Great Great So So Good Great
Stopped in this place before a Steeler's game last weekend. Actually, I was supposed to meet somebody at Finnigans next door when I saw a placard in front advertising Chimay or some other decent beer. Finnigans was packed and Bru was empty (aside from the bar) despite having scantily Bacardi babes giveing out free shots. Otherwise I would never have noticed it. They've not spent too much on the furnishings - just a few small tables and some lounging sofa sort of things, but overall a little empty feeling. On to the important stuff, the beer. The beer selection was very good. We had a few bottles of Chimay that were properly served in Chimay glassware and very tasty. The food is nothing special. Think of Bru as sports bar meets lounge meets beer bar. If you're a sports fan who likes good beer in a could-be hip lounge setting, Bru is for you.

Great Awesome! N/A Awesome! Great
Still getting up and running, but well worth a visit if you're in the area for a Pirates game or on the Northside and want a good beer. Quite a lot of bottles available and the five or six I had tasted very good. They had a selection of Dogfish, Stoudts, Troegs, Victory, Great Lakes, Penn, as well as quite a few Belgian styles. Bartender is very helpful and friendly as well. I'd definitely recommend this place over Finnigans next door, which apparently can't be bothered to clean it's tap lines.....but you'll only find that out once you've stood at the bar for 10 minutes looking at them.

Great Great Good Awesome! Great
I checked this place out last week. The bartender Shawn is Great. The selection is exceptional, especially considering what is currently available on the North Shore. It is definitely the only place I will go before and after the Pirates games!

Shawn said they just opened a last week and that is was a quiet opeing while they work out the kinks. He said the beer selection will be growing to more than 100 different bottles.

They also have a pretty decent wine selection as well as some "pretty" looking martinis.

I was really happy to see that this plae was also cigar friendly.

It seems to be a work in progress, I can't wait til it is 100%!
