The first time I went here I thought the beers weren't great, but the second time was a lot better. Excellent location, in any case; good place to chat with friends. The music is a tad loud, that said, but I guess it makes conversations more private for some who want to talk loud? Who knows.

Very cold beer. IPA is wonderful. Nice selection of bottled seltzers and spiked tea for non-beer drinkers. Lots of sitting area reminiscent of an old schoolhouse cafeteria. Family board games available to use. Food trucks rotate on daily basis. Good local hang out place. Will come back to try other beer offerings! Service is via QR code and ordering is at the counter. Restrooms are nice and clean.

Amazing beer with multiple choices like the DorMonster, cool Pittsburgh sodas, yinz, Just 3app chips to eat though. They have food trucks often. I'm pretty sure the only waiter is the owner who is super nice. Cool design, go-to Sunday boy night.

Amazing local beer in a really great setting. It's a wonderful place to just sit and hang out with friends or play a board game. There is usually a food truck outside.

Very good beer and good service. They had about 8 of their own beers, some guest cider and canned cocktails. There was a BBQ food truck when I was there on a Wednesday.

The building is very cool. Bathrooms are clean. The bartender/owner was very friendly. The beer was delicious!!

A cool local brewery. It's located in an old bank, and still seems like it inside and outside. The inside is pretty plain with a small bar with a few high top tables on the outside of the room. Not a very lively or super relaxing atmosphere, but it does the job if you're just looking for a quick drink. The beer menu is on the smaller side containing 11 options, with in-house brewed drafts. I ordered the cherry wheat ale and enjoyed it. It was a little more on the bitter side, rather than sweet, but still good. They were supposed to have a food truck on-site, however it didn't arrive and the bartender wasn't sure if it would be coming despite it on the schedule. Overall, it's a simple average bar with solid beer.

this brewery is such a great open space, I really enjoy the beer and service! There are food trucks every week! Highly recommend stopping in for a beverage or two!

Loved this place! Absolutely delicious white stout, full of flavor - I might be an addict if I lived here ;-) And service was fantastic as well. He even gave us an awesome recommendation to Badamo's down the way and he wasn't wrong! Pizza was delish! Thanks for steering us out-of-towners in the right direction!

We just moved to the neighborhood and this is a great brewery to have a few blocks away. The staff are all super friendly, the beers are all solid, and the food trucks never disappoint. Looking forward to becoming regulars.

I only wish the floor was the ceiling and the ceiling the floor…

Good beer and cider. Not great for food. Clean. Noisy acoustics.This location stayed open late so that my choir could all come in and mingle after our last practice of the summer. It was a great time. The only bad thing in my mind is that noise CARRIED. It was quite noisy and hard to hear.The beer selection was good. They had 10 on the menu from stouts to ciders to ales to non-alcoholic sodas. The blonde coffee stout was particularly fantastic in my opinion. I believe their ciders were all from arsenal, which is a great local cidery.The place was clean, well kept, and had bathrooms which were also clean. I got the feeling the place was pretty new, due to their willingness to stay open late and clean/untarnished/unbroken accommodations. If you're looking for a place with beer (though food options are non-existent) then this is a good option.

Very loud. They need some sort of sound canceling. Maybe a carpet or something. During trivia you cannot hear. Otherwise it's great!

Decent place with good beer. The inside will hopefully gain some character as they stay open longer
