It’s been a couple-two-three years since we’ve been to Urban Tap. Time for a revisit!

It’s pizza night! Heads-up: This place is cash only. (Time to turn the tables on all those card-only places. It’s old school!)
Hope you got your taxes done! Perhaps you’re feeling like all you can afford these days is hot dogs. We got you, friend.
It’s way nicer than any place called “dive bar” has a right to be.
New place! Burghers has a new outpost in Millvale. And they claim to be open on Tuesdays!
Bulldog Pub is the rockin-est place in Morningside. Join us!
Bigham Tavern will see your Bar Trivia, and raise you an Xtreme Music Bingo. It starts at 8. Run fast.
Apparently when this Greenfield spot was on the schedule earlier this year, it was a ghost town. Probably because of the sub-zero weather. There was a special request to try again.
Try the shrimp jammers! This is Redbeard’s downtown location.
Here’s a map - it’s from a place a bit further up Penn. (Map Guy is on vacation.)
Word on the street is that Nico’s finally nixed smoking inside, so we’re giving it a try.
RIP Blue Dust. There’s a new BBQ joint in town! Well, by “in town,” I mean “in Homestead.” Worth it!
It’s Mardi Gras! Eat, drink, and be merry at Piper’s Pub.
Villa Reale isn’t open late enough for us party animals. Nearby Sienna Mercato should be.
North Shore. Southern Tier.
It’s still so dark out, it feels like the 11th Hour. But it’s bright inside.
Come on, Caliente’s website is worldsbestpizza.com. If it’s on the internet, it has to be true, right? Pay attention: this is the one in Aspinwall.
Ruggers Pub: a bar where missing a few teeth is the norm. (Rugby isn’t messing around.)
New isn’t always better. Silky’s is a long-standing institution.
Say it out loud. Say it again, but faster. Get it? The run is from Greenfield this week.
Happy New Year! Warm yourself by the fire at Fire Side Pub.
We’re calling an audible, and going to Nadine’s (Apparently Michael’s no longer has booze. It’s not Dry January yet, people!)
Hidden Harbor: It’s where the fanciest gas station was in the 1930s. (Requested by Terry)

Beerhive: It’s where Saloon on the Strip used to be. (Suggested by Tim)
New place! Lawrence Hall. It’s where an 1890s warehouse that was used a movie theater used to be.
(Lolev seemed like a good idea, but they don’t have food trucks on Tuesdays. Whoops.)
New place! Brillobox: It’s where Penn Cafe used to be, and way before that, Ninehouser’s. And it’s been a tavern since 1895. That’s a track record. (Suggested by Jen)
Here’s the map. (Happy Thanksgiving!)
