Beer Nutz of Ohara

We eat here often when we need a simple dinner or lunch that is not going to break the bank. The food is good for bar-​type fare (it isn’t gormet cooking, but better than places like Applebee’s, etc.). We are fans.

Like others, I went here with a Groupon. My experience was very different than other. There were four of us.
The tap beer was flat and not very cold. We switched to bottles. When one of our table asked for LaBatts — they were out. Also, no Molson? Except when you walk by the bottle shop, they had cases of these beers. Very odd for a place with «Beer» in its name to not have some basics stocked.
There was no beer list, so instead of being able to explore craft beers, I had to lean on old favorites. Why did I not ask the waiter? Because when asked to recommend a light lager, he went with Negro modelo? Not exactly off the beaten path.
We were told Brooklyn beers were on special, but they don’t have brooklyn brown or lager?
They were out of wings (Wha?!).
I don’t mind waiting for food, but I do expect with a long wait that when it arrives is will be warm. Not last night.
My dinner, pulled pork, was fine. My fries were cold. Everyone’s fries were cold.
Someone got the rachel that was made with two grilled cheese sandwiches for the bread. Except the one «grilled cheese» sandwich had maybe a half slice of american cheese?
The greek turkey burger was obviously (bad) food service patty.
You can get a better hot dog (at least it would be warm) at Sheetz.
Some of the food prices are good (the massive reuination burger seems like a great deal at $ 10), but other items weren’t, especially served cold.
In regards to ambiance — meh. Not great. For a sports bar, I expect more than three flat screen tvs.
The staff was also meh. We had to wave our waiter down a few times, and we tried and failed to waive him down another few times.
They were full but never crowded. There seems to have been a number of regulars and also a few of us «grouponers».
Considering that I have a number of options that are closer, that execute the beer, bar food and sports ambiance better, I don’t see any reason to go back and give them another shot. If they were the only game in town, I might.

Beer Nutz lives up to its name. There’s beer. Lots and lots of beer. All different flavors and varieties of beer. Beer as far as the eye can see.
Other than beer, there is a food menu that offers a variety of typical deep fried bar food and other things such as salads and some sandwiches. Then there are the deep fried sandwiches. I love places that find creative ways to deep fry things that shouldn’t or don’t need to be deep fried (think Oreos), but I really didn’t enjoy my deep fried hoagie as it was bland. My companions’ food left a lot to be desired as well. I had been there one other time before and I remember the food being the same exact way.
Yeah, I’d probably go back and try a bunch of different beers if I had someone else driving, but for now, I can think of a dozen other places I’d go before Beer Nutz.

The service makes up for the food quality and prices… but just barely. I’ll go back if someone else is buying (and i’ll remember to say «well done» so my medium-​well burger isn’t bloody). The beer/​cheese dip was AWESOME! Shoulda stopped there.

My wife and I decided to use the groupon we had purchased in April, so we went there last Saturday night, the 14^th.
I was pleasantly surprised that we didn’t have to wait. We did get there close to 8, so there may been an earlier rush, but the place was about ²⁄₃ full and we were seated right away.
The server seemed a bit busy but did not keep us waiting long. She was efficient and attentive, as well as pleasant. Overall very good service.
We ordered the beer cheese appetizer, which was very good. They had a stuffed shrimp special, which my wife ordered. The stuffing was light on bread and heavy on crabmeat, and my wife thought it quite good. I ordered the lobster roll. I liked it, very tasty. Little on the small side, but with the app it was plenty of food. The fries were a little soggy buy had a lot of flavor. We both ordered drafts, i got a Negro Modelo and my wife ordered a dirty blonde. Beers are a tad pricey, but the pour is generous.
Overall, we both liked Beer Nutz a lot. We wish it was a little closer to home, but will definitely be coming back again. The Italian burger sounds pretty good, so i think i will try that one next.

Went here with a group on, and the value was great. I got the deep fried italian hoagie, my friend got the burger that has 2 grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun. I still had a lot left over so I got a buffalo chicken pizza to go.
Atmosphere was good for lunch… not crowded, somewhat quiet, and the staff was great.
My hoagie was smaller than I expected, but still enough to fill me up. It tasted like a deep fried Stromboli and tasted great. The fries that came with it were some of the best fries I’ve had.
The grilled cheese «bun» my friend got was ok, but the burger was good. He ordered the same thing last time he was there, so it must have made an impression on him.
The buffalo pizza was great, even though I had it the next day. I just tossed it in the toaster oven to heat it up.
I noticed a lot of the other people in the restaurant were eating salads, so I assume they have some good tasting healthy alternatives too.

I went here with a Groupon they were understaffed for the groupon parties which was only 10 – 14 parties at best. So the tables were ready but the staff couldn’t keep up with seating people or maybe the kitchen couldnt.
Beer selection Meh… How can you have Belgians but no Lambic or Stella? In single bottles.
Food: burgers decent, Gyro horrible, Wings delish!
Thats it not much else to say.

The most important thing to understand: this place is FUN. But the food isn’t great.
What do I mean? Well, each table is covered in white paper on which you can just go to town with the provided crayons. Trivial pursuit cards and other bits of trivia on cardboard from other games are supplied in dishes usually reserved for sugar packets. There’s a fantastic beer selection, and you can walk right up to the rows of refrigerators and pick your own bottle. It’s just a fun place.
Now, the food is where they run into some problems. I went in a group of 4, and I can’t recommend anything we had. My salmon sandwich was so-​so at best. I tried someone else’s deep fried Italian hoagie – which sounds AMAZING (in a totally sing-​songy voice), but it somehow isn’t. It tasted like a sandwich of bland pepperoni and ham in a different bun, without anything else. They have that tried and true Pittsburgh bar staple – the giant fish sandwich – but it didn’t taste any better or worse than any other place. And the fourth item (the only one I didn’t try) was a burger ordered by the final member of our party – he says it was good, but he didn’t even finish it.
So: good for drinking (though you can’t really get there without designated drivers), great for having fun, bad for foodies or if you just want a meal.

This is one of my new favorite places in Pittsburgh. I cannot tell you why.
The food is pretty good. They have the traditional Pittsburgh food (deep fried italian hoagies, burgers, fish sandwiches, etc…). The pretzels and cheese dip is a must.
The place is a beer distributor with a bar. They have approximately 25 beers on tap. This particular night our bartender was mixing a couple of the beers he had on tap to create even more unique flavors.
Friday Evenings they have live music. I highly recommend you check it out.
