Absolutely one of the best bars in Pittsburgh. The beer is cheap and served in massive steins that are incredibly cold (hate using the term “ice cold” lol). Lots of reviews complain about smoking but I firmly believe that smoking is what makes this place so charming. It’s rugged but such a great time every time I visit.

The most perfect dive bar experience!! If you’re anything like us when you travel & want to feel like you’re right down the road from home, this is it.. Jenica (spelling is probably way off) but that bartender was the best!!

Nice chill bar, with cheap drinks. No food, but ordered pizza and got it delivered to the bar.

We got two Miller Lite bottles. We were told our tab was $7. We put a $20 on the bar and never received our change. When we asked the bartender where our change was, he said he had already given it to us. I hope he enjoys that very generous tip, lol. We unfortunately will not be returning due to poor service, but the atmosphere was great!

A guy that works there that wasn’t even on the clock was a jerk. We asked for a drink towards the end of the night and he continued to say we were jerks for it. Long haired red head or strawberry blonde. Then as we were rounding up our friends to leave he continued to tell us, “inside or outside” because we were holding the door open for our friends to leave. Wish I could take back my 25 dollar tip on a 30 dollar check. Been going to take a break since the early 2000’s, felt very un-welcomed this time. Also, the whole crew were all service industry so we all tipped well and were polite the hour we were there… definitely do not recommend. The bartender with glasses working was cool.

would definitely patronize this place more than just the once if I didn't have to wash my clothes six times after visiting
