| - Passing through West Mifflin on our way home, I did a Google for "Wing Night Pittsburgh" on a Tuesday night, because we were half-starved and were in the mood for wings. It just so happened that our route home would take us up Route 885, and right past a place we had never visited called "Mulligan's." As a less-than-impressive golfer of many years, and as a man of Irish heritage, I could appreciate the name, so it FELT RIGHT. We decided to try it.
It was a hockey night in Pittsburgh, and there was a good crowd. The first thing that struck me was that this place could get loud. Open metal rafters and a highly reflective metal ceiling above. Put some sound dampening material up there, please. The second thing that struck me was, "Hey, they've got 18 taps... There is bound to be something good!" Sure enough, we were treated to a cold glass of Troeg's Nugget Nectar and a Lagunitas IPA. There were other interesting taps as well, and of course, the Irish standards, Harp and Guinness. The third thing I noticed was the restroom, since I had just been on the road for three hours. It was clean, with foam soap and automated paper towels. I appreciate those kinds of amenities in a new place.
We wasted no time ordering some wings, and the price was perfect. 50 cents for a whole jumbo chicken wing. When the wings came out, we were very happy, because they were indeed jumbo wings, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned (we got the Cajun dry with some hot sauce on the side) and they came out of the kitchen very quickly. The hot sauce was a bit on the mild side for my taste, diluted with butter, but had some other spices mixed in that made it very interesting and enjoyable. We also got a basket of fries, and they were excellent. I believe the method used was the "dipping in corn starch" method, which produces extra crispy and delicious fries. They were not fresh cut, but they were excellent! The blue cheese was quite good too.
We plowed through our wings, celery and fries and were entertained by three consecutive Penguins goals in the third period for a come-from-behind victory. The crowd was very enthusiastic, and an extremely loud boat horn sounded on each goal, adding to the crowd's excitement. Our bartender was very pleasant, attentive, and friendly. (on the check, it said that our server's name was Laura.) Everybody in the place seemed like they were enjoying themselves as much as we were, too.
In short, we've discovered a great new place to have wings and good beer on a Tuesday night, and couldn't be happier about it. I would not hesitate to stop in there again on a Tuesday, and the rest of the menu looked like my kind of sports bar fare, as well. If you're not sure where this place is, it is located right next the the Get-Go on Lebanon Road. From my one experience, you won't regret stopping in for a beer and some wings!
