Saturday Soul Sessions returns with our good friend Mike Canton (a/k/a “Soul Show Mike”) from Pittsburgh’s famed “The Soul Show” (weekly, every Saturday on WZUM Pittsburgh). We’re honored every time Mike drops in to play some deep cuts from his infinite database of funk, soul, and groove tracks.

Paul Cosentino has been a full-time musician and bandleader for over 30 years, specializing in classic jazz and popular music from the 1920s to the 1940s. Paul plays an antique Albert System clarinet, which gives him a wonderfully distinctive sound not often heard on today’s bandstands. In addition to providing vocals, Paul also splits time on the alto and tenor saxophones. Paul has an extensive repertoire of tunes encompassing the Great American Songbook- written by some of the best-known composers of American popular song. He is also well versed in early New Orleans jazz, the Swing Era, big band riffs, and everything in between. Paul is known globally for his enthusiastic, energetic, and powerful performances.

Paul Cosentino founded the Boilermaker Jazz Band in 1988. Paul has also been featured as a soloist with many of the top bands in the swing world today, including a special appearance with the Jonathan Stout All-Star Big Band during an Artie Shaw tribute set. Paul has also been featured with Glen Crytzer’s Rhythm Makers, Michael Gambles Rhythm Serenaders, the Gordon Webster Band, Naomi and Her Handsome Devils, the Russ Wilson Swingtet, Clint Baker’s Golden Gate Swing Band, and many more. He has also led a number of All-Star groups.

Oh, and you better believe we’ll also have our homemade pierogies to go on the side.

Join jazz drummer David Throckmorton for a swinging weekend set.

We might be a German and Czech style lager brewery, but we still celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend with the rest of the city.

Join us along with special guest Rick Patrick for some shepherds pie, so Irish jigs, and live Irish music (from 7-10 p.m.) and come see for yourself if we dye any of our beer green.

This Saturday, we will release our first Czech black lager, Černé 13°, which will add a third Czech-style lager to our draft list. Head Brewer Aaron Dahl loves to make these beers, and our bar team can’t get enough of pouring them off our LUKR taps and serving these beautiful heady beers to you.

To celebrate this trilogy of lagers, Černé (black), Polotmavé (“half dark”), and Světlé (pale), we are throwing a Czech Pivo party this Saturday, featuring Czech food specials and Czech pours of these beers. And because you simply can’t ever have enough well-brewed Czech lager, we’re honored to tap a keg of Dancing Gnome’s most excellent Tmavé as well. As always, no special entry, just show up and enjoy — Golden Age is always FREE TO THE PEOPLE.

DJ HollyHood plays a mix of soul & pop music from the 80s, 90s, 2000s and today, for a funky, danceable set of fun in the beer garden.

Laissez les bon temps rouler avec nous on the REAL Fat Tuesday, Tuesday, February 13. We love New Orleans, and Mardi Gras, perhaps the most widely known celebration of its culture ought to be a national holiday. Well, we’re going to make it one in the Steel Valley anyway.

New Orleans is so much more than bourbon street. Its culture is inextricably wound with its music, its food, its cocktails, its beer, and, ultimately, its people and the buoyant celebration of life, death, and our tour around this sun and universe.

We’re blowing this one out. Let’s start with the tunes. We’ll have two horn bands playing NOLA music, the John Gresh Gris Gris from 3-6, followed by Paul Cosentino and the Boilermaker Jazz Band from 6-9. Our lovely MC for the evening will be the inimitable Phat Man Dee.

We’ll also have NOLA cocktails — think Sazeracs and Hurricanes — to buttress our draft list, including our Czech Amber Lager, a nice substitute for the New Orleans favorite Abita Amber.

We’ll also have NOLA food galore, with Gumbo, Po’Boys, and a Crawfish boil among other things!

So leave work early and let’s do this right to pay our favorite city the homage it deserves.

Prost!
