James Street Tavern - Monroeville

We are obsessed with this place. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we haven't been able to dine in yet, but plan to go as soon as it is safe to! Their pizza, burnt wings, salads, are great and we haven't gotten a special we didn't like! Update: We have been able to dine in 3-4 times now. Love the dive bar atmosphere. Smoking is allowed but it isn't smokey inside the place. The crowd is mixed, different ages and races. Everyone is friendly. A lot of regulars. Kitchen closes at 11 or 12 and I was able to get fries and butterfly shrimp right before close and it was great. Pitchers of beer are a good deal.

We found this place less than a mile from our front door at the beginning of the pandemic and since then it has been a family favorite with great prices, nice sized servings and awesome food!! The service has always been awesome!

Awesome local bar! Still the best hard tacos and chips on Tuesday nights!

Oh my goodness!!! James Street Tavern has the most phenomenal Hot Sausage sandwich [w/ tater tots] I have ever had. Their bread is so soft with a crunch crust. The sauce does not sog the bread. The Sausage is a bit spicy with a kick but not over-powering. Their tater tots are crunchy and explosive when you bite into them. It's clear they change out their oils and season to perfection. The clientele is a mixed crowd. Older generation before 8pm on Friday Saturday. Younger crowds after 9pm. Very friendly people to be sociol with. Friendly bar staff and fair prices.

Visiting Pittsburgh for a night and this place was semi-close to the hotel. Dive bar atmosphere (love that) and the Thai chili wings were great. The 5 stars come from the people. Never been here before but the staff and regulars were super friendly and welcoming like I'd been coming for years. Great experience!
