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…

STIRRED AND SHAKEN While the origin of the martini is unknown, it dates back to the late 19th century when many variations used gin and vermouth. Today’s martinis use premium vodkas, gins and vermouth. Our martinis are stirred and shaken to properly combine the ingredients while limiting dilution.

WITH OR WITHOUT SALT The Margarita, also the Spanish word for daisy, evolved from the classic cocktail by the same name. The Daisy, which combines brandy, orange liqueur, lemon juice and sugar, was served up as the “Sidecar” during Prohibition. Soon after it grew popular in Mexico, where tequila was substituted for brandy, lime juice for lemon, and the rim was salted instead of sugared.
