| - Definitely one of my favorite places to go in the Monroeville area, also my favorite out of the Rivertowne locations (I consider the brewery to be too different to compare, though). There is a ton of space, which means most times there is no wait. In the main room, I love all of the wood decor - makes it feel homey. Service is generally in the range of good to great. The Pour House has a nice neighborhood vibe to it, which I enjoy.
There are always a good amount of beers on draft, which change seasonally. They also have a few beer sample flights available. So no matter what kind of beer you like, chances are, they'll have something for you.
I would describe the food as tasty bar food. More info in the next 2 paragraphs:
The cheese bite appetizer is EXCELLENT. I think the beer batter must add a lot to the flavor. It's definitely our appetizer of choice to order. You get a good amount in the app - for me, it's a little too much for 2 people but perhaps a bit skimpy for 4 people (so if you have 3 people in your party, you may find you have just the right amount of cheese bites :).
I've enjoyed various sandwiches and burgers as well. Recently they've added a healthy menu, and I tried one of the healthy menu fish dishes the other night (it came with 2 sides as well as a side salad - great value). It was good, and I look forward to trying another healthy option some other time.
Biggest downside: Their sound system. When the place is really packed, you may not be able to hear the sound for a given sporting event. We were pretty disappointed last year when we went there to watch a Pens playoff game and couldn't even hear the sound. On the other end of the spectrum, they have a DJ some nights... and the music is played WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too loudly for my taste. I make sure to get out of there before that starts up.
