| - It was a Sunday night when I went here, so I can see why it wasn't that busy. It was a dark and rainy night and the bar was dark as well. We walked in and the bartender seemed surprised to see us. He said "I just walked in before you, so let me get things iced and then I can help you". It was informative, but it seemed like he was kinda annoyed that we came when we did, even though there were two other people there.
Anyways, we sat down at one of the crazy booths that looked like molten lava. It was a unique place for sure and they had a pretty good beer selection and PBR on tap. The happy hour included PBR for 1.25! Now, that's what I call a cheap date!
We hung out until the rain passed and planned on going to another place closer to the family's house. While we were still there, I checked out the pit in the back that housed a circular booth that you accessed by going down the staircase. It seemed like a cool, but strange place to congregate with friends, but definitely not your average bar. As I passes by the pit, I went to the ladies room, which is almost to the back of the place girls. It is creepy and dark back there and it's like you stepped into some cavern and no one else is there! It was a cool creepy feeling though.
This place is a definite if you are in Pittsburgh. I haven't spent much time there, but looked up places to go when I knew I was headed there. Carson St. has many bars, shops, restaurants and such to go to. Sunday is not the best day to go, since things close early, but it was our only choice. Park the car, grab some food at Double Wide Grill and do a bar crawl. It will be worth your time!
