The Story
Grandview Saloon sits atop Mt. Washington on Grandview Avenue, offering what many consider the finest panoramic view of Pittsburgh's skyline and three rivers. Since 1986, the restaurant has served classic American fare and cocktails to locals and visitors drawn to the iconic overlook.
The restaurant occupies a prime position along Grandview Avenue, the street that USA Today and National Geographic have repeatedly named one of the most beautiful views in America. From the outdoor deck, diners look down on the Point where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio, with the downtown skyline spread out below.
Beyond the view, Grandview Saloon has served as a neighborhood gathering place for Mt. Washington residents for decades. It represents the kind of long-running, family-friendly establishment that anchors Pittsburgh neighborhoods through economic cycles and generational change.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
Mt. Washington is Pittsburgh's balcony, and Grandview Saloon is the best seat in the house. The view from Grandview Avenue is the single most iconic image of Pittsburgh, and this restaurant has been serving that experience for nearly four decades.
In a city defined by its topography and rivers, Grandview Saloon sits at the geographic and emotional heart of what makes Pittsburgh beautiful. No visit to the city is complete without seeing the view from Mt. Washington, and no local takes it for granted.
