I usually judge bars this way: If I can get a real black and tan (Harps and Guinness, of course) it's a good bar. If it costs less than 5, it's a great bar. Happy hour is from 4 - 6 and every pint I got was $4.09 (this may vary depending on the beer of course). \nThey have a great selection of beers on tap (for those who also think it's important: Magic Hat #9, Blue Moon, Newcastle, and Penn Pilsner Oktoberfest to name a few), and a surprisingly large menu. I had the prosciutto, tomato, and mozzarella salad - it was pretty decent, especially for a little Pittsburgh sports bar. They have a couple nice flat screen TVs for games (that I'm sure you can see from the loft-like second floor seating area), a plus for sports fans. And for non-sports fans it's fairly quite mid-day, you can enjoy their nice selection of music AND talk to your friends.\nSilky's is great for a pint or a dinner before you catch a movie at the cinematic manor next door.
