#4770 - Michael's Pizza Bar, Pittsburgh, PA - 9/8/2022

Michael's Pizza Bar, Pittsburgh, PA

Yesterday I tried out Michael's Pizza Bar, on Pittsburgh's South Side. Michael's was established in the early 80s by Michael and Dee Glowacki, but since 2020 has been run by Kevin and Mary Cox, who run a fine cocktail bar and restaurant in town called Bar Marco.

The pizza was good, but I must confess that what drew me there on this day was their very interesting back bar. I could not find any details on the background of the bar so far. It is similar to some Brunswick models (e.g. the Empire model), but I doubt it is a Brunswick, as it has a number of features I've never seen before, such as the circular appliques and what look like amateur hand-carved designs on the capitals. The most striking feature is the tigerwood from which it is composed.

I'd love to track down someone who could tell me more!
