| - We love Hough's. Huge beer selection, with frequent specials (although sometimes I find myself surprised that they can have such a huge selection with so few beers that I would call "really good"). The food is pretty good, with a tasty veggie burger on the menu. The prices aren't great but they aren't too exorbitant. Tuesday night bar trivia is a lot of fun if you get a good group together. Also? Non-smoking, which I love. It shouldn't be a bonus to get to leave a bar not stinking like a chimney, but sadly in PGH it is.
Probably the best thing about this place is its general neighborhood feeling - like everyone is a regular. The worst thing, though, is the neighborhood it's in! Not that we don't like Greenfield, it's just that it's so far away from everything. Getting home via bus usually means either a very long walk followed by a very long ride that winds all over the city, or else leaving by 9 or 9:30 to catch the better routes. We have a car, but generally don't want to go to a bar and then drive home. So I guess that could be construed as either a complaint about location, or a complaint about the Allegheny County Port Authority routes! Either way, we do try to come back, but we don't get there as often as we'd like.
