On Friday night, a few friends and I decided that we wanted to go out for the Penguins game, which the Pens won in a dramatic come-from-behind game, and wanted to try something new. Because a lot of my friends live in Oakland, we tend to watch games there, but Friday was just people living in Shadyside, so we looked to change it up.
First stop, Doc's Place on Walnut Street. We got there about 10 minutes into the first period and we left after the first intermission. Needless to say, it wasn't what we were looking for. A lot of the people there seemed very uptight and nobody, except for the four of us, was watching the Pens game. On top of that, there was no specials so after we split a $10.25 pitcher of Miller Lite, we were out of there. Checking their menu, you can see that they do have specials during happy hour. But what even then, it's not that great. We're still college kids and we're looking for deals.
After our brief stop at Doc's Place, we hopped down a block to Shady Grove. I think this was my third time here, but first time looking to have a drink or two. Five minutes in, we all agreed that we should've just gone here from the beginning. The place was a lot busier, which we wanted to watch the game, than Doc's Place and a lot of people were there for the game. We were able to even get a booth right in front of the TV for the final 2 periods. For Friday night, they had some good deals, too. We all got the $4 Jack Daniels mixed drinks and were happy with the amount and price - they were also pretty strong. We hung out there until the end of the game, before we left and made our separate ways.
Overall, we were all pleased with what Shady Grove had to offer and we'll be back there. Doc's Place? Maybe not.
