FAN! I don't live in Pittsburgh, but I frequent it for work. The last time I was up there everyone said, "where do you want to go for happy hour?" and while asking the out-of-towner may not be the best idea, i used Yelp and found Obey House. Other than the name (which is an inside joke between me and another friend) I thought it was a perfect dive bar in the best location from my office. Turns out I was absolutely right. Don't be scared by the "I might die in here" exterior. Obey House is really homey and comfortable inside. Their food is awesome and extremely well-priced. I think it was a Wednesday when we were there and it was $0.75 Taco Night. I have never had a better taco from a north-of-the-border establishment. The service is excellent. All of the bartenders are wonderful and nice. They're fast and, most importantly, cheap. I hear that it doesn't get too crowded in there so when our group of ~15 showed up we immediately took over the bar. And what's better than having a neighborhood bar full of all the people you know? Inside there are two areas - a bar area and (I think) a seating area. There's karaoke & open mic nights, a big screen tv, and lots of other things to pass the time. There are jello shots and jello pudding shots for like $1 a piece! Did I mention the $0.75 tacos? I really really like this place and I'll probably be back next time I'm up in PIT.

Holy smokes! I'm from NYC by way of South Carolina and I found this bar to be very charming in a redneck kinda way. Decent prices, fun crowd and good music. However, I have to take two (yes, two) stars off due to the smoke. A total health hazard. Just coming in after learning my father has emphysema made it too real. They need to get some vents, better fans and open some windows.

What are the chances that my friend is right? She has been pleading with me to to come to this place for the longest time so, I caved. I'm so very very very glad I gave in. We head on over and pull into a sea of parked cars. That's really the only way to describe it because it's truly a mess that looks like a bunch of drunk folks attempted to park and rolled on into the bar. When I first walked in, I noticed there were a few empty seats at the bar which is where I thought we would be sitting. My friend motioned me to keep following which led us into a crowd of folks cheering on the brave soul at the karaoke mic. We found a nice spot and watched the stellar performances which were hilarious. I LOVED IT! There was some really good conversation had by all. The patrons and servers were soooo friendly. I thought it was pretty cool that a couple folks went out of their way to introduce themselves and invite me back again too. I felt the hunger coming on and didn't want to turn into Madea so we ordered some mild wings with blue cheese and celery. They were very good and they cook them right (no breading here and crisped up just right) because I hate a wet willy wing. Lol Now, I need to share my dislikes: Smoke...my clothes still reek and ohhh, my lungs but what to do? There weren't enough servers to manage the crowd. We did wait a while to place our food order and the wait for our bill was a long one. I mention these things to give you the best description of my experience as a real Yelper.

I enjoyed a BBQ chicken salad & a long island here. The salad was huge and I was only able to finish 1/4 of it.. not kidding you. The menu was a nice size & had many different options. The bar itself is very laid back & full of regulars. Surprisingly for the area it is not a dangerous at all. The front is more of a dive bar & in the back they have multiple dining tables as well as a giant screen for playing wii. When I went on Tuesday, there was a special for around $6-- hot or sweet sausage sandwich with chips. A patron next to me ordered it and it was a nice size. They have karaoke on Saturdays! I'll have to head back soon.

Excellent atmosphere and food. The prices are just right for drinks and food. Highly recommended. Friday is karaoke night and wing specials on Saturday. They have specials everyday but Sunday.
