The Pitch on Butler
Soccer! Football! Soccer! Football! Either way, it’s The Pitch on Butler.
Federal Galley
Are you one of those people having nightmares about being trapped in a mall? Don’t worry. Federal Galley is next to the building that used to be a mall.
Cupka's Cafe 2
It’s Thanksgiving week. I’m thankful that at least some things in Pittsburgh haven’t changed, like Chupka's 2.
Primanti's (Garfield)
No, not that Primanti’s No, not that one either. It’s the Primanti’s in Garfield! Yes, they have one too!
Aslin Beer Company
You can check out the newly installed Pittsburgh Walk of Fame on your route to/from Aslin!
Mike's Beer Bar
Time for the holiday lights run! Don’t miss Santa and elves playing baseball at PNC Park - just across from Mike’s Beer Bar.
El Sabor
Time for some Latin flavors at El Sabor. (That’s literally what “sabor” means!)
Shore Thing
Summer’s not over yet, people! We’re going to try the new literally riverside bar on the North Shore. Weather permitting. If this turns out to be the one day it rains in September, we can head up to Mike’s Beer Bar instead.
Well, at least our schedule maybe brought an end to the drought??
The Library
In honor of Back-to-School month, we’ll do something that you (hopefully) never actually did in high school — drinking in The Library.
Two Frays
It’s a new place for PWRD! (Although not new in general.) Two Frays does not have their own food, but there are some yummy options on the block — Spak Brothers Pizza and Tasty Taquitos — that you are welcome to bring in.
New place, new map! (Sorry it’s so late.)
Burgatory
Advice I was once given about Burgatory: Just get one of their pre-designed burgers. Don’t waste your time thinking you’re going to come up with one that’s better. There’s a life lesson in there somewhere.
Bulldog Pub
Whether you say Pittsburgh is a drinking town with a football problem or vice versa, Bulldog Pub has both sides of that history covered.
Primanti's (Downtown)
Market Square is not the original Primanti’s location, but it’s the downtowniest.
Archie's
Fun Fact: The last time PWRD went to this bar was October 2019. We were so young and innocent back then.
Southern Tier
If you close your eyes in one of the Southern Tier’s Adirondack chairs, the traffic on the Fort Duquesne Bridge sounds like the ocean. After you’ve had enough of their beers. Maybe.
Shady Grove
New place for us? I think. Maybe. Probably. It’s where Walnut Grill used to be.
Sly Fox Highline
It’s time for beers and some cornhole next to the railroad tracks. Welcome to Pittsburgh!
Dancing Gnome
The Dancing Gnome is a much happier venue that those run by its cousins, the Pouting Gnome, the Complaining Gnome, or the Farting Gnome.
Mario's East Side Saloon
It’s where Doc’s used to be. (I couldn’t resist. It’s the only way I remember where this Mario’s is.)
Mike's Beer Bar
The Pirates are away (and probably losing), so we can go to Mike’s Beer Bar.
Stack'd (Oakland)
The students are away, so it’s time for some burgers and beers at Stack’d in Oakland:
J. Gough's Tavern
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.
Bigham Street Tavern
Bigham Tavern will see your Bar Trivia, and raise you an Xtreme Music Bingo. It starts at 8. Run fast.
Burghers (Millvale)
New place! Burghers has a new outpost in Millvale. And they claim to be open on Tuesdays!
Dive Bar (South Side)
It’s way nicer than any place called “dive bar” has a right to be.
D's Six Pack & Dogs
Hope you got your taxes done! Perhaps you’re feeling like all you can afford these days is hot dogs. We got you, friend.
Mineo's Pizza
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!)
Urban Tap (Shadyside)
It’s been a couple-two-three years since we’ve been to Urban Tap. Time for a revisit!
