(Pittsburgh, PA) A bar in the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh was ordered closed this week after a health inspection revealed an imminent health hazard. Allegheny County Health Department inspectors shut down Eggheads Saloon on Brookline Boulevard on Tuesday. According to the inspection report, an “active sewage backup” was found in the basement of the bar, which is considered an imminent hazard, and staff members had to pass through the impacted areas to access the soda rack. Eggheads Saloon can reopen when the inspection report states that all sewer function must be restored, the entire basement must be sanitized and the bar must commit to installing a grease interceptor within six months. Inspectors also confirm that there was “evidence of chronic, unattended backups present,” like dried toilet paper pulp, water damage and calcium buildup at the bar. Other lower-level violations were also present during the inspection, like a kitchen sink that was “permanently blocked” by plywood, an ashtray with a used cigarette in the kitchen, no grease interceptor and possible mold growth in the basement of the bar.
