There's nothing wrong with this bar, but I think maybe we were expecting something a little more. It had a surprisingly good beer selection and all of their drinks were very cute Pittsburgh variations on traditional drinks. For example, the Neville Island was a Long Island Iced Tea with Blue Curacao instead of triple sec to give it a greeny-blue hue. And yet, there was something not quite engaging about the place. Honestly, it might have been the diner-ish quality of the bar; it didn't feel warm or inviting, but rather perfunctory.

So this isn't a bad review, we were just underwhelmed. There was a trainee bartender working, which was pretty cute. Their daily specials were good. There were a few other people hanging around, but it was pretty quiet. It was trivia night, so we had to duck out of there before that got under way. 

It's tricky with the South Side: we don't want to go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday because we know what kind of shit-show that is, but any other night seems to be completely dead and not representative. I guess that's what we've learned about the South Side this year. These are not bars that people go out to for a few drinks any old time, they are bars that people go to to get hammered on the weekends.
