A place where you could easily lose a day drinking good beer, and talking with good people. I ohly had the pleasure of meeting Joe once, but during that afternoon I learned what a great man he was. Thanks go out to Mike (you know who you are) who has a nack for finding the most awesome bars I have ever seen. Chiodo's Tavern is still #1. Joe, you will be missed.Simbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480543133510048175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-56057590133184592882007-09-07T02:00:00.000-04:002007-09-07T02:00:00.000-04:00I'm sad to hear of the passing of Joe Chiodo.

I have a small bar in my house and there is a picture on the wall of two of my Army buddies, my Dad, Joe, and I in Chiodo's one afternoon. Three generations sharing a conversation and thourouhly enjoying each other's company. I looked at that picture and drank an Iron in Joe's memory when I heard the news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-22221279542595210982007-08-29T19:21:00.000-04:002007-08-29T19:21:00.000-04:00It's a sad day.

I'm a Freemason, and we have a line in the funeral service about losing a link in the chain that binds us together, so let us work to strengthen the remaining links through friendship, compassion, and the like. One of the things I enjoy about your work is the sense that you're friends with this extended family of writers, brewers, distillers, bartenders, restauranteurs, and sales folks -- and you all help each other out, and yet, if the beer/whisky were to vanish, you'd probably all nevertheless remain close. I'll raise a glass to Joe Chiodo's memory tonight, and a second to you for letting us into this world.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634642987617262810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-86028338861097826502007-08-28T22:38:00.000-04:002007-08-28T22:38:00.000-04:00There was no other place that said Pittsburgh quit...There was no other place that said Pittsburgh quite like Chiodo's.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973502935329434602noreply@blogger.com
