| - Atmosphere - a bar for bicyclers with bikes hanging all over and arty photographs of Pittsburgh and/or bicycles or both some for sale. On walking in I thought we'd made a mistake on seeing the very small bar with a couple tables then walked up a couple stairs in the back to a room with 10-12 tables. Mid-Sunday afternoon there were a couple beer drinkers and as we left a Triathlon group of 10-15 came for a meeting.
Service - surprisingly excellent for a bar considering we were the only ones eating at the time and brought 2 kids with us. Kids were offered coloring books and a selection of markers. One small topping mistake with a burger was quickly remedied and even the chef/cook apologized in passing which was exceptionally nice.
Food - the menu is fun with wild mixes of toppings (peanut butter bacon burger, burger on a salad) that looked fun to try. The kids' meals (usually 2.99) were actually free (Sunday special) and there are a few typical offerings that come with fries, applesauce or celery/carrots.
Burger 1 - Primanti style with egg, cole slaw, fries - was a strong good. 3 stars
Burger 2 - Veggie (all burgers can be made turkey or veggie) boca-style dipped in hot sauce with hot pepper cheese, bacon (yes!), lettuce, tomatoe, blue cheese dressing on side. Delicious. Bun was soft yet not too squishy.
Onion rings - can choose for .95 extra instead of sides. Delicious beer batter, perfectly cooked real onions inside, generous serving. Could have used a little more salt in batter but forgiven because tasted homemade instead of an oversalted mix.
Pretzel appetizer - yummy, typical baked not fried, served with a yummy cheese that seemed like a real cheese spread made with butter instead of plastic nacho cheese. If so quite surprising.
One surprise is that most of the choices on the menu were not very healthy for what you'd think would be a healthy-eating bicycling crowd. Maybe if you triathlon then you don't need to watch what you're eating. The salads were few and very simple. More thought went into the burgers and the sandwiches. There were a a couple simple vegetarian with cheese paninis and the veg burger options and the seitan wings that we didn't try.
Overall primarily a bar with fun and pretty good sandwiches and burger and a couple salads. I'd return for fabulous happy hours and daily specials. $5 burger night for example. $10 any sandwich and a beer night.
