    I read about Heist on Facebook about a month ago and have been dying to go! My friends and I went yesterday 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!

    New Distillery in downtown Burgettstown PA.... Glad I stopped in! Got to meet and talk to the man behind the juice being made here. Very cool nostalgic atmosphere and the spirits being created did not disappoint! Can't wait to get my hands on some of the cask strength bottles when they pop up

    Very cool use of an old bank building with fabulous cocktails. New cocktails added monthly. Most can be made into mocktails. Well worth a trip to Burgettstown.

    This was our first visit to this location. One of the things that we do is travel to anything in the spirits world in the region. This is the 27th distillery in the Pittsburgh region. Found out from the owner that they opened up in January of 2023. He mentioned about the license that they have in place. Allows this to serve drinks here, sell their products at other locations (bars, restaurants) etc; When you walk in you get this nice smell of whiskey fermenting. Love the smell and a great view of the production floor. They have a 100 gallon pot still on the floor. Masher and a unit for fermentation. They have another device for distilling the Gin. Alex the owner mentioned that he has plans to add another pot still, something larger than the 100 gallon. As they start off, Alex and his wife still have full-time jobs in their industry before they can justify the ability to go full-time with the business. This is common with many people that own wineries, breweries, distilleries etc; We sampled the only 3 products that they have. Apple and Oranges, Gin and a whiskey base that is a bourbon but a clear spirit for now. They are working on a bourbon as they have barrels as small as 2 gallons, 5, 10, 15 and as larges as 59 gallons aging with the base to create a brown spirit for the bourbon experience. All of the samples were good and unique in the taste that we experienced. They have a new set of drinks weekly or monthly. I had the apples and oranges and like it. But loved the mule with the jalapeño, it had a spice to it that I loved. The owner Alex was nice and explained everything clearly. He explained the devices that he has in place on the production floor. Getting to the distillery, this is in a old bank and goes with the theme of Heist and the bathrooms have photos of bank robbers, bonnie and Clyde. Cool experience. Alex, mentioned that they are working on outside seating as well. This is a good stop to have pre-drinks before a concert moving forward. Overall impressive experience. I purchased a bottle of the Apple and Oranges and look forward to our next visit at this nice and upcoming distillery to the area and only spirit place in Burgettstown.

But Space Bar took some of their staff to…read morethe 2026 World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim, and hosted a party in the convention hotel (on August 28). The staff they had at the convention were all super-cool people. They served great drinks. I haven't seen their drink menu, so I just said a few words about what I like, and they mixed up good stuff -- at reduced alcohol per my request. Perfect! Best of all, they had the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal as their special guest. (But she lives in North Carolina, so don't expect her as a regular in the Pittsburgh location.) Space Bar is obviously LGBT+ friendly, but it's an everyone bar. OK, maybe not everyone: it will be more fun if you're interested in science fiction and fantasy, and don't upset the vibe. I'll be sure to visit the in-person location next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

The cocktails were creative, playful, and impressively strong without sacrificing quality. I had the Seoular Flare, which had a noticeable kick but was still very drinkable. It came with BBQ chips, and when our bartender--the same guy from that morning--noticed how much I loved them, he brought me extra. Such a thoughtful touch. The rest of our drinks were equally inventive and well-crafted. I admittedly had some doubts about whether the creativity would translate into cocktails that actually tasted good, but they completely proved me wrong. A fun concept backed by genuinely great drinks and hospitality.

There is inside and outside seating as well as some bar seating. The decor and atmosphere are interesting.

I settled on a lemon blueberry martini and it was good. The food menu is very limited, but being that Italian is my favorite, I was a happy camper. 4 of us shared the arancini, which was not my favorite. I order this often when I am out and this one was dry and I didn't care for the prosciutto and cheese in the middle. For my entree, I settled on the spaghetti and meatballs which arrived steaming hot which I love. There were 3 huge meatballs which had a nice little spice to them. The sauce was good and the portion size was perfect. No room for dessert. Overall, a good evening

The people who work there are always nice and accommodating. Last weekend, I was there to see Goo Goo Dolls and wanted to buy discounted Billy Idol tickets. One of the workers walked me to her colleague who was selling them and was also so friendly and helpful. It's been great being able to get these discounted tickets out there. Tickets are so expensive anymore. It has been a nice change having these reduced ticket opportunities. The only thing that could be improved is parking. It is always a nightmare. Most people who are out there don't seem to really care and take it seriously. That means that people are in endless traffic and people are parking all over the place. I also can't believe they are charging people $50-70 for this "preferred" parking. I don't think so.

The infamous Roman dish with so few ingredients that it has no right delivering this much flavor. It's simple food that exposes bad technique instantly... and botL absolutely nails it. They don't mess around either, even incorporating the hollowed-out cheese wheel. Sure, it might look a little showy... but when it tastes this good, who cares? I added the blackened shrimp and it was cooked to perfection. Perfect seasoning, perfect texture, perfect addition. Sometimes the best meals come from the most unexpected places... and botL fits that bill perfectly.

Some activities were free and some needed a gaming card to play. There are dining tables and bar stools inside, as well as picnic tables and more seats at the bar outside. It was a beautiful night, so all of the large windows were open. Their bar included signature cocktails and mocktails, as well as limited beer and wine options. The food menu wasn't very extensive, but we tried the buffalo chicken dip, caprese dip, guacamole and queso, Thai chicken tacos, and a flatbread. The food came out quickly, and everything was pretty good; it wasn't anything spectacular, but decent to snack on while you play games and enjoy the atmosphere.
