Loud, fast, and unapologetically fun, Bastard Bearded Irishmen blend Celtic folk, punk rock, and raw pub energy into a sound that hits like a whiskey shot. Their bagpipes, guitars, and fiddles ignite crowds across the U.S., turning every gig into a foot-stomping celebration. With multiple albums and festival appearances under their belt, they’ve carved out a loyal following who thrive on chaos and craic. It’s traditional Irish spirit - with electric guitars and attitude. Think Flogging Molly energy meets Pittsburgh grit.

Cork Harbour Pub is a laid-back neighborhood favorite tucked into Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville district.

Whether you're stopping in after work or settling in for the night, it’s a go-to for good pints and better company. No frills, just a solid Irish pub experience.

In 1794, General Yins of the invading Federal Army appropriated J. Gough's Tavern to be used as the quarters for himself and his senior officers. Up to then, J. Gough's Tavern was a well respected establishment, considered the finest purveyor of spirits and vittles west of the Alleghenies. Soon the conflict was settled and the Army returned east leaving Mr. Gough with unpaid tabs and an unfair reputation as an enemy sympathizer. He would never recapture his business nor his reputation. Two years later he died penniless. He was buried in a potters field in Greenfield. In 2016, descendants of Mr. J. Gough opened an establishment near the original tavern with a mission to restore his honor and serve the finest spirits and food west of the Alleghenies.

McFadden’s brings high energy and big fun to Pittsburgh’s North Shore, just steps from the stadiums. It’s a lively Irish-American spot where the game is always on, the beers are cold, and the crowd knows how to party. With a massive bar, DJ nights, and classic pub food, it’s a favorite for both pregame hangouts and late-night dancing. The Irish roots are there, but so is the Pittsburgh pride. Come for the craic, stay for the chaos.
