| - This place is really trying to be cool and fun, which is hard to do in Bellevue. There aren't a lot of hip places to go to after, say, noon in the dry borough of Bellevue, but Acoustic Moose is doing what it can to bring art and culture to the area. The atmosphere is a little too hipster-trying-to-be-artsy-fartsy for my taste, but at least this place is trying. The food is okay, as is the coffee. The music line-up is so-so. Most of the acts are acoustic and make decent enough background music. The depressing part is that this joint is often empty--so much that I have to double-check the hours on the door and the open sign before entering. If the crowd got bigger here, they would have money to book better acts, and thus gain a following--it's a vicious cycle that I'm not sure this place will survive. But, hey, here's hopin'.
As far as places offering any sort of evening events in the Bellevue/Avalon area go, this place deserve 4.5 stars, butttttt as far as the Pittsburgh area is concerned, it's more like 2 stars. So I balanced it out with a 3-star review.
