apologetic. We'll try Shiloh Grill instead at some point when they're not "doing buffet brunch only..." We know they're the sister location of Harris Grill in Shadyside and have always had reliably good service and good there for roughly the same price.
(2)Joe D.
Why do I hate Redbear's? Let me count the ways. If you aren't a pretty lady, the bartenders aren't interested. Not for small talk, a menu not for info on the food, not for info on a drink or beer, or for that matter, I couldn't even get the bartender's attention to pay my bill. But you can bet I had his attention when I left him 17 cents for a tip. My bar bill was $9.83 and I gave him a two fives, and I looked at him and said keep the change. If looks could kill I'd be down the street at Slater's Funeral Home. The food? Meh, I've had better, why this place does such a rockin business I'll never know. Stay out after say dinner service is finished as the clientele becomes, shall I just say....shady. There are much better places to spend your hard earned money.
(2)Lindsey M.
We absolutely LOVE the wings at Redbeards! They are quick, hot, and fresh every time. And, the wait staff are friendly and wonderful. This is a great place to watch a game or enjoy a night out with friends. Check it out next time you are on Mt. Washington.
(4)Craig W.
Awful experience. Mushy wings. Incredibly slow service. Took 1 hour and 10 minutes to get our second round of wings on all you can eat wing night. Funny tasting beers. The waitress had 10 tables from the back of the restaurant all the way to the front of the bar. She was running like crazy but did the best she could with the situation. It seems like the restaurant is terribly managed now. It used to be a great place for wings. I'm not sure what happened but I'll never go back.
(1)Blake J.
There is something about this place. It has numerous specials on a daily basis. They have great wings. If you are going to see the Pens play then this is a spot. They have a great staff.
(4)Whitney S.
I've been here a number of times, and each time the food and service have both been great. I really enjoy their wings in particular, and they have some excellent Pittsburgh sports-themed drinks.
(4)Mary C.
I'm glad we found this place as the burgers were great and done as requested - medium. The Bloody Marys were spicy, good, and pretty run of the mill. We ordered a small plate of 6 wings & drummies as an appetizer and would recommend the full plate! We had the original BBQ sauce, which was mild but with a ton of flavor. The service was quick and mostly quite good. The waitress didn't return after the food arrived and she didn't ask if we wanted more drinks. In this case, we didn't, so that was ok. I also thought the waitress was very unhappy that day, but otherwise, did an adequate job. Although it was lunch time, there were only a few filled tables inside and a few outside. It was a week day with few tourists, such as ourselves. As a side note, during our week in Greensburg and one day in Pitts, generally we found the food boring and tasteless. So, we were nicely surprised by these burgers and fries.
(4)Kaylee A.
Been here 3 or 4 times. Great little local bar to watch the game and have a beer. The outdoor seating is great in the summertime. It can be overpriced at times though. The food is pretty good too from what i remember.
(4)Nicole M.
All the food that my group had at Redbeard's was sub-par. It wasn't downright gross, but it was just your typical greasy bar fare. No one finished their meal. The service was good enough, but they give you a hard time about substitutions. For example, I wanted sweet potato fries as a side and was fine paying an upcharge for them, but they told me I had to order the entire appetizer and they wouldn't do a side, even for an extra fee. They offer outdoor seating, which is a plus.
(2)Stephanie P.
Redbeard's is a solid bar/restaurant on Mt. Washington. It offers up consistently good American bar food and is usually packed for any Pittsburgh sports game. They have unbeatable weeknight specials on drinks and food and the atmosphere is friendly and fun. The outdoor seating is wonderful for the summer, so if you want a laid back atmosphere, make sure you check it out.
(5)Jo L.
Food was okay... Typical bar fare. Solid beer selection. Patio is nice on a pleasant night. Service was poor. Food took over an hour. Manager wouldn't even comp the apps. Not a repeat visit.
(2)Hayley B.
I used to come here all the time when I lived in Mt Washington and almost everything I've had was great--this was also a few years ago. I hadn't been there in about two years but my boyfriend and I stopped in last Tuesday for dinner and a beer. We sat outside, they recently redid their patio and it's great. They now have a bar outside and almost every table is shaded by an umbrella which is great. I got a para dish called something along the lines of bruschetta chicken pasta, it was amazing. And the portion was huge. I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. The boyfriend had his usual cheeseburger, with onion straws on it and some type of wing sauce and he said it was awesome too. The service was great as well and our food came out quickly. I had a pumpkin beer complete with the cinnamon sugar rim and Drew had a dog fish head 60 minute. They also have a decent list of mixed drinks that sounded pretty tempting as well. Go here!
(4)David M.
Great food and Service. Ride up to the restaurant was incredible. Must go!! The all you can eat wings were great! The wait staff was very helpful in selecting great sauces.
(5)Dan G.
Fantastic! Not from around here yet felt right at home! Great wings and cold beer for awesome prices! This bar has such a cool balance of old local heads and a young crowd - it was so much fun! A must visit especially because you take that mountain cable-car incline thing up the hill to get there!
(5)Courtney C.
Redbeards was a brief stop for us in an overall brief trip to Pittsburgh. We were in the mood for a quick bite, nothing too fancy on our way to a show. We weren't in a hurry per se, but we did arrive with about an hour and a half to dine, so maybe Redbeards wasn't the best choice. Our waitress was scatter brained. Normally I would just think it was an off night, but due to the way another waitress kept coming to our table to make sure we were helped, I think that this is an overall state of mind for her. She was nice, don't get me wrong, but it was a little laughable. Food was really good. We went with two salads, the firecracker shrimp and fried pickles. Being out of town is the only excuse for so much fried food in one weekend. The fried pickles were pickle spears, which I've never had before but I liked them that way! The more pickle the better for me. The shrimp were decent too but were nothing more than shrimp fried with buffalo sauce and some ranch on the side. Overall the experience was pretty good and this would be the kinda bar I would hang out at home: pretty low key setting with lots of booze flowing.

