One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh, James street has excellent food, a good beer selection with lots of rotating taps, and the best live jazz scene in western Pennsylvania.  There is a burger with a bun made of donuts on the menu.  Order it, then go home and cross that item off of your bucket list.  The bar features one of the best selections of craft beer bombers in the city, though they can be a tad on the pricey side.  Wednesday nights features a great trivia night, no one can top geeks who drink for quality questions/categories.  Every weekend features live, free jazz in the basement.  It's a place that will even impress your snobby friends from new York city!
