A Neighborhood Classic Since 1910
The story of Bigham Tavern starts over a century ago, right here on Mount Washington. Back in 1910, this corner spot on Bigham Street opened its doors as a neighborhood tavern — the kind of place where factory workers would stop in after their shifts for a cold drink, a warm meal, and good conversation.
Over the years, the space changed names and hands more than once, but its spirit never wavered. When the current owners took over in 2010, they discovered the original name — Bigham Tavern — etched into the building and decided to bring it back.
Today, BT carries on that proud Pittsburgh tradition: hearty food, ice-cold beer, and a laid-back, old-school tavern vibe where everyone feels like a regular. From our legendary wings to our packed game days, we’re still the neighborhood spot Mount Washington calls home.
As Mount Washington’s local watering hole—and now Bridgewater, Beaver County too—we continue to provide more than just drinks, stellar food, and great conversation. We pride ourselves on being the welcoming extension of home that people yearn for in their neighborhood bar.
To our community, we’re their place to unwind, sit back, and enjoy the times. We aim to consistently serve up top-notch grub and drinks—a tradition that has taken place in this location for over a century. We welcome all families, neighbors, and friends alike to come hang, chow down on some of our award-winning fare, throw back a cold one, and watch a game. We’ve got a drink for every bother and, with over 30 flavor options, you're sure to find a favorite for the crowned "Best Wings" in town.
We invite you to come find out why the locals say "Go Bigham or Go Home" today! Bigham Tavern is a local neighborhood tavern that aims to provide comfort and consistency in our food and drink. We specialize in pub food with a twist.
We don’t like to brag… but the people of Pittsburgh keep making us.
