The North Side is an unsuspecting treasure trove of activities & places you never knew existed. If you're seeking that so-called "local” culture, look no further. The North Side area is home to some of the richest historical and cultural components of the Burgh. With well-preserved buildings dating back to the 1700's, the Mexican War Streets, Heinz Field, PNC Park, Deutschtown and at least a day's worth of museum hopping between the Warhol, Mattress Factory and others, the North Side is the perfect sightseeing destination for newcomers and residents alike.

In a neighborhood originally settled by German immigrants you’d think there would be some great places for German food and libation. You’d be right, and one of the best is Max’s. The atmosphere is like walking into a gone-by era, a great old neighborhood tavern since 1903. But people come for the authentic German dishes and Bavarian beers. We can’t spell anything on the menu, but trust us, it’s all great. If you’re indecisive get the platter, and wash it down with a Köstritzer Schwarzbier … but don’t get your lederhosen in twist about proper glassware, it all comes in a mason jar.
