 Synopsis
A neo-industrial building offering classic old-world style beers and ales.

 Bar Hours
Open seven day a week.

 Happy Hour
Monday through Friday from 4:30 and 7. They have other specials from time to time.

 Holiday Closing
Open most holidays.

 Beer
The beers are brewed on site and consist of English & German styles. The English Ales are very much true to form for contemporary beers found in the UK today. They are not overly hopped and of moderate alcohol strength. The German styles have a good malt taste and are well rounded. Although this is a nation chain the brewer has a lot of discretion and tweaks his brews for the local market.

 Wines & Spirits
A full selection of spirits.

 Food
The menu offers dinners and sandwiches but no bar snacks like chips or Blind Robins (thank god). The food is good and you would do well to come hungry.

 Food Hours
Same as the bar.

 Entertainment
The have live music during late evenings and pool tables for your pleasure.

 Cigar Smoking
I would ask at the bar before lighting up.

 Cash Problem?
An ATM is across the front lot. A PNC bank ATM is located in the Giant Eagle nearby.

 Parking
Plenty of free parking out front and all around
