    Fantastic rooftop atmosphere. Drinks are ridiculous. Small selection and high prices. There is a small bites menu with a few items. A tiny cup of bar nuts is $9. Waiter and host are very nice and attentive. I don't get it. Why so pricy? I had a $13 draft cider. (Not a typo) The waiter asked me if I wanted change on a $20. This is Pittsburgh. What am I missing? Cool spot, poor offerings and prices. That is all.

    These items arrived looking nothing like this pic - Ritz Crackers and Wheat Thins from Giant Eagle

    This place is a dump! Upon arrival, the host told us it would be 30 minutes before any seating would open up and that there was no bar on the rooftop level for us to go down to The Commoner on level one. There were many empty tables, and before our drinks, even arrived at the bar downstairs in less than two minutes, he was calling our phone to come back up to sit at the same tables that were empty when we were just there five minutes ago. None of the pictures seen in the yelp reviews are reality. What arrived upon ordering was Wheat Thins and Ritz Crackers poured on to a plate with some hummus this place claimed to be worth $15. The pretzel seen in the attached pictures was $28. Any time a restaurant has to use stock photos like the one attached beware. You are being deceived. From overpriced drinks, to misleading food items, to empty tables sitting while a hostess claims booked reservations then, five minutes later, out of thin air, the tables are all free, the Biergarten had no problem taking my money and leaving our group hungry and frustrated. Service Staff underaged and nowhere close to justifying $28 pretzels - Good Lord. Don't waste your time or money. We left with $200 taken from us then stopped elsewhere to get something to eat and drink. If you see me walking into this place again, please don't hesitate to give me a flying burrito throat punch for being stupid.

    One of my favorite rooftop bars in the city for the view and the drinks! We had almost each cocktail on the menu and they were all delicious and refreshing. The BG pretzel is incredible and the hummus was super garlicky and delicious.

    A cute rooftop bar with views of downtown! This place is perfect for a summertime cocktail or hangout with friends. The cocktail menu is unique with options for everyone and there were quite a few local beers to choose from.

    Good spot for a quick stop for drinks and food in downtown. Had a passion fruit margarita that was really chilled down, giving me the needed cool down after spending the afternoon walking and getting to know the town. Spot with views as it's on the rooftop.

    Not sure if our experience here last summer remotely compared to what it's like usually but I must say, with the limited capacity due to Covid, it was really nice to get to enjoy this rooftop bar without the crowds. Cocktails were good and food was not bad either.

    Like the Kimpton hotel it sits atop, Biergarten is nothing short of spectacular! High end small plates and cocktails are the go to here. Wine selection wasn't as impressive but the focus is beer and cocktails. The string lights, greenery, and overall ambiance was perfect for a rooftop. Definitely make reservations because the rooftop is small. You'll find jenga and other fun games on the roof as well. Parking is at any nearby garages. A perfect ladies night spot!

    I went just last week (COVID procedures in place) and it was such a nice evening! Had to make a reservation, which was totally fine and understandable. When we arrived they had our table waiting and ready for us! The menu is smaller, but all the food was excellent and the drinks were beautiful and tasted amazing! It was rather refreshing to have a new-normal night out but feel safe at the same time!

    Love the atmosphere, wish it was a little bit bigger. The beer selection is generally good and unique. Been a few times though when it was a bit off which is kind of annoying. The food here is odd. However, despite the weird choices, they have a killer Bavarian pretzel. They are fresh made, huge and the beer cheese accompaniment is delish!

    Recommend this place. It's on the 9th floor of the hotel. It's opened to the public. They have decent drinks. You can order food as well. It's a nice atmosphere at that level.

    Sweet spot for rooftop drinks if you're lucky enough to get a reservation! The space was large and socially distanced. The cocktail menu had many interesting choices, especially the "Oh you put your pizza in the freezer too?" and the pierogies also made for a great bar snack. 5/5 service and great vibes if you're looking to check out a new view of downtown Pittsburgh!

    This $20 cocktail was good, but it was also $20
    Melissa P.

    The Biergarten is definitely a fun place to visit. The atmosphere and the views are great, but I wasn't that impressed by the food or drinks themselves. Everything was super expensive, and it really wasn't anything to write home about. We had lots of fun playing board games and sipping cocktails, but I feel like we could have done the same thing somewhere else for a third of the price. Not bad, but definitely not my top pick.

    LOVE the rooftop vibes at this fun bar downtown in the cultural district! Lively spot on the weekends, also hosts trivia some nights. Occasional private events rent out the venue, so make sure it's open before you go.

Our party of 3 took advantage of the Happy hour draft pitchers & had the Archive: Amber Lager - they define it as Classic American amber lager brewed with pilsner, Munich, and crystal malts and hopped gently with Chinook and Willamette. Crisp and a touch toasty. I describe it as awesome I only took one picture tonight of my Pizza!!! Wow!! Full of flavor & cooked perfectly. The Lamb Sausage & Peppers pizza featuring housemade lamb sausage, roasted red peppers, confit tomato, ricotta and burrata cheese, hot honey, and basil. It was amazing. We also shared some of the house made chips & onion dip & wings. Then the rest of our party had the smash burgers. A fun relaxing night!! Definitely will continue to go to Cinderlands warehouse.

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.
