Stepping into Hidden Harbor in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood, you're transported from the city's streets to a tropical oasis that feels both sophisticated and cool—two words I, Noodles, don't sling around lightly. The place pulses with a vibe that's as refreshing as the breeze off a Polynesian lagoon. It's here, amidst this lush backdrop, that I found myself sipping on a finely crafted local beer from Independent Brewing, chatting up a Ph.D. economics TA from the nearby University of Pittsburgh. As the evening unfolded, I was struck by the unique mix of patrons. More folks...

So there I was, nestled snugly between Good Friday and Easter, fully prepped for a tranquil night in, when Big Red buzzed me up. With a lure too tempting to resist, he promised a sneak peek into his coveted collection of prime, rare whiskey. How could I say no? The rain was drumming a steady rhythm outside, setting the perfect backdrop for what was to unfold. Off to Big Red’s I went, and let me tell you, those whiskeys weren’t just rare; they were like sipping on distilled legends. But as the rain refused to...

We finally got around to stopping down at Knuckleheads Bar -- Yes, twist our arm. Now granted, we have heard from many people across North Hills about the Karaoke scene here which is regarded as second to none by many. Alas, if you are the Harley Davidson type, Knucklheads is well known for hosting Bike Nights too. Check their website for the next events of these sorts if you plan to roll your hog down to one of these things or bring your best rockstar impersonation. When we were down there, it was early on a Tuesday, and a...

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...
