SoHo

Let's go Bucs! We decided to hit up the bars around PNC Park during a game to see what they were like while the Buccos were playing. First of all, they are all super packed right before the game. We settled on SoHo just because we could get some seats and order some food.


SoHo is the bar for richer older people to go to before the game. They don't want to cavort with the lesser folks in their lesser bars, so they go to SoHo. It is nice there, fancy and stuff. We ordered food, settled in, and started watching the game. (We had a special guest appearance by one of our editors. Going with tradition, we will call her C.)


The menu is good; A had a French Dip, J had French Onion Soup, and C had a turkey club, all very passable. The space is very large with a rectangular bar in the middle of the room. The service was prompt and friendly, and A got Jameson 18 for free by accident! For only discovering Jameson 18 year about two weeks ago, it sure has come up a lot recently. 


J had a disappointing interaction with one of the bartenders, though. Looking at a tap of Penn Oktoberfest, J asked “Is that the Penn Oktoberfest?” She thought this was a rhetorical question. The bartender replied, “No, it is just regular Penn.” J wasn’t sure what that meant and said, “Penn Pilsner? Penn Gold?” and got the same reply, “Just regular Penn.” So, they are not the most knowledgeable bunch.


This place is nice, but pricey. It keeps the riff-raff out. You do have to be around these guys (see picture). So, pick your poison really. We doubt we will ever go back there and we wouldn't tell you to go out of your way to go there.


When we left, the Bucs were losing 3-0.
