If you're downtown and looking for a good spot to eat and have a few expertly-prepared drinks, August Henry's is definitely the place.  We've been coming here for a few years now, after stumbling in randomly one night back in 2009.\n\nFirst of all, they have some of the best bartenders in the city.  The drinks are always top-notch (if you're a bleu cheese fan, try their bloody mary with bleu cheese stuffed olives!), and sitting at the bar provides some good conversation and commentary.\n\nIt's a great spot to watch sports games (we had the pleasure of watching the 'Guins beat the Flyers in overtime here back in the 2009 playoffs), and you can always catch some interesting people wandering past the big front windows.\n\nTheir food is a bit on the heavy side, but as long as you plan for that in advance, it's delicious.  I recommend the chicken and artichoke spinach dip.  It's a new take on a bar-food classic, and ever so creamy.  We also like the sampler platter, since it lets you try all sorts of bar goodies.  And the zucchini strips are awesome, but, well, gigantic.\n\nOn our last visit, I got the grilled chicken salad, which was perfect in that Pittsburgh way, with crispy fries and lots of cheddar.  The burgers are also consistently good, and we seem to really have great luck with fun and friendly servers.\n\nSo, stop in here for a cocktail before the Buccos game, or catch some hockey on their bar TVs.  Either way, you'll have a great time.
