    Bring back the fried pickle SPEARS!! As noted in several previous reviews, the fried pickle spears WERE great! Unfortunately, they have replaced them with fried pickle CHIPS.......which are very blah!

    Visit on an almost weekly basis and am usually very pleased with food and service, Brittany is a great bartender. This review however is entirely in response to the recent decision to implement a late night menu. Based on the menu and how the food on it looks they are not trying to attract anyone to eat here after 9 pm. Poor selections and high price to portion ratios are the biggest culprits. Throw in a lack of notice, no signs touting the new menu, and I am certainly disappointed. What is usually a go to spot in the North Hills at night may quickly fall off as an option. There is certainly the ability to improve and make this menu a good idea but for now a better idea would be to just close the kitchen.

    When we where asked to meet a friend here I was not sure what to expect. Parking was a little tricky but we made it after realizing it was in back. This place is really nice! The menu is full and interesting, offering many house originals. They even have a late night menu. The drink selction was also as impressive. I can not wait to try this place again!

    Last Sunday's Steeler's game -- sat at the bar and had great conversation with the bartendress about the different beers they have. Over 40 on tap and many more in bottles. Hamburger was fine as pub good goes. My experience is that the bar has better, more friendly service than out at the tables. But as local pubs go, the Ale House ranks quite well. Parking is funky as it is behind a car lot, but one visit and you know how to navigate it well. f8 and be there.

    Decent beer and prices. Food is half decent too. My only complaint is the parking situation. You have to drive past it and around the car lot then back in back. The main entrance is on the back of the building.

    I've been here a few times, most recently 7/9 (last night). Usually I just have beers and play golden tee, but we ordered appetizers this time. The loaded fries were good sized and covered with that yellow cheese sauce that goes on everything. The fries were kind of warm, but the inside was still a little crunchy. I'm not sure if they were completely cooked, but the consensus from the 3 of us is they weren't. The cheese sauce made them pretty slimy towards the end. Onto the beers! I'm pretty particular when it comes to cleanliness at the bar and this is the real reason my rating is low. They stack their glasses after they come out of the sanitize station and don't let them dry first, they have the black mats right in front of the draft system to stack them on. The bartender was pouring drafts and dripping all sorts of different beer on the black mats and glasses. Not cool or sanitary. My one friend ordered the same beer 3 times, so he had the same glass all night, not too big of a deal but again they grabbed his glass from the top where he drinks from and gave it back that way as well. It's just not the right way to do things. I uploaded a picture of the Bell's Oberon draft I received, I have never been served a beer with that much head on it. Nobody wants to go through 2" of foam to get to their beer. Will I go back? Probably, but I think I will start ordering bottles rather than drafts.

    Very nice! A small place; cozy, not crowded. Service was quick and friendly. I had the Guinness Fish Platter which was very good. The fish was moist and tender, the batter was tasty. I will be back.

    Great draft selection, beer specials, and bar food. Ideal place to watch football on sunday

    I ordered a beer and got a beer with a piece of someone's steak in it. I told the waitress about it and she said it probably fell in there when they were washing the glass. They didn't make me pay for that beer. The food is just bar food. Nothing special. They also didn't have soap in the women's bathroom or paper towels in the mens. I was really disappointed.

    Very pleasant service on a quiet weekday afternoon. They have a decent draft selection for 2015, but the printed menu wasn't updated, and we missed some great choices that were only on the chalkboard. I ordered a glass of the Specialty Pinot Noir (I know, don't judge me for going to an ale house and ordering wine, just keep reading), and it tasted like vinegar. I politely told the bartender this, and she did not think twice before asking me what I would like instead. No hassle. So, I went with the Sierra Nevada Summerfest. All good there. She was super nice. We ordered the nachos with chicken, and I thought they were good for bar nachos. Don't expect gourmet cheese and free range chicken at a normal bar. Standard chicken, onions, olives, jalapeños, and a nostalgic throwback to good old-fashioned nacho cheese. We destroyed that plate after an afternoon of kayaking. I'd like to give this place another try to get a handle on some of their main dishes, and the service will definitely get me to come back.

    We love this place. We've only had a bad experience one time and I think it was because the waitress was brand new. Great beer selection and the food is great. Their buffalo sauce is HOT, that's the only thing I don't recommend unless you like hot sauce that makes you sweat.

