The Arlington Beverage Club has been in the works for a few years. According to a January 2020 article from the Pittsburgh Current, Kevin Sousa plans to bring elevated bar food to this space that once housed a neighborhood social club.
From Sousa’s Instagram post:
“a wonderful time capsule of an OG Pittsburgh bar (formerly a private social club) – with wood paneling, vinyl bar stools and that oddly comforting grandma’s house smell completely intact.”
