Sometimes, you just need a Battleship hoagie from Triangle Bar & Grill
Sometimes, you just need a really big sandwich. That’s the case on a Tuesday afternoon when I meet Pittsburgh City Paper photographer Mars Johnson after work at Swissvale’s Triangle Bar & Grill. Located at the end of Swissvale’s understated Monongahela Ave. business district, the bar occupies an unassuming, wedge-shaped building. Your first clue this isn’t an ordinary dive bar: the more prominent of the building’s two main signs is the one promising Battleship and Destroyer sandwiches, which this publication’s readers have voted one of the region’s best hoagies.

Pittsburgh Pet of the Week: Meet Yogi, a Well-Loved Pup at Animal Friends
Breed: Mixed Breed (Medium) He is a happy, well-loved pup here at Animal Friends, but unfortunately his life before coming here was difficult. This cute boy is about three years old and came to the shelter through our Humane Investigation Department as just a small puppy. Due to Yogi’s court case, he had no choice but to grow up in the shelter. Yogi has made so many friends, learned wonderful doggy manners, and has made great strides during his time here with us. Now it is finally time for this boy to get to know a true home! This 50lb boy is also a part of our Foster-To-Adopt program, which means for four weeks our trainers here at Animal Friends will work with you and Yogi on his behavior and training within his new home. Yogi is a high energy boy who loves to play, and do enrichment, but Yogi does need to live in a home that is adults-only. He also could potentially live with another dog pending a successful meet and greet.
Tedeschi Trucks Band Plays Star Lake; Hard Rock Hosts Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers (Sat., 8/16/24)
1) The Grammy Award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band plays The Pavilion at Star Lake this month on their Deuces Wild tour. Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks are both bandmates and a married couple. They formed the band in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2010 after both had already tasted career success. Trucks was a member of the Allman Brothers for a number of years, fronted his own band, and worked on projects with many musicians, including Eric Clapton. He’s known as one of the guitar greats and was ranked No. 16 on Rolling Stone‘s list of The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2011. Before becoming a headliner of her own, Susan Tedeschi opened for top acts like B.B. King, Bob Dylan, and even the Allman Brothers (that’s how they met in 1999). Known for her pleasant vocals, she is a respected guitarist in her own right. The Tedeschi Trucks Band has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and won one in 2012 for the album Revelator. Before flying the banner of Tedeschi Trucks Band, the two collaborated in their previous band, Soul Stew Revival. Their soulful, blues-rock 12-piece band is a big reason for their success. Their latest LP release is 2022’s I Am the Moon. Opening is Margo Price. 7 p.m. 665 Rt. 18 Burgettstown. (R.H.)