    This is one of our favorite local joints. Don't make the mistake that my"better half" made - they won't tell you the mystery beer...even if you ask nicely. They MAY confirm or deny your suspicion after you order and taste it. But please don't ask "what's the mystery beer?" Food is solid. Have never had a bad meal here. Even when we've gone with others who have ordered the boring spinach/artichoke dip, it's been tasty. I guess if pressed, the bathroom in the winter is chilly. If you've had enough good food and beer, it's not an issue!

    Go for the beer but don't order the food. When you see the outside it looks like it's a very nice establishment. On the inside it's a basic bar. I ordered a chicken salad and my hubby ordered wings. The wings came out hot with a dry Cajun rub. They were middle of the road taste wise. Not bad but nothing that would stand out. They had a small kick o them at the end. I had ordered grilled chicken for my salad but they brought me crispy, breaded chicken. There wasn't much chicken, just large pieces of iceberg lettuce. I definitely wouldn't order it again. I ordered the Turtle Cheesecake for dessert. It was the best part of the meal. How can you go wrong with chocolate and caramel??? What I would like to suggest is that they come up with a dress code for the waitresses. Ours looked 12 but I know she had to be at least be 18 to serve beer. She was wearing a shirt that only covered a third of her bra. Not. Even. Kidding. The other waitress had pants on so tight that you could tell she wasn't wearing underwear. I really don't want to see or think about my waitresses' underwear. If I did I would go to Hooter's.

    Went for a Sunday afternoon lunch and it took 10 minutes to get someone to come over to the table...then another 15 to even order. We wanted a quick lunch and figured we would try the place based on good reviews. Maybe if we sat inside the service would have been better, but you would think with so many tables outside that they would be use to serving guests out there. When the order finally came out it was wrong. We ordered onion rings as a side, which they upcharge for...but got french fries instead. By the time the onion rings came out we were done with the sandwich. They were sure to keep the upcharge on the bill. Very disappointing...

    Good food and good specials and great beer selection!! We enjoy craft beer and found the Wexford Ale House though an online search. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Parking is a little difficult to find the first time there, but once found, easy. We are repeat customers and will definitely be back again. Have recommended it to friends!

  • Mila W.

    Great beer selection good pub food but we seem to get the same waitress every time. We never get her name because she doesn't give it to us. A greeting would be nice instead of "Do you know what you wanna drink" 3 seconds after we sit down.

    Pittsburgh Bound! Part XIV (For Part XIII, go to yelp.com/review_share/19… ) I've driven past this place a billion times visiting my friend and never went in. Today was the day. With it being Labor Day Sunday, the place was empty which was good, because I could imagine if it was busy, parking would be at a serious premium. It looked like there were only about 30 spaces shared with a used car lot. I don't drink beer, so my review is solely on the food, however their beer selection was very impressive and I could see how this could be a popular place especially during happy hours. The menu is fairly diverse which is as to be expected from your normal beer bar, and typically these kind of places pride themselves on burgers so I opted in. I ordered a black and blue burger with a side of fries. There was nothing about it that was all that great. I'm a blue cheese fanatic, and theirs is really good, but the burger itself wasn't anything special and the fries were a little too greasy for my tastes. I'm sure if I was lit up like a candle on booze, and ordered this around midnight, it would be the greatest thing I've ever eaten, but it wasn't the case. Again, I could see this being a pretty cool place to hang out at, especially on their outdoor patio during the summer/fall, but otherwise, it just felt like another bar. (For Part XV, go to yelp.com/review_share/Gu… )

    Fried pickles and french onion soup are really great. I orderd the stucffed chedder burger with onion rings. The burger was just okay very small the rings were good. My husband got the ale house chicken salad. Very big and filling very good. Homemade bleu cheese dressing was good. Southern tier warlock pumpkin ale my husband really enjoyed.

