Monterey Pub is tucked away in a line of rowhouses in the Mexican War Streets. If you were looking down Monterey, you'd miss it. The pub can't have a sign perpendicular to it because of zoning laws.
This is the classic neighborhood bar. Visiting only a couple times will remind you of the theme song Cheers. The bartenders literally know 50% of the clientele at any given moment.
The woodwork inside is beautiful - mahogany booths and crown molding throughout. It's one of the few places in Pittsburgh that I would call a pub. Think cozy.
For food, try the monterey burger. The tap selection is standard british beers and selections from the Penn Brewery.