I've only been there for all you can eat crab legs on Mondays.. Probably 5 times.. Super good legs.. And the price is reasonable.. The fries you get are fillers.. But really good.. Definitely worth a shot if you love crab legs..

The fish is pretty good not the best in the area. Hit Piper's Pub for that. My boyfriend does not recommend the rest of the food, it's mediocre. The service is odd. We wanted a booth in back and they said they couldn't sit us there because it was a five top so we had to sit at a table in the middle of the room. Been there many times, now that we live in beechview and not mt washington we won't be going back

I was hesitant to go back to this place as I had been years ago and it was your typical dive bar. Well I was pleasantly surprised as Redbeards has def. been upgraded. The dining area was really nice and we were seated in an outside tent that was heated in fact our table was right next to the fireplace. The had a great variety of draft and bottled beers. I went with the Wild Blue (blueberry ale) and Sunset Wheat. The menu had a nice variety from burgers to wraps and flatbreads. My date ordered a burger which was huge and looked tasty. I went with the buffalo chicken wrap and it was one of the best I have had. We both had the homemade chips as our side but the fries looked good. The service was quick too. Great place to go to watch a game.

Beautiful evening on the redbeard's patio. Great Dan Marinoita (with yummy pineapple) and major kudos to the chef on tonight's veggie: the roasted asparagus was to die for. Keep it up, Redbeard's! !

First time here, and the food is excellent. Our bartender, albeit sweet and very friendly, seemed rushed and took a long time to get to us even though she only had about 8 guests. Plus, we waited almost half an hour for a salad. Will try again.

After riding up the incline and taking some pictures of the beautiful Pittsburgh skyline, I walked over to Redbeard's to grab some grub. I wasn't overly hungry, but when I noticed the deep-fried dill pickles on the menu, I knew I had to try them. I've eaten various appetizers like this before, but they were always sliced pickles. Not here. You're getting the whole spear, which I thought was much better. Add a couple of pints of Dogfish 60 min IPA, the NL beating up on the AL in the All-Star game and baseball debate with gentlemen at the bar and I had myself a very enjoyable evening.