    I have been here multiple times with my husband because their craft beer selection is great. They get an A+ for that. However, they get a big fat F for service if you aren't sitting at the bar. We had about 12 people meet there for a happy hour. We all sat at seperate tables but pulled them near each other so we could talk. After being there for a couple of hours, I asked for my check. The waitress had already brought a seperate check out for one person in group and he had left. Instead of saying anything or explaining the situation, she got her manager and her manager brought the check over for our entire group combined. First of all, no one ever asked if the rest of group was finished and ready to leave. I had asked for my check only, and reminded the waitress exactly what I had had to drink. The manager told us their computer system won't let them split checks for parties over 5 at one table. I told her, "but, we have three separate tables. The waitress could have kept track of them separately." She said it didn't matter. I said, "another member of our party already got a seperate check and paid and left." She replied with, "well, the waitress must have just guessed." Um, what? So basically telling me that your computer system will not let you split checks is not actually the case. I'm fairly certain that the check for our full table that she brought out to the rest of us included the stuff that the member of our party already paid for - effectively charging us twice for that portion. So we all gave her 12 debit cards and asked her to just split it evenly. Apparently the computer system is capable of this. I think the problem is that the staff isn't capable of any actual thinking. I will never, ever come back here for a work happy hour. I also might not even come back any other time. There are plenty of other places with a good beer selection with much better food.

    BJ's nose can sniff about great beer in any conditions. That is how he found Wexford Ale. They have a ton of beer choices, which is great for BJ. On a late Saturday afternoon, the place was about half full. Good for us, we got a high top table with excellent view of the big screen TV's. Service here was very prompt and friendly. I got a Black and Bleu burger with bacon. It was perfectly cooked and so delicious. BJ got a Turkey Bacon Swiss on sour dough. Both sandwiches were very good and the fries here are awesome. This could easily become our new favorite hang out.

    I went here for lunch with coworkers one day to celebrate someone's birthday. This is pretty much a regular bar with comparatively nice bar food. It features a long list of beers that are available (which we did not sample due to it being the middle of a work day) and a two-sided single page menu with appetizers, sandwiches and burgers. While the menu is certainly a bit narrow in options, whatever you order, you will get a massive meal that even a long trip to the gym won't work off. I can safely say the cheesesteak hoagies are delicious (three of us ordered it) and the burgers are enormous (one person ordered one of those). The fries are also wonderful! The place was fairly empty when we went (since it was the middle of a work day), so we had our own choice of seating. Only real complaint there is that only one side of the bar features any real lighting; the other was extremely dim and unwelcoming. I didn't watch what was on TV since I was with others, but as others have said, there are plenty of them around the bar. Can't say I would go out of my way to go back - especially because a few older men in particular acted as if they had the run of the place and no one on the staff bothered telling them they were interfering with others' abilities to enjoy their lunch - but it's an ok place if you're in the area.

    Best. Bar. Ever.... In the North Hills! Majority of this review is due to the awesome bartender Lauren. Well, that and the amazing beer selection. I highly recommend coming in when Lauren is working... Best service at a bar I have ever seen. It's Friday night, the place is packed, and I have yet to see someone with an empty beer. Hidden gem!

    This is a hip little spot with an incredible beer selection that is always changing. Great atmosphere with lots of TVs, always crowded (just the way I like it)! For those of us who have business in the North Hills or live outside of the city, I thank my lucky stars for bars like this one. See you there!

    Every place has an off night and it seems we experienced one (I previously left a bad review. See below). The owners contacted us and truly wanted to understand what happened and invited us back with a gift certificate. We went back and it was a completely different place. The food was great, beer, was great, and service was great. I'd still like to see a more creative menu, but what they do offer is really good. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and I could actually taste the wing sauce and blue cheese (a rarity). My wife had a burger that was cooked perfectly. Special credit should be given to the bar tender. I didn't catch her name, but she is awesome. ---------- An ale house in a more upscale neighborhood... one would expect good service, good beer selection, and an interesting menu. Well, one out of three ain't bad. Wait. Yes it is. All this place has going for it is the beer selection and you can get that just about anywhere these days. The menu is bland, the sandwhiches are dry, the wings are under cooked, and the salad is frozen. My wife even found a piece of steak in here beer and they acted like it was a common thing. That is disgusting. They acted like they did us a big favor by not making us pay for it.

    This place is fantastic. Great food and beer selection, TV's to watch sporting events, as well as an area outside in case you just want to enjoy some good beer and or food away from the tv area. As a prior poster said, this really is a hidden gem. The service is also great.

