Great Local Eats

You won’t find chain restaurants in here, just great local food joints with unique offerings!
They have two great wraps that are my go-to’s: chicken shawarma and beef gyro. They have strange hours of operation, so make sure to check if they're open before you go.

For Thai, this place is easy and delicious. Only a short drive away makes it ideal for take-out. If you plan to eat in, it’s BYOB, so make sure to grab something up the street before you go if you want more than just their delicious Thai Iced Tea!

Watering Holes

I can’t speak to the food here, but for a casual pint of beer with local Penn Hillers, 75-cent pool, darts, and a jukebox, this place ain’t bad.

I go here for wings and a beer fairly regularly. It’s a fun bar to sit at if you like sports. Only 8 minutes away.

Essentials

Anything else you may need nearby.
This place has a great selection, but not a very sophisticated clientele base. Because of this, you must take care when selecting IPA’s, because they could be very old having sat on the shelf there for too long. This place is just up the street!

Decent wine selection, but for a prime selection you must head to the Monroeville store.

Walter’s has it all! ...great brunch, great beer, great atmosphere, outdoor games, delicious BBQ! Although best in spring and summer, you can’t go wrong here.

Simply put, these folks cannot make a bad beer! They have consistently produced top-notch beers that make me do a double-take after my first sip. Their brew pub is only open seasonally, but you can still find them on tap around town, so keep an eye out. But if their brew pub is open, it’s certainly worth a trip over there if you love great beer.
