The Association - Canonsburg

The Bar Association is a true winner! The woman I was with couldn't have been happier during our visit! The drinks were excellent, the food was delicious, and Ashley was a fantastic bartender. Yes, the food takes a little while to arrive, but it’s definitely worth the wait—plus, it just gives you more time to enjoy your drinks! I'm definitely adding this spot to my growing list of favorite restaurants. I ordered the handmade burger with bacon and blue cheese, along with an old-fashioned cocktail and a Flying Dog Fazy IPA. The woman enjoyed the meatloaf and a Kinky Squirrel Martini.

The food was fantastic! Although it took a bit of time to arrive, great things are worth the wait, and wow, it was worth it! We began with the best poutine we've ever tasted. The crab bisque reminded me of those I had in Connecticut, and it was absolutely delicious. For my main course, I ordered the chicken po'boy with white cheddar, and I still can’t get over how great that was. The chicken was super crispy, with just the right amount of spices—not too overwhelming—and the lovely acidity of the pickles combined with the fresh bite of arugula was pure perfection. I would absolutely order it again. I'm in love!

Honestly, the best bar in the area! Amazing staff and extraordinary cocktails! Lauren and Jenelle were so friendly and so informative and helpful! If you have not been here, you must try it without a doubt! You will not be disappointed!

The meatloaf was exceptional—hot, juicy, and topped with candied bacon, it was a delightful surprise. Even the potatoes were fantastic. Everything was served in a beautifully engraved large bowl, and paired with a glass of silver mark red wine, it made for a hearty, delicious, and delightful gourmet experience. Give them a try; you won't be disappointed! (And I make a mean meatloaf myself!)

Pricey everything is about $2-3 more than what it should be), but a pretty good hole-in-the-wall The name is misleading considering their lack of knowledge about IBA cocktails they should be called The Martini Association given their focus). On St Patrick 's Day I stopped by for an Irish Coffee as a light pick-me-up, but what I got instead was a mug of coffee mixed with a shot of Jameson and Bailey 's on the side. Disappointing, but par for the course for Greater Pittsburgh suburban bars. Today I tried the meatloaf $14) and a pot of gold martini $9) since they were still doing St Patrick 's Day deals . The meatloaf was good but reminded me of salisbury steak on top of mashed potatoes with two candied bacon strips on top rather than meatloaf expected a tomato based sauce rather than gravy). The martini was more of a sugary drink served in a martini glass than an actual martini. Atmosphere-wise they have some nice garage door-styled windows for air control, and plenty of flat screens featuring sports coverage. There is a small room dedicated to sit-down dining, a bar, and a neat backroom with a shuffle board alongside typical bar games. On average the crowd seemed to be Gen-X aged with some older millenials.
