Piper's Pub - A Taste of the British Isles in Pittsburgh

Delicious, Hearty Food and Drink with a UK Flavor is the Right Recipe

Piper's Pub, the popular Pittsburgh bar and restaurant with a British/Irish flavor, is back after being forced to close for almost two months.

On February 6, extensive damage occurred to Piper's Pub dining room when water pipes in the ceiling burst. Renovations are completed and regular patrons packed their favorite establishment for its March 29 reopening.

In Pittsburgh's hottest bar and restaurant zone, East Carson St. on the South Side flats, Piper's Pub has survived the fierce competition for years by offering consistently high quality food and drink.

Being unique and filling a niche market has been the right recipe. In a town where 99% of the population lives and breathes Steeler football, Piper's Pub has become the place to watch soccer and rugby. With 4 large screen TVs it's packed for the World Cup and Rugby World Cup. Piper's Pub website offers a complete schedule for viewing the English Premier League, Champions League, Scottish Premier League, FA Cup, Euro 2008, and more at the bar.

Piper's Pub bills itself as "A Taste of the British Isles" and represents the best of traditional English, Scottish and Irish cuisine. This is a culinary heritage that has sometimes been the brunt of jokes, tainted with a dubious reputation, but if the fare served at Piper's Pub is any indication, the people of these island nations know how to serve a fine feast indeed!

Wisely, Piper's Pub has not posed as a cutesy Irish pub. We all know that kind of ersatz ethnic chain restaurant: waiters in big sombreros and waitresses in peasant blouses hustling around in a fake adobe setting. Luckily, no scampering leprechauns here; they cut the blarney. One neon shamrock in the window is as cutesy as it gets, and since less is more, the place succeeds in appearing to be a straightforward, middle class British pub.
