Slip down a back alley and head toward the red light – it feels a bit forbidden, like a tryst with a secret lover. In this case, my secret lover of choice is a glass of Hangar One, and my tryst – a night at PM. The Venue:PM is actually the top floor of D￩j￠ vu; a doorman is positioned outside the door illuminated by a red light on ... Read More

Rolled in here with my boys the other day, and it was poppin'. They had a karaoke going on Friday called the trademark "Cappyoake." I ain't normally for cutesy crap, but it was totally off the hook. Girls galore, great for a single thug like me.Got a little bit hungry part way through- no problem though- kitchen was totally open as a mother. ... Read More

First off I gave this place a 9 because apparently I cant give it a 10, even though it deserves a 12. I had dinner and drinks there last night for the first time with a couple friends. WOW I don't get impressed to often but the service there was second to none. period. I couldnt believe it, the bartender, I believe his name was Rob? (I had a few ... Read More

Since that fateful Saturday night, the Harris Grill has been closed for business, leaving Shadyside in the throes of bacon withdrawal.

During Steelers & Penguins games you will generally find a pretty good crowd there to watch the game. So throw on your Crosby or Roethlisberger jersey and come on down!You'll get a very mixed crowd at Boots, but always a fun and friendly one. ... Read More

I've been to Finn McCools a few times now and have had nothing but a great time. The female bartenders were good looking and quite friendly, and pretty quick when it came to retrieving your beverage! And i'm more than sure that you ladies would love to go down there and shoot the shit with Ed, good lookin guy.After talking with the bar manager ... Read More

A couple friends and I hit this place for Happy Hour on Good Friday after fleeing Bar Louie because we weren't getting served. Nothing spectacular about this place. I certainly wouldn't call it upscale though. Seems kinda like a generic bar/restaurant with a half-hearted western theme. There's two pool tables, two dart boards, a small stage, ... Read More

I miss being able to frequent this place more when I lived 5 minutes away (or maybe it's for the better as far as my liver is concerned). I can say nothing bad about this place. Everything is great. Starting with the draft beer selection, thorugh the bottle selection, then the appetizers and finally the food. Everything is great. It has the ... Read More

This is a good "local" bar with a semi-decent beer selection especially if you get bottled beer. Their food is usually pretty good and they have different specials throughout the week. The entertainment ranges from a DJ that'll play just about anything (with a slant towards country) to all kinds of bands. It's fairly clean inside but can get ... Read More

I don't know if it's a good idea to visit a bar for the first time on St. Patrick's Day but that's what a group of us did last Saturday. We were looking for an "Irish Pub" to celebrate the day. I must say I was a little disappointed in the "Irish-ness" of this place. They actually are trying to make it look a plittle more tropical inside with a ... Read More

BRING YOUR EARPLUGS - ... Read More

Still nothing else quite like the L.L. thanks to scott and steve's aesthetic design daring 15 years ago when it opened ... the drinks have gotten to be very expensive in recent years/months and even moreso now thanks to the drink tax that they've used to justify raising the prices anyway ... I know they have overhead but still ... can be a very ... Read More

Located in the rapidly trendy Lawrenceville/Bloomfield area... this is a 2 leveled and cramped joint that was apparently opened up by 2 yuppies from NYC who wanted to bring a NYC flavored place to town ... a decent tap beer selection and a general liquor / wine selection... a LOT of 'hipsters' and what I call 'trustafarians' ... sons and ...

Love that it's tucked away in the far eastern corner of the flats but it's very EXPENSIVE and NOISY and smoky being that it's a fairly small space ... also, very clique-y seems like so many college-area bars are ... I have felt less than welcome here more than once because I wasn't on first named basis with the regulars or bartenders...the ... Read More
