Brunch, Baseball & Brews: Spending Father’s Day in Pittsburgh

As if Lord Stanley didn’t bestow an awesome enough honor on many Pittsburgh dads this week, Pittsburgh is full of incredible options for showing Dad that you care on Father’s Day. From baseball to brunches and everything in between, we’ve compiled a list of great ways to spend the day with your dad in Pittsburgh this Father’s Day weekend.   

We still may be celebrating the victorious end of another professional hockey season, but baseball season is in full swing! (pun intended!) This weekend, the Pittsburgh Pirates are playing at home Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So, the whole family can either take Dad out to the ball game or give him a peaceful afternoon out with friends! You can’t go wrong spending the day or night rooting on the Buccos at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park.

Maybe your dad is not much of a baseball fan, but he’s no landlubber, either! Take Dad on a delicious cruise through Pittsburgh on the Gateway Clipper Fleet! On Father’s Day, there are all-you-can-eat options for brunch and dinner. Scenic Pittsburgh sights and a delicious meal... sounds like a dream for any dad!

If you think cruising through the city might make Dad a little sea sick, treat him to a five-course dinner on dry land in Pittsburgh. But, make sure to include the brews! Hop Farm Brewing Co. is hosting a dinner and brewery tour on Father’s Day. What dad could turn down the tastes of five courses and five beers?

Maybe your dad would prefer a little bourbon over beer this Father’s Day. He may have to wait an extra week, but you could gift him with tickets to the Muddy Waters Oyster Bar Wild Turkey Bourbon Dinner! Dad is sure to gobble up four great courses and a bourbon tasting!

So, your dad is not too into beer or bourbon, but he is a bit of a wild animal? The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is the perfect place to take him this Father’s Day. The whole family will have ferocious fun and any dad who comes in with his children is admitted for free!

Think you’re running out of ideas or out of time to get your dad a meaningful Father’s Day gift this year? Think again! You can run the World’s Best Dad 5K in Pittsburgh any time this June! You can dedicate this virtual race to your dad and even give him the medal you receive when you’re done. Plus, a portion of registration fees goes to a worthy charity. Doing something good for your health and the community? Dad will be so proud! 

So, we’ve explored some of the best baseball, brunch and even bourbon options in Pittsburgh for this Father’s Day. Now, only one of Dad’s favorites is missing... burgers! You can either treat your dad to a backyard BBQ at your very own Pittsburgh home or take him out to one of Pittsburgh’s many juicy burger joints! Either way, all that grilled greatness is sure to show Dad your gratitude!

To all of the worthy dads in Pittsburgh and around the world from all of us at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty, we hope you have a well-deserved, relaxing Father’s Day weekend!
