| - This place is a great find. We visited it originally in the summer, but kept wanting to go back, and finally had the chance for a dinner. Since it is in winter, we decided to stay inside and not try the covered patio (Besides, the patio is the smoking area, and we are non-smokers!)
There is parking directly behind the restaurant and at various locations around Bridgeville which are a short walk away. The front of the bar fronts to Washington Road and as busy as that is, there is no place to park. We walked in through the back door and were immediately taken to a table. Much to our surprise, most of the tables by the back entrance were occupied by families that included younger children. At a bar? Anyway, the inside of the place is rather dark. The bar dominates the center of it and there are tables around one end of it. There were a bunch of young guys at one end of the bar, who had clearly been having a good time for a while, as they were rather "enthusiastic and loud". However, except for the loud discussion they bothered no one.
The menus were quickly handed to us and even before we had a chance to look them over, one of the employees handed us a sample bowl of the soup of the day with two spoons and asked us to try it. We did. It was delicious! Looking at the specials board, it was a Basil Mushroom Soup. We ordered a bowl of it! It was even better in the full bowl! Talking with the woman who handed us the sampler, we found out she was the manager who has a soup-making hobby and that was her latest creation. We complimented her on it and found out that she has a recipe book of around 150 different soups and she rotates through them at the place regularly. If any of the others are as good as that one is, you must try any soup she makes!
Previously, we tried the burgers, so this time we tried several appetizers and the Pittsburgh Wrap. All the food was standard quality bar food. The one outstanding (as in MUCH BETTER than most) was the soup. When we go there next, we'll probably go back to the burgers as they were very good.
Our waitress was very capable and cheerful. She stopped by many times to see if we needed anything and any requests we made were quickly attended to. Quite good.
The beer list is quite long and varied. They have their own brews as well as collections of others. The two that we tried from their own portfolio were very good. Turns out we came out on a good night as they had a half-off appetizer deal going (for which the soup qualified) so we have a very inexpensive meal. Bang for the buck was very good!
