It seems like Pittsburgh has endless new burger/beer spots opening, and we had high hopes for Fireside based on their location/beer list/menu...turns out they still have a lot of kinks to work out. If they fixed some simple cooking things and tightened up service, they could be a solid four stars.
The good:
-solid beer list, very good prices, half size pours
-parking!
-cozy, albeit generic vibe
The not so good:
-veggie burger was ice cold
-out of avocado (we both ordered things with avocado, weren't told until after the food came)
-gave us the wrong beer
-took a long time for food to come out, despite being only half full - never got checked on afterwards
-the vent on the wood grill must not be strong enough - we were sitting a good distance away and came home smelling like a camp fire
