THE TAP ROOM 555 GRANT STREET, PITTSBURGH The “Tap Room” opened in 1934 as “The Continental,” one of the two “repealatoriums” that opened in the William Penn after the repeal of prohibition. There are historical questions as to when the room closed, but this much is known: The room first began to take its present day shape when it was opened as “The Harp and Crown” in 1958. The name was taken from the original “Sign of The Harp and Crown,” a popular Pittsburgh tavern in the late 1700’s. In the 1970’s the “Harp and Crown” became “The Colonial Tap Room.” After a hiatus in the 1980’s, the “Tap Room,” as it is known today, opened in 1992. – Thank you for sharing in and adding to the history… STARTERS Crispy Wings Cuban Quesadilla Choice of: Hot / Mild / Garlic-Parmesan Pulled Pork / Black Forest Ham / Swiss Whiskey BBQ or Housemade Dry Rub Pickle / Scallion / Tequila Mustard 14 13 Spinach Artichoke Dip Potato & Cheddar Pierogies Grilled Bread / Crackers Onion Marmalade / Roasted Peppers 10 Sour Cream 11 Chicken Nachos Chipotle Chicken / Cheese Sauce Mini Calzones Black Bean / Pico de Gallo Pepperoni / Mozzarella / Marinara Guacamole / Sour Cream 12 12 Housemade Chips Smoked Tomato Hummus Cajun Spiced Potato Chips Garden Vegetables / Grilled Naan Miller’s Mustard 9 9 SOUPS AND SALADS Gumbo Red Bean & Beef Chili Shrimp & Andouille Sausage Housemade Corn Muffin 8 8 Salmon Aveline Salad Steak & Mushroom Salad Celery Seed Crusted Atlantic Salmon Hanger Steak / Wild Mushrooms Field Greens / Gorgonzola / Pine Nuts Spinach / Roasted Beets / Pistachios Cucumber / Brown Sugar Vinaigrette Manchego / Bacon Vinaigrette 17 18 Chicken Caesar Salad Sesame Chicken Salad Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Roasted Sesame-Ginger Chicken / Kale Romaine / Rustic Croutons Cabbage / Cilantro / Edamame Parmesan / White Anchovies Radish / Crispy Chow Mein Housemade Caesar Mushroom Soy 16 16 BURGERS Served with your preference of: French Fries / Housemade Chips / Cole Slaw / Roasted Corn-Pepita Salad Smokehouse Angus Burger Char-Grilled Angus Burger Beemster Gouda / Crispy Bacon Lettuce / Tomato / Pickle Fried Leeks / BBQ Mayo Toasted Challah Bun Toasted Challah Bun 14 15 Prime Grind Ribeye Burger Smoked Gouda / Onion Marmalade Chickpea-Pistachio Burger Neuske’s Bacon / Green Peppercorn Monterey Jack / Miller’s Mustard Aioli / Whole Grain Mustard Toasted Challah Bun Toasted Challah Bun 13 18 An 18% Service Charge will be added for Parties of 8 or more HANDHELDS Served with your preference of: French Fries / Housemade Chips / Cole Slaw / Roasted Corn-Pepita Salad Grilled Cheese Panini Brie / Cheddar / Apple Chutney 14 Grilled Chicken Sandwich Pancetta / Fontina / Arugula / Basil Mayo / Olive Bread 14 Pittsburgh Club Hickory Smoked Turkey / Isaly’s Chipped Chopped Ham / Swiss BBQ Mayo / Applewood Bacon / Baguette 14 Tuna Melt Albacore Tuna Salad / Cheddar / Smoked Tomato / Pretzel Roll 14 Reuben Local Corned Beef / Sauerkraut / Swiss / 1000 Island Dressing / Deli Rye 13 Crab Po’Boy Jumbo Lump Crab / Old Bay Aioli / Baguette 17 Grilled Salmon BLT Atlantic Salmon / Applewood Smoked Bacon / Lettuce / Tomato / Basil Mayo / Toasted Ciabatta 16 ENTRÉES Steak Frites Grilled Hanger Steak / Truffle-Parmesan Frites / Whiskey BBQ 20 Sausage & Pierogies Grilled Local Kielbasa / Potato & Cheddar Pierogies / Roasted Peppers Onion Marmalade / Mustard / Baguette 17 Roasted Amish Chicken Crispy Brussels Sprouts / Pancetta / Smashed Potato / Shallot Cream 18 Shaved Prime Rib Tacos Sour Cream / Shredded Cabbage / Pico de Gallo / French Fries / Flour Tortillas 16 Fish & Chips Beer Battered Cod / Tartar Sauce / French Fries 17 DESSERTS Prantl’s Burnt Almond Torte Sorbet Trio Almond / Butter Cream / Cherry Reduction Sour Cherry / Cinnamon-Apple / Coconut 9 8 Nutella Pot de Creme Caramel-Apple Cheesecake Candied Hazelnut / Chocolate Nibs Apple Compote / Dulce de Leche 8 9 Grilled Peach Cobbler Bourbon Milkshake Cinnamon Ice Cream / Maple Glaze Cinnamon Infused Bourbon Brown Butter Fresh Cream 9 10 *Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

STIRRED AND SHAKEN When to stir and when to shake?

Shaking mixes and chills the ingredients and is best for cocktails made with juices or syrups.
