| - This place is great for some things and not so great for others.
For me, this is a good spot for lunch during the week (if you happen to work downtown, because it's not worth a drive). They have a pretty decent menu (the usual sandwiches, burgers, and salads but also a sprinkling of nice homemade Italian dishes like Chicken Parm and some "diner-style" foods like meatloaf). I recommend the Lamb burger - like an Americanized gyro. The meat is delish and the veggies fresh.
What is this place NOT good for: happy hour. Why? Not because of selection, but because the price of a beer is expensive. To be fair, I don't think I tried this place for happy hour in about a year, but I was so turned off by paying over $5 for a bottle of Yuengling, that I made my mind up then and there that this would be pigeon-holed as a lunch spot for me. If memory serves, it was closer to $6 than $5 for a bottle. C'mon! This is a local brew with mass distribution.
Final answer: good food, expensive beers, nice staff, horrible decor (but this is clearly old school 'burgh, so that I just overlook naturally)
PS. If you sit in a booth, you'll be rubbin' bums with the dude sitting behind you. Try it, you'll know what I'm talking about.
