| - The most impressive part about this location is the set up and decorating. The decor includes props from the steel era in Pittsburgh, and a nice stone and wood interior. The interior of the bar and restaurant are opened to the outdoor air on nice days. Unfortunately, my experience didn't match the ambiance.
The service here is one of two stories. Our first bartender only acknowledged us when we first arrived. We ordered a beer and a vodka cranberry, which we received with our first order. The well drink had a weak pour. After that, we were not acknowledged for the next 20 minutes. The next bartender Wendel, was fantastic, stopping by frequently to check on what we needed as customers. In general, it seemed like most of the service staff distracted one another by holding side conversations and horseplay. Considering the place wasn't busy during our stop here, we were disappointed by the initial lack of service.
One of the shining inventions at this bar is the "Yinzerita." A margarita with a beer of your choice poured inside. The beer doesn't add anything special to the flavor of the margarita. However, it is an extremely novel drinking concoction. As a part of visiting here, everyone should have one.
We also ordered a "Plain Jane" pizza while we were here. We got the larger of the two pizzas they offered and it is the size of a regular bar pie you would find at most restaurants. The pizza had a thin crust, bitter sauce, and regular cheeses. It took around 40 minutes to deliver the order. Based on the size of the pie, it should have taken a lot less. Overall, I was disappointed in the delivery and taste of the pie.
