St. Clair in East Liberty (turn off Baum Blvd near Pizza Hut). One of the very best, if not THE best selection of beers in the city. I think they now have 28 taps. Great thin-crust pizza (especially white pizza with spinach and garlic), terrific chicken caesar salad, other regular bar food and Italian stuff. They have darts, too.
Pittsburgh, PA
Neighborhood Bars?
I'm not sure if it counts as "Neighborhood Bar", but I would recommend Sullivan's Pour House on Main St in Carnegie. Good Irish food, and good Irish pints. toodles, gretchen
>I'd add the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern Bloomfield Bridge Tavern is the most overated bar in Pittsburgh. Their food swims in grease. The beer prices are outrageous. Five dollars for a Murphy's draft!!! Bd

They were a good place to go a great selection with prices more reasonable than those at Mad Mex, Fat Heads, and other good beer bars. But their prices have been climbing. I still enjoy going there, but I really wish the prices weren't so high. ***************************************************************** * Jim Mann [email removed] http://www.transarc.com/~jmann/ Marriage should be a balanced stalemate between equal adversaries. -- Amelia Peabody
I like Dunnings in Regent Square. It has a nice long bar, and great Martini's and Draught Guinness. Plus, on Wednesday nights, they show South Park at 10pm. There are ussually about 15 people watching it. The food is great, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. If you go on St Patricks day, get there early, though, because it gets busy early. pj

Are food and beer your only criteria, or do you also want the neighborhood bar look and feel. If good burgers, sandwiches, and other "bar food" and good selection of beer are your criteria, try either Fat Head's or Smokin' Joes on the South Side. If you're looking for a brewpub, try the Strip Brewery or the Foundry in the Strip. The Penn Brewery is also good if you want German food, while Valhalla on the Strip/Downtown border is also worth a look. For decent food, a great beer selection, and a nice neigborhood bar feel, try The Sharp Edge in Friendship. ***************************************************************** * Jim Mann [email removed] http://www.transarc.com/~jmann/ Marriage should be a balanced stalemate between equal adversaries. -- Amelia Peabody
