About
Whistle and Keg
Welcome to Whistle and Keg, a unique pub experience located at 101 W Federal St A, Youngstown, OH. This isn't your ordinary tavern. Here, you can savor bold flavors and vibrant atmospheres, all while enjoying the innovative self-serve beer concept that makes this venue a standout in the craft beer scene.
One of the main highlights is their expertly crafted, Old Fashioned Tavern-Style Pizza. The menu features delightful options like the beloved Brier Hill, the indulgent The Godfather, and the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Three Pigs And A Chicken Walk Into A Bar. Each pizza offers a perfect balance of fresh ingredients, traditional flavors, and a crust that speaks to its time-honored roots. From Kickin' Chicken to Simply A Lot Of Cheese, every bite transports you to a realm of comfort and taste that pairs beautifully with their extensive beer selection.
The self-serve tap system is another reason why customers rave about Whistle and Keg. As reviewer Brice Harris noted, patrons receive an electronic wristband connected to their credit cards, allowing the freedom to indulge in various beers at their own pace, charged by the ounce. This unique approach not only encourages exploration but also elevates the social aspect of beer tasting. Whether you opt for local brews or something entirely new, you're in for an adventure each time you visit.
For those who appreciate a bit of snacking, the sharables, like Pretzel Bites and a Greek Style Vegetarian option, are perfect accompaniments to either your pizza or beer selections, creating an enjoyable balance.
While the concept of Whistle and Keg focuses primarily on drinks, several nearby restaurants provide delicious takeout options, enhancing the range of culinary delights available within reach. The atmosphere is both inviting and lively, making it an excellent spot to unwind after work or to enjoy a casual night out with friends. As Jonathan Palo points out, the ability to sample beers and try new flavors adds a fun element to the experience.
In summary, Whistle and Keg offers a refreshingly interactive approach to dining and drinking. Whether you're here for the pizza or the beer, you’re set to find something that satisfies your cravings in a vibrant, enjoyable setting. For craft beer enthusiasts and pizza lovers alike, this is a must-visit gem in Youngstown!

“ First of all this pub works differently, which was great for me. It's a serve yourself. After taking your credit card they give you an electronic wrist band. Then from the multitude of taps you draw your size pour charging you by the ounce. This gives a patron flexibility with testing and drinking. The seating area inside is a good atmosphere and outside is shady in the afternoon. Fantastic place to go after work. ”
“ Great concept and execution, you can sample many different beers and choose how many ounces each time. Really cool RFID linked to your credit card worn on the wrist, tells you how many ounces you drank. Need a companion app so I can have history of beers...or that might be bad. ”
“ Lots of fun sampling all (ok, not ALL) of the beers on tap. Huge variety - something for everyone. The self serve tap system is awesome! ”
“ Out of towner here from Michigan. Very cool place. Fully enjoyed all the local brews and seeing names I've never heard of before. That's what it's all about! Loved the experience and would definitely hit this place and others like it again. If your passing through as a visitor this is a must hit local place. ”
“ The beer selection is incredible, and the novelty of being able to try as much or as little beer as you wish is fun. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and want to return. Also, while they don't serve food (other than popcorn), there are plenty of awesome restaurants nearby to order take out from and bring back. ”
“ I've been waiting for a place like this to come to the area for awhile now and I can say the wait was certainly worth it. Whistle and Keg is the new "serve yourself" craft brew station that provides a larger selection of beers by cutting out costs of serving. I have experienced bars like this in other major cities and the execution of this place is spot on. The beers are plentiful, the process is painless, and the crowd is definitely into it. This is a fun place to be but is most fun when visited with friends as the seating kind of forces it since there is no bar top. Still, if you are alone, don't hesitate to visit as you could spend hours just walking down the tap line reading and enjoying as much or as little as you'd like. ”
“ Fun concept. Pour your own Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, and Kombucha and they charge by the ounce when your finished. Free popcorn. Soda and water for non drinkers. ”
“ The Digital Beer Dispensary! An extremely wide selection of beers to choose from! Want a little taste? Then pour an ounce or so! Find a brew you love? Fill up two mugs worth! ... ”
