| - Of all the neighborhood bars I've had living in seven different locations in Pittsburgh over the past 12 years, Hough's is by far my favorite.
Here's why it's awesome:
1.) Excellent beer selection. I admit it, I'm a bit of a beer novice. I stick to what I know - lagers, pilsners, and the occasional brown ale. However, for real beer lovers, this is a great place. I believe they have something in the range of 50-60 beers on TAP at any given time. Not to mention the bottle selection. Growlers to go if you're interested.
2.) WANGZ. Wednesday is wing night. It's packed. Why? Because these wings are big, juicy, freshly made (you'll wait 10-15 min per order... warning clearly stated on the menu), and the sauces & dry dubs are A-MAH-ZING (that's for you, MH).
3.) Buttered, toasted buns on all the sandwiches/burgers. May seem like a trivial thing, but I tell you, when you chomp into a Chicken Cheese Steak and you get a burst of buttery toasted goodness, you'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
One downside (which I won't even factor into my overall rating) is that they are closed on Sunday's (except Steeler Sundays, of course... they aren't uncivilized). I feel like Hough's could really corner the Sunday afternoon breezy beer drinking occasion. Eh, I guess bartenders can have days off too.
PS - The chili also rocks. Try it on their house-made chips.
PPS - This review makes me want to run a few miles and eat a salad.
