Original Oyster House, Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's oldest restaurant and bar, this storied institution has been slinging out its patented mixture of fresh seafood and cold refreshing beer since 1870. Although the oysters no longer cost a penny and the beer no longer costs a dime, the low-cost fare and nostalgic interiors at Original Oyster House keeps locals coming back for a reliable bite during sunny days. Among the favorites here are the fried fish platters served with your choice of two sides, as well as the jumbo fish sandwich which uses the original breading recipe developed in 1916. A good selection of local and domestic brews are there to help wash down your meal and a selection of fried sides make for perfect pub grub if you're not in the mood for a full plate. Make sure to visit this Pittsburgh landmark today, if only to be part of the long legacy of this historic spot.
