| - This place is great! Every time I'm in town, I go here for a few beers and a good time. It's basically the Cheers of Pittsburgh...
This place used to be a really run-down, shady bar that was well-known for the rough characters that would frequent it. It was shut down by the city (or maybe the previous owners left, who knows) and a new family - The Hough's - opened it back up after major renovations and improvements.
I cannot say enough about the family who runs the place (Barb is amazing, so nice and a great smile!) and the bartenders (Kevin is the man!) The beer selection is incredible...microbrews, Belgian ales, imports, seasonals, PA craft beers. Likewise, the specials run every day but Sunday and are great. They just recently changed their food menu so make sure to take a look at that. The most I have ever ordered was the grilled cheese sandwich (AMAZING!) which comes with fries, but I have seen more complex dishes that looked rather good for a bar. Better yet, the prices for food and drinks are all very reasonable, the bathrooms are clean and the place is very comfortable - no more hot, humid bars for me (one of the things I hate the most)!
If you're looking for a friendly, inexpensive and comfortable place to grab a few beers or maybe a bite to eat - this is definitely the place to go! They even have a board where they post pictures of all the regulars - I mean, how much better can you get?
PS - If you want to play darts, its super cheap, check them out too!
