It’s St. Patrick’s Day, so we shall celebrate in that most traditional of venues… a Mexican restaurant.

Tacos, tequila, whiskey, and running. What’s not to like?
The artist formerly known as Round Corner Cantina. (We are on a bit of a Tex-Mex streak, aren’t we? We’ll change that up next week.)
We’ll see your McArdle, and raise you one Pig Hill. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to Scratch.
The NFL Draft is about a week away, let’s scout our game plan before the crowds descend in Market Square.
New place! Enjoy a spring run up on the top of Mt. Washington. (“Enjoy” is a subjective term.)
Park Place Pub was named after the second most expensive square on the Monopoly board. (Not really. I make stuff up sometimes.)
Cinco de Mayo! At Industry! We intentionally avoided all Mexican restaurants! Because we’re not idiots!
We heard it loud and clear: “More Mt. Washington!” So, we’re headed back up the hill.
Allegheny City Brewing, it’s easy as A-C-B.
Hope you had a great Memorial Day. Celebrate the official start of the summer downtown at City Works.
Last week at a German place. This week we go British at Piper’s Pub. Blimey!
We haven’t been to Max’s in a while. Be cool with the player piano, OK? Don’t overdo it. We don’t want to get kicked out.
East End Brewing is a local institution!
Long story short... Too late. (New place, I think!)
If you’re already missing football, maybe consider rugby at Ruggers Pub. All the violence, less padding.
Warm up by the literal fire at Fire Side Pub.
A new place for the running group (I think). Cozy winter run on the North Side.
Looking for a sandwich as big as your head? This is the place.
An old Pittsburgh bar in a new-ish (depending on how long you’ve lived here) location.
New place, by request! We can celebrate Dia de los Reyes! (And enjoy the Oakland calm while the students are still away.)
New Year’s Eve Eve. Start your countdown at 17. Lot 17.
T’was the week before Christmas and… we’re going to Urban Tap.
Time for the holiday lights run! Don’t miss Santa and elves playing baseball at PNC Park - just across from Mike’s Beer Bar.
You can check out the newly installed Pittsburgh Walk of Fame on your route to/from Aslin!
Whoops! Let’s try that again. We’ll go to a place that’s actually still open. Two Frays.
It’s Thanksgiving week. I’m thankful that at least some things in Pittsburgh haven’t changed, like Chupka's 2.
Are you one of those people having nightmares about being trapped in a mall? Don’t worry. Federal Galley is next to the building that used to be a mall.
Cinderlands: It’s where the Spaghetti Warehouse used to be.
Soccer! Football! Soccer! Football! Either way, it’s The Pitch on Butler.
Usually a crowd favorite, Southern Tier!
Come be crafty like a fox with some craft beer at Sly Fox.
Three levels of fun at Sienna Mercato. Take your pick!
Time for some Latin flavors at El Sabor. (That’s literally what “sabor” means!)
Buzz on over to the Beerhive to close out September.
Summer’s not over yet, people! We’re going to try the new literally riverside bar on the North Shore. Weather permitting. If this turns out to be the one day it rains in September, we can head up to Mike’s Beer Bar instead.
Well, at least our schedule maybe brought an end to the drought??
In honor of Back-to-School month, we’ll do something that you (hopefully) never actually did in high school — drinking in The Library.
It’s a new place for PWRD! (Although not new in general.) Two Frays does not have their own food, but there are some yummy options on the block — Spak Brothers Pizza and Tasty Taquitos — that you are welcome to bring in.
New place, new map! (Sorry it’s so late.)
It’s where the Shiloh Grill used to be. RIP: Free Bacon Tuesdays.
Advice I was once given about Burgatory: Just get one of their pre-designed burgers. Don’t waste your time thinking you’re going to come up with one that’s better. There’s a life lesson in there somewhere.
Whether you say Pittsburgh is a drinking town with a football problem or vice versa, Bulldog Pub has both sides of that history covered.
