There's Oakland service as late as about 1:15, depending on which bus
you're riding.  Oakland isn't really a major center of activity, at
least as far as late-night entertainment goes, compared to the South
Side or the Strip.

But, yes, public transportation kind of sucks here.  There's a lot of
debate over who's at fault for this; Port Authority, the city, or the
schools.  Or the geography.  But it's a shame you can't even hail a
damn cab.


> ps. Hey Rick, can you point out any beer meccas in that city of yours besides FatHead's and ChurchBrew???  I hear there's a microbrewpub in Lawrenceville....

FatHead's is a beer mecca?  I didn't know.  As far as selection goes,
a lot of beer snobs like The Sharp Edge, which specializes in Belgians
and also has good food; or the unpretentious D'z in Regent Square,
with its amazing "Beer Cave" (and they also serve a mean hot dog or
veggie dog).

You unfortunately won't find a lot of brewing going on in the city.
Besides Church Brew Works, there's East End Brewing Company... and of
course Iron City and Penn Brewery.
