Rat Incident at Urban Tap: Quick Action Taken

0:00On March 6, here's the latest out of Birmingham, a video surfaced online showing a rat perched on the beer taps at Urban Tap, a popular spot in Pittsburgh, Southside. The restaurant posted a direct response on Instagram, emitting the issue and saying it's unacceptable. They reached out to the Allegheny County Health Department immediately and hired professional pest control. Staff then did a deep clean, sealed entry points and ramped up nightly checks. Many customers voice support online, saying they'll stick around despite the footage. Folks in the restaurant business chimed in too, noting Rodin's pop-up everywhere in the city, and praising the quick accountability. Health officials confirmed droppings in areas like behind the taps, basement, and stairs, but no major infestation. The place must address it all before a re-inspection on March 16. Nearby construction has boosted Rodin activity around the area, though the owner's stress that changes nothing. They're now monitoring closely to prevent repeats.
