Brewski's — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I always loved this bar. Went to Duquesne in the early 90's. I lived exactly across the street on 8th street for a year. This was before cell phones. We took our cordless house phone there, kept it on the bar, perfect reception. Jim and Rachel were always the bartenders for many years. They were awesome. Loved that we always got 23oz drafts for a buck fifty. 25 cent per game of pool, free darts. But that was early 90's. Still went there after I graduated on trips out to the Burgh to see Steelers games and I always made it a point to visit and say hi to Jim. Can't tell you how many times we wrote on the walls. Many many great memories there. I actually watched the OJ Simpson Ford Bronco chase live on tv there. Everyone chanting GO OJ, GO OJ! Crazy. This is without a doubt my favorite bar in Pittsburgh. A dive bar, yes, but it's a place where you can go and not worry about $#!/, and just drink and have fun. I hope whoever's running this place now keeps it like it has...

Down and dirty. Shots poured in plastic condiment cups. Graffiti on (literally) every surface. It's cheap. Decent drafts. It doesn't smell, which is frankly surprising. I get the impression it gets pretty rowdy at night, just by the evidence. I also get the impression staff doesn't put up with any hassle.

This isn't exactly a place for a first date, but it's kind of cozy in it's...

This is hands down- the best bar ever. Friendly, cheap drinks, 2 dartboards, 2 pool tables, foozball, shuffleboard, jukebox, cig machine, and ALL the bartenders are great. Plenty of regulars, including myself. If you come down & check it out I'll buy you a shot! No crazy drama here. Just a good local dive with plenty of character. See...
