Valley Hotel
The Valley Hotel in Jefferson Hills, Allegheny County, was built in 1863 and known as the Hotel Granger, named after its owners. It served passengers of the Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charleston Railroad, miners, and riverboat crews.
It's also sited near the Mon Valley US Steel works at Clairton, and the Granger/Valley Hotel has been the watering hole of choice for workmen looking to wash away the dust after a long eight hours.
The New England & Coal Valley Roads building now houses a bar, and is noted for its live music sets. It's also built a rep for its spooks.
The place is alleged to be filled with spirits and their phenomena, including poltergeist activity, faces in the mirror of people that aren't there and glowing lights. Things disappear from behind the bar and in drawers, then reappear weeks later.
Guests have heard voices and footsteps coming from empty spots in the bar. A worker quit after hearing the voices of a non-existent man and women arguing in the basement.
The Pittsburgh Paranormal Society investigated the place, and came away with pictures of orbs moving around the bar and a spirit beside one of the team members. A mirror shattered when they were in the basement. They came away believers.
So if you'd like to share a beer with a hard-rockin' indie band and a ghost, the Valley Hotel is your kinda joint.

Jeff, some good friends of mine that own The VALLEY Hotel are trying to find info.... you might have some to clarify things....
Shame about what happened I used to drink there before they closed down all the bartenders where stealing money and alcohol from the bar and I was told the people he had working over nights to get the bar done was smoking meth and knocking over a candle they were staying in the upstairs hotel room
I heard that the new owner had people doing work there at night and they were living in the upstairs apartment where smoking meth and knocked over a couple of candles
I was looking forward for them to reopen just wasn’t hoping you would hire the old bartender that worked there before they closed and sold the place 2 of the female bartenders where stealing money from the pocker machine and the cash register and drinking their for free after bar closed and stole bottles of alcohol from the bar that the reason why the old owner had to close his got sick and his bartenders robbed him blind make me sick to my stomach what happened bartender named neecy forkie and another thief bartender
Sorry to hear about that shame a place with that much historical history is gone I was told there were old stables and old horse seats down in the basement
I wonder if the grounds are still haunted since the building is not there anymore
