Alexion’s Bar & Grill

I go here to get away and enjoy a nice drink and great company. The service is always top notch and customer service is awesome. First class management and food.

Fantastic! Great food, excellent beer selection! Bartenders are great! It is a great hometown neighborhood bar with good people and friendly staff. The food is a good selection of var type food with large sandwiches. Excellent wings!

This place has a real neighborhood vibe to it, and offers a nice selection of brews along with a decent menu if you’re here for a meal. Comfortable décor, decent service and reasonable prices make this a good spot for a sojourn if in the area. The bartender was cool in offering samples of drafts before I selected, and the food (I had wings and zucchini planks — both excellent) was very good.

I went to Alexions with a co-​worker/​friend for lunch during lent. First impression, it was small and packed. This is apparently a very popular lunch stop. They have a nice outdoor seating section, but it was closed due to the weather.
I opted for their Friday special a fish sandwich with cheese, hold the cheese. I hate cheese on fish, in my mind it doesn’t go well together. It came with one side and chips. I opted for cole slaw because that does go great with fish. The chips were straight out of a bag. I am not a chip fan, especially not one that Lay’s delivered. It would have been nice to have homemade chips. The special was 10.50, so I was hoping it would be good.
The wait wasn’t terrible for as busy as they were, but if you’re on a strict time schedule for lunch I’d call ahead. The food arrived in about 20 minutes. My fish sandwich though nice size was a little small for the price, compared to other’s that are cheaper. The slaw was nice, good flavor but the fish was average. I loaded it up with some tarter and cocktail sauce to help the flavor out. It wasn’t a bad sandwich just a tad small and mediocre for the price. I would stop back to try something else another time and would love to grab a beer here, as they had a really decent selection, and the servers were also pleasant.

Perfect joint! Don’t be afraid as you pull up… It’s a nice little neighborhood. Was in town on biz and my hotel was right up the street. Great service, well apportioned servings and unique menu make this place worthy of a check in!

Stopped in here as it was close to my hotel. Great local pub. Service was great, food was definitely above average. Would recommend the wings for sure. Will be back next time I’m in town.

Found this place on Unilocal and glad we did. Great beer selection, the sandwiches are wonderful and huge, wings were very good. Family owned establishment and everyone we met was great, the owner, waitstaff and kitchen staff. If we ever get to The Pittsburgh area again, we will go back!

Friendly staff, good food, great beer selection, and relaxing atmosphere. Great wings and the buffalo chicken pizza is the best I’ve had. The sandwiches are all on thick cut Italian bread and fresh. Definitely a hidden gem of the Greetree/​Carnegie area. Looking for a low key hole in the wall with good prices and great food this is your place.

Friendly local bar with great service and good food, won’t be disappointed if you like bar food at a reasonable price. Good place to go for «Friday fish sandwich »

The bar is nice enough the servers are attentive enough the food is good enough. Their is absolutely nothing wrong with this place but the problem is it is not a place that will stick out from the crowd. It’s kind of lost in the crowd. Pittsburgh is a city full of bars this one is relaxed. It’s a great neighborhood bar. And I would come back but it is not a wow that is a great place. It’s just good enough

We met a couple of friends there on a Friday afternoon about 440 pm, based on the Unilocal reviews. I’ve relied on Unilocal in over a dozen different cities, never came away with anything less than a positive experience until today.
We ordered within 5 minutes of sitting down, there couldn’t have been more than 20 people in the place, counting the people on the patio. Took them almost 40 minutes to serve 3 sandwiches and a salad. I tried the fish sandwich, came out fried extra crispy on the ends, if there is such a thing as fish jerky a third of the sandwich would have qualified, it was just ok. I’ve had better at almost any church that fries fish during Lent.
All 3 of my dinner companions left partial sandwiches or salad uneaten. Bread french fries and onion rings were good though. Iced tea was good, though I’ve never seen a place dispense sweet n low like they were giving away their last rock of crack. Asked for sugar but never saw any, they don’t carry any other artificial sweeteners besides the pink stuff.
I may give the place another try in the future for a Reuben or hamburger, assuming today was some aberration possibly due to a cook having a family emergency or something like that. Waitress was pretty good, held up under my multiple requests to find out if they caught my fish yet, hardly ever rolled her eyes :)

