Tuck in a new yet partly vacant strip. The bar is open with outdoor seating on the strip sidewalk. This is my first visit and after sitting there for a little time, I did not like the openness. I was there for lunch and it did get abuzz rather quickly with corporate blackberry swinging warriors. My first tap selection was not available. You have little pieces of paper with the draft list. Update and print a new list. The waitress was all over me to order and even wanted to take my plate away when I put my fork down to type this. I guess they are geared for the "man on the run". The menu is littered with photos of local celebs. Why would that be needed if they were of good sound business and quality. I had a Rueben sandwich and it had plenty of corned beef but it lost the other ingredients somewhere in assembly. It was very challenging to get a clear explanation on 6 packs to go and how it works, or how it doesn’t work for them. I do give props to the beer coolers for being organized and labeled with prices. The prices seem to be some of the more reasonable in the area.

Located in a strip mall just down hill from an ultra high class golf community, open ceilings, loud (often horrible) music and lots of yuppies. It’s also 3 minutes from my house (which is pretty much in the ghetto), so I really want to like this place, REALLY. Honestly, I’ve been there abut ten times since they opened (summer 2005?) and only once have I had a positive service experience. Their calling seems to be hiring former Miss Pennsylvania contestants to tend bar. Maybe it’s because I don’t drive a benz and tout my ping clubs, but I can never get waited on in this place, it’s a damn shame because they really do have a nice selection and their prices are about the cheapest you’ll find in the area ($6 for 22oz ST Oat?!). I’ll keep trying, hopefully one of these years I can get good service.

Best selection of beer in the south hills besides maybe barleys and hops but it is usually very busy. Read cheapdark’s description, it is right on the money.

Went in on a trip to the bank during lunch to check it out as I never knew where it was. For a restaurant , great beer selection but VERY expensive for 12oz bottles. Oddly enough the bigger bottles were probably cheaper than anywhere around here. I hate to harp on the waitresses, but wow..the one I did see was (as I like to call it) "dressing for tips". Didn’t try the food but heard it was very good. Will go back and eat one day.

Not quite what I expected. This place was crowded and they had a pretty small bar.. It was difficult to view the bottled available beers because of the coolers proximity to the crowded bar. It really was not small, it just seemed that way due to the crowd. They did not have a tap menu available and I had to strain to see what was on tap. The girls were very friendly and youthfully attractive. tho very busy. I guess the girls are what brings in so many dudes. Eye candy. A bar full of younger and middle aged Pittsburghers. If you like action and excitement with crowds, check this place out. I stopped in during lunchtime on a Friday, perhaps that is why it was so busy. Busy means it is a good place to hang with yer buds. Most every table and bar spot was occupied. Though they had many taps I opted for a bottled brew since I already tasted everything that was on tap. They have a special discount every day for a certain bottle beer. Unless the bottle is on special, the bottled beer is a little pricey.

Fun place with a great selection of beer on tap, they have added taps and now have 20 . The overall feel of the bottle shop is open and airy with the best looking staff in the burgh. Usally have 5 or 6 unique drafts that make it worth the trip....

If you’re looking for a loud college bar, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a nice crowd, a relaxed approach and attentive staff (not to mention attractive too), this is it! A large selection of bottles to choose from. Not in a high traffic location at night.
