A very unique place. Stopped on my way into Pittsburgh during my last visit. Easy enough, if slow, to get to off 376 heading downtown. Great tap selection; I tried Founder's Double Trouble IPA--wow! Easily the biggest and best IPA I've had recently. Guilty as charged, I got a dog loaded with chili. Yum! Explored the beer cave and took away some beers I can't find at home. Even though it was pricey, they do discount a full six-pack, which helps. Definitely a stop for those of you who want to enjoy good beer, a dog, and maybe take a few brews with you for later.

Though not exactly what I expected, this is a quality beer establishment. There was a bar area with several small tables, as well as an adjoining room that seemed to be for people planning on having a full meal. There were around 30 beers on tap, mostly American craft brews, offering a good variety of styles. Most beers cost either $5.00 or 5.50, though a few of the imports were 8.50. My friend and I only ordered bar food during our stay; our appetizer of nachos was nondescript. High quality meat with interesting combinations of toppings made the hot dogs a very enjoyable break between beers, however, and only cost 3 or 4 bucks. Besides serving several tables, our waitress was also working at the bar itself, but was able to attend to us fairly well and answer questions I had about the beers in a pleasant manner. The beer cave was not, alas, an actual cave, but did offer an excellent and very large selection of beers, with an emphasis on American labels once again. There seemed to be close to if not all the different beers from some of the better Pennsylvanian breweries such as Victory and Weyerbacher. Prices were sometimes, but not always listed, and were neither atypically high nor low for the high quality brands carried.
This is a great place to go to hang out with friends and drink excellent beers that you may not have heard of.
CHOCOLATE STOUT ALERT – I had by far the most chocolate-flavored stout I have ever tasted here. It was South Tier’s Chokolat, and was on a completely different level than Brooklyn’s dark chocolate and Young’s double chocolate stouts. The beer does not even seem to be mentioned on South Tier’s website at the moment, but if you have yet to find a stout with enough chocolate flavor in it, this may well end your quest.

Had lunch yesterday at the newly opened second location in Monroeville -- its in the old Pizza Hut on Northern Pike near the hospital. Same great beer and food. 20 or so beers on tap. Not quite the selection of bottled beer as the Regent Square location (no beer cave), but what they have is outstanding.

Amanda is right on. D's rocks. Always a good spot for a good beer, and food; now it's even better than ever. More taps, expanded menu, and great service. Dino has a vision and its awesome to see it come about. A can't miss spot in the Burgh.

much has changed since i last visited d's. the new space was opened and much time and thought was obviously put into the decoration. tables and bar both were full, college students, families, little of everyone enjoying their food and beer. 17 beers on draft including troegs mad elf, unibroue maudite, dogfish head 90 minute ipa, great lakes nosferatu to name a few. i tried the magic hat #9.
to eat i had a veggie dog with cole slaw that came on a bun dusted with what i think was poppy seed. anyone who likes hot dogs should try their veggie dogs at least once. also ordered a side salad which was a fresh spring mix and iceburg combo with carrots, green peppers, tomatos, cucumbers and red onions with ranch dressing made there.
walked through the beer cave in the back where they stock something like 800 different beers.. waiter said he's up to around 600 beers that he's tried. noticed a 3 liter bottle of chimay priced at around $80.

Well, they opened the add on last week, and it's now a place where you CAN hang out at and drink the beer....and eat their hot dogs, and watch their TVs. Still have to renovate the old area and get that cooler moved from behind the barchairs, but the decor is really something - 5 litre kegs for lighting on the ceiling, and monks on the walls. The "cellar" is now located in the new area up the steps on the left and is huge. Can't wait to get back there.

Not much of a beer bar, really. More of a dual-purpose hot-dog stand and beer take-home shop. Yes, they have a nice cooler selection, a legendary cellar selection, and they'll let you pick from their retail shelves/coolers and consume on-premise. (Obviously they have to let you consume on-premise to be allowed to sell in quantities of less than a case.) Still, this isn't the kind of place you're likely to spend time hanging out and drinking beer. For one there is no "bar" ambiance/setting at all. For another, the ongoing expansion can't wrap up soon enough. This place is seriously cramped. It's not an easy place to get comfortable and "settle in" for a long-haul beerdrinking session. You're more likely to either grab a dog and a beer and then split, or just grab a beer or 10 to go, or wrap both into a single trip. D's is often credited with being the first Pittsburgh establishment to actively seek to stock a wide selection of rare imports and micros, a trend which then spread and made Pittsburgh one of the nation's premier craft-beer cities. Whether or not it was the first, it's certainly the best. I have yet to find any place -- bar or liquor store -- that comes close to stocking the sort of variety D's does. Its national reputation is well-earned.

It's my understanding that D's is working now on expanding into a neighboring space. Just opening up the walls between the two buildings

I'd travelled past this place a zillion times, and never would have guessed what a vast selection of beer is contained in this little joint. It's a very small bar and sanwich shop with a great little "beer warehouse" in the back. It's great to be able to take a little basket and buy a bunch of single bottles of beer to take home (like Corsendonk, Chimay, etc.) I had a decent cheese steak hoagie and fries at the bar the other day. It's too bad this place isn't a little bigger! There are a couple little tables and maybe 8-10 seats at the bar? I'm sure it fills up quickly.

D's is an unassuming little shop selling dogs and a few sandwiches (great stuff though). No elaborate oaken bar, no subdued lighting. But their beer selection is amazing. 800+ tossed about in the reviews below. Striving to reach 1000 is what I read on a sign on the wall.
Whereas most states have liquor/package stores or an indie cornershop that specializes in beer, Pennsylvania's beer laws preclude you from buying singles and samples (or even 6-packs) in a beer store. Thankfully, places like D's help rectify that situation.

