Believe it or not, this sleepy little corner Pittsburgh, PA, is home to a world-renowned beer mecca that the Petit Fute Belgian Beer Guide called the "Best Belgian Beer Bar in the USA." And it doesn't stop there: in addition to a huge (we're talking almost two dozen) selection of Belgian beers--and that's just on tap! The Sharp Edge offers a considerable selection of German beers, British beers, and American microbrews on tap, as well as scores of bottled brews from around the world. I mean, the beer list is thicker than the menu--it's like they brought in a whole specialty distributor just for their guests. And the beer, as wonderful as it is, is not the Creekhouse's only draw. The food itself is very good, standard new-American pub fare, with a few continental or seasonal twists thrown in (in the fall, for example, they whip up a great Oktoberfest menu). And the building itself is wonderful--a huge old Victorian house converted to a multi-level pub and restaurant overlooking Chartiers Creek. Bonus: the Creekhouse is a short drive away from the airport. More info, plus directions to the Creekhouse and to Sharp Edge's slightly-less-cozy downtown location, can be found at www.sharpedgebeer.com. Verdict? The Creekhouse may very well be this reviewer's favorite restaurant in town.
