A great little spot. Wonderful food with great prices and a fantastic drink menu. A small cozy dining area and bar. Definitely a hidden gem.

Amazing food and service! We had crab cakes for an appetizer and our friends tried the spinach salad. Both fantastic. For dinner I had the pasta special and my boyfriend had the sneaky steak. Everything was fantastic! Will absolutely be back.

Very nice first time visiting Sneaky Pete's. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner with my wife. The pulled pork and brisket were smoked to perfection. The chief recommended the golden BBQ sauce. And it really complimented the smoked flavor . Plus, it was nice to have many whiskeys to choose from. We will definitely be back.

Cozy spot that offers great cocktails, a well curated liquor list, and various wines. Atmosphere is eclectic americana. Wood burning fireplace is a nice touch. Did not try the food this time but we will be back.

Sneaky Pete's has been a staple in Erie for decades. On Swanville Rd it's been a carriage stop on the way to Cleveland, a general store, speakeasy, a place to take your mistress and a bar / restaurant that it currently is. It is easy to drive; nestled in a neighborhood, it looks like another house on the street. Walked in for after dinner drinks and all the tables were full, conversations occurring and just seemed like a relaxed place to be. People seemed happy. Grabbed a couple seats at the bar. They had a large variety of wines at different price ranges, well to top shelf alcohols, beer and signature cocktails. Their food menu looked good at a glance, but I had already eaten. My friend decided to try The Sneaky Pete drink, it was tall, creamy, sweet with an umbrella, a fun drink with secret ingredients that would very easily belong on a sunny beach. We asked the waitresses about the ingredients, they wouldn't tell :-) For me, since tonight was the night to try new things #whythehellnot I ordered a Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned. I've had a regular Old Fashioned and it was not my thing. Took at look when the drink arrived, there are literally pecans in the drink. There were strong flavors of the whiskey and cinnamon with hints of orange. Definitely not a drink you chug, but sip when talking with friends and you have no where to be in a hurry. I enjoyed it and would order it again. Overall Sneaky Pete's was clean, the staff friendly, good service, it's on the list to go again.

Sneaky Pete's has a cozy, speakeasy atmosphere, outstanding cocktails, and knock-your-socks-off delicious food. Their main dish menu changes every 2 weeks, so you can keep going back and never get bored. The charcuterie boards are menu staples and are more than enough for a meal. The cocktails and liquor are top notch and tasty. I highly recommend you give Sneaky Pete's a try!

Low-key dive bar with a friendly atmosphere and great food & drinks. Enjoyed appetizers and cocktails with my friends on a Friday night after work. The outside almost looks like a regular house but inside is charming. The staff was friendly. Would definitely go back again.
