| - Once I got past the name reminding me of a young professionals networking event, and upon recommendations and invitations from friends, I finally gave Allegheny Wine Mixer a try. I am not much of a wine drinker because wine tends to make me feel tired, so other than some (good) sips of my friend's wine, I tried their cocktails. I had an excellent Negroni and a Corpse Reviver, plus a complimentary sample of the Wild Perv made with a beet rosemary shrub from Wild Purveyors - all quality. I also ended my night with Fernet y Coke, and espresso (my own added touch). I really appreciated, more than anything, the neighborhoody atmosphere of AWM, and that they played a great selection of garage and soul music at just the right volume while I was there. I have the feeling it's always a friendly laid-back pretension-free zone, that only nice people come here. It's the type of place that Pittsburgh had previously been lacking, the place I want to hang out at all of the time. This end of Butler is really coming up and it's great to see a bunch of unique businesses working together to make it a quality area of town to visit or live. I, for one, wish that I lived closer to AWM.
