Fun little distillery with a lot of whiskeys, moonshines, and wacky flavours. It's worth a tour and…read moretasting even if it's outside of downtown, and you'll likely find a flavour you hadn't had before (like the pickle moonshine...), although some definitely has an amount of sugar that might make a hangover more likely in your future ;) Personally, I always go for the baby barrel whiskey, because of the depth of the taste despite it being quite young. During the tour they showed us how they used to make the barrels by hand, which is quite insane!

That was a pretty smooth espresso martini for $14 (Photo 10). Actually the official name of the…read morecocktail is Do You Make Espresso Martinis? because people wouldn't expect a whiskey distillery to offer one. However, Wigle does because they produce a wide array of spirits beyond whiskey like the vodka and coffee liqueur in this mix. I depended on YouTube travel vloggers to point me in the direction of this popular distillery bar and cafe in the Strip District. The place was bustling in the middle of the afternoon, and I was lucky to secure the last stool at the bar. The espresso martini drew my eye, and I thought I should have a snack to go with it. I ordered the $12 Devil's Eggvocate. Four deviled egg halves were topped with smoked paprika, pickled jalapeño slices, and bacon jam made with their own coffee liqueur (Photo 9). It was a bit top heavy for me, but then I never reject a deviled egg. If I wasn't driving, I might've considered trying a whiskey tasting, but it just wasn't in the cards. COCKTAIL / FOOD - 4 stars...smooth martini, over-the-top deviled eggs AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but the bar was fine SERVICE - 3.5 stars...seemed understaffed TOTAL - 4 stars...worth having a taste and not just whiskey RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

I read about Heist on Facebook about a month ago and have been dying to go! My friends and I went…read moreyesterday and loved it. It's in an old bank so the space is really cool. There are windows in the tasting room where you can see into the actual distillery - including the bank's original safe which is really neat! Each month they have a rotational cocktail menu made from their house-made spirits- gin and whiskey. As a gin girl, I was very excited they had gin over vodka. My friends and I each got two drinks each and we loved them all. This month's cocktail docket includes an orange whiskey sour, blueberry honey sour (made with local Bedillion's honey!), strawberry fields, gatsby's light, shady lady, and the secret garden. My first cocktail was the secret garden- a gin cocktail with elderflower and I forget what else but it was AMAZING! So fresh. Gatsby's light was their take on a moscow mule but with whiskey. The shady lady had lavender and was very light. The blueberry honey sour was my second favorite. They also offer charcuterie boards, but they are just the prepackaged ones from Aldi. Cocktails were excellent and well-priced, I think all of them were $9 each. Staff was great! They even have a their dog roaming around :) Heist is a hidden gem!

Pennsylvania Libations is located in the Strip District and I've always found it to be a good place…read moreto pickup a gift for someone, grab a beer, or buy supplies for a party or dinner party. They carry a lot of spirits, ciders, pre-made cocktails, beers, and more. They also sell pickles from the Pittsburgh Pickle Co. and seasonings from Steel City Salt Co. They host tasting and other events as well. It's a must-add stop for weekly Strip District shopping.

You can also have unlimited samples of the various rum that they have for sale. I love that they have local craft beer on tap. This time I noticed Old Thunder, Eleventh Hour, Monday's brewing, Hitchhiker and Cinderlands. They offered some excellent mocktails including a Sweet Tart Swizzle with Lime juice, pomegranate juice, grapefruit juice, Zombie juice blend, cinnamon syrup, chocolate and rhubarb bitters. There is plenty of seating. We went on a Friday and it wasn't overly crowded. I also love that there is always parking in the lot.

Checked out Maggie's Rum Farm in the South Hills and had a mixed experience. The drinks were…read moreamazing--as always--and exactly what I've come to expect from their Strip District location. The food was decent, but honestly, I was hoping for a bit more. The biggest letdown, though, was the service. Our server was super sweet, so it wasn't her fault at all--it just felt like they were either understaffed or the staff wasn't allocated efficiently. There were two bartenders and three other staff members who seemed to be handling seating and samples, along with a runner for food and drinks. Unfortunately, we waited over 25 minutes for a drink, and others who arrived after us were served first. It definitely put a damper on the visit. If I go back, I'll probably stick to just drinks and maybe a couple of apps--but honestly, I think I'll continue going to the original Strip District spot where the energy, service, and overall experience feel more dialed in. I really don't love leaving subpar reviews, but felt it was worth sharing in case others have a similar experience.

She laughed and joked back. The whole bar was talking to each other because she was so nice. Super friendly vibe. The food was okay the drinks were great but the service was TOP TIER. Shout out Hannah. She deserves a raise. Literally so good this is my first review ever lol

My bartender was wonderful, making my whole experience feel like a neighborhood pub. However, I didn't get a chance to try their whiskey, so it is hard to go five stars without that experience .

This was our first visit as this distillery has recently opened. First of all, it's a little bit of…read morea walk to the distillery from the main lots. However you have the option to have cart ride down. They have lights hanging and it's in the middle of the woods. It's very awesome and such a great idea. This is the second time that I've seen a place setup like this, the other time was in the Finger Lakes. It's a definitely different experience. I tried the bourbon, rye, spiced whiskey, slivovitz and blackberry rum. All of the whiskey was good. The slivovitz is a product that I do not see any local distillers ever making. It was nice to see this here. I was introduced to this 20+ years ago while tailgating for Steelers home games. I have to say what they had tasted much better. I ended up leaving with the Spiced Rum, it was good and different than the others. I had a mixed drink as well as my wife and we both enjoyed the drink and the location. They have a stream nearby. The seating is awesome, you can sit outside near the distillery, inside the woods, along the creekside. It's a very cool place and can't wait to go back again. This place just opened and see it getting busier and more popular over time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting this place.

The only way is if they're at an event and you can sample then. I took a shot and purchased 2 of 4 products. The spiced and coconut are very good. Spiced tastes a lot like someone else's I've tried.

I know I tried it before but do not remember it being that good.
