After a Pittsburgh Penguins matinee game, we went here on the suggestion of the person in the seat next to me at the game.If I could give this zero stars. Out of the 4 meals my family had, there was only one that was decent and edible.The others were all either way too spicy or not cooked properly or had strange flavors in them that was not appealing. The waitress that served us must have had a bad day, she was short in her tone and did not explain the meals the selections we inquired about with any detail. The church itself was interesting, very old, they revamped it for their beer stills, I'm not a beer person so the beer I tried was not my thing. So after $174.00 , I considered this waisted money and time, I cannot suggest this as an eating location in Pittsburgh.

Recently visited Pittsburgh with a group of people and we were all excited to check out this place. We arrived and there was an hour and a half wait to be seated, no problem! We decided to have drinks at the bar while we waited. As soon as we approached the bar, the bartender was obviously very overwhelmed. Her name was Madison and she was the most rude employee I have ever met in my entire life! She immediately told us “You’re going to have to wait, I have like 6 people ahead of you!”. Again, it’s okay, we understand the place was busy, no big deal! Once she got to us, one person in the group asked if the Riesling was on the dryer side, and her response was “the descriptions are written right underneath, can’t you read?!”. Then she advised that they were all out and she walked away. She comes back and the same person tried to order another drink, a Cabernet. Madison, again, stated they were all out of that too and walked away again. On the third time Madison came back, a different and third drink was ordered, being a Mule. When the Mule was ordered, Madison slammed the menu down in front of us. A comment was made amongst ourselves of “doesn’t she work for tips, that’s not a good way to act” (rightfully so), but was overheard by Madison. Instead of apologizing, her response was “hunny, one bad tip isn’t going to break my night”. When the Mule finally arrived, it was placed in front of another man who was not with our group. This sparked a conversation with the couple next to us who were complete strangers to us and witnessed all of this. They also told us that before we even sat down, Madison was complaining to them about her job and other personal issues, which I won’t go into detail about…. Just WOW!!!! Horrible customer service!!!! With that being said, the check was asked for after our one round of drinks. Anyways, Madison should not have a job where she has to deal with people because she clearly cannot handle it! It’s also safe to say, even though the building was beautiful, because of Madison, we will never be back. She ruined the entire experience with her very poor communication skills and lack of customer service!

We brought an out of town friend here since it isn't a sports bar, chain or pizza shop. It has been years since my last visit. Food was good but nothing special. The atmosphere was also okay. The waiter was rude. My friend ordered spaghetti and asked if there was bread. He told her no, then acted as if it was a ridiculous question. None of his interactions with us were friendly. I won't be back.

This was my favorite spot when I was in college more than a decade ago. I was eager to visit again, but came to realize my taste and expectations have since changed dramatically since leaving the area. For the area it is pretty good, but if you are accustomed to eating out in larger cities you will more than likely be left wanting more.The atmosphere is great. It's such a neat venue. I had a young tall man as my server who was very attentive and polite. The red ale was pretty darn good. Food was solid, but I'd say overrated still considering the review here on Google.Will I return? Probably not.

Only had a couple beers but enjoyed them and the atmosphere in the old church. Amazing how they transformed a church into a brewery. Definitely a must see if you in the neighborhood. Felt bad for the bartender because she was the only one behind the bar and was overwhelmed. She was still very nice and friendly even though she was being pulled every which way. She needs a raise.
