My dad’s local when it was Tat Sparrows. Fat Heads was the first bar in town, that I know, that sells drafts to go (64oz Growlers). The bar has38 taps and one beer engine. One of the brews on their beer menu all the time was invented by an unknown customer. It comes to you as a blend of Rouge (William) Shakespear Stout and Dead (Jerry Garcia) Guy Ale and touches your lips as the Dead Poet. Could one of them be drinking at Fat Heads? Beer Union is their bottle shop and gift shop located on the second floor.

The bar was featured in several major motion pictures. Flashdance (1983) with Jennifer Beals had parts filmed here. Feds (1988) with Rebecca DeMornay had the front of the bar painted black. In both movies the name of the bar was called Mobray’s. Parts of the Ron Howard movie, Gung Ho (1986) was filmed outside. Cast included Michael Keaton (born in Coraopolis, 1951), George Wendt (Cheers) and Mimi Rogers.

Parking on the South Side could be tight. Meters on the streets are not enforced after 6PM but the 4 metered lots are enforced 24/7 by the Parking Authority. Don’t expect free off-street parking as non-metered lots are private. The spots and garages at the South Side Works are much the same.

There are four Parking Authority lots on the South Side. They have meters or a pay box but and they operated 24 hours a day and enforcement officers can come at any time.. Street parking is either free of metered but the meters are free after 6 PM. Here are the locations of the pay lots:

This is a new development that replaced the former Jones and Laughlin Steel Company (it was taken over by LTV Steel). Here one can find The Hot Metal Grill (the first to open here), Claddagh Irish Pub, the Cheese Cake Factory and soon the Hofbräuhaus. There are several pay parking garages (not listed above) and several banks with outdoor ATM’s (not listed above). The Works lie between East Carson Street and the Monongahela River and between the Hot Metal Grill (South 29^th Street) and South 26^th Street. Any updates will be noted in the listings above.

Other Notes:
The Tuscany Café at E Carson and South 15^th is a coffee shop with a liquor license. The South Side Steak shop at E Carson and South 20^th is applying for a liquor license (summer 2005) I have not listed them above nor do I plan to list new places that may have a license but are not a traditional bar. Whatever I do depends on my state of sobriety.

The pull-tab on a can of beer was developed by Alcoa and first used by Pittsburgh Brewing Co. (Iron City beer) in 1962. These two also came out with the Aluminum bottle. For more fun fact of Pittsburgh, see www.pittsburgh.about.com/cs/movies/a/filmed.htm
