Restaurant Gems of Pittsburgh and the Tri-State
🍀 MOON TOWNSHIP HAS A PUB THAT’S BEEN SERVING UP GOOD FOOD, GOOD TIMES AND A LITTLE IRISH HOSPITALITY FOR YEARS!!Have you been to Patrick’s Pub & Grille in Moon Township? If not, this might be one to put on your restaurant bucket list!This isn’t just another neighborhood bar. There’s a story behind it!Owner Shawn Crago opened Patrick’s in 1999, naming it after his oldest son, Patrick. What started as a small neighborhood bar with just a handful of barstools has grown into a full-service pub and grille with a family dining room, expanded kitchen and a beautiful outdoor patio.And the food? There’s plenty to talk about!🍀 Traditional Irish favorites like Bangers and Mash and Guinness Stew.🥪 Reubens and sandwiches for those who love a good pub classic.🍗 Wings, burgers and plenty of comfort food.🍺 An impressive beer selection featuring 24 rotating drafts, along with a wide selection of bottles and cans.And don’t overlook the outdoor patio! It features covered and uncovered seating, a patio bar and even cornhole during the warmer months.One of the things I love about places like this is that they’re more than just somewhere to grab a bite. They’re gathering places. The kind of neighborhood establishments where friends meet, families get together and regulars become part of the story.From a little neighborhood bar in 1999 to a Moon Township staple today. That’s a Pittsburgh-area restaurant story worth celebrating!📍 Patrick’s Pub & Grille1207 Spring Run Road ExtensionMoon Township, PA 15108📞 724-457-9770🌐 patrickspub.org👇 MOON TOWNSHIP AND WESTERN PA, LET’S HEAR FROM YOU!Have you been to Patrick’s?
