| - Hough's is a family run bar and restaurant with some of the most creative extras in all of Pittsburgh. For the beer drinker, they have 100s of bottled beers and on the order of 50 on tap at any one time. They are one of the few bars in the U.S. to have an annex where customers can pay to brew their own recipes. If you are not a beer drinker, they also have a nice selection of wines and spirits and for people like myself soft drinks. Free refills on diet cokes
The staff is friendly and caring and take joy in making their establishment a haven for fun events. Brunch before Steelers games, trivia nights, beer tastings, etc. add to the attractions here. With many big screen TVs this is the place to watch a Steelers, Penguins, or Pirates game. On a sports quiet evening, there is a jukebox for music. In the warm months Hough's sponsors some outside events which attract many locals and their families.
Hough's has an upstairs and downstairs bar with two of the most beautiful wood bar surfaces in Pittsburgh. The bar decor is eclectic including sports decor, a CMU buggy, and from time to time books from local authors.
The crowd attracted tend to be graduate students, professionals from the universities, participants in the Pittsburgh Sports League, locals, etc. They have an excellent bar menu which changes periodically to add variety. They are not afraid to experiment. It is therefore fun to come back from a hiatus to see what has evolved. This is a happening place full of friendly people and trend-setting ideas. It is a Pittsburgh icon and a must visit. They get SRO crowds for Pens games and Steelers Sunday's. Why not become a regular and make some great friends. My highest recommendation for Hough's.
