| - Man, I've been going to Shady Grove since 2008, and it's a place with many of my fond memories. That being said, it's also been a place where I've had some of my worst memories too. Perhaps due to being in college and learning how to frequent bars for the first time. Yikes.
Beer specials are pretty good here, and wine night back in the day was a pretty big hit. I remember that they would close off Walnut Grill at night, which I thought was strange. They should have all the space available, because it can get super crowded here. The food here is pretty decent. A little more on the expensive side for Pittsburgh, but who am I to complain? The pizzas are all pretty good and the sandwiches are nothing to sniff at.
Service is pretty spotty, both at the bar and the tables. Bartenders are not generally attentive and the waitstaff is usually short-staffed, so it takes awhile for you to get things like water or other small requests. Also, they're not very friendly, which is disappointing. But, it's never really been enough to ruin anything. Overall, Shady Grove is a decent bar/restaurant with subpar service. If you're looking for a low-key drink or meal during the week, Shady Grove is a solid place for just that.
