In the beginning of January, I met my friend Steve at House of 1000 Beers for beers and tacos (a dynamic duo). This was my first visit to a House of 1000 Beers. They have two locations, one in New Kensington and the other in Warrendale. I made sure to clarify which one we were going to meet at since I am known for showing up at the wrong bar or location quite often. For instance, La Palapa in Southside…
As you may know by now, I like to ride my bicycle on the random days off I get during the week. I use this time to meet up with friends for lunch downtown, hit the gym, work on my blog, and sometimes grab a drink before returning home. One place in particular I like to venture for a post lunch beverage is Redfin Blues located right in Washington’s Landing Marina at 100 Waterfront Drive. My favorite time to come for…
I have not talked about my love for Doce Taqueria‘s tacos in a long time. Doce Taqueria is one of the very first places I went to when I started sharing my love for tacos in the blog. Since then, I have probably recommended Doce Taqueria the most to friends looking for the best tacos in the Burgh.

I am a planner so I figured since I was playing racquetball in Greensburg, I would try some tacos in the area as well. One of my coworkers told me to try a relatively new place in Greensburg called Bull River Taco Co. located at 5256 Rt 30 in…
A few Fridays ago, I had my mind set on Thai Spoon in Dormont because I heard it is amazing and love trying out new restaurants. However, last minute I started to think of other restaurants I haven’t tried yet. On my list of places to go was Bigham Tavern. When I looked at the menu and saw Bigham Tavern had a taco section I was set on that. I also read that Bigham has bar games so I was equally…
During my last year of living in Southside area of Pittsburgh (3 years total), I went to The Library (2302 East Carson Street) quite frequently for happy hours, darts and pool. I was attracted to The Library because of its amazing happy hour special, wide selection of drinks, high quality food, my favorite bar games, a cozy, literary themed atmosphere, relaxed people (a lot of young professionals) and a minimal crowd. The classic hammered brass bar is also a nice…
