Jekyll & Hyde

I love themed bars, especially Halloween/scary stuff themed bars. The concept of this place is great. It's a dive-type place with some interesting mixed drinks and cool atmosphere. They really need more help, especially on the weekends, because the poor bartender was in way over her head. I waited 15 minutes to order at one point. This is likely because they have these awesome things called Evil Drinks that have vampire teeth, witch fingers and spider rings decorating them. Awesome touch and great flavors. They have a ton of seasonal brews on tap. Head over there now for a huge pumpkin selection. I'd go back to J&H, but maybe not on a Friday or Saturday night. The DJ was pretty awesome, though!

I had high hopes for this place. As a horror movie fan and lifelong metal head I was really wanting this place to be better than it was. They offer a plethora of shots but all of them sound pretty gross and are all VERY "girly" but I also don't want any liquor that is overly sweet, has high fructose corn syrup, or is primarily based on schnapps. The shot I settled on they were out of the key ingredient.

Full disclosure, I work for Geeks Who Drink, and I was here on business. If I'm not in a bar I'm not working. We run pub quizzes in 30 states and had just expanded to PGH. I wanted to check out the trivia night there. Unfortunately, I was the only person there to play trivia that night. Additionally, in my hour there only 2 other customers showed up. I'll go back if I'm in PGH and give them another try. I really hope their weekend karaoke is as awesome as it should be or I'll be significantly disappointed.

Okay, you got me!  I'm a sucker for themed bars!  

Don't give me a trendy club where every girl's wearing 10 inch heels and a tight dress and every bro is well... a bro.  I want corny, cheesy themes that you can just go in and have some fun!  I want some fun tunes to let loose and a friendly bartender that doesn't look so bored they want to die.  No lie, the bartender touched me, with a fake arm.  You know, the ones you buy from Halloween stores that have blood on the top like it was chopped off.  Fitting right?

Come to Jekyl and Hyde were everyday is Halloween, for realz!  The specialty drinks have a whole list of "Evil Names" that you can choose from, and they won't break the bank either.  Any day of the week they'll have some kind of theme.  It's really just a old fashion good time, with creepy decorations!
