In a neighborhood dining niche, we at the Mighty Oak Barrel offer personality and food knowledge, with a thoughtfully designed wine list, along with exclusive specialty drinks!

~Wine by the Bottle~

We have an eclectic Wine by the Bottle list that includes as many as 50 great wines, with many excellent choices in the $30.00 range. We offer an extensive variety of red wines, white wines, meritages, and champagnes that few restaurants in the Pittsburgh area rival. Our selections are seasonally inspired, ever changing, and sure to please the most seasoned wine connoisseur!

~Authentic Irish Coffees~

The Mighty Oak Barrel offers Authentic Irish Coffees - not the Irish Coffee you're accustomed to from the "states." Grainne brings to the restaurant her family recipe - direct from Ireland... with hints of chocolate and honey, real cream, and her family's own secret ingredient. We feature the following varieties:

  • Ultimate Irish Coffee... Its what the wee folk drink on a chilly Irish night... honest, it's true, no Blarney at all!  Made with Celtic Crossing, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, and piping hot coffee.  Topped with cool cream.
  • Nuts & Berries Coffee... Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur and Chambord Berry Liqueur in steaming hot coffee topped with cream.

Stop by the restaurant today to sample a true Pittsburgh original!
