I really dig this place!\n\nIt *used* to be the Elbow Room, and then I moved out of Shadyside, and then I came back and voila!  It's now the super swanky and cozy and much improved 1947 Tavern!  It was like finding out an ex had lost a ton of weight and become super hot and wanted to get back together.   WIN.\n\nI'm a beer drinker, and I enjoy drinking beer in attractive places.  Their patio fits that bill.  Its enclosed, really nice, has a cool modern vibe to it.  \n\nI'm a carb lover.  I love eating carbs anywhere and everywhere, especially carbs with cheese.  I cannot more highly recommend you try the pierogie mac n cheese.  It's the missing piece of your soul.\n\nThis is not the cheapest place to dine, but man cannot live on Subway or Wendy's alone.  It's a great place to take a date, or your mom, or just yourself for a nice cocktail!
