| - Fuel is one of my top choices for weekend brunch in Pittsburgh. Their (free, unlimited, typically good) coffee and twists on the classics make a great choice for one or ten. If you come in with ten, you may want to call ahead to get the less noisy basement tables, no matter what time of day. Brunch is the best, in my opinion, as Fuel transforms from a noisy, dark college restaurant to a calmer, lighter atmosphere. Also they have specials on bloody marys.
Half-price starts at 11 pm, and includes about 65% of the menu. Like all half-price in Oakland establishments you will see a line unless it's a school break or you're there 30 minutes early. It's worth the wait though for delicious food. I'm a fan of their salads, but their pizzas are pretty excellent also. Desserts, like the apple burnover (think huge brick oven baked apple turnover with vanilla ice cream), are quite enough for two.
Beer selection is fantastic, and conveniently laid out for you in the menu, prices and all. If you go there for the drinking, be sure to get some crab dip. You will not regret it. Unless you have an allergy.
