It was recognized as the first Pittsburgh bar ever nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Bar Program. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The trendy restaurant closed in 2020, but has repeatedly opened its doors to operate pop-up bars. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Now, owners say the reopening marks the return of a concept that helped shape Pittsburgh\u2019s modern dining scene.
