On a hot Saturday night in June (Saturday, June 12, 2021), I traveled across the North Hills of Pittsburgh to Millvale to meet a friend for a late evening craft beer at the Grist House Craft Brewery. This day featured a nearby event, the Millvale Music Festival, which I intended to grace beforehand. That didn't happen.  I won't get into details, but I have a relative that lives in Millvale, and when I was on the way to the festival, I saw him on his porch. Next thing you know, we're having a drink, and the music festival can...

Tavern In The Wall is a locally owned and operated bar and restaurant located in the Aspinwall community of the North Hills of Pittsburgh. It is everything you expect and needs in a neighborhood bar. You get the sense it is patronized by mostly locals and that their focus is catching up with friends. Yet, it was easy enough to feel quite welcome when I am clearly not a regular at this place.   Living in Ross Township, I have now dropped into this place twice. Tavern In The Wall for me personally turns out to be a great...