    This...was not good. It was...bad. BUT, there's a bright side! Tons of good beer selections. So while you're sitting at the wobbly table, muscling through the gristle in your steak salad (as my wife did), you can slowly kill the pain of the experience by drinking your weight in some really good beer. Parking is...confusing. The parking lot next to the place isn't theirs. Theirs is practically inaccessible in the back. We parked across the street at a medical center that was closed. It was the best parking spot around. Possibly my review is biased low because we sat next to a group of people who were loudly and drunkenly extolling the virtues of running from the police when you drunk-crash your car into a tree, because by the time the police find you, you're no longer drunk. Toss in a few eff bombs per second about police...and how many police you've ever beaten up at once...and you have delightful background banter to frame a bad visit to a crappy 'restaurant'. If this was a pub review, I'd toss another star or maybe even two on it. It's a fine pub. Just don't eat there.

    The food was very good and so were the drinks. I think that it was a bit overpriced but not too terrible. We went when it was nice outside so we sat outdoors, it was nice minus the fact we were facing Rt. 19 which is so busy. The waitress was ok, but could have been more attentive. But overall, I would go back.

  • L S.

    food was average and atmosphere was good, but it all comes down to service. we seated ourselves per the sign and waited. it took awhile before anyone came over and she looked less than thrilled to see us sitting there. can you tell us about this beer? nope. have a question on this menu item. sorry. all i can tell you is what color it is. very helpful. she brought our check without asking and when we asked did she mind if we stayed for a few beers she looked annoyed. came back 5 mins later to ask us to cash out so she could leave. we stayed & talked awhile but nobody ever even looked our way again. i'm sorry but service this bad will mean no second chance for this place even if the food & atmoshphere are decent. there are other choices in this neighborhood.

    This is a good spot for the beer lover. The selection of tap and bottled beer is exceptional as usual. I enjoy meeting up a buddy for a late night beer there after the kids are in bed. Not a very large place by any means but there is outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The do fill up growlers so if you have one, bring it in case you have something you like. It is a little more laid back but sometimes a few people don't know how to drink the beers (slow down with higher percentages) and they can get a little loud or out of control. We had a couple last night bumping into my buddy (while we sat at the bar) several times throughout the night and were very loud and obnoxious. Obviously, this isn't the bars fault, but it can happen for those who just toss them back and don't think about how much alcohol is in the beer. I will absolutely be back there again as I really enjoy this place.

    This was my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time I went there with my wife on a Saturday afternoon to watch the Penguins game. This is a great place to watch any kind of sports, there are TVs everywhere. My wife and I both loved the food and the service was great. They have a huge selection of draft beers. We decided to try this place after hear Mark Madden talking about it on the radio. The second time we brought friends, and I have to say I was kind of disappointed. We even ordered two of the same items. The buffalo Mac and cheese and wings. It just didn't seem as fresh and didn't seem like much care was taken by the cook. It was almost like the wings were reheated from the day before. When we first got there there was only one female barmaid so we had to go to the bar to get drinks and take them back to our table. The barmaid looked like she just rolled out of bed, threw a sweatshirt on, and came to work. A short time after that, a cute little waitress showed up and gave us great service the rest of the time. We really appreciated her after having to deal with the rude barmaid. I saw this barmaid do one of the most inappropriate things I have ever seen at a bar/restaurant. I'm not sure if she had a bloody nose or what, but she had like a napkin sticking out of her nose for at least 20 minutes. I mean like a whole napkin. Unbelievable huh? She was even tending bar the whole time while this napkin was dangling out of her nose. With all of that being said I will probably give them another chance because the first visit was so good.

    I enjoy occasionally stopping in here. The service is average, the beer selection is enormous and the food is tasty with large portions. They run specials that help keep me coming back. I do not go out of my way to stop here but I enjoy my experience when I stop. Recommended.

    This was the second time I had been at the Wexford Ale House and it was just OK. The first time I had been there was in the summer time - we sat outside and had some specialty beer and appetizers. Tonight I met a friend for dinner. I ordered the Mediterranean Vegetable Wrap. I only ate half of it - wasn't anything great. Half of the menu was blacked out with a lot of unavailable items so that definitely limited what you could order. I'm not in the Wexford area very often, and I probably look for another place to go before I thought of this place again.

    This is one of my favorite places. The beer selections is fantastic and always changing. The food is pretty good, but not great. The prices are not bad for what you get. Overall, a great place to sit down and have a beer and some grub.
