| - In terms of all the other (few) Squirrel Hill bars, this one is by far the best. However, basically my review will be a summary of all the previous reviews. They didn't put a ton of effort into the interior or exterior (since there is no sign). The concept of a chalkboard beer sign makes sense (because the beer is constantly in rotation), but it is so poorly written and dimly lighted that you can't quite read anything. I was trying to read the list of cocktails, which is written at the bottom of the board, and a bartender was standing in front of it; so I had to give up. The fries are great, but the other food is small for the price. Also, I get why their kegs might kick often but for being a beer place, the bartenders, servers, owners aren't totally knowledgeable. When asking for a beer that recently kicked, the owner offered up a beer that was just being added. The newly-added beer was on the opposite spectrum of the kicked beer, and it was overly carbonated. Suggestions: work on service (mainly attentiveness and beer knowledge) and consider a different method of supplying the beer listing. Lastly, don't have a mixologist who can't act as a regular bartender (I think he made maybe one drink while I was there and the rest of the time just leaned on the counter).
