UPDATED 9/15 – Added Mullaney’s Harp and Fiddle in the Strip District.

We have been doing a lot of talk about best places to watch the Steelers outside of Pittsburgh – new places are being added to the Steeler Bar Map daily! But we wanted to find out where Pittsburghers in Pittsburgh watch the game. Here are the suggestions we have recieved:

Bellevue

Millvale

Lawrenceville

  • The Thunderbird Cafe – Robert says “The Thunderbird (in Lawrenceville) is a cool place with a good beer selection, a friendly crowd and a huge projection screen to watch on. Good times.”
  • Round Corner Cantina – Christina says “their kitchen opens tonight too! Mexican food, yummy cocktails + Stillers = <3 <3”

Mt. Washington

Station Square

South Side:

Greenfield

East Liberty

  • AVA – Sarah says “AVA for the taco wings”

Shadyside

Bloomfield

  • Matt says “anywhere in Bloomfield, especially at Captain Bloomfield’s sidewalk living room in the 4500 block of Liberty Ave”
  • Nico’s Recovery Room – Henry says “I dont live in the burgh anymore, but Nico’s recovery room is defiantly the best place to go in the EastEnd. For one thing you get to whatch the game whist rubbing elbows with people that have been fans since the iron curtain days, and there’s the free Isaly’s BBQ sandwiches (or other regionally appropriate fare) free at the half!”

Strip District

Greensburg

Greentree

Special guest Guinea West African Drum and Dance Ensemble will open the program.  The event will be emceed by Michael “Zombo” Devine.

The event will also feature refreshments courtesy of the Estelle S. Campbell Boys and Girls Club (neighbors to Leslie Park Pool), and light fare by Lawrenceville’s eclectic cafés and restaurants.  Several eateries will also host busking accordionists on the day of the event. There is a $5 suggested donation for the event.  Visit  http://www.accordionpoolparty.org/ for more information.
