Top 10 Films of 2014

After Dark counts down the best of the year in cinema — and lets you know how you can see our picks.

2014 Holiday Movie Preview

We clear up which new movies are coming to Pittsburgh and when . . . at least as far as we can figure it all out ourselves.

Bar Exam: Steel Cactus

Who's up for a Yinzerita? These Shadyside and Carson Street Mexican joints are welcoming and appetizing.

Bar Exam: Dive Bar and Grille

What’s in a name? Even if the moniker chosen by Lawrenceville’s Dive Bar & Grille is a head-scratcher, there’s a sandwich on the menu that more than makes up for it.

Bar Exam: Gus’s Cafe

Like roomy outdoor booths, acceptable (and reasonably priced) brews and some mean, polished bar grub? Then this spot’s for you.

Bar Exam: Mineo’s

Does the pizza heavyweight’s new bar give it an edge in the (friendly) pie war?

Bar Exam: Casa Reyna

It’s OK to drink tequila in a basement. So long as you’ve got a boatload of tacos and some nontraditional Mexican fare.

Bar Exam: The Urban Tap

Can this East Carson Street joint live up to its self-proclaimed status as “Saahside’s Finest”?

Bar Exam: Hemingway’s

Not everything has to be $10 cocktails and cheese plates. A return to collegiate shenanigans in Oakland.
