The space is great, but the beers on tap when I was there weren't really my jam. I went with the Hefeweizen, which was more like hazy citrus IPA. The server was nice and they had one of my favorite snack mixes up for grabs, so the experience was positive, on the whole. I appreciated their welcoming vibe.

Great beer, nice folks working here. I like to support local and it's nice to see another small Pittsburgh Brewery grow and make great products. Interesting venue Shared with another brewery. In the summer they have a nice outdoor space. Also starting to can and sell at distributors.

Nestled in the heart of Hazlewood, a new brewery has emerged that offers an unparalleled experience for beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. This brewery, situated within a vibrant brew reimagined building, stands out not only for its exceptional craft beers but also for its distinctive environment. The concept is innovative: multiple breweries coexisting under one roof, sharing an expansive outdoor location and a stunning rooftop bar. This collaborative space fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among brewers and visitors, creating a dynamic atmosphere where creativity and passion for brewing thrive. Upon entering, you're greeted by a lively courtyard where patrons can sample a diverse array of beers from the different breweries. Each brewery brings its own unique flavors and styles, ensuring there's something to please every palate. Whether you're in the mood for a hoppy IPA, a smooth stout, or a crisp lager, you'll find it here. The true highlight, however, is the rooftop bar. Offering panoramic views of the Pittsburgh skyline, this is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a pint as the sun sets over the city. The ambiance is unmatched, blending the urban charm of Pittsburgh with the laid-back vibe of a local brewery. It's an ideal location for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend a new brew or share insights into the brewing process. Their passion for beer is evident and adds to the overall experience. Today we sampled a half pour of the Taniwha which is a New Zealand XPA Extra Pale Ale at 6% ABV was splendid, Scarecrows Son farmhouse saison which had a unique good taste at 5% and lastly Removed from Reqlity a New England IPA and that was super good at 7.4% ABV In conclusion, this new brewery will quickly become a standout destination in Pittsburgh's bustling beer scene. With its unique setting, diverse beer offerings, and breathtaking views, it's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of what the city has to offer. Cheers to many more pints and good times ahead!

One of the three breweries that is located inside Hazelwood Brewhouse.  Abstract Realm is run by a local known brewer who strives to make his brewery a place where people of all walks of life can share a beer, a store and continue to build on the diversity of Pittsburgh.  They are open Wednesday's- Sunday's.  Offering a non-alcoholic beer as well as about eight different beers and hard seltzers!  Loved the seltzers- had the Give 'Em What They Want- Sangria Seltzer and is totally hit the spot.  Very good flavors and very refreshing.  Another favorite was the easy-drinking American Ligh Lager- Mulligan which was a crispy, malty character of a Germin Pils.  They are open on the first floor as well as the third floor- genuinely love this space and the ability to move throughout!

Abstract Realm was the first spot we tried at Hazelwood Brew House after hearing some beer enthusiast friends rave about it. I wish I would've got his name, but the guy working in the courtyard taproom was really friendly and gave us some cool insight into the brewery and their new space. The Paloma Seltzer was truly one of the best beverages I've had at any brewery to date. So refreshing after a long bike ride.

Very chic interior. "Industrial party" vibe

This spot is so cool! I love the lighting inside, the space is really beautiful. It's pretty big…read moreand is a great spot for bigger groups. They have a large beer selection and I love that they have a lot of non beer options too like Jackworth Ginger Beer. The staff is super nice, we had a last minute party here and they were able to accommodate our large group and were super nice to my MIL. You can bring food from nearby spots like Gino's and they also have a food truck outside that does great food. Definitely a great spot to hang!

No complaints about Blue Sparrow. The food was amazing and so accommodating. I have a nut, dairy…read moreand egg allergy & they let me look at the dairy free cheese ingredients to make sure it was all good! The pizza was amazing. My girl friends and I came after four years of me wanting to come here. I love Gravel Grinder and live close to an OTB so heard of Dancing Gnome from that. Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.

YES. Yes, yes, yes. This is the kind of place I want to be taken to when visiting another town…read more Friends who live outside Pittsburgh brought me and we spent several hours at this indoor-outdoor craft brewery. I tend towards lighter beers, and they had several great options for me (don't worry, there are plenty of darker beers and higher-alcohol-percentage brews; I just didn't order them). There are three or four bars, along with a stage and places for food trucks. The bars are all linked, so you can open a tab at one and it'll be available at the others as well. Super friendly service. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was well-staffed with very cool employees. The atmosphere is nice, too, and I appreciated the poster on one wall explaining the meaning of "Grist House". You can bring dogs too! Some very nice dogs were present on this particular Saturday. Next time I'm coming through this way, I will definitely be stopping by again. * Note: it's a brewery, of course, but they do offer some wines and their own cocktail concoctions.

We had no idea this was the place to come for Penn Game Day, but that explains why the place is…read morehopping! We will come back on a Sunday, we tasted the White Witow and the Vienna lager.

It's been ages since I was here and this was Jenni's first time. This is a uniquely Pittsburgh…read moreplace and I thought she'd enjoy it - and she did! For some reason, the host wanted to put us up against the wall which would have one of us staring at the wall and the other, staring across the nave so I asked to sit in one of the many empty seats so we could both take in the long views from the nave. Our server, Alissa, was very friendly. The potato cakes were tasty but certainly not worth $13. Our meals were delicious but I'm not sure either of us saw the braised chicken; if you see it, send me a message. It was there but again, our meals just seemed very expensive overall at $75 for Mac and cheese with chicken, two potato pancakes, and a prickley-pear lemonade (no refills). Nonetheless, we enjoyed our meals and are subtracting just one star because of the weird seating choice by the host and the overall cost.

We enjoy the theme of this Brewery. It is such a large space. They have several different beers and…read moreit's just a cool experience. How many places can you say where you're drinking beer inside the church. They do have a restaurant here and when we stop by on a Monday night, they were we're pretty steady. There is street parking around this location as well. I had the strawberry rhubarb summer ale. It was very light, but still had great room. An easy summer drinker. My husband had the pious monk dunkel and enjoyed it - come to find out - he had it before the last time we were here!

I loveeeee coming to Cinderlands! The food here is always so amazing and their drinks never miss…read more My preferred method of travel here is by bike but there is a garage nearby that's not bad or you can usually find street parking. Not pictured but you NEED to get a Cindy's Tea when you come here. They sell these in cans as well I always try and grab a pack if we don't bike here! Their crunch wrap is my favorite thing on their menu. If I'm not getting it as my meal I'm forcing it as a table shareable it is that good. Usually I just get their fries with it which is always yummy but this time I tried their mac and it was so delicious! The Chicken Caesar wrap was so good normally I think places never put enough dressing in them but this was perfectly dressed! We tried their Heirloom Tomato & Watermelon Salad and added chicken to it. Idk where I've been but watermelon on a salad?! AMAZING!!! I wouldn't take off or add anything else to this(except chicken clearly lol) it was so refreshing and light and perfect!

Place was surprisingly empty on the night we went. The woman bartender was insanely nice and sweet…read more(specially to my niece). The guy bartender was a good service employee, but maybe due to the woman's friendliness he seemed underwhelming (no offense to him, she was just that nice). Beer was pretty solid. Food was pretty solid too. We would easily come back to the place with all the space, games, and things available for any age.
