| - Although it says the Trolley Stop is in Bethel Park, it's in the far, far reaches of the area so don't be surprised if you think you missed it- just keep going down Route 88 and you will see it eventually. We stopped in here after a day of skiing at Mystic Mountain since it is right down the road from my boyfriend's home and we were famished-and needing to see the last period of the hockey game play out!
It was pretty crowded around 8:30pm this past Saturday, however, we did spy 2 seats at the bar and took up in those immediately. There was a group having some kind of maybe awards celebration-they had trophies and there were probably about 20 of them gathered in the middle area. I'm all for celebrations but I think several of them were waaaay overserved (stumbling and not being able to walk was my first clue). A few of them kept interrupting the bartender about the jukebox when she was trying to take care of other customers (namely us and the two other couples at the bar) which was pretty annoying for both us and the bartender.
We were served our first drinks fairly quickly (draft list very minimal but they had some decent bottles) and given menus. She wasn't able to get back over to us for about 15 minutes though so our food order was put in quite late (and again, we were famished). Although pizzas were on special for $8 (large 1 topping), considering we had pizza for lunch we decided to go for something else. I ordered the spicy chicken wrap (grilled chicken, lettuce,tomato, and frank's red hot) served with a side of ranch. I just went with the chips because I didn't feel like fries-but maybe I should have since they were Lay's and I really dislike that particular brand of chip. The wrap was decent bar food-nothing special but because I was so starved, it did hit the spot. My boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger with fries. He said it was good but didn't say much else. He agreed he was starving and that hit the spot. Total bill for 4 beers and the 2 sandwiches- $31.00, pretty good I'd say. I would come back here again in a pinch, but I'm not going to hurry back for any reason. They did have ample tvs, however, me personally, I like to sit at the bar for sporting events and this bar leaves much to be desired so it might be awhile before coming back here to partake in a Pens game.
