Do you want to be shitface drunk off of one drink and you only have $10? go to Mardis Gras.
Their drinks are military grade weapons, that is how strong they are. This bar is unlike every other bar in shadyside. it's dark and it has cool round booths.
the bartender should be a national treasure, he is awesome.
bring cash, you can't use your card there.
Oh--you will smell like smoke when you leave, this place is full of smoke. It's likely the least sexy bar in all of pgh but its one of my favorites.
