Harvard & Highland

This bar tried to kill J by sneaking death-inducing pecans into the chicken liver pate, but we'll try to not let attempted murder color our review too much. Ahem.

Harvard & Highland is a new space located above Union Pig and Chicken in East Liberty. Everything is still brand new and shiny looking. It is a very classy kind of bar: you're not even allowed to eat your food at the bar, you must eat at a table like a responsible human being. It still has that "New Bar Smell" and we were glad that we got to visit it early on in its life.

It is a lovely space full of light wood, Adirondack chairs, and floor to ceiling windows. On a cold March night it seemed a little out of season, but we can imagine how lovely everything will look on a summer evening. Their main focus is on fancy cocktails (including two draft cocktails) and fancy whiskeys. It is priced accordingly. So, this is not a bar that you would spend a whole night in (unless your tax bracket is way above ours), but it's a great spot to have a drink or two. You can order from the full Pig & Chicken menu, fully sating both your fancy drink and BBQ urges at once.

Things that we learned at Harvard & Highland: 1) There is a BartendersGuild of which there is a Pittsburgh chapter. 2) We don't like chicken hearts. 3) Someone is always out to kill J.
