I met a group for an early evening happy hour. We lucked out with blues skies on a warm summer day. We could see the downtown skyline from a distance while seated outside. I ordered cider from the bar and then went to the kitchen to order a burger and fries. The orders arrived relatively quick. I was told to time a few minutes and come back to the kitchen to pick up my food. Burgers and fries are the best. If you have not been, I recommend getting what you want and find a seat outside. The vibe is very casual.

First visit to this Grist House. The parking is funky here. We followed the signs up to the building and found ourselves in a traffic jam of cars cruising the area for the very limited parking spots. We then saw a shuttle bus come up and drop folks off, so we followed it and found that there is a lower lot after the entrance (at least from the way we came). We were able to easily park there and hop in the bus when it returned. Upstairs the space is huge, but our group of 6 found a table to sit at. The place can get loud and there were a lot of people that brought their small children. The views from outside were great and the air is impressive. I liked that they actually serve food here. We weren't sure what to expect portion wise from the burger, we found it to be slider sized but very thick. We each ordered a burger and split fries. The burgers were small but filling. The fries were good. They had a decent tap list, but the line to be served was very long when we were there. It's an interesting venue and worth a visit.

Food was good. Burger and large pretzel yum. Service is pretty good. Place looks cool but also strange. There's 3 floors. Also weird military building but cool. ALSO: there's supposed to be lots of kids here but there's like 4. Were mid summer break too, by the way.

What a great spot to spend a beautiful day! This place offers different atmospheres to enjoy, whether you want to sit inside or take advantage of the outdoor area, bring your dog, when the weather is nice. Today was gorgeous for early March, so the outdoor section was open and it made the experience even better. The beer list is incredible, with a wide variety of styles to explore. I highly recommend the tasting option, which includes 5-ounce pours of up to five different varietals--a great way to sample the range and find your favorite. I enjoyed the house lager and the fruitful sours. Lindsay was our server and she was courteous. Her recommendations for the tasting made it easier to navigate such a great selection. The food menu leans more toward casual fare like hot dogs, hamburgers, and salads rather than elaborate dishes. I ordered a hot dog and fries. It was simple but tasty, and the order was ready in about 15 minutes, which felt reasonable given how busy it was. Inside, classic rock was playing, adding to the relaxed brewery atmosphere. The outdoor view will likely get even better as more greenery grows in around the space. Overall, it's a great place to relax, explore a strong beer list, and enjoy friendly service. I'm glad Pittsburgh has this new brewery and I hope they will show the World Cup Games in June!

"I command you to happy hour," I say, not-so-subtly hinting at the location to my sister. Grist Command is a huge space with expansive views, can see some of the downtown buildings when it's clear. Love the three decks, multiple bars. Excellent service typically, everyone is friendly and prompt. Food is good, little bit expensive, but hot and lots of variety of sauces. Really the only bad thing is the parking, they have a lot but if it's full you have to shuttle.

We were really impressed when we first walked in, but we left disappointed by the way we were treated by one of the employees. We chose this spot specifically because it presents itself as family friendly, and, before visiting, we reviewed the house rules listed on the website. We had three adults supervising one two-year-old at all times, she stayed with us in a high chair at the table. There was no running, climbing, or unsafe behavior. At one point, while we were playing peek-a-boo with her, she loudly squealed happily for less than a minute intermittently. A young female employee approached our table and told us--while I was literally mid-sentence correcting her to use her inside voice--we would need to move to the patio "if she continue[d] because of the noise." The interaction felt especially unnecessary given that earlier, when she cried while we were waiting for food, no one said anything. What made the interaction feel worse was that it occurred very soon after the only adult male in our group had left for a sales appointment. The timing and tone of the interaction made us feel singled out and uncomfortable. We didn't stay much longer and didn't purchase anything further. I completely understand that businesses need to maintain a comfortable environment for all guests, and if there are expectations around children needing to remain nearly silent indoors, that may be worth just considering an adults-only atmosphere. However, happy toddler noises for a brief moment in a loud and crowded brewery marketed as family friendly did not seem unreasonable to us. We live just minutes away and had been excited to become regular customers when we first arrived and were very impressed by our drinks and the atmosphere. The tail end of our experience was especially disappointing and we left with a subpar impression. I'm sharing this feedback because the interaction genuinely made us feel unwelcome, despite being attentive, respectful patrons who were following the posted rules. We considered bringing our pup for the patio, but we were unsure if he would bark, so we decided not to bring him as well. I also wanted to mention that we noticed responses to Google reviews often encourage customers to reach out directly by email with concerns, so we felt this was the most polite and constructive way to provide feedback rather than leaving a public review first. It's been two weeks since the email I sent, to the brewery and I've heard nothing back. We also would like to mention that there are no vegetarian options on the menu beyond salad, hot pretzels, and French fries, despite there being many brands of offering vegetarian hot dogs and burgers.

