I had read Munch's review of Local Bar + Kitchen in the Post-Gazette.  He seemed indifferent to it, didn't hate the food but had some issues with the whole lack of \"local\" which I totally understand.  So when a Groupon became available I figured I'd take a chance.\n\nI often wonder if places like this read critics reviews.  In the case of Local Bar + Kitchen, it seems they did read what Munch had to say and did make some adjustments.  He wondered where exactly the pierogies made in McKees Rocks were from; the menu now clearly states that they are from Pierogies Plus.  Another one of Munch's criticisms was the lack of local brews; I can now say that they offer selections from both East End and Penn Brewery.  \n\nI went ahead and ordered up the pierogies as my appetizer and Big Steve's Meatloaf sandwich as my entree.  The sandwich was very tasty.  I really liked the spicy Heinz glaze.  The pierogies were amazing, of course, but when you start with perfection and add butter, you can't really mess that up.  My service was okay, however it did seem to take awhile for someone to initially take my drink order and then when my pierogie appetizer came out my sandwich followed about 30 seconds later.  When all was said and done, though, my drink was not included in my final bill.  I wasn't sure if it was an oversight or my waitress being nice, but either way I left a nice tip.\n\nOne random note: the bathrooms were very clean.  At least the women's room, anyway.  \n\nLocal Bar + Kitchen is a place I might try again, but it's not the best place to just go for food.  And not all the food is actually \"local.\"  The bar was hopping, though, and it stayed busy.  My suggestion would simply be to omit the word \"kitchen\" from the name of the establishment.  If it was only called \"Local Bar\" people would see the name as describing the place, not their offerings - leading to less confusion and disappointment in diners.
