The Pitch

"We had an amazing experience here yesterday. We had a large party that they ended up needing to move. They put us in the back private room, and brought us appetizers for the inconvenience. They were so accommodating and the General Manager was was. The entire staff made us feel at home. The food was excellent. Thanks for having us and we highly recommend you."

"We visited The Pitch during a City match against Sporting Kansas. The lobby makes a strong first impression, and walking through to the bar and dining area, they've done a great job of recreating the feel like a British football pub - it really feels like stepping into The Crown & Anchor from Ted Lasso. Cozy sets of couches around the outside walls encircle televisions, an open center dining area provides many great places to sit, and the bar at the back is inviting beneath the row of large-panel screens. Sitting outside, it's possible to hear the cheers and drums from City Field, which really makes it feel like you're at the match. Unfortunately, we sat outside for almost 30 minutes waiting for a server, and I had to ask twice to be served, and nobody ever showed up. We eventually gave up and moved inside where we were promptly served. The Fish & Chips we ordered came out surprisingly quickly, and was both delicious and reasonably priced. Rest assured that when the match is on, all TVs in the establishment are tuned to it, and the commentary is loud and clear over the speakers. I've been to other bars that are listed on CITY's affiliates, and the experience has been mixed - usually they will show the match but not as the main feature or on a lot of TVs, and if they bother having the commentary/sound on it's barely audible. This is NOT the experience at The Pitch - it's clear that they set out to make this a destination for watching the CITY matches for those not in the stadium, and as a result, this is a GREAT place to watch the match. The restaurant was definitely busy the night we went, but not overwhelmingly so, and aside from the apparent lack of a server on the patio, the staff was keeping up. Despite the challenges getting food service outside - which is surely an anomaly and not typical - we really enjoyed our visit, and will definitely be back."

"We checked this place out on Saturday while the City SC game was going on. The building its self was amazing, and really makes you feel like you are in a match day pub. The fish and chips were really…really good. And the waiter brought out malt vinegar without even requesting it, this is an automatic point for me. We initially wanted to sit outside, to hear the sounds going on in the stadium, but after serval attempts to get service on the patio we did give up and go inside. This is the only reason this isn’t a 5 star review. Once inside our waiter was great, food was good, and beer options were plentiful. Just can’t recommend sitting on the patio."

"OMG why has it taken me so long to make it to this place and why did it take so long for Union Station to put a proper soccer bar. This place has so many screens and cubbies to watch matches with friends. Don't think it's just soccer, they play every sport, but soccer will always be first in queue. The one down thing is that they are not open for those early morning premiere games from what I can tell. Lastly it's not just about watching the game. Their menu is pretty good if I do say so myself. I may have to work out more, because I'm going to be spending a lot of time there."

"If you’re going because you see that they serve Carnegie Deli sandwiches, better manage those expectations. Huge fan of the original in NYC, but the dry meat and mediocre bread are a shadow of the real experience. Not bad, but just not up to Carnegie standards. The shrimp appetizers were okay and the cheesecake was outstanding, but you’re paying a premium for atmosphere and location. Cool spot, not great service, and a bit of an all around disappointment. Probably a good spot to watch a game, though."
