 Allegheny Brewery (I refuse to call it by it's new
 name which was a totally ridiculous and unnecessary
 change. ;-)) has okay food but the beer is awesome.
 Unless you're really into oom-pa-pa music try to
 go when they're not having it.  A little of that
 goes a really long way. ;-)

 I've only been there once but the food was
 great.  I had the hasenpfeffer.  It was
 delicious.  I really liked it and have wanted
 to go back ever since but just never seem to
 get around to it, mainly due to the area -
 I just don't seem to get over to the North Side
 much.  Hopefully the service has improved.  My
 big complaint was that I wanted bread with my
 salad and the waitress said they don't serve
 the bread until they bring the entrees.  I had
 to bitch to get my bread and it still took way
 too long to get it.  What's the big deal about
 bringing the bread with the salad anyway?  Are
 they afraid people will eat too much bread or
 what?  Anyway, if you have the same problem
 stand up for your rights!  Don't let them
 push you around.  The customer is always right!

 And not mentioned is Kleiner Deutschman in
 Springdale.  Pretty good food, a little more
 expensive than I like but I guess it would be
 classified as moderately priced.  (Okay, so I'm
 cheap.)

 The 'review' from WQED

 A Kleiner Deutschmann, 643 Pittsburgh St., Springdale, 724/274-5022. Kitsch
 and gemutlich in a big multicolored house. Traditional German country dishes
 (sauerbraten, spaetzel, pork and sauerkraut) are cooked from scratch and
 served in huge portions at moderate prices. Bells ring when you order the
 4-pound, five-hour-braised veal shank. T-Sat, 5-10pm. c R s $$
