Sea Shell Bar

***This is an ambiance review only***
Stopped in for a beer after a long day of winter travel. Music was good (quiet enough to have a conversation, but loud enough to hear with all genres playing). Bartender was kind and always smiling. Bar was blah though, it only holds about 15 guests and the tv situation isn’t great. This particular night it was 5dg out, but super toasty in here (except for the bathroom where it might have been 6dgs) I’m in Pittsburgh once a month, so I’ll update if I ever dine here. It deserves a return visit.

Love this place. Great locals bar that makes visitors free welcome, great food, reasonable prices, wonderful staff.

stupid bar tender and always gets anger with drunk people. expensive cost for drinks. Only old men and women come here. It’s suck

The Seashell is a great little local bar. I’ve been here a few times and we have yet to NOT have a good time. My friends and I always reminisce about the fun times we’ve had here! (Like singing the Star Bangle Banner at the top of our lungs when they called last call. I’m not sure why we did, but hey, when in America! Right? Lol) The parking lot is a bit small but there is a medical office building close by you can park in.
They also have a nice patio area with a little fire place to cozy up to in the winter.
They have basic drink and specials and a simple food menu with nothing to write home about. They have a taco night too, I think Tuesdays.
If you’re in the area and looking for a low key place with some fun locals, come here and you won’t be disappointed!

Waited for 20 minutes during lunch and was ignored till I payed for my drink and left. Waitress put another menu down after asking if I was waiting for someone to which I responded no, then walked away.

My favorite bar in moon twp. Close to home (walking distance down a beaten path). Bartenders always nice to me. Used to be a regular but do not have the time anymore. Bartenders still remember me.
Average pricing less than average 6 packs. Bathrooms remodeled. Has the friendly atmosphere of a dive bar without the dingy look and the dive bar nonsense. Great patio for afternoon beers.

My boyfriend & I were staying at a hotel in Pittsburgh for the night & just wanted to find some place we could grab & few drinks & some food. Sea Shell Bar fit the description of what we were looking for, & it was pretty close by. It was a cute little place, half bar /​half restaurant. We sat at the bar & were quickly greeted by the bartender. You could tell who the regulars were, there was lots of friendly banter going on. The drink specials were pretty good but they ended at 7pm. Not a huge variety of drinks but I wouldn’t expect more out of a little bar in Pittsburgh. The food was surprisingly good for bar food. The bartenders were really nice, pretty attentive. All in all we got what we wanted out of the night so we were satisfied :)

…it’s been a while, but the place always has been a mainstay with the locals; teachers, soldiers, etc. I remember one time I stopped and sat at the bar and the bartender asked how I was. I said that I would like a draft and she walked away. She returned and again asked me how I was and again I said I would like a draft. She walked away again. She returned for the third time and asked me how I was and I said that I was fine and she went to get me my draft. I was pissed at first, but reconsidered it and haven’t been such an ass since…

It was a bit hard to find seeing as it is not located on a very busy street. I was looking for a bar next to the airport and came across the shell. As soon as I pulled in I noticed great parking. I walked in and was immediately greeted and served by the bartender she was great. Just as the locals who are at this bar. Atmosphere is great and the drinks are better. Only downfall is they don’t carry fireball. The excuse was they don’t go with the trend or fad of today but smart business would suggest otherwise.

This is a great small place to come and have a great time to enjoy the food, bartenders, and atmosphere!!! All the bartenders are beautiful and best of all they know how to pour good drinks!!! You can’t go wrong if you looking to have a great time talking and drinking!

When I come back to Pittsburgh, I’m constantly reminded what a lack of night life this city truly has. The Sea Shell is no exception.
Let’s start with the few good things. This bar does not allowing smoking indoors, which is still legal in Pittsburgh apparently, and I truly appreciate that. The drinks are decent, and the prices were supposedly reasonable (I didn’t pay.). The bartenders were friendly enough, and they had a small band. The parking lot is tight, but I found a spot.
So let’s get down to why I will probably never come back. They close the kitchen at 9 PM. 9 PM on a Friday night. Guys, this isn’t acceptable. This limits how much I can drink on a night out. As if that wasn’t bad enough, by 10:30, the entire place started to clear out for the night. Ugh! Yes, I was there with a group of co-​workers, but I expect a bar to have people in it.
So essentially after having two drinks and not being able to eat and seeing the bar was clearing out, I left at 11:00 PM. That’s not even a night out. That could have been the beginning of an evening. Sorry, Sea Shell. I can’t recommend mediocrity.

Good burger and large salads. The daily soups are definitely home-​made.

This review is going to be short since I have only visited the Sea Shell Bar twice for Karaōke on a Saturday night. I believe they have karaōke on Thursdays as well. I have not tasted their food yet so I can not give feedback. The atmosphere is nice. It is lively and sometimes a little too crowded, if a small room crammed with people is an anxiety trigger for you. haha
There seems to be lots of military visiting this bar since the base isnt too far away. Men in uniform isnt a bad thing, or so I have been told**Cough cough**. ;)
The one TIP I have that is more of a WARNING is be careful pulling in and out of the parking lot because it sits right on the other side of a small hill and people come flying up over it. I have almost been hit coming out and have almost hit someone going in.
