The Bar Association for the win!
Took the wife out and couldn't have been happier here! Great drinks, amazing food and Ashley was a fantastic bartender. Yes, the food takes awhile but it's well worth the wait, and that's just more time to drink š
Definitely added to my growing list of "must return" restaurants. I had the handmade burger with bacon and blue cheese, an old fashioned and flying dog hazy IPA. The wife had MA, THE MEATLOAF! and a kinky squirrel martini.
The food was great!! Took a while to get, but perfection takes time, and MAN, did they deliver! Started with a perfect poutine - best weād ever had. The crab bisque was similar to those Iād tried in Connecticut and was absolutely delicious. Finally, my entree was the chicken po-boy (added white cheddar to it) and Iām still thinking about how good that was. Super crispy chicken, a touch of spice that wasnāt overwhelming, the nice acidity of the pickles with the fresh bite of arugulaā¦perfection.
I would 100% eat here again. Iām in love!
Honestly the best bar in the area! Amazing staff and exceptional cocktails! Lauren and Jenelle were so kind and so informative and helpful! If you havenāt been here, you without a doubt need to try it! You wonāt be disappointed!
Best meatloaf- ever! Hot, juicy, and topped with candied bacon, the meatloaf was a delightful surprise. Even the mashed potatoes were wonderful. It was all served in a big bowl, covered in gravy, Paired with a glass of Silver Mark red, it was a filling, tasty, and unexpectedly gourmet meal.
Give them a try- you won't be disappointed.
(And i make a great meatloaf myself!)

Pricey (everything is about $2-3 more than what it should be), but a pretty good hole-in-the-wall
The name is misleading considering their lack of knowledge about IBA cocktails (they should be called "The Martini Association" given their focus). On St Patrick's Day I stopped by for an Irish Coffee as a light pick-me-up, but what I got instead was a mug of coffee mixed with a shot of Jameson and Bailey's on the side. Disappointing, but par for the course for Greater Pittsburgh suburban bars.
Today I tried the meatloaf ($14) and a pot of gold martini ($9) since they were still doing St Patrick's Day "deals". The meatloaf was good but reminded me of salisbury steak on top of mashed potatoes with two candied bacon strips on top rather than meatloaf (expected a tomato based sauce rather than gravy). The martini was more of a sugary drink served in a martini glass than an actual martini.
Atmosphere-wise they have some nice garage door-styled windows for air control, and plenty of flat screens featuring sports coverage. There is a small room dedicated to sit-down dining, a bar, and a neat backroom with a shuffle board alongside typical bar games. On average the crowd seemed to be Gen-X aged with some older millenials.
While the location may be a tight seize, it's totally worth it. Trendy/modern atmosphere, well designed, great food with a great menu, amazing drinks and great prices. Bonus points for having a public parking lot just out front of the building too! What a gem!
Ordered the following and loved all of it: orange creamsicle martini, old fashioned, burger, cream cake sandwich, chicken po'boy, and fries with poutine.
