🔥 NORTH HILLS, HAVE YOU BEEN TO PERRYTOWN TAP HOUSE YET?! 🔥There are some places around Pittsburgh that just feel like they BELONG here…And Perrytown Tap House is one of them. 🍻Located along Perry Highway in Ross Township, “The Perrytown” has been part of the North Hills community for more than 50 YEARS! The building itself goes way back — from an early-1900s general store to a local watering hole and restaurant — and today it has a fresh new chapter as Perrytown Tap House. 🏠🍺And folks… this is NOT just your average bar food.🔥 Yuengling-battered cod🔥 Big wings🔥 Open-faced pot roast🔥 Pot roast pierogies🔥 Pittsburgh cheesesteak🔥 The loaded PT Fries🔥 The “Godfather” sandwich🔥 Firehouse Burger…and plenty more.The pot roast shows up in some seriously Pittsburgh ways — including pot-roast pierogies and an open-faced pot roast piled over Texas toast with gravy and crispy onions. 😳And the fried cod has been getting a LOT of love from locals.But what really caught my attention is the story behind this place.Friends. Family. Community.That’s what Perrytown says it’s all about — and honestly, THAT is what a neighborhood Pittsburgh spot should be. ❤️💛So North Hills…👇 WHO HAS BEEN TO PERRYTOWN TAP HOUSE?What should everyone try first — the wings, the fish sandwich, the pot roast, the Godfather, or something else?And if you grew up around Perry Highway…DO YOU REMEMBER THE OLD PERRYTOWN? 👇Tag somebody from the North Hills who needs to know about this place!📍 Perrytown Tap House1002 Perry HighwayPittsburgh, PA 15237#PerrytownTapHouse #NorthHills #Pittsburgh #PittsburghFood #PittsburghRestaurants #RossTownship #PittsburghHiddenGems #PittsburghEats #NorthHillsPittsburgh #SteelCity #PittsburghHistory #SupportLocal #RestaurantGemsOfPittsburgh ...
