Having only been to Bar Marco once, I had only somewhat of an idea what the clientele and drink selections were. I arrived to a swanky cocktail party filled with people dressed to the nines.

Where is the Best Bar to Watch the Steeler Game in Pittsburgh?

Image by Rebecca Williamson via Flickr I have been asked this question more than once and I just don’t have a great answer.  There are lots of bars in Pittsburgh and if they have a TV, you can pretty much bet you can watch the game there. But, there are alot of factors that go into making it a great game day location – the menu, the beer selection, the crowd – I know it was standing room only at Buffalo Blues last Sunday as the crowd was literally spilling out on the the street.