We stopped by on Saturday at 3pm for our friend's birthday. Parking can be a little confusing with multiple lots but luckily we caught someone as they were leaving and we were able to be fairly close to the front door. The inside is pretty big and has a big indoor area and a big outdoor area. You can get beer up at the counter. It was absolutely packed and I was very glad we had a private room. I only had one draft but it was pretty good! I would come back!

I love the original Grist in Millvalle, so I was excited to visit their new location at the former Nike missle base in Oakdale. The beer selection was impressive. They kept some signs from the Nike missile site, which is very cool. Besides the main floor, there are 2 rooftop places to sit outside. The food is very good. Although the text message said my food would be ready in 20 minutes, it was closer to 5 minutes. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. It was hard to find a parking spot and a table. It was also difficult to hear any conversation at our table. Staff were very attentive.

My Beer Meet Up group went to Gristhouse Command Wednesday night. It was my first time. The space was great. You could see the Nike Installation "radome" from miles away. This place was huge! While there I decide to try food from the snack shack. Got the basic burger, which was perfect and a co-goer shared fries (which they had malt vinegar for!). The beer is always great but I fell for the plumbus shaman ! I love anything infused with plums. I highly recommend a night out here. What a great addition to the gristhouse name/brand.

This new spot is amazing-exactly what the South Hills needed. The inside is beautiful with tons of seating, multiple bars, and future event spaces. They had burgers, hot dogs, fries, salads, and pretzels at the snack bar. They had a TON of sauces to pick from. The beer cheese for the pretzel had a little kick and was delicious. The pretzel was a deep fried pretzel and was delicious. They have THREE levels of deck with STUNNING views. You can see all the way to downtown. This spot is dog friendly on the patio and family friendly. There is a nice parking lot out front and extra parking down the hill where they will have a shuttle. Beer and service were great as always. 10/10 recommend.

Grist House Command is a great addition to the area! They've only been open a couple months, and we've gone back numerous times, which speaks to the atmosphere, service, and vibes! We love that the space is huge (both indoors and outdoors), there's plenty of seating, and it's very family-friendly. They have a good mix of beers (and NA mocktails) for all tastes: IPAs, lagers, and sours. Their menu isn't anything fancy, but it includes hot dogs, burgers, and fries, and all of the dipping sauces. Whether you're looking for a night out or a place to watch some football, Grist House Command is the perfect spot!

This place is amazing!! Great views and service! Don't go here thinking you can get a Budweiser, they only sell THEIR brews! My husband tried a few different ones and said they were all great!! There is a snake bar here! Simple items( fries, hotdogs, sliders) no table service you order in line or on your phone! They have a lot of cool merch also! 3 levels of seating and wonderful views!!

This building is just incredible on its own - from gorgeous views of a far away downtown Pittsburgh to the three, YES THREE, decks outside and the large indoor space, this place was PACKED and it still was an incredible time. Parking lot is not large, so they do have a shuttle service that runs from a lot below the hill. Multiple places to order Beers so the lines never took too long. Food seem to be a scan to order from an app, or you can order at the food window and then pick up when ready. We particularly didn't eat, but the food we saw looked amazing. Vibes are 10/10, beer is always great from Grist House, and this location just tops them all! Can't wait to come back!
