Grandview Saloon

Skyline Views and Classic American Fare Above the City

Grandview Saloon is a casual, welcoming American restaurant perched on Pittsburgh’s Mount Washington, offering some of the most breathtaking skyline views in the city. Located just a short drive or incline ride from downtown concert venues, it's a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike looking to pair dinner with a view. The menu leans into hearty American classics—think burgers, steaks, and seafood—with a full bar and relaxed vibe that suits both pre-show excitement and post-show wind-downs.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to downtown Pittsburgh venues makes Grandview Saloon a smart stop before or after a show. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud, so you can still chat over dinner. Guests appreciate the efficient service, especially on event nights, and the outdoor deck offers a scenic way to kick off an evening. Free parking nearby and easy access via the Duquesne or Monongahela Incline adds to the convenience.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a chill hangout spot with shareable apps and drinks
• Solo travelers wanting a table with a view and friendly service
• Couples planning a romantic weekend around a concert date
• Fans seeking a scenic, energetic pre-show meal

What People Say

Reviews consistently highlight the stunning city views as the main draw, especially from the patio and upper deck. Diners love the variety of American fare, with favorites like the crab cakes, burgers, and steaks getting frequent shoutouts. Many note the friendly and attentive staff, even during busy hours, and the relaxed, inviting vibe that’s perfect before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the food, while solid, is more about the view than culinary innovation. Seating on the deck can fill up quickly, especially during peak times, and wait times may vary. If you're planning to dine before a major concert, make a reservation or arrive early to snag the best seats.
