| - Silky's is my go to spot for a laid-back Friday night where you can have a few drinks and play some shuffle board without a crazy crowd. The place is never empty, but it's also never too full where you can't get a table. The crowd is a mixed bag, but like many bars in Pittsburgh, I've never felt out of place there.
Silky's has a slightly above average tap list that often includes Southern Tier, Fat Heads, or Great Lakes. I have been disappointed several times when the tap list has changed but not the menu. I get my heart set on a beer, only to find out the keg has been tapped. No complaints though, there is always something else to try.
I haven't had much food here, but the waffles fries are a great candidate for a late night bite.
Silky's has several dart boards, and a shuffle board table along the window. If you get here early enough, you can get in a few shuffle board games before someone else takes a turn.
When the weather is nice, the patio is a great option. There's potential for good people watching on Liberty Ave most days. However, asthmatics be forewarned, the bar is non-smoking, but the patio is not.
