The food here was very good. Big portions for everything. Wing sauce selection good. Cuban and short rib grilled cheese were literally enough if you are getting an app.
Suprising!. Place is neat, clean, great beer selection and service was quick and friendly. we tried wings, they were crisp and fresh. wing sauce was homemade and they had great flavors. we also tried the mto burgers. cooked perfectly and the sweet potato fries were awesome! try them with a side of the raspberry wing sauce. will certainly be back!
Excellent food. Hal's is a staple for me and my wife to come and dine and enjoy good food and beer. The burger hands down is my favorite around Pittsburgh. The half chicken is really good as well. The only cons about Hal's is the menu rarely rotates and the noise can get loud but it is almost a full sports bar so that is understandable. Enjoy yourself and relax
Imo best West View bar!!! There are sooo many great things to say about this place. I've read reviews about people complaining about the noise, its a sports bar that has a restaurant inside so yes there will be music, talking, and noise. But one of the biggest reasons being is this place gets busy. So many people come here for the great food and service. Thier beer selection is extensive but doesn't kill your wallet. I have never eaten ANYTHING here I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and Hal is very personable. He always seems to be there working and we have even seen him sweeping up on several occasions. He is an owner that truely cares about his establishment. This is no dive bar and the decor reflects that. It is modern-industrial but it is also intimate enough for date night. They also have a wonderful private room that has a lounge like atmosphere for private gatherings. This is truely a rare find in this area.
Best beer selection in north. Excellent bar food too !
As others have said, the atmosphere is on the loud side. The menu is interesting, not what you would expect from looking at the establishment from the outside.
The appetizers are not the typical bar food, nor is the menu. I would never expect this place to have a wonderful sweet pea risotto. The quality and quantity is outstanding for the price.
My only suggestions would be to decrease the volume and increase the lighting.
I am new in town and heard great things about Hals Bar and Grill. I decided to try it out when I pulled up the parking lot was full so I knew it had to be a popular place. Everything from the food to service was great. I have just found my new favorite spot!!
We love everything about Hal's & have Bren regulars pretty much since he's opened. It's awesome to see someone who works so hard succeed. Food is consistently great & a great value. We love to take our veg friends there too. Good drinks, service, atmosphere, parking! (we live in the City) & menu- that changes seasonally. Tonight was my birthday & our server was so nice to accommodate us with a brought in cake & candles. I love Hal's.....it's our go-to when we're hungry! And NO pretension like so many City restaurants.
Outstanding. This past Friday my husband, two children, and I had dinner at Hal's for the first time. It was so busy, but a 30 minute wait well worth it! They are very kid friendly. The food was amazing, generous portions, as well as the service. And for the beer selection? Wow. We will most definitely be going back!
I used to work with Hal when he was the GM at the now defunct Trilogy in "dahn-tahn" Pittsburgh. His original kitchen crew was both guys I'd worked with at Trilogy as well. Hal took fine dining & blended it with a bar. And the result is THE BEST BAR IN DA BURGH! EVERYTHING on his menue is top notch. If you like spicy wings, try the EW No. 9. The creole mustard & Gen. Drew's flavors are awesome as well. Calamari to die for, lamb chops are divine, samiches spectacular. BEST WINGS IN TOWN. Even friends from Buffalo RAVE about them. Be careful though. One drink at Hal's is like 2 drinks anywhere else!
We've been to Hal's twice now & it's a very cool place. Currently decorated for the holidays, so nice!
Lots of TVs. Great music (hi-energy pop & dance tunes); a bit loud for quiet conversation (but that's what adds to the fun atmosphere.)
The wings were HUGE, well done (just the way we like them!) & Hal's has some amazing sauces & rubs. The nachos were great. Burger was tasty.
Cheyenne was our waitress both time. We're lucky cause she's awesome! :)
We'll be back!
Food is delicious. Loud atmosphere..difficult to carry on a conversation. Very crowded and service was a bit slow. Well worth the trip for the tasty food. The meatloaf cupcakes served over mashed potatoes was extremely tasty. Listed as appetizer but could be a meal. I would highly recommend Hal's.
Placed an order on a Saturday night for take out. They were super busy. The atmosphere inside was awesome. They were playing good music, the staff was friendly. I had a little bit of a longer wait for my food then expected but it was totally cool considering how busy they were. We got a half a rack of ribs, and a California burrito. Everything was delicious. The onion rings were bomb too. Will definitely be back to actually eat inside!
Absolutely excellent food, service and atmosphere. Make the trip, it is worth it!!
Delicious! Had the meatloaf cupcakes and the pork belly. Definitely recommend
First time and we’ll definitely be back. First impressions left us thinking that the menu felt kind of all over the place. But that means that there’s bound to be something for everyone.
The lamb chops were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pork belly on cabbage was fried perfectly and the dish as a whole was a really cool riff on pork and kraut.
My fish tacos were really tasty and if I had to be critical at all I would say they just needed salt and acid. Some cilantro, lime and salt would have made them perfect.
The Cuban Reuben is a fun, well executed sandwich and the selection of both sides and soups was unique enough that it will draw me back.
Our server was pleasant, professional and attentive. Again, if I had any pointers it would be to improve on pre bussing and top shelf tequila shouldn’t be served chilled without asking.
Otherwise, really great experience and we look forward to our next visit!
Bar service was great, everyone behind the counter was attentive and friendly. Wonderful wings and beer, exactly what I was looking for.
Came here based on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed!
Absolutely delicious food! We had the Chicken and Waffles and the Pot Roast sandwich. Unbelievably good! Really friendly staff and great service. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars!
Great place! Lots of wonderful food on the menu to choose from. The atmosphere is fun too, and you can dine inside or outside. The music was kind of loud on the inside, but we love music, so we didn't mind. 😃
Finally made it out to Hal's for their wing night. ($1 a wing). Their wings weren't bad and they have a decent variety of flavors to choose from, but i wouldn't make a special trip out for them. I got the hot garlic parmesan, which sadly didn't taste like garlic at all, the hot raspberry which was a nice flavor, and one of their new flavors, mator's something? (Honey, hot cajun), those were really good. I'd order your wings well done, if you like them crispy. I'll probably come back sometime, but to try some of the other things on their menu.
