Fresh off the plane from NYC, a hard sell getting the local cab driver, Chaz, to take us to this part of town. Don't be put off: yes, you're gonna drive through some seamy hoods but fear not - you're going in the right direction and it is so worth the trip. This old school cocktail joint will not disappoint. With fab neon, vintage fixtures, hot sassy barmaids and cool crowd - you'll find equisite cocktails, killer 4-cheese macaroni and mouth watering burgers and steak fries and a post-punk-alt-country-80's-tinged duke-box which will set the tone for your third cocktail.\r
\r
Make the effort and you will be rewarded ten-fold. It's a $15 cab ride - 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Don't hesitate. You'll love it!
Pros: old school flavor with new school appeal, coctail specials $4 martini tuesdays, hot sassy waitresses
Cons: scenic drive - but what the hell - you're not in disney now
