One of my favorite bars in Shadyside!
The bartenders are awesome, with a great sense of humor, and they even help me with recommendations for new drinks to try out when I'm bored of my same old go to.
Once you get to know the staff they actually acknowledge the fact that they know you which makes you feel like going out was worth it.
Last night, (busy Saturday night) my bartender got so busy he had to jump to the outdoor bar to help out and forgot to bring me my wings, but he quickly apologized, gave them to me for free and even overly compensated with a free drink as well. Great service and they really do care about their customers.
Weeknights are a little slow (what else do you expect?) but weekends are packed starting around midnight, it can be fun, but it can also get annoying with the constant bumping and pushing to navigate through the crowds. But if you have a table either inside or outside with friends you forget how busy it is.
If you're in the area I highly recommend you to stop in for a few drinks and try some snacks. You won't be disappointed!
