This spot has incredible city views and a really great atmosphere. It was cold when we visited, so the windows weren't fully open, but you can tell this place would be amazing in the warmer months with everything open and the city as the backdrop. The food menu is smaller but well thought out. We ordered the roasted root vegetables, which were flavorful and perfectly done, and the mushroom pizza, which was outstanding loaded with mushrooms, nicely garlicky, and full of flavor. The cocktails really stood out: well-balanced, creative, and with a large selection to choose from. We tried a variety and enjoyed every one. Overall, this is a great spot for drinks, views, and solid food. Definitely recommend checking it out, and street parking is available read more

Had such a great first visit to the finch! The views were absolutely immaculate (as you can see). The inside is stunning and the bartenders felt like they were our besties! We got the roasted shishito peppers and they were perfect with a crisp glass of wine on a summer night. Would absolutely come back! read more

The site advertises itself as a "distillery complex." Multiple floors in an old warehouse or manufacturing building. One floor includes a cigar lounge. I think this would be a dealbreaker for some: you smell cigars when you come in, certainly in the elevator, and even on the upper floor within the bar and restaurant. Not an issue for me, but I could see it being deeply problematic for anyone who is sensitive to cigar smoke. They probably need to revisit their air handling system. No draught beer. November 2025 - Front of house staff was incredibly friendly. - The order of six deviled eggs for $14 is presented as "two different styles: classic and elevated." This $14 appetizer is serviceable, but unimpressive and overpriced. We have had better deviled eggs at multiple other venues. - The draft mango Mojito is a complete delight. Excellent flavor profile and mouth feel. - One of our group really enjoyed the garden sunset cocktail with gin, hibiscus syrup, lemon and lime. Not too sweet: perfect for her. - The grilled wings are excellent. These are sous vide, finished on a grill. They could actually probably hit them a little bit harder on the grill, but the product that came out of the kitchen was excellent. We had the buffalo version, and would completely order again. 4.2-4.4 on the 5 point Wing Scale. - The brisket flatbread is good; One member of our group was quite pleased while another found it merely serviceable. read more

The windows were closed because it was a chillier day, we sat on the bar counter next to a window. It was bar service, you had to get up and order from the bartender. We went up the first time and were ignored for a few minutes, so we went back to our seats thinking a server would come. Nobody came, we ended up returning up to the bar. The person next to us flagged the bartender down for us after almost 10 minutes standing there, even when they came over the bartender tried to ignore us again. Many bartenders standing around polishing glasses and not taking care of customers. I couldn't wait to finish my drink and leave, not welcoming at all. It is a shame, the view is great. read more

My friend and I met here for drinks and some apps. The space can be a little difficult to find but it's nothing crazy. I did knock a star off because there is only valet parking (that I was able to find). I made a reservation for the restaurant/cocktail bar. The views are stunning! For my cocktail, I ordered the "pickled govenor" which has seven governors gin, pickle brine, lemon,& garnished with a pickle slice. Not that it's a big "dill" (see what I did there?) , but my drink did not come garnished with a pickle slice. For our apps, we ordered the fire roasted chicken wings (with sizzle sauce), the chicken florentine meatballs and the stuffed mushrooms with chicken sausage. Everything was good. Our service was good too. I'd like to visit again when the weather is warmer! read more

Having heard about the Finch and driving past it a few times. We decided to check it out on nice sunny Friday afternoon. We checked out the distillery on the first floor, the selection is large and I'd like to spend more time there. We then headed for the 6th floor roof deck. It was pretty awesome and crowded. The inside bar area was also busy but we grabbed a some seats and had a drink. After a few minutes we decide to go the 4th floor cigar club. My wife said it was the nicest cigar place she's ever seen and we've been to quite a few. Check out our pictures and you'll see what I mean. It's a first class place from top yo bottom. I think you'll like it. read more

The Finch, on the top floor of The Distillery Complex, a rooftop lounge is an absolutely breathtaking. It's the perfect backdrop for their crafted cocktails and small plates. Cocktails are curated with Big Spring Spirits a local distillery- grab a bottle from their bottle shop on your way out on the first floor! Plus, the ambiance is top-tier--modern and sophisticated with a touch of historic charm. A great spot for lite bites, great drinks & stunning views! read more

