    Love this place. It's an intimate setting for listening to live music. I'll definitely be back.

    Super fun and chill place for parties. Great sound and set up for instruments and mics. Cozy but still kicks.

    Stopped in again to try this place…read more Vibes are great, lots of outdoor seating. Live music. Honestly a great place to hang out and have some beers/food. I tried their sausage pizza. It had onion and arugula. Pretty average but I still enjoyed it. Beer was great. Service was good. 5 stars because I like the atmosphere of this place.

Examples of menu items are salads, sandwiches, pizzas, rice bowls, beers, and cocktails. My husband and I ate one dinner here. The seating host promptly and politely seated us. The waitress first served a table of customers that was seated after us, so we had a bit of a wait to order, receive our foods, and get our check. Meanwhile, we enjoyed live music from a talented singer-guitarist. I ate the Blackened Shrimp Bowl, which contained large shrimps, plain white rice, black-bean and corn salsa, pico de gallo, avocado, and fried tortilla strips. My husband ate the Crispy Chicken Club, which consisted of breaded chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, avocado ranch, and a kaiser roll (no tomato at my husband's request). I asked him if he thought that it was decent, and he said yes. On the side were potato chips. The total price was $36 plus tax and tip.

    I find myself visiting Stage AE several times a year for various concerts, Steeler games, and other…read morecity events. Personally, I have never had a bad experience here, and always enjoy the different events hosted at the venue. Conveniently located in the heart of the Pittsburgh's North Shore neighborhood, Stage AE sits right in between Acrisure Stadium (Heinz Field) and PNC Park. There is clear and visible signage that will make locating the building simple. It is surrounded by many different bars and restaurants along North Shore Drive that are open pretty late, so plenty of options for food and drinks before or after your event. The River Walk along with Ohio is also just a block or two away. Though this is located within Pittsburgh proper, there is ample parking all around. The entire venue is essentially surrounded by surface lots, parking garages, and street parking options, due to the proximity to both Acrisure and PNC Park. If there is no other major event happening in the area, I can typically get a street spot for concerts to avoid paying a lot for a spot in a parking lot. If you would rather opt for public transit to get here, there are two T stops within walking distance to the venue: North Side and Allegheny. I believe the North Side Station would be slightly closer, but they are pretty much the same distance. The venue's entrance is located along Chuck Noll Way. If the event is outdoors or there is an outdoor component, they will have another entrance at the corner of Chuck Noll Way and North Shore Drive. This corner is also where the box office is located. Unless you are planning on camping out before the venue opens, I have never really waited in a line to enter. The process of going through security and getting inside has always been simple each time I have visited. FYI, there is a bag policy, but they will allow exceptions for medical bags after searching them. Majority of the "seating" here is general admission/standing room. There are pros and cons to this, depending on who you are and your preference for seating. Pros are that you can stand anywhere - on the floor in front of the stage, further back near the bar, somewhere in between - the world is your oyster there. The cons are that you do not have a dedicated, reserved space, nor an actual seat, if you want that. There are actual seats in the upper balcony section, though I have never sat in this area. They are specific tickets and seem to always sell out, no matter the show. The venue itself is great. The acoustics, the optics, and the overall experience never disappoint. The shows are good whether you are right up front, or decide to hang back further. It never feels overwhelmingly crowded, even when you are in the floor area for a concert. No matter if it is a Country show, Hardcore band, or event some Yacht Rock, I truthfully have no complaints regarding the concert/event experience here! I especially love coming here before a Steeler game. The inside and outside are usually open, and the atmosphere is like one giant tailgate. You can grab a beer, watch some football, and have a good time before you make your way into the stadium. They also bring in additional restrooms to accommodate the larger crowds. Would highly recommend this if you ever find yourself looking for pre-game plans. Once you enter the indoor venue, the main bar is located to your right in the back. When the events are outdoors, there will be bars open outside as well. The menu consists of Cocktails, Wines, Seltzers, Craft Beer, Domestic Beer, Pepsi Products, Water, Non-Alcoholic Beer, and a few other drinks. They also seem to offer themed drinks in line with whatever concert or event is being hosted that night. My one note on the drinks is that they serve the bottles of water without a lid. I find this extremely inconvenient, especially if you are in a more lively crowd and want to move around. Very hard to do that without a cap to keep your drink contained! A food/concession stand sits on the right side wall near the back. Some of the drinks are also served in this stand, along with some typical concession stand-type food. I have personally never tried any, but I imagine it is typical arena/stadium cuisine. At both the bars and the concession areas, there are always a ton of employees. Therefore, there is never really a line. Anytime I have ordered anything, I am waited on almost immediately. Pricing is high for the drinks and the concessions, but that is almost expected given the type of venue this is. Stage AE is an awesome venue for smaller concerts and hang outs during sporting events. It is easy to get to, navigate, and is always very clean and welcoming. I've never seen a bad show here, and always look forward to coming down when the opportunity presents itself. I would recommend giving a concert a try here, whether indoors or out, as they are all always a great time!

