seasoned curlers but all three are excited about introducing fun, new activities to their city. “Sliders is the first and only venue for competitive bar-style curling in Pittsburgh,” says Deasy. “There are plenty of places where you can hang out with friends and drink some beer, but only one where you can glide big hunks of granite across an ice rink at the same time.” Currently Sliders only has one location—right outside the LumberjAxes building in Millvale, located at 2 Sedgwick Street. Sliders’ curling rink is outside,with a tent for weather protection, but the beauty of being right next to LumberjAxes is that guests can come in and warm up at the bar—currently BYOB, with full bar service coming soon. “We love seeing people try something new and really get into it,” says Deasy. “Especially in the winter, it’s great to see friends and families outside having fun together.” For more information, visit slidersbarandgames.com, email [email protected] or call 412.408.2650. Guests can book a session on the website (or call for groups of 16+ people). Sessions are typically 55 minutes, including 10 minutes with a coach learning safety and technique, 30 minutes of preliminary matches and a tournament. n FOX CHAPEL AREA ❘ SPRING 2020 39
