They have Salsa day, Game day, Poker night, and a couple of other event nights keeps them busy, always enough room for a couple more to join in, so come find a night you'll like and join in. The beers, they didn't have many beers to choose from, one thing about a brewery like PTB is that they are limited to the beers they make, and only four beers to choose from on this night. They were selling small sandwiches from a local vendor for $10.00 dollars, a little high for a small sandwich which was just ok. Bring your own food it would be better. What I did not see was a television, which would be nice if you want to watch a Game or the Olympics that are coming soon. . Street parking only, so you will have to walk st least a block. Worth coming again. Check to see what they are having each day. This review could have easily been 3 stars, but I am optimistic that things will get better here.

Iron City Tavern -- San Pedro's Embassy of Pittsburgh…read more Walked into Iron City Tavern expecting a beer. Walked out three hours later knowing a guy named Tony's divorce history, the proper way to make a cheesesteak, and why the Steelers would've won in 2004 if the refs weren't apparently involved in an international conspiracy. The décor can best be described as "Pittsburgh sports memorabilia meets San Pedro uncle's garage." There are TVs everywhere, and I'm reasonably certain changing one away from a Steelers game is legally classified as aggravated assault. The regulars immediately know you're not a regular because they've apparently been occupying the same barstools since the Clinton administration. Give it twenty minutes, though, and somebody will buy you a beer, explain which bartender you should never piss off, and introduce you to six people whose names you'll forget immediately. Then there's the food. You order a cheesesteak thinking, It's a neighborhood bar--how good could it possibly be? Annoyingly good. Now you're sitting there at 1:17 p.m. on a Wednesday eating a sandwich the size of a driveshaft, drinking your second beer and wondering how this became your afternoon. Service appears to operate under the traditional San Pedro system: If they like you, you're family. If they don't know you yet, give it a minute. If you're an asshole, there's probably another bar down the street. Dress code: whatever you were wearing when you decided you needed a beer. Reservations: Craft cocktail presentation: absolutely not. Properly poured drink: you bet your ass. Overall, Iron City isn't trying to be an Instagram bar. It's the kind of place where the bartender remembers what you drink, the guy next to you has an extremely detailed opinion about football, and there's a legitimate possibility you came in for lunch and somehow stayed for dinner. 5/5 -- Would accidentally become a regular.

That has not happened, or at least not that I can recall. But, this place has helped me experience some memorable nights. Was it a fairy tale like event, no? But I am not a Disney princess so the shoe fits for what this place offers me, a non-Disney princess. This place really comes alive during fleat week. That is when the sailors and marines come to town to bring the white and blue party boom. So this one time, many years ago, the sailors and marines were out in force. And I was in this place with a friend. And we asked this young marine if he would like to dance, and he acted if the admiral of the base had given an order. He said of course, and twirled while holding his hat. He was invited and delivered a spin in between us. And then there were these sailors doing this group dance. All their arms were connected and they were going in and out. That is the best way to describe their dancing. Oh and they were making grunts as they jumped in and out of the circle. I broke the arm chain and started jumping with the sailors. They tolerated the invasion, I had fun and remember it fondly. Their joy was broken but I seared a memory into my life at this bar, the night I did a group dance with sailors that was not the Hora or the Macarena or the Cupid Shuffle. Recently, I was there and learned that they have a Karoake night. And, in fashion, I saw a group of bar revelers link and sing. Their notes did not matter. Their song was their group uniting in a moment that can go embarrassiing but because they came together as a group the embarrasment could not find its place amidst their literal glee. We are justi having fun in a fun of crowd. I saw the message. I saw the group be one in their boozy mirth. This apparently happens every Thursday. One Thursday I'll sing. In a group or by myself is besides the point cause I will warble. There was another star in this roomy watering hole. I was minding my bussiness, on my computer while listen to the airpods. I distract myself within the distraction. And this bartender namceud Ryna jeust comes in and checks in on me. Like wow this is server that makes cmeu feel seen, respect, and like I want to be heard. That is the mark of a person who takes service as a duty that has the potential to make the world better, not just my day.

