Synopsis
This is one of the best bars in Pittsburgh, not just the Strip. It has some of
the best beer and food in town, all served by some of the best people I town.
John, the Irishman is a classic bartender. Hardworking but always ready to take
your order. Of all the places in the Strip this was here the longest and there
has to be a reason why.
Bar Hours
Open 7 days. Open early, open late.
Happy Hour
Holiday Closing
Beer, Wines & Spirits
They have 18 beers on draft, more than up-stairs. But their bottle selection is
better up top. As in any real Pittsburgh bar they have all the spirits and wine
too.
Food
This is a seafood restaurant so what else can I say. Well, plenty. They have a
whale of a fish sandwich and they are well known for having the best clams too.
Food Hours
Monday to Friday 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Saturday 7:00 AM to midnight. Sunday
11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Yes, they open on Saturday at 7 in the morning, and for
good reason. This is the Strip where Pittsburh comes to buy produce. Saturday
is market day.
Entertainment
None here but it's just a walk up the stairs.
Cigar Smoking
Roland's is cigar friendly at the bar. The owner, Paul Carozzi will always be
seen with a good one. You will find a good selection for sale at the U of the
upstairs bar.
Parking
Parking in the Strip may look bad but many free spots can be found. The city
has many metered spots as well.
Cash Problem?
The nearest ATM machine is the PNC Bank at the corner of Penn & 21st.
National City Bank has one at Wholey's on Penn Ave. at 17th.
An ATM can also be found at the front door but it is not tied to a local bank.
Legal Notice
My visits may be infrequent and the owners may make changes at any time. In as
much as they like to see me never tell me what they are doing. Call them or
visit their web-site for the latest scoop. Please update me if you see an error
or omission on my part.
