The Cage is easily my favorite bar. I consider it the essential Squirrel Hill watering hole. If you work in the neighborhood you will find yourself in one of their booths at least once a week.
I don't smoke cigarettes anymore but when I did this place was like a magnet because they're one of the last remaining bars in the city that allow you to smoke inside. Be warned this is a real treat for some customers, but whether you like it or not you will leave the bar smelling like a chimney for sure.
I love every single member of the staff. Even if they're swamped they will give you the time of day, and they're really good at remembering your name!
The food prices are incredibly reasonable for the size and quality. My favorite regular menu items are the burger, the cheese balls, or the fish sandwich. The best kept secret is the 90cent tacos only on Monday night. I'll be going till the day I die!!

I always have a good time. I love the bartender who wears the bandana and black vest. He does not talk much but he has kind eyes and makes amazing drinks. I go on Thursday night because that's half off wing day. I have been for holidays like Halloween and the costume contest was so fun. Great crowd of creatives people are friendly and you can find someone to talk to. I dislike that it allows smoking as a non smoker.... But the wings and drinks are great.

I've been coming to The Cage for almost 10 years and it is probably my favorite bar in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is great, even if it does get a little smoky and crowded on weekends. There's usually something good on the TVs and the jukebox one of the best in town.
It's great for a quick drink or dinner. The drinks are inexpensive and the staff is wonderful. They really make you feel welcome and do a great job even when it's busy. The food is also inexpensive, fresh (for a bar) and delicious. You get a lot for your money.

This is one of the best places to hang out in Pittsburgh. Billy makes the place, but it is so much more than a gold medal bartender and a great selection. It is a comfortable spot after a busy day that you can feel at home and meet new people.

Famous cheese balls are delicious. You can smoke inside just be aware. Veggie burger is delicious
