Why You Should Go: With all the holiday cheer, mistletoe and eggnog, some very important things are being overlooked. Namely, the Steelers, Pitt basketball, and the Penguins (fingers crossed for an end to the lockout). Take some time to pay attention to those heavy hitters by grabbing some grub, a good seat, and your Pittsburgh pride at Tilted Kilt in Northshore.

Why You'll Love It: Taking the game viewing experience up a notch, Tilted Kilt boasts tons of flat-screen TVs showing every game you could want, a chef serving up Pittsburgh's finest pub grub, and kilt-clad women serving you beers, cocktails, shooters and more. The more than 30 drafts and bottled beers may put a smile on your face; if not, the festive, fun atmosphere may do the trick.

What You Should Know: With a menu seemingly as endless as the Steelers' trophy case, you'll be able to choose from classic pub burgers, sandwiches and appetizers, or get a little more serious with entrees like Grilled Salmon, Roasted Garlic Chicken Flatbread Pizza, or Lasagna. And as an homage to it's Scottish and Irish heritage, they offer classic plates like Olde Dublin Irish Stew or Danny Boy's Shepherd's Pie.
