ATRIAS "Atrias Restaurant" SERVICE LEARNING
- We believe the only way to make history is to focus on the future. Atria’s Restaurant & Tavern is not your average place to eat – it is a gathering place to share good times and enjoy great food.
- We are planning on moving into more neighborhoods so that we can provide the same quality food and outstanding service that has made us famous.
- Joe Atria came to America with a dream to run his own business and provide for his family. The dream began to take shape when he bought a piece of property in Mt. Lebanon , Pennsylvania , and started his own grocery store on the site of the flagship Atria’s. In the 1930’s, Joe expanded the business to include a barber shop and dry cleaning store, becoming an integral part of the Mt. Lebanon community.
- In 1933, with the end of prohibition, Joe saw a golden opportunity and transformed the neighborhood store into a beer garden that sold six packs to go. When a liquor license became available, the store changed once again, only this time into a full-scale neighborhood bar serving food.
- Since the late 1930’s, Atria’s has been the local watering hole for people from all walks of life. It became a place to unwind after a hard day's work. No matter if you were a doctor, an executive or a steelworker, you were at home and among friends when you walked through the door.
