Editorial Review for Shadyside Saloon – by Ernessa Carter
The Scene
Located in one of Pittsburgh's trendier neighborhoods, Shadyside Saloon's relaxed jeans and T-shirt environment might come as a surprise to the first-time visitor. And that's exactly what ower, Mike Pistella, had in mind when he opened the doors last September. "He wanted a neighborhood bar in Shadyside," says the Saloon's manager. "We just want people to be comfortable."
The Crowd
Shadyside Saloon plays host to a ton of regulars who all seem to know each other. On weekdays it's mostly couples and fratboys, so don't go in anticipation of the hook-up unless you like frat boys. But weekends find the small space packed, with students of the law and medical variety and young professionals.
Across the Street
The Saloon enjoys a rather symbiotic relationship with the adjacent Harris Grill. When it gets too crowded over there, patrons slip over to the smaller bar and then back and forth for the rest of the night. In fact, the Saloon, which does not serve food, keeps a copy of the Grill's menu on hand and invites patrons to order food from Harris's and bring it back to the Saloon to enjoy with a drink.

Insider Tips
Stuff To DoBig draws include the electronic dartboards, TVs in every corner for the sport fans, and a Touch Tone jukebox. A sort of Buffalo Blues (the other Shadyside bar has the same things, but bigger and better) but on a smaller and more intimate scale.
Serious TapForget about the beers, check out all the hard liquor on tap, including upside down bottles of Jim Bean, Southern Comfort, Stoli's, and Grey Goose Vodka.

I have been going to the Shadyside Saloon for 6 years. I think I have my own reserved seat. It is very much like a "Cheers" if you go there frequently enough. I like having a place where everyone knows my name. Very friendly, a bit chilly, but great place to meet up with friends!

Great bar-very chill--excellent dart boards, nice selection of booze. Service is h_t or miss. (h_i_t is an inappropriate word???) Some of the bartenders are really on the ball and some just stand around starring at their own clevage.
