Rigg's Lounge & Restaurant

This bar definitely qualifies as a little scary looking on the approach.  It has a slightly abandoned feel and, when opening the outer door, there are three sketchy looking doors staring back at you.  Inside, though, it's just your typical yinzer dive bar, so have no fear.

It's definitely way past its heyday, but still pretty cute for what it is.  The padded booths are in good shape and are very comfortable.  The walls are covered in velvet flocked wallpaper, which is covered in years of dust and grime (A: Oh!  It's velvet! touch it!  J: I am NOT touching that.)  It's got a slightly lodgey feel, like so many of these places: wood paneling, fake stone on the wall in the backroom, sconces on the walls.

The crowd is a diverse mix of middle-aged locals.  There was an active game on the bar bowling table and you get the impression that those same guys play every night.  In fact, given the fairly sparse crowd on a Friday night, I'm guessing it is just the same group there all the time.

Drinks are cheap, but the selection is pretty lacking: no draft beers, mid-level liquor selection, domestic cans and bottles.  Someone did offer to sell us a banana for $1, but, other than that (and despite the name), we didn't really see any evidence of food service.  And I wouldn't want to count on the banana guy.
