I've walked by the yard and considered venturing in, but the location in the basement kept me from venturing in until today.
The decor is great--high ceilings, great looking bar, and everything feels easy and very casual--no blaring music at 6:30, just people talking.
Bartender was very nice and the guy next to me actually chatted, which is good for Shadyside. Ordered the pierogis and kielbasa and it was AWESOME. It came with kraut and grilled onions. I loved it.
Highly recommend.