That is custom, that is tradition and for most it meant to inject fun into life. In my opinion, what maximizes the fun is when a person quips or puns using their custom as fodder for the joke. For instance, on one Halloween. I called my insurance and the person on the phone told me that she was dressed as cat. At the end of the conversation, I was meant to rate her and I said do not worry your service was "purrr-fect." How long have you been waiting to say that joke? She replied. Since the moment she told me she was cat. So when I played and partied with sailors and marines I expected for similar jokes to be made since, in a way, they were in uniform/customs. Like when, me and another civilian played pool with two Sailors they introduced themselves as Diane and Scott, not Officer Sampson and Officer Aguilera. Then we just played a regular game of pool. They did not say things like, prepare for the onslaught of seafaring sailors. So I did not get a chance to say I will sink your battleship as I perfectly aligned my eight ball to a corner pocket. Basically, they were civilians in uniform they were not sailors playing pool. Makes sense, they were sailors on leave so their sea related puns must have stayed on board their ship. Regardless, the party experience with sailors and marines was fire in the hole. And this bar is one of the central places where the sailor party can be felt because San Pedro welcomes them once a year during Fleet Week. It is common sense but Sailors and Marines spend their time locked up, in a ship, or in base, or somewhere else. So when they step to land, the goal must be clear: party with restrained abandon. And this hope encompasses all around, so it is hard to not become a party animal. Imagine that they are the moon, and all around are party-wolves. When they rise, so do the party time howls. I can see this bar becoming a draw for partiers for a weekend. Some people may never come to Crimsin for their cocktails but I hope they come here for the sailors and marines. During this past Fleet Week, I bought a beer for a Marine named Thomas. He also did not say my name is Hightower or Olson or MacDonald when I asked for his name. He still accepted the beer and said thank you for the support. So I may not march in a parade supporting Marines, but still Thomas made me feel like paying for a Marine's drink was showing support for the freedoms that the armed warriors of this country provide. Yes, I know I did not run the SSO but still I was thanked for my support for a Marine. In the grand scheme of things, I accept his gratitude and trust that he meant his words. On a previous Fleet Week, me and a sailor both ordered from a bartender. The bartender ignored me and tended to the sailor. Makes sense, he was the guest of honor. And the sailor treated my drink too. Mad respect. And I hope it is the high seas that taught him to show respect to another for not all wars are won with missiles and bayonets. So the moment not only affords the right to party but it also affords the right to witness the evolution of military culture and how it has arrived to hold people with good values, a good heart, and compassion in their actions.

Those things showed up looking innocent and left me questioning every other order of fries I've ever had. The wings were fire, the hot fudge sundae was the perfect grand finale, and Sloan behind the bar was an absolute gem. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and whatever she shook up behind that bar should probably come with a warning label because it was that good. This place has that neighborhood hangout feel where everybody seems welcome, the food comes out hot, and the drinks keep showing up exactly when they should. Between the fries, the wings, the sundae, and Sloan's hospitality, I'd say this place earned itself a regular customer. -Health, wealth, and extra cheese to everyone involved.

Funny what writing helps you remember, and hopefully what you remember is good stuff. Before I stepped into this bar, I expected it to be a Diver bar, in the grittiest sense, but I was wrong, it is a Dive bar in the most exciting of ways: It is a collection of tchotchkes (a fancy word for trinkets) that when admired as a whole and then independently give this place a whimsical personality. Imagine having a friend that when invited to a pool party wears a bikini with a fun print--- like cherries or flamingos, and is always down for a shot and playful mayhem. Being around this type of personality amps up the party soul of a moment because their vibe is that of a buzz-nurturer. Meaning that when I was in the bar, and all it has to offer, made me want to have a good time, regardless of what I carried in from the outside. The place gives immediate Tiki Bar vibes but does not carry the moment to full fruition. For example, in my pictures I show curtains with Tiki Idols, and a light fixture adorn with its own hula skirt but the Tiki motif does not transport one to a Luau where dancers sway as they wait for a pig to finish roasting. Instead, the Tiki vibes are sharply contrasted with posters and other keepsakes that are both aspiration and life lessons. For instance, one reminds us to leave your drama outside. Another hanging placard lists advisories that (straight) men should adhere when hitting on women. One of these is the fact that some women's sexual preference is NO. Another poster explains what happens when girls drink too much. One of the 10 outcomes is that women confuse the kitchen floor for their mattress when laying down. Like I said, all of these small and bigger touches combine to give this place a personality that draws one to have a good time. For me, there were two standout items in the place- 1) a jukebox and a 2) pool table. I was with three people that played pool better than me. One of them explained the purpose of a chalk mound. One is suppose to rub the place between their thumb and index finger to get chalk right in there. Then rub the chalk on the stick. This will create less friction which will help you shoot better. I did all that. This moment also allowed me and another member of my group to have a lot of hard wood jokes-- what are you going to do, we were having a good time at this place, and these jokes felt right. The jukebox was also free. I played Ariana Grande's version of Popular from Wicked and I felt the song. I was warbling loudly, and off key, and dancing because I was feeling the tune and the drinks. At the end, some of the people in the bar clapped and hollered. I went to put in another song I was stopped, the regulars were watching football on a Sunday, go figure. That is the thing about this bar, it is a regular's bar. People knew each other, people knew I was the first timer. Like when I spoke, two or three people answered my question. When I was looking for the key a customer directed me to it. So this place is definitely a place where regulars are at. And if you know anything about dive bar culture, regulars who know each other make a community. So you will need to navigate these dynamics if you attend. For instance, one of my friends was in the bathroom, doing the business of two. A regular opened the door and my friend was like, I am here, closed the door. The regular did not close the door, instead he made a joke about leaving the door just a bit open, while being a bro about it. I was horrified just being a witness. But between bar flies these type of jokes might be understood as joyful. But it would take me an alternate life to find humor in potty politics. I was introduced to the White Tea shot and it has become my new shot so this place left a mark on my taste buds. The shot at the end had this strong green tea taste. The prices were right too! I can't wait to go here again, when the party vibe calls me forth! Oh and it is cash only, unless you spend 40 and above then it is card appropriate.
