Pittsburgh’s favorite footballers are in full swing, but they’re not the only team in town with the recipe for success. Rivers Casino Pittsburgh’s restaurant roster is ready for primetime with game day grub, fall flavors and everything fans need to savor the season from kick-off until the two-minute warning.
Let’s Go, Eaters! Football Season Arrives at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh with Pre-Game Snacks, Starbucks’ Fall Menu and More
Unleash your appetite with burgers made just for ‘Burghers, like Wheelhouse Bar & Grill’s Black and Gold Burger. Or celebrate the recent arrival of our gaming floor Starbucks with its full autumn menu, including the famed Pumpkin Spice Latte, the unofficial beverage of the season.
Whether your plans call for grab-and-go, casual fare or white-linen luxury—it’s all here under one roof at Rivers.
The Wheel Deal: Game Day Dining with Hi-Def TVs at Wheelhouse
With its vast array of high-definition mounted display screens, Wheelhouse Bar & Grill may be the popular choice for Steel City football fanatics. Sizeable portions, late-night closing times and a high-energy atmosphere on game days are just some of the ingredients that make Wheelhouse a win for celebrating football season.
Wheelhouse is also a go-to for delicious and filling cuisine. Fan favorites include the juicy, tender Colossal Fish Sandwich and the iconic Pittsburgh Cobb Salad topped with french fries. The sports bar’s lighter bites are equally enticing, namely its wings with the ultra-popular garlic parmesan sauce, which complete any game day celebration.
On top of that, during Wheelhouse’s happy hours, guests can enjoy half-priced apps, drink specials and that relaxing post-work feeling that hits the second you smell the barbecue ribs sizzling on the grill. Happy hours are Monday through Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m.
While the weather holds, cozy outdoor patio tables boast riverfront views, which allow for the perfect Pittsburgh dining experience. Wheelhouse is an ideal eatery for anyone rooting for the Black and Gold.
