Main Street Tavern — Restaurant in Munhall

If yinz find yourself passing through Munhall,PA like we were you’ve simply gotta stop in at the local tavern on Main Street!

We stumbled upon Main Street Tavern and are thankful we did.

This joint has big screens to watch an assortment of sporting events, copious options in the beverage arena and an assortment tasty food crafted by their cook (make sure you check the schedule ~ you won’t be disappointed!).

Yinz know the show Cheers, right?!

It was evident that the owners of this local establishment know everyone who walks through their doors by name. The greetings we’d witness as folks arrived was cheerful and when it was time to leave they’d give a shoutout “see yinz next time!”

We bellied up to the bar and ordered two draft beers … what kind you ask … Yuengling of course!

Do you know the story of Yuengling; it’s one of the American Spirit.

It’s a tale of shared dreams, individual tenacity & an unwavering dedication to standards of quality. Like many American stories it starts amid the dreams of countless young immigrants looking for opportunity and emerges from the strength & will of one family determined to build their legacy in a new country. The story of America’s Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg Germany to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

As I digress, like a story being shared with new friends over a cold beer I’ll get back to our visit at Main Street Tavern.

We ordered draft refills to accompany the wings & hand crafted pizza we ultimately chose; the menu is filled with taste bud tempting & oh so many yummy in my tummy choices.

The crust of the pizza is sourced locally along with most of the food you’ll find on Main Street Tavern’s; it’s an impressive menu.

The meatballs are homemade & sought after by many (that’s what I gathered by listening to banter across the bar).

The rabbit food aka salads galore I doubt will leave you hungry by the portions I saw being served causing me to second guess my choice but not for long, those first nibbles into the perfectly cooked wings & crisped drumsticks drizzled in sauce had me wanting more.

The wing sauce was scrumpdillyicious & fingers were licked while our pizza was easily devoured as we shared this feast while bantering with the locals, staff and owners as college football played on the screens.

Folks were filtering in and out, some playing pool while others shared stories of their week. It’s was kind of neat spending time in a local neighborhood establishment, the vibe is unique and very much welcomed.

We learned that Main Street Tavern is a staple in the community and gives back regularly hosting an array of charitable events like chili cook-offs, Santa was just there for pictures with the kids, karaoke & local entertainment.

Ugh!

Now we had a problem of the most basic kind.

Being in town only for one night we couldn’t enjoy other items offered on Main Street Tavern’s savory menu and the company of friendly folks that shared our evening; perhaps our return trip east in the spring requires a delightful detour?!

So in review … this gal encourages you to divert yourself off the highway, head on over to historic Munhall (a borough in Allegheny County, PA on the west bank of the Monongahela river).

At Main Street Tavern we found ourselves warmly welcomed as we stepped inside, filled up on an assortment of vittles, beverages severed with a smile & locals who were happy to sit alongside us as we conversed about our travels across...

The atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. The food was amazing. We had wings, a steak hoagie, and onion rings. The Wings were cooked just right. The bartender and cook were very friendly. Drinks are not expensive. We met the new owner. He thanked us for trying his place out and even...

Bartenders allowed a belligerent patron to harass me and call me racist names and make sexist remarks to me with no more but an apology. They did not make him leave. I lost my appetite and respect for the place all together. Highly do not recommend if you are a...