Let there be no question: Alexions owns the best cheeseburger in the region and they have now for decades. Try a burger on Italian bread. The service is flawlessly friendly, the food is amazing, and the wings? Oh the wings… but it’s still about the cheeseburger. The atmosphere is inviting, but you can’t eat atmosphere… so go right now. Grab the car keys… you know you’re hungry for an amazing cheeseburger, maybe some wings, and a cold beer! Easily, hands down, the best bar and grill in Pittsburgh.

I ate here a few years ago and wasn’t really impressed. Yesterday a couple friends invited my wife and I here for drinks and a bite to eat. I had the Reuben and I loved it. The meat was perfect and the bread while not grilled with butter like a typical Reuben was delicious. The bread was soft and fresh and the dressing came on the side so it was nice to just pick it up and eat it without having greasy hands. Everyone else got burgers and they looked really good. I’ll definately try one next time but it will be hard not to get that Reuben again. Overall typical bar food menu, service was ok (didn’t get water and had to ask for silverware). Will definately be back soon though

Very disappointed in the customer service. We ordered Reuben’s and wanted coleslaw instead of kraut. They charged us $ 3.00 for the coleslaw. We will not be back. The iced tea is also terrible tasting.

Grew up near here. the family would always go once a month. Haven’t stopped in for a few years until last Friday with a few friends to grab a drink. The sandwiches are always amazing just as I remember. The staff is amazing and friendly. Great place for lunch as well.

Dinner today — at a bar and grill, a very busy place filled with locals and families. The service is quick and friendly; the food good. It was a bit on the noisy side, but the good kind of noisy. Of course the TV’s were all on the sports channel, which no one was really watching at the time. A good place that gets 4 stars mostly because of the atmosphere and because we liked it. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it is the inside that counts.

What a cool bar/​restaurant. I will no doubt be visiting again. The service and prices were great. and the restrooms were clean. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The menu consists of typical bar food food, however; theres a few different items on there which stand out on the menu.
A cool bar off the beaten path that is a worth a trip.
Cheers ! !

I will be back. Drank and dined here Saturday afternoon, March 2^nd, while staying at a nearby hotel for a chess tournament. Went to this place on a tip from a friend and was not disappointed. We had wings, a cheeseburger, and fries. Everything was perfect (except for the celery that came with the wings — not sure what was going on there).
The décor is classic Pittsburgh, but the bathrooms were small (unless there were more located in the back room that I did not see). I think it would be a nice place to watch the game. I would like to go back when they are busy to see if it is as cool as I think it would be, and I probably will soon.

Good for cheap drinks and wings, they offer daily specials which is nice.
Doesnt look like much from outside but the inside is friendly enough, the bartenders have been there for awhile and do a good job. Dont expect to have a HUGE selection of alcohol.
Their wings are good as are their salads. If you are gluten free this is not your place… lots of fried food and sandwiches.
Offers a quick lunch.

This would be my local haunt, if I were ever to relocate to the Pittsburgh area. What a great little place! Such friendly staff, and some damn good eats!
It was so great, that we actually went there twice during our 4-​day vacation to catch the Steelers/​Ravens game.
They have daily sandwich specials. On Thursday night we went and had the special roast beef and cheese sand., and the .35 cent wings. Very, very tasty. I’m sorry, but this place kicks Primanti Bros. butt on the taste factor. They have about 8 different types of wings… reg., garlic, and I can’t remember the rest — we got the regular, and I was wishing we would had ordered more.
Going back on a Friday night, we ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and a pepperoni n’ mushroom. Wow! That buffalo chicken pizza was awesome.
The other thing that stuck out for me was one of the customers. An older gentleman; he seemed to be a regular. I really, really wanted his SPAM t-​shirt.
