Bulldog Pub, 1818 Morningside Ave, Pgh, PA 15206
On Friday, October 9th at 6:00 PM, in the sleepy little town of Morningside, PA, something from Pittsburgh’s past is stirring once again at the Bulldog Pub, 1818 Morningside Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
“Bobby” Feldman and “Muzzy” Meyers will emerge from the shadows once again, armed with stories, memories, and probably a few things better left forgotten — ready to remind everyone just how much trouble two restaurant owners could cause.
If you ever worked at The Balcony or Hotlicks, played music there, ate there, drank there, hung out there, closed the place down, or simply love a good time, you’re welcome to attend.
