PITTSBURGH, PA - Golly bejabbers! There likely are hundreds of Irish bars spread over the vast territory of Pennsylvania and a popular food website believes the best one in the Keystone State is Mullaney's Harp and Fiddle in the Strip District.

Delish has published a list of the best Irish pubs in every state, and Mullaney's topped the list in Pennsylvania. That shouldn't come as a complete shock, as the Daily Meal last year rated the Penn Avenue establishment one of the best Irish taverns in the country.

"Hearty beer, hearty fare, and hearty conversation—an Irish pub is so much more than a bar," Delish wrote. "Pubs are places of community that offer fun for the whole family during the day and for adults at night, and they do it all with an Irish smile."

Here's what Delish had to say about Mullaney's:

"Owners Anne Mullaney, Brian Mullaney, and Sean Patrick Murphy were drinking beer in a German bar in Pittsburgh when they decided the citydeserved an authentic Irish pub, too. They opened the Harp & Fiddle a in 1992.

"Anne Mullaney sadly died of cancer in 2011, but her legacy lives on thanks to her active work for the community. Scrolling through the pub’s Facebook pageand events calendar, it’s clear to see that the Harp & Fiddle carries on that mission and stays connected to its hometown crowd"