D's is what it is, which is a hot dog joint with a drop-dead beer selection. Six hot taps, 800+ bottles, and a short menu of dogs, sausage, chicken tenders, and fries (delicious Pittsburgh beauties). Drop in, grab a beer or two and a dog, and groove on it.

first, this is not really a bar, but a sandwich shop that serves beer and wine-there are five or six taps which rotate in selection with one being a belgian. in the beer attic they have over 800 different beers and allow you to purchase single bottles which makes it nice for trying new beers without having to buy a whole sixer. the cheese steak is a good sandwich--i haven't tried the dogs or chicken, but they look prety good. the staff is great--joel knows his beer! the only bad thing is it is not that accessable for the handicapped--no steps in the entrance, but once inside it is too narrow for a walker or wheelchair. if you can ambulate fairly well, this is a must stop for any serious beer fan when in the 'burgh.

Don't go here unless you want to smell like an ashtray afterwards. The eating area is small and clouded in a thick haze of cigarette smoke. Really quite revolting.

DJ's is indeed an awesome spot for a huge selection of great beers and the tastiest dogs. I've also tried the kielbasa, cheese steak, and cheese fries with much satisfaction. I'm fortunate to live in the neighborhood & frequently hit DJ's for 6 packs to go, but I love to drink and dine in as well. My ONLY COMPLAINT, and I'm sure other customers and employees share this sentiment at this time of year -- there is no AC. It is most uncomfortably hot inside the shop during the summer months, and it makes me think less of the owners -- they really should foot the bill to keep their hard-working, courteous employees and dedicated customers comfortable and cool.

D's has the best selection of beer in the city. Not to mention the best cheesesteaks in the 'Burg. I love that the serevers cook your food right then and there, that's what I call service

I go to D's an average of once a month. Even though I'm a beer fanatic I go there for the hot dogs and chili cheese fries. 9 times out of 10 I get something on tap and 95% of the time it's all good. I just went yesterday and found out that they now have a hand pump. I was told the beer was Yard's ESB but I didn't have one because I found out while I was leaving. The dogs are exceptional, I always get a Chicago with cheese. I often pick up a mixed six pack when I'm there. The selection is quite superb. They could stand to get a few more domestics and ditch a few of the imports. They could also label things better, most of the time I have to guess how much everything is or they'll have a sign for a beer that's not available. As long as they keep doing what they're doing and make some small improvements, I'll keep going there for years to come.

only a couple of taps but usually very well thought out. Chicago style dogs are a tasty little bolus of fat and washed down with a fine micro or import....makes me want to go on a killing spree. If in the east end looking for a chilly one, definitely stop in.

Just got back from my first visit this sat @ approx. 1.00 pm 2/2/03 If your not familiar with the area, keep your eyes peeled because you can miss this little Diamond. Traffic is quite heavy and then you have to find a parking spot. I got lucky and surreptitiously perloined a spot right in front. I am by all means not a beer expert. I only made this visit as a result of the hype I stumbled across on the internet. Knowing nothing about exotic beers, I searched the net and came up with a wish list of brands that interested me before my treasure hunt to Swissvale. Believe my it was worth it. When I pinballed my way to that special " Back Room " where the real bounty was.I was totally overwhelmed by the selection. It was a real treat. While finalizing my selection, it almost seemed as though I was taking from someones private collection. But I wasn't alone so the guilt soon went away. The Prices blew me away a little but, I wasnt picking up a case of Milwaukees Best. The 6 pack I chose came to nearly 60.00, that included some oversize bottles of Chimay , Piraat and Westvleteren. ( No Ive never heard of these before )Side not: The Alcohol Content averaged approx 10% !!! WoW. Cant wait to try these out. Even If you dont live close and you do like Pgh treasure hunts, this place is high on my Recd. list.

D's was a great time. I got a chicago style dog and it was loaded with toppings. Great tasting hot dog. I then walked back into the wooden back room with the best beer selection this side of the Missisip! I quickly grabbed an empty 6-pack carton and began filling it up with some brews I've never seen, but sounded interesting. Each bottle is individually priced. Some are cheap, some are up to around 8 bucks a bottle!! (Some German or Belgian beers.) My 6-Pack costs me $11.00 and it was well worth it. The dog was around 3 bucks and that was amazing.I can't wait to go back to this place.

One of the best concepts in the business. If you're within a 45 min. radius, it is a must. The ratings above are not inflated but sincerely earned!

Excellent little place on the main drag in Regent Square area. The have literally hundreds of different types of beer available in the backroom for take out... this place is mostly takeout, although they do have a reduced menu which mostly consists of hot dogs and other grill type things... Seating is limited to a counter and a few tables...
Excellent place with large selection...

If you love great beer and great hotdogs, you'll love D's! I visit Pittsburgh ever other month and always enjoy my trip to D's. Mr. and Mrs. Deflavio also add to the atmosphere. They do a great job manning the grill and are very friendly and quite knowledgeable about the different beers they have to offer. There is always a good selection on tap, and the "Cellar" is always well stocked. If you're looking for great food and great beer at some of the best prices I've seen in the Pittsburgh area, try D's.

One of the best selctions of beer in the area. Take out as well as many different micro's on draft that change very frequently. we live about 45 minutes away and make the trip about every other week end. Hot dogs and fries are great!!! The menu is limited to mainly dogs,fries,steak sandwiches, fish sandwiches, veggie dogs and onion rings,but all the food is very good. If you love beer give it a try!!!

D's is a Pittsburgh treasure for so many reasons...It's one of a handful of places that has a truly incredible selection of bottled beers. Check the back room, where you can mix and match from hundreds of varieties in a six pack. Or sit up front (the atmosphere is VERY casual) and grab a dog and a brew. They even have good veggie dogs. Highly recommended.
