| - Piper's Pub is a place I don't get to dine at super often. When I do, I'm usually pleased overall. Usually. One time I was with a group that waited almost 40 minutes for food, when the place was half empty. Buuuuuuut in my experience that's the exception.
The norm, for me at least, is that Piper's Pub is one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. If you know me, you won't be very surprised by this. Piper's is home to British/Irish inspired food, a variety of whiskeys, mead...and, well, plenty of other alcoholic beverage options, seeing as it's a pub. Want lunch? They've got you covered (drinking optional, although resisting their delectable won't be easy). Ready for dinner? Stop on it. Looking for Scotch eggs on a Sunday morning or afternoon? Brunch is waiting for you.
In addition to offering lots of pub-inspired fare throughout the day, the food that comes out of Piper's kitchen is, well, mouth watering. Piper's Pub - and its side project next door, the Chip Shop - are each one of the places I trust to make lovely British-inspired food in general. More importantly, I trust them to make fish and chips that I will enjoy; traveling to England admittedly ruined a lot of the fish and chips made in the U.S. for me. Having a local place to go for tasty fish and chips inspired by Britain's recipes and cooking, rather than Americanized ones, is a pretty awesome thing to me.
Add in attentive staff, and you have a line-up that I can't really complain about. Be advised that reservations are a no-go here, and the place can get busy, particularly for dinner and brunch. You'll definitely give yourself plenty of time to stop in and enjoy any meals and drinks at Piper's Pub. Don't worry: based on my experience, it'll be worth it!
