| - I am pleasantly surprised by the new Pour House. The walls aren't sticky anymore, tables aren't old and don't rock, and everything has a refreshing paint job. The place looks amazing, and with no more smoking, smells good too.
As for the food they still have the traditional stuff, and of course the grilled cheese is still yummy (if you get it, ask for all three cheeses). One disappointment is that they stopped selling potato pancakes which was the reason I used to go to the old Pour House, but the new menu items are refreshing. I happened to be there when they were serving a shrimp and cucumber gazpacho, and it was excellent.
Also, it seemed like they added some local beer to the taps. When I was there, they had Rooney Beer and Duquesne Pilsner on tap, along with all the traditional Irish beers.
One better change is the serving staff. Gone are the surely guys who looked at you funny when you asked for a napkin; in there place are young, smiling girls.
The changes to the Pour House definitely make this place a must-go, but I still miss the potato pancakes. :(
