    I have never been in this area of Pittsburgh, but ended up in the neighborhood and saw Tavern 51 listed in Yelp with great reviews. My date and I decided to roll the dice and give it a try. Honestly, this was an exceptional meal! The bar was neighborhood folks but VERY welcoming to us. The decor is straight-forward/basic, but the food was awesome! The pierogies were perfect... grandma-homemade good. My date had the pepper-encrusted salmon and it was cooked perfectly! She is a picky eater, and she LOVED it. ...and the prices were incredible! If you are looking for a great meal at a non-chain, friendly local place, I recommend you find your way to Tavern 51.

    I had so much fun at Tavern 51! The drinks prices were very reasonable. The bartender was fun and attentive. They have a great patio out back. The decor is nice and the place could not be cleaner!

    Got to tell you all, the food here is really very good. Had the pork chop special made with asiago, all I can say is wow!!! Met the owners, Karen and her chef husband Tom - very nice people with a knack of making people happy. The atmosphere here is much like a neighborhood bar, although it is very neat and clean and not the usual noise inside. I'll be back and you will not be disappointed.

    So, I work on the radio and I drive EVERYWHERE from gig to gig. When I drive down Rt 51, I make it a point to leave myself "enough time" to stop & eat at Tavern 51. Want a steak hoagie that isn't steak em's? You're in luck, I ordered mine medium rare and it was! I went local the last time I was there and had perogies. They were exactly what I expected in Pittsburgh, great! The only reason they get 4 outta 5 is; although they list the kitchen hours as: Mon. - Thu. 11:30am til 10:00pm Friday 11:30am til 11:00pm Saturday 4:00pm til 11:00pm Twice I've arrived mid-afternoon and had to wait for the cook to arrive. PS. I think the cook & afternoon bartender may be husband & wife (maybe the owners), but that's speculation.... They NOW accept credit cards, but NOT Discover. Last, but not least in my book... They serve COKE! Jack & Diet Coke is a 1000 times better than Jack & Diet Pepsi! Nuff said! Dig

    Excellent food and what a value! My wife and I stopped by after a local community meeting at the Whitehall municipal building. In true Yinzer fashion we ordered pierogies as our appetizer. They are sauteed in butter and delicious. My wife ordered the steak sandwich and was pleasantly suprised by how tender the meat was because it was a flat iron style, not shredded like a Philly Cheese Steak. I ordered the orzo pasta in a homemade chicken broth and it was excellent. This chef has taken comfort food to the next level! Contrary to some reports, Tavern 51 accepts credit cards (Visa or Mastercard) now. This is quite a find. My wife and I ate for under $50 including tip and two glasses of wine.

    Tavern 51 is a very warm neighborhood restaurnat and Bar. The Fish Sandwich is awesome on Friday's very large but very light. I love the stuffed pretzel with cheese wrapped in bacon, Yummo! Another favorite is the rosetto poppers , so creamy and spicey, delicious! My daughter really enjoyed the zuchinni parm on the app list, some of the very best she ever tasted . The owners and staff are very friendly and just good people to be around. So people if you get the chance give them a try.

    The storefront is unassuming Walked in. It is clean. "mom" runs the bar. She quickly serves me a yuengling black and tan. It is quiet but big enough to accommodate a rowdy Steelers crowd. I order a bacon wrapped pretzel. The man next to me receives three bags of food and finishes his glass of Chardonnay. There is a menu for martinis, and a rack of domestic beer like Pittsburgh's own Red Eye and The Duke. Other local lites are available. No Stella, but you can get Spaten. It's a Steelers bar with top shelf vodka. Bacon wrapped anything is awesome. Can't wait.

    Note 1: CASH ONLY. You'll see an ATM as you walk in. Note 2: Their kitchen closes an hour to an hour and a half prior to the listed closing time. On Friday evening (the 10th), I found myself with some money (payday!) and in the car of my girlfriend who picked me up from work and reluctantly agreed to eat here before she whisked me away to her place wayyyy out in the boonies. Yes, I was kidnapped, willingly This unassuming place (it looks like a renovated home and have no idea how long its been here as it took a while for me to notice it), is as noisy as Kaib's in Mt. Washington! Man, the neighborhood locals (mostly people in their 40's-50's this trip) were feelin' good and loud on a Friday night. Big screen TV's showed college football games with people ooohing, ahhhing, and essentially whoopin' it up. Now, because it is somewhat rowdy, it may not be the kind of place you want to go to, but if you choose not to go, you'll possibly be missing out on some dandy food. Mostly serving typical bar fare (think burgers, sandwiches, wings, etc.) Tavern 51 also offers more upscale items such as Chicken Marsala, Vegetable Orzo, Pepper Encrusted Salmon, and Shrimp Scampi (!), all prepared by the mysterious Chef Tom. Eschewing the gourmet, Darren the Burger Slayer advanced his campaign. Their 8oz. Black Angus Burger, served with the best homemade potato chips I've had to date, and a pale-on-the-inside, crunchy, cold dill pickle (which means it ruled) , was more than a match for my appetite. However, I felled the ground beefbeast like Tessaro's and Cheeburger Cheeburger's before. It's hearty, charred, and checks off all the boxes in terms of burger quality control. It was just what I needed to finish my week. Please, golf claps are in order for this fine specimen of burgerdom. You won't be left wanting. I tasted my date's BBQ Salmon Salad and began to regret my life's vocation as hunter and killer of burgers because it was that tasty. The salmon might as well have been ice cream, because you guessed it, it melted in my mouth (how many ways can you say it?). The viniagrette it was dressed with took me to Heaven faster than a... Whoa! Let's keep it PG. How could I forget our pre-meal munchie? They call it the Cheesy Bacon Pretzel Stick, which is a phat Sahs Syde-style doughrod that is stuffed with cheddar cheese and bound in bacon. Horseradish mustard is supplied for dipping, but this newfangled thing really didn't need it. They split it in two for us. Awww. Or as Pittsburgh girls say, "Oooohawwww." Ya gotta hear 'em say it. We also shared a slice of apple pie, which they get from Signature Desserts in Castle Shannon according to the waitress. That's usually their only dessert offering, but we were told that they sometimes have homemade cheesecake on their menu. More than decent food + good service (from the excellent Renee)=A place you need to keep an eye out for if you're ever on Clairton Blvd. The menu keeps it from being just another dive bar. Raise a pint for Chef Tom, whoever he is.

    Small bar / eatery, family owned. Cash only. Really nice people. Doing something different with their menu. Had a flat iron steak special that looked good, but we honestly never made it past the appetizer menu. Was going to get a steak sandwich which the people next to me at the bar were eating, but we ended up with the rice poppers - risotto with finely minced jalapeno then fried. Even the ranch that it's served with works. Cheesy, crispy, creamy goodness, hits all the right notes. I think it demands pancetta or bacon, but then everything does. The bacon wrapped pretzel log with cheese was just OK for me, but my brother liked it. The mustard it was served with wasn't overpowering, which is often a problem. Finally, stuffed banana (frying) peppers with tomato sauce. A great ground beef with cheese another layer of gooey mozzarella and some parmesan on top, broiled and covered in a nice light tomato sauce. Really excellent. Sounds strange, but with the exception of the pretzel, reminded me of the kind of food I got in Rome at bars there. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
