| - Let me start by saying I love negronis. This place serves a great one: reasonably priced with an orange twist and a gigantic cube. Yum. Beyond that, they have a pretty solid cocktail list, mostly classics with some sort of twist (ex "Spanish style gin and tonic"). While I tend to drift to mixed drinks, this place does specialize in beer, if that's your preference, and they also serve arsenal cider!
Food: I like the snack/appetizer options, especially after they recently redid the menu. I personally would not come to dinner here - I think their entrees are a little on the pricey side, but I haven't tried them, so maybe they're great
Service: All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, but I wish they had a few more people working as service can be a little slow. It doesn't bother me too much since I usually come here to hang out for awhile, but if you're in a hurry, it might be a problem.
Atmosphere: the crowd varies, but mostly professionals in the 30s or so. It can get pretty crowded on the weekends, but it's usually not to hard to find a table or a spot by the bar. During the week it is the perfect balance of not too crowded and not to empty. I quite like that the don't play sports games here, definitely a different vibe than typical pittsburgh bars
Overall: Great bar for low-key drinks during the week or weekend, especially considering limited options in squirrel hill!
