 Synopsis
Valhalla is the Nordic name for Odin's Den.  Take a good look at the huge windows.  They are actually garage-type doors that open on nice days.  To get to the outside deck just go up the stairs and along the catwalk. The beer and food has always been top-notch.

 Bar Hours
Opening time is 11:00 AM from Monday to Saturday and noon on Sunday.  They will not close before midnight.

 Happy Hour
Beer is half price between 5 & 7 PM from Monday to Friday.

 Holiday Closing
They look to be open most holidays.

 Beer, Wines & Spirits
The bar has two sets of tap, 4 beers each.  Odin's Offering is the beer special of the month.  They brew a mix of lager and ale styles.  They have a great, but not overly hoped Pilsner and a well made Wheat.  Of course they have wines and spirits.  The upper lever has a service bar so being served should not take long.

Your taste buds will be sending you thank you cards for bringing them here.

 Food
The food here is top quality and not out of line for what you get.  If your lady companion is not fond of beer the menu should delight her.

 Food Hours
Serving hours begin with opening hours.  The kitchen closes at 11:00 PM Monday to Thursday.  Friday & Saturday closing is midnight and Sunday is 10:00 PM.

 Entertainment
Sunday night (at 8) is jazz night.  Thursday is blues night.

 Cigar Smoking
Cigars are sold at the bar so smoking them at the bar should be OK also.  The bar is isolated from the eaters so smoke should not bother them.

 Cash Problem?
The nearest ATM machine is the National City Bank at Wholey's on Penn Ave. at 17th.  PNC Bank has one at the corner of Penn & 21st.  Valhalla is near town but you can park at these two locations.

 Parking
A pay lot is across the street but is not a part of Valhalla.  Additional parking can be found on nearby streets. Do not park in the private lots behind the building.
