Let me start my saying that I really didn't give this place a fair shot. We were in Pittsburgh for the weekend and were working our way down Carson Street, bar by bar. This was our 1st stop. We could only stay for 1 drink because we had a pregnant girl that was with us (not drinking), and the place allowed smoking.
We had just missed the live band, and didn't get to try any of the food, so I can't speak on behalf of either of those.
Place was a good size with plenty of room to move around. The crowd there was mainly older (40s & 50s). But with all the room, I was disappointed there was no pool table/dart board.
The men's bathroom didn't have a lock on the door and there was no divider between the toilet and the urinal. This is a pet peeve of mine. Is it really that expensive to install a divider? So if you go here, don't eat too many wings or you will need someone to stand guard as you use the bathroom.
Another small annoyance... On the way to the bar we picked up a few bottles of water to bring back to the hotel with us and they made us check in the water and leave it at the entrance. What is that all about?
Overall, the place was a typical dive bar, nothing special about it. With a dozen other bars to choose from on the same street, why go here?
