Dennis GearyDecember 28, 2014Excellent food and drinks! Happy hour deals are fantastic. Phil the bartender is a great guy and made the evening for us. He made us feel at home. Highly recommended this gem of a place.- Jenni MarieOctober 10, 2016Tacos on Monday are great ! Asked the bartender to pick my protein in the and he brought me sausage tacos ! Awesome ! Great beer selection and happy hour prices are on point !
Zara KhanAugust 21, 2014One of my favourite places to hang out on Carson! The menus are really cool (old books) and they have outdoor seating.
Lyndsey SolarMarch 30, 2011I used to work there in the kitchen and I can guarantee that everything is made fresh. They cut their own fries, and their own chicken fingers. They even make their own dough. It's pricey but good.
American Eagle OutfittersFebruary 24, 2012With the best Happy Hour in town (from 5-7 AND 9-11) and delicious food that is named after famous literature, this is a can't miss Pittsburgh hot spot.- Brittany, Assistant Buyer
Best food and atmosphere in the Burgh PERIOD! Jeff the owner could not be a more gracious host. Excellent beer selection as well.- Zara KhanAugust 21, 2014Absolutely, love the Wings of Icarus. The rubs are fantastic and possibly the best chicken wings on Carson.
- This place used to be amazing but has changed a lot within the last year or so. Amazing menu items gone and the happy hour specials are pathetic. Still a decent beer/wine list though.
There's been a recent downsize in the options available for small plates. Wings and poutine are no longer half off during happy hour.
Matt KramerDecember 28, 2014Very friendly wait staff but under staffed. Only 1 person on the floor for a busy Sunday football game day. Poutine fries are great!
Jordan GibsonMarch 4, 2013Their pretzels with beer cheese are incredible. Arguably better than Hofbrauhaus, which I know is blasphemous!
Bill ZieglerSeptember 16, 2012Jeff the owner is the best. The food has always been legit. Always a great draft selection.- Zara KhanAugust 21, 2014The Arabian nights: black bean and hummus plate. An absolute disgrace. Should be taken off the menu.
The Edgar Allen Potatoes with cheese and bacon are amazing. I don't know what kind of cheese it is, but it is heavenly. Read more
The pulled pork nachos are the best. It has to be the best nacho style dish I have ever eaten.
Great happy hour 10pm-12am. Drafts and appetizers half off.
#1 thing I miss since I left Pitt. Get the Slaughter House Four and the fried pickles, you won't regret it!
Abhinav SharmaJune 16, 2012Sit by the window with the books that look so old you'll probably get a sever allergic reaction from touching them
Steve MouzonApril 7, 2011Mighty Casey salad was fairly good... really cool that they'll let you keep the book containing the menu and read it as you eat!
Ask to sit on the upstairs patio. Also, sweet potato fries.
Sometimes on Fridays, a group of people come down after work and practically take over the upstairs... They seem pretty baller though
Half off delicious appetizers during happy hour! Sweet potato fries are awesome!
Angie ByrnesOctober 22, 2011Oof, this place is rotten. From the service to the food to the atmosphere. It's no fun, so just say no thanks!- The beer cheese pretzel's are awesome. The wraps are good too.
- Great food and good beer selection plus has an upstairs, outdoors deck
- Angie ByrnesOctober 18, 2011The service, food, and atmosphere is rotten. Save yourself some frustration & just go down the street to Fat Heads for a better selection of beer and tastier food !
half off apps and drink specials for happy hour!!
Everything is amazing!!! Half price taps from 9-11!!!!!
Try the leffe; men's bathroom has no mirror; try the Catch-22.
Jack PhamDecember 14, 2013Really bad "minty mojito." I think something was just terribly wrong with mine and they don't serve it like that all the time. It tasted like stale seltzer water. No mint, possibly no alcohol.- GoAway NowApril 23, 2011I would recommend the Billy Goat's Gruff, fried pickles, and A LOT of patience. It was not a very busy night but service was s-l-o-w & inattentive.
They just started serving some pretty decent pizza pies. Nice crispy thin crust ones. Give 'em a shot.
Catch-22 was amazing but be prepared to wait awhile for it.

"Large Burger menu with lots of unique toppings. Small seating area. Delicious ground beef mix, perfectly cooked. The onion ring batter is very unique with an inherent sweetness like a donut batter."
