I recently visited The Sonoma Grille on Penn Ave in the cultural district for a sampling of their finest dishes.
Sonoma General Manager Randy Wright was friendly and visibly passionate about his chef’s offerings. The restaurant’s tagline is “a meal without wine is like a day without sunshine” and this statement resonated through out the dining area which made me feel like I was enjoying a Napa Valley sunset.
I recently visited Seviche for a tasting of their finest offerings during a warm Pittsburgh spring evening.
During happy hour, Seviche offers a special menu with select tapas for $5, select glasses of wine for $4, special cocktails (including mojitos) for $5 and Latino beer for $3. Seviche also has Chickita Tuesdays when all ladies get their first drink on the house, all day long.
Seviche’s mojito selection is crisp and refreshing; I enjoyed the Seviche Mojito Classico, made with Bacardi Superior rum, muddled mint, fresh lime juice, mint infused simple syrup and a splash of soda. They also have peach, key lime, mango, mixed berry, and banana flavored mojitos. Continue reading
Image by ginsnob via FlickrThe kind souls who write the e-newsletter for the Big Burrito group included this handy list of Happy Hours in their last email (as well party with Chef Bill Fuller). I thought it would be wise to republish this list here for future reference. Where else do you go for happy hour? Please leave a comment below or send an email so we can keep adding to this list.
I have blogged about Green Drinks here at IheartPGH and I have attended some of these events in the past. Green Drinks is an international happy hour where anyone who wants to talk about all things green can meet up with other green thinkers. There are Green Drinks gatherings in cities all over the world. The Pittsburgh Green Drinks usually meets up at Bossa Nova on the 3rd Friday of every month. While I like Bossa Nova – it is really not the best place to have a meet up like Green Drinks – it gets a little too loud and it is hard to have a real conversation in a place like Bossa Nova on a friday evening.
This month – Steel City Biofuels will be hosting Green Drinks at their new offices which
are located in Point Breeze (they are in the same building as Construction Junction). I was lucky enough to be invited there for lunch earlier this summer. Their new offices are great and this will be a great chance to learn about Steel City Biofuels and check out a Green Drinks in a not-so-loud location. Beer will be provided by the local brewing establishment and Pittsburgh lover East End Brewing.
