The Smiling Moose
Premier Bar/Restaurant/ located in the heart of Pittsburgh's Historic South Side. Now in our 18th year of operation, we offer critically acclaimed cuisine, our own beer brewed in house and more! Bursting with salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, sliders and sides. As fans of pop culture, we name a lot of the food after movie characters.

The Jack Sparrow Burger is a fresh Angus beef patty topped with a cheddar pierogi, red wine caramelized onions, sharp cheddar, rum aioli and dressed red cabbage. You can also opt for Pizza the Hutt's Pizza Bread. Located on the second floor of the South Side bar, the small batch brewery has created the Smiling Moose IPA, 3 Beards Pale Ale IPA, Hazy Like A Moose IPA and more.

Visited for the first time over the weekend on sunday - had a blast. the decor is really fun and horror themed, and the drinks & food were great too. enjoyed a flavorful (big portion!) turkey club and their green tea shots were amazing as well. a good vibe with friendly staff. definitely looking forward to returning soon!

Very very rude. My husband and I left before even getting a drink because the bartender was so rude to me. Sad because my husband used to love this place and wanted to show me the appeal. I’m a bartender and would never treat someone that way.

This place. Wow. I spend money here almost daily and supported them over and over but yet they treat me sooooo poorly! Upper management is untrained and incapable at any decision making. Quiet possibly the worst management in all of South Side which is pathetic.

My bf and I discovered that they now have a full menu of many different foods and decided to try it. We tried the shrimp tacos, regular cheeseburger, and pasta salad, and I give all of it a 10/10. With so many concert venues going under I am glad to see at least one of my favorites still thriving. The food doesn’t even have to be good for me to support them, but it was awesome. would definitely eat here again

We went to the smiling moose with the intentions of staying for one drink and ended up staying the entire night because we knew we wouldn't find better service elsewhere. The bartenders, Nikki and Derek, were so great at their job and in working with us...! Nobody had an empty drink ever! worked very well with our bill and where

The food is great, free entertainment that's out there and the bartenders don't screw around!

I’ve been to so many great shows here - I love this venue. It’s small enough and gives an intimate vibe which is really good! The staff has always been friendly and the food is REALLY nice.
