Who says "Local" in Pittsburgh means: toothless, smoke-y, dive-y, tattered blue collar? Fat Head's sure doesn't. Fat Head's says Local is: cleanliness, heartiness, potent ale & fine food, HDTV (with volume for games) & the finest tap list and cleanest, best looking tap build in the city.
(Really...I hadn't seen something this nice since Father's Office in Santa Monica, CA.)
They have Bear Republic on tap. I hadn't seen Bear Republic anywhere East of the Rockies. To me...that's a sign that this place is a beacon for delites. I didn't get a chance to try any of their own brews...I'll be sure to venture there when I return.
I gave them the classic bar test: wings & the burger. They passed with flying colors of buffalo sauce and red-red meat.
