Review: Fiddlers Bar & Grill
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
I get excited about all kinds of restaurants. There are those restaurants that any foodie would love, those that embrace a healthy dining experience, lunch-oriented sandwich shops—and, of course, those that know how to build a good beer menu. The unifying theme is that they’re all small businesses at heart—anything but a cookie-cutter replica of [...]
Review: Zuppa’s Deli
Posted by mike | Filed under Miscellaneous
As many of you know, I’m a big fan of the independent sandwich shop with free WiFi (prime example). The source of my love is twofold: a good sandwich and a low key place to pull out my laptop. I frequently try to stop at a coffee shop on my way home from work to [...]
Review: Shiloh Grill
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
I’m not a big fan of Mount Washington. That may be a somewhat blasphemous position to take, but I don’t think I’m alone (am I?). Sure, there’s a great view and a chance to ride the incline, but most of the restaurants just don’t stack up. The ones I’ve been to are dated at best: [...]
Review: Ruggers Pub
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
I’ve been to Ruggers something like three times now, and I never seem to get a chance to actually write about my experience. Despite the lag since my last visit, I’m going to write up some thoughts—just because I really think they deserve more attention than they seem to get. When you’re looking for a [...]
Second Take: Carson Street Deli
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
I know. I’ve written about Carson Street Deli before, but they recently changed owners and extended their offerings to include the one thing that could have made the place even better: beer. Good beer, at that. I’ve been sitting on my notes from my most recent visit for way too long, and the addition of [...]
Review: Penn Brewery Restaurant
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
So what was the last thing I wrote up? The restaurant party contest? Times have been very busy at work—weekends and all. The good news: it hasn’t prevented me from trying several new places; the bad news: I haven’t posted anything about those trips. Consider this post a quick stab at getting started on the [...]
Review: Duke’s Upper Deck Cafe
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
Not long ago, I made my way over to Duke’s Upper Deck Cafe for dinner. I had noticed the place a few times in the past, and even stopped there for a beer with my parents when they were in town for Easter. Trust me, my parents are more open to trying a new place [...]
Second Take: Over the Bar (OTB)
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
Some of you may remember my first trip to Over the Bar (OTB). I liked the experience, but have always felt like it wasn’t a very representative trip. I had gone out on a Sunday afternoon after working on projects around the house all morning. As you might expect, the restaurant was nearly empty at [...]
Review: Beer Nutz
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
It’s about time for some FoodBurgh cleanup: going way back in my stack of review score sheets, I have notes for a place called Beer Nutz. I really don’t like the name, but one of the owners emailed me a while back to suggest I might check them out. I’m always on the look out [...]
Review: The Bar at 2132
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
Just before things got really busy for Christmas, I made my way over to the South Side after work to exchange gifts with a pair of friends. For the sake of some new FoodBurgh content, I had suggested we do the exchange at a relatively new place: The Bar @ 2132. I had been there [...]
