Doubleday's Famous Burgers

Turtle down

Doubleday's is a no nonsense establishment. When you step up to the bar you are expected to order. Out of fear for my life, I ordered the first chicken sammy I saw. The fiery sweet crispy chicken sandwich. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't famous. I think there were just too many flavors at play between the jalapenos, the cheese and the sweet chili sauce. I also tried a burger, it was not famous either. I can't really say that I had very strong feelings about the food at Doubleday's, other than I loved the tots. There's something about a perfectly crisp tot that just makes me want to chub out.

This is one of the few great neighborhood style bars that exist in downtown Pittsburgh. If I wanted a really good burger I'd head to Winghart's or Meat and Potatoes. But if I wanted some really good company, remarkably cheap beer, snarky bartenders and some perfectly crisp and reasonably priced tots - I'd be at Doubleday's in a heartbeat.

What is your favorite neighborhood style bar downtown? I love Bar 110, but Doubleday's provides a similarly wonderful atmosphere.
