Do you like sports, beer, and fried pub grub and sandwiches? How about Shadyside?
Answering yes to these questions would probably mean you already know about the Tav, but should you not, this might be your place.
Admittedly, it's not one of my regular spots, but I'll submit that when an occasion calls for multiple screens of sports, copious amounts of food and booze, and a energetic atmosphere, the Tavern hits the spot.