Kay was craving BBQ, but I couldn't find a BBQ place in the South Hills we hadn't been to yet that was open this past Sunday evening. We came very close to going to Shiloh Grill, but at the last minute, we decided on Redbeard's. Alas, Redbeard's doesn't have much of that sort of thing on their menu aside from a pulled pork sandwich that Kay ordered. Nonetheless, after a sweaty day of housework, we sat down in this boisterous bar and grill for some so-so eats. The Shrimp Jammers were our chosen starter. Filled with Monterery Jack cheese somehow, the shrimp is then encased in breading and deep-fried. Each one was so ooey-gooey that the cheese overtook the flavor and texture of the shrimp. While not terrible, the Shrimp Jammers certainly wouldn't warrant a repeat order on my end. If I had just ordered a cup of the chili and the french fries, Redbeard's would get an easy 4 stars. The chili came very close to being as good as my beloved mom's own, which still stands as my personal favorite. I barely detected beans; a positive trait to my tastes. The ground meat was abundant. The broth itself was thick and had just enough sting to it. Our meal was nearly redeemed by this and the golden, crisp, above average french fries. The medium-rare burger was dry, came off more like a well-done, and the numerous fixings did little to improve on it. This wasn't an abysmal burger but merely a step above edible. No desserts were on tap. The nearby ice cream parlor got our dollars instead. A review will be up soon. Service-wise, things were off-kilter. Our waitress kept forgetting to bring Kay a straw for her iced tea and seemed "inconvenienced" by our presence and requests. She also didn't remember to bring Kay's salad to the table until the main course was ready. Thus she became the rare recipient of a tip from me that was below 20%. Ya think we shoulda hit my first choice in Shiloh Grill? I'm thinking so.

Can I just point out that the ORIGINAL name is Redbeards Mountain Resort and Yacht club. As far as I saw there were no yachts to be found but I'd back up the resort part! Minus any palm trees but maybe a fruity drink or two! Love this place! I'm sure it's because this is my neighborhood watering/beering hole. Great bar food, especially the mozzarella log, I kid you not on the name!) and delicious wings (hmmmm honey bbq!) I can't even describe the way the loaded fries taste, especially after midnight.... You know how bars surprise you and have some rando food item that's delish? They have awesome and I do mean AWESOME german potato salad that I have tried to replicate at home without ANY success! I also enjoy any bar that has Blue Moon on tap, because I feel like those can be few and far between. I can't say much for the inside but they have remodeled the outside area quite extensively. It's a great place to sit in the summer and in the winter they have a tent set up with heat lamps. AND, they just recently added a fake fireplace for true ambiance. It's right next to the huge flat screen TV. Romantic.... So maybe the waitresses are a little grumpy at times, I can deal for the food and beer. And let me tell you, places don't do well in Pittsburgh if you can't get a special on SOMETHING! They have a special every single night of the week, niiccce! I'm into that!

Redbeard's made my bad night even worse. I know when I sit down at a bar I don't scream dollar signs but yet and still I expect to be treated with some kind of decadency since I am a paying customer. This was a truly crummy experience. Going to the bar alone is risky case in point with this review, I am use to being over looked but not treated rudely. I ordered a Carona and when I asked for a lime the bartender let out an audible sigh and then shoved a lime wedge at me on a napkin. I know my way around a bottle of beer and Carona's are served with a lime wedge stuffed into the bottle...but for whatever reason it was too much of a hassle. Also on my visit the bartender introduced himself and asked the names of the ladies who sat down next to me, even though they came in a full 20 minutes after I already been sitting there. He never once gave me his name or asked for mine that hurt my feelings. I want to add that I ordered 3 tacos and all of my taco shells were burned and the tacos had no salsa or sauce of any kind. I have burned many a taco shell and I know it would have only taken the cook a measly 30 seconds to reheat more shells but they served them to me in burned shells anyway. I have plenty of disposable income and I don't mind sharing it, but tonight I had to tip my bartender 2 centers and trust me it hurt me more than it hurt him.