The building can be a little tricky to locate, but it's worth finding. I tried three different cocktails & all were pretty good. Wanted something small & went with the sliders. They weren't my favorite and lacked a little flavor. All was well with the view at night though! Also a plus was that they had chargers at the bar because my phone was on low battery after a long day with a Steelers game and bar hopping. Staff was friendly! Not sure about parking because I walked there. Good for a GNO or date night. read more

The venue is absolutely beautiful--clean, inviting, and well-maintained. The staff was amazing and very welcoming. While we didn't try the food, the drinks were tasty, though they could be a bit stronger at the price point they are. It would be great if they offered a happy hour. Also they need to offer a flight of their house liquors. The biggest downside is the parking situation. Valet is available for $8, but I prefer not to let anyone else drive my car. It would be helpful if the website mentioned that you can park in the Station Square lot and walk over--that's the closest self-parking option. Despite that, the stunning views and overall atmosphere make it well worth the visit. The other patrons where also very friendly. It's truly a wonderful space. read more

Before heading to dinner, we stopped here for a drink. Located in a repurposed building on the south side under Mt. Washington, there are several businesses in the building from a bottle and tasting room, to another bar, and this place which is on the rooftop. Airy, could be loud with a proper crowd. We walked to the bar and made our order. Staff was friendly enough. I ordered. White Russian variant that was on the menu. It was good - I liked the flavor to it and would recommend stopping here. read more

I had previously been to the Finch for drinks however I had never eaten there so prior to the weekend snowstorm I got a group of friends together and we went for dinner. It was myself, 3 friends, and a my one friend's teenage daughter. The dress was business casual although you could go casual too, but not like sweatpants casual. The atmosphere was City vibe but hidden, and it was the perfect mix of mood lighting and vibe music, which made it perfect for date night or grabbing drinks or dinner with friends. Our server was attentive and offered suggestions when asked about the menu and prompt in providing food and beverage service. The food was delicious. while I probably wouldn't order what I got again there was nothing wrong with it, it was just not what I wanted in the moment that said there were so many other things on the menu that I would want to try before I cycle back to ordering the same thing again. I also loved that they had a large larger drink selection, which included no less than 10 mock tails so you could enjoy the evening without having to drink if that's your choice and I really think that a lot of places don't prioritize that yet so I give them props to making a larger mocktail selection. Overall, I rate this in 5 and I definitely think it's a vibe for date night; although I would never turn down drinks or dinner with friends there! read more

I was excited to visit the distillery at south shore and visit the Finch for dinner and drinks. The view of the city was amazing. The server was helpful and was training someone new. I enjoyed the lavender lemonade, the finch platter, and crab cakes. I would love to visit again, read more

Note: I attended a special ticketed event. My friend who invited me had been 2 previous times and enjoyed it both visits. The brick building exterior is gorgeously lit up at night. They offer valet at their main public entrance on the east side of the building. It's also accessible from the paved multi-use Three Rivers Heritage Trail from the direction of Station Square. Of course my personal safety is important to me so it was unsettling to me all party goers were wanded by the security guard for hidden weapons upon entry. I very much appreciated a coat room being set up for the event (staged in my favorite room with exposed brick). I also appreciated the comfortable room temperature throughout the building. The holiday decorations were classy and prime for photo backdrops. There are two elevators so waits were reasonable. Also, the number of people in the smaller than expected space was comfortable! Thankfully, we were not all packed in and there was one side of the bar without chairs where people could stand in line to order drinks. The bartenders were constantly working hard but there were way more of us than them. All the staff I encountered were lovely. We had eaten dinner elsewhere before coming so I did not try the food menu. Had I been hungry for a late night bite, the gigantic hot pretzel looked tempting to share with a group. It was the end of December and snowing outside so we only briefly went out onto the uncovered rooftop patio for photos of the city skyline. I prefer the green space over at nearby The Highline but in cold weather, The Finch provides the best indoor option. read more

I absolutely loved The Finch! The view is amazing, the bartenders are skilled, and the drinks/food are delicious! I tried the Lavender Lemonade cocktail, which was good, but overall, a classic Cosmo was my favorite drink of the evening. We had the brisket sliders, but I caught a glimpse of the pretzel with the meat and cheese addition, and it looked amazing! I can't wait to visit again! read more