    This is by far my favorite concert venue in Pittsburgh. It's so much fun to go in the summer and…read moreeven great to see acts in the fall and winter inside. It's so convenient, easy to park and close to some fun bars and restaurants. My friends and I really enjoy going there. It's great that if you really like an artist, you can go to the front of the stage to watch them. I have been right upfront for some really great shows. It's so much fun to be right there seeing their passion for their art and being able to get into it with other fans who love them too. It's fun to go out on the lawn with a beverage and just hang out with friends to enjoy the show. You can also have fun with other people doing silly things like playing with giant inflatable beach balls that people bat around. You can also meet the artists at the merch booth, which is fun and get them to sign their albums or other merch.

The owners are friendly and see to it that everyone is enjoying themselves and relaxing. They care about the community and often have fund raisers to help various causes. The popcorn machine is one of my favorite features and puts out a great FREE snack to go with your beer. And the beer is ALWAYS COLD which I love any day of the year !! They have an area with pool tables televisions and seating so you can watch your friends play. I would give them a "10" if they had a full working kitchen ! But they do put out various sandwiches, fries, fresh deli subs...that everyone seems to enjoy. The place is huge with plenty of room at the bar so you don't have to worry about not having a seat. They have a party like atmosphere for sports games to watch on 1 of the MANY t.v.s and even puts out a free buffet for when teams reach playoffs ! And they have a Jolly Roger flag that they raise with the help of patrons to pose with when our Pirates win ! There is always 1 or more of the 3 owners there mingling with the patrons and seeing to everyone's comfort!

The brunette mentioned she had only been there for five days, but you never would have known it. She did an excellent job checking on guests and making sure everyone was taken care of. I ordered the 3-bone rib dinner with mac and cheese. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a rib snob, but these were outstanding. They had the perfect glaze with a nice crisp on the outside, weren't overcooked, and were so tender but not falling off the bone without being overly fatty. Easily some of the best ribs I've ever had. The mac and cheese was good, but it was spicier than I could handle. It would be nice if there were a non-spicy option available. We enjoyed a few beers, great food, and sat out on the patio listening to blues music on a beautiful summer evening. It was the perfect atmosphere, and I can't wait to come back. The only downside is that parking can get a little tight when they're busy, but it's well worth the visit.

Food and drinks are ready in just a few minutes and the dining area is ample with clean tables and clean floors. An upgrade of plastic utensils would be appreciated however. The chili was especially good as was the pork BBQ sandwich. Prices were reasonable to add to the experience. Parking can be a problem but there is some to be found on the other side of the street but lacks a crosswalk so be very careful.

They recently reopened with 25% capacity and social distancing in place as well as mask requirements. The stage is an outdoor covered pavilion type setting with a high roof and open ends on three of the four sides. The one side is concessions and includes food and alcohol sales. I attended my first concert there on August 8 and the facility and patrons did a very nice job of obeying all of Allegheny County's rules for masks and social distancing. It was so great to hear live music again. Look them up on Facebook to find their concert schedule, there will be weekly music on Thursdays. Restrooms are in a building outside. Only four people are allowed per table and the chairs are distanced 6 feet apart. All tables are distanced 6 feet apart & are pre-sanitized before events. Masks are required when walking around and no idle standing is allowed. You are supposed to wear your mask unless you're eating or drinking at your table. This is a really great venue in the summertime and I hope it keeps going! #SaveOurStages
