Squirrel Hill Cafe — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

This was my first and last night at this establishment as I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome by the Old curly blond heavy set lady with glasses didn't give her name but side eyes and acted like we didn't exist in the background of doing everything around us.

If she ever reads this review I want her to know that was extremely ignorant to go out of your way to ignore someone that's sitting right in front of your station of work, I understand that people get busy, I work service too however I know the difference when someone is busy and outright avoiding me whenever I ask for service in general.

Crazy how one person can ruin revolving business that quickly.

Thank you for your bare minimum, really felt appreciated👏👎

I just read the reviews past mine and they have a common theme going on about the bartender we met.

Also, You'll find no pride here from the ghetto trash bathroom to the mucky kitchen, people are getting sick in unclean environments such as this for the money we pay, we deserve better.

Save yourself the time you'll better...

The Cage is easily my favorite bar. I consider it the essential Squirrel Hill watering hole. If you work in the neighborhood you will find yourself in one of their booths at least once a week.

I don't smoke cigarettes anymore but when I did this place was like a magnet because they're one of the last remaining bars in the city that allow you to smoke inside. Be warned this is a real treat for some customers, but whether you like it or not you will leave the bar smelling like a chimney for sure.

I love every single member of the staff. Even if they're swamped they will give you the time of day, and they're really good at remembering your name!

The food prices are incredibly reasonable for the size and quality. My favorite regular menu items are the burger, the cheese balls, or the fish sandwich. The best kept secret is the 90cent tacos only on Monday night. I'll be going till...

One of pittsburghs worst kept secrets,this bar/restaraunt is known as "The Cage" by the many regulars who frequent it's hallowed halls. well ventilated & darkly-lit,The Cage boasts a good selection of craft beers & includes a small but cozy loft-like 2nd level with winding stairs. This is one of the few eateries that still allows smoking--a pro or con depending on your personal preference.either way,be aware that there's usually quite a bit of it going on. Kitchen open late & food is good. Pleasant staff,has tables & booths in addition to a long, classic bar with traditional stool seating. Very "chill" dark atmosphere with low lighting,digital jukebox,pinball machine & video poker. Mens bathroom is small & the door always slams loudly behind you. No dance floor or live music,just a great casual spot to grab a bite to eat or a beer...
