This is a pretty average restaurant/bar with a solid draft and bottle selection. The pizza is good, but its not gonna blow your mind or anything like that. Most cost around $20 and easily feed 3-4 people. The staff is friendly, yet not overly quick.
To me, Bites and Brews has a little bit of an identity crisis. Does it want to be a restaurant? Does it want to be a bar? It feels a bit more restaurant like, though there is a large bar if you'd rather sit there.
Not sure you'd want to buy a well drink here, saw the bartender pouring the college favorite Vladimir. Yum!
Still a good place to share a pizza and catch a game on the television in the shadyside area.
