    Excellent 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.

    One of my favourite places to hang out on Carson! The menus are really cool (old books) and they have outdoor seating.

    I 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.

    With 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

    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.

    Best food and atmosphere in the Burgh PERIOD! Jeff the owner could not be a more gracious host. Excellent beer selection as well.

    Absolutely, love the Wings of Icarus. The rubs are fantastic and possibly the best chicken wings on Carson.

    Very friendly wait staff but under staffed. Only 1 person on the floor for a busy Sunday football game day. Poutine fries are great!

    Their pretzels with beer cheese are incredible. Arguably better than Hofbrauhaus, which I know is blasphemous!

    There's been a recent downsize in the options available for small plates. Wings and poutine are no longer half off during happy hour.

    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 Arabian nights: black bean and hummus plate. An absolute disgrace. Should be taken off the menu.

    Jeff the owner is the best. The food has always been legit. Always a great draft selection.

    The pulled pork nachos are the best. It has to be the best nacho style dish I have ever eaten.

    Mighty Casey salad was fairly good... really cool that they'll let you keep the book containing the menu and read it as you eat!

    Sit by the window with the books that look so old you'll probably get a sever allergic reaction from touching them

    Sometimes on Fridays, a group of people come down after work and practically take over the upstairs... They seem pretty baller though

    The 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 !

    #1 thing I miss since I left Pitt. Get the Slaughter House Four and the fried pickles, you won't regret it!

    Oof, this place is rotten. From the service to the food to the atmosphere. It's no fun, so just say no thanks!

    I 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.

    Really 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.
