I came here with a few friends for brunch on a Saturday that everyone in Shadyside was celebrating St. Patrick's day. Because I had one too many frozen cosmo's the night before, I wasn't in the mood for green beer, but they had plenty other options.
The hostess had that rude "couldn't-be-bothered" sort of attitude to her, but I wasn't about to let a 21 year old make ME (a paying customer) feel like a jerk for not having a reservation to a neighborhood pub that serves green beer on a Saturday morning. She seated me promptly after an eye roll or two.
The waiter was more than accommodating with lots of water and coffee for the table and was pretty hilarious for most of the meal. My friends got the grilled cheese with pierogies and I opted for the chorizo scramble. My dish needed lots of extra seasoning to make it not taste like a bland heap of nothing. I finally got it right after hitting it with salt, pepper, AND hot sauce. It still wasn't good and I only ate about 1/3 of it. My friend's all reported that the grilled cheese was extra greasy and really not all that great, but the fries with the old bay hit the spot.
My only regret is not visiting here during happy hour because their draft list and bar area looked pretty amazing. There were lots of beers I hadn't heard of and the prices didn't seem that unreasonable. The place definitely prides itself on it's beer selection, as the first 4 pages of the menu featured various different sorts of beer.
Oh, and the music was bad. Like laughably, noticeably bad.
