Since the Old Days
Old-School Pittsburgh, Pouring Strong
For decades, the Highland has been the kind of place that doesn't change — and that's exactly why the regulars keep coming back. A real West View tap room: charming atmosphere, family feel (no children), great food, and just the right amount of grit.
The fryer's always busy, the jukebox is cool, the games are on, and the bartender remembers you. Pull up a stool, order an ice-cold Lions Light, and you'll understand why reviewers say "if you've only been once, make sure you go twice — you'll be hooked."

What the Regulars Say
Every line here is verbatim from a real Google review.
“Old school Pittsburgh. Charming atmosphere, family feel (no children), great food, and just the right amount of grit. After 2 years of being away, I was happy to see they're pulling through the pandemic, and still serving wonderful food. Wings, monster burgers, etc. If you've only been once, make sure to go twice. You'll be hooked.”
“Good people, decent drink specials and EXCELLENT FOOD! Highly recommend the Monster Burger special on Saturdays, Taco Tuesdays, Fish Sandwich special on Fridays, and Wings Specials on Monday and Wednesday. The wings are fantastic (great flavors, meaty and cooked perfectly).”
“The Highland Bar is such a nice place to kick back and relax. They have such awesome cooks the food is always good I have never had a bad experience. I have to give a shout out to the bartenders always on point at their busiest times you can see they always greet everyone when they can with a friendly face especially melonie she takes such good care of everyone at the bar and the tables.”
