New bar! New bar!

After months of anticipation, Pegasus opened on June 20 to a SRO crowd, followed by the Miss Pittsburgh Pegasus on June 21… both got rave reviews… after being closed the following Tuesday for what was rumored to be a water main break, everything got back to normal on Wednesday… Now Pegasus is open on Sundays as well, offering a buffet at 6pm… best wishes to John and John and staff…