If you're a rooftop lover like myself, you need to try The Finch. A new spot with such creative cocktails and insane views of the city skyline. Honestly up there for me with Over Eden--the views are really worth the visit. We got the Pickle Governor and Castaway, both really good cocktails but you need to be a serious pickle lover to enjoy the Governor! Busy Saturday night spot but plenty of room outdoors for everyone to enjoy the view. Absolutely worth the visit! read more

What a true gem the entire Distillery Complex is. From the very start, we were welcomed by the most courteous bouncer I've ever encountered, who graciously explained how everything worked and set the tone for the evening. We made our way up to The Finch on the rooftop, put our names in, and requested a table by the windows. While we waited, we grabbed a drink and stepped outside to take in the sunset over the city, perfect for photos. Soon after, we got a text for our table and enjoyed a warm pretzel and pizzetta alongside more drinks. The staff was kind and attentive, and the food and cocktails were From there, we headed back downstairs to the Bottle Shop for a Big Springs Spirits tasting with John, who was both personable and knowledgeable. We were told we could buy a bottle and bring it to The Drawing Room, a lounge that will eventually become members-only but is currently open to the public. Naturally, we did just that. At The Drawing Room, we were once again greeted with warmth and expertise. The team gave us a tour of the humidor, helped us select cigars tailored to our tastes, and provided glasses and mixers so we could enjoy our newly purchased spirits. We settled into plush seats by a fireplace, with the windows framing yet another vibrant city view. Cigars in hand, spirits in glass, we soaked in the swanky lounge experience. I've visited just about every spot in Pittsburgh, but this stands out as something truly elevated and one-of-a-kind. In a single building, we enjoyed rooftop cocktails, delicious bites, a spirits tasting, fine cigars, cozy lounges, stunning views, and impeccable service at every turn. It is an all-encompassing experience and without question, my new favorite spot in the city. Go now, before it is discovered by everyone and The Drawing Room transitions to members-only. read more

Awesome new rooftop cocktail bar with an amazing view of the city! They're on the 6th floor of The Distillery Complex.

We had great service and enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be back! read more

My friend and I came here for happy hour drinks and food on a Friday around 6pm. The place was absolutely slammed. We were greeted before we got onto the elevator, which was nice. The staff helped us determine what was on which floor, as the building has 4 separate floors all with separate businesses. Though the cigar bar was on level 2, the entire building and the elevator smelled like cigars. Pros from our experience at The Finch: the views. Cons: the wait time, the customer experience. We stood at the bar for 35 minutes before being able to order a drink. We put our names on the waitlist for a table as soon as we got there and that took about 50 minutes. Once we had a table, our server though polite and energetic, was stretched far too thin with responsibilities and we only saw her 3 times within our 2.5 hour duration. The food came out luke warm and we didn't have silverware. It took forever to catch anyone's attention. I expected it to be busy since the place is hot and new, but even with those mid level expectations, the experience just didn't deliver. read more

A cocktail place without ingredients to make a signature drink at 8pm. $14 for an old fashioned served in a glass filled to the brim with chipped ice cubes, (when single large rocks were available), Asked for a double bourbon, one cube. Bartender repeats back "double bourbon, one cube", proceeds to give me a double bourbon in a glass filled with chipped ice. $18 for bourbon drowned in ice. Thanks. If I have to wait 30 minutes plus and pay $68 for 4 drinks, I expect much better than this. I was scared to even order the food since it smelled like several orders got charcoaled while I was in said 30 minute line for a drink. Also, can't stand the smell of cigar smoke, and it smacks you in the face when you get on the elevator. read more

3 major complaints here. 1. This bar/restaurant is infested with flies. It's near the river and open top, the smoking patio was absolutely covered in flies and inside they were also everywhere. It was pretty gross to have bugs all around our drinks. 2. The servers don't really seem to know what they're doing. We ordered a bottle of champagne and the guy said he'd be right back, and then he just... never brought it? He never acknowledged it either. He just kept walking past our table and we had to flag someone else down to order order something else and pay our bill. 3. I left my sunglasses on the table, and when I went back in to get them, a server said she didn't have anyone turn them in. Another server then said she saw them there but didn't buss the table, then checked with the bar staff. They were acting really weird about it, so I'm pretty sure whoever bussed the table just stole them. And if not, what kind of waitress sees a customers item left on the table and doesn't give it to the bartender or host right away? I won't ever go back here. read more
