We enjoyed Wiggle very much and it's always a stop when we are in town. We stopped in on a rainy Monday afternoon and found it to be very empty. Well, the website said that their kitchen was open when we got there the bartender let us know that it was in fact not open and that it was only beverage service. That was a slight disappointment to us as we probably would've hung out later if we could've been able to get food. I did a flight and tried the honey, the apple, the kilted barrel cast, and the Wapsie. Overall, I thought they were all pretty decent. The kilted definitely has a lot of peak and drinks very closely to a scotch. The honey one for me was my favorite and I ended up buying a bottle to bring home. My husband got an old-fashioned made with the Wapsie. He enjoyed it but liked it even more after the ice melted a bit. We were a little surprised that they close so early on a Monday but they close even earlier on Sundays so highly recommend that you pay attention to the operating hours if you're planning to visit. read more

Found this is drafts and forgot to post. Stopped in for a quick snack before the baseball game. Service was kinda slow, it wasn't the best experience. The cheese tax 9/10 Cheese was great. wasn't a fan of them with the bbq so we got ranch for dipping too. read more

Wigle Whiskey has been on my list since I moved to Pittsburgh. Sopped in on Sunday to buy a bottle to give to my dad. It was my first time here and we sampled so many delicious spirits that we walked out with 6 bottles! (There's a discount if you buy 6). We had a lot of fun tasting various spirits and learning about them. I told our server "this might be my new favorite place in Pittsburgh." I am ready to go back for happy hour and a tour! I also can't wait for their cocktails and cookies pairings for the holidays. Until next time, I'll be sipping Wigle from home! read more

That was a pretty smooth espresso martini for $14 (Photo 10). Actually the official name of the cocktail is Do You Make Espresso Martinis? because people wouldn't expect a whiskey distillery to offer one. However, Wigle does because they produce a wide array of spirits beyond whiskey like the vodka and coffee liqueur in this mix. I depended on YouTube travel vloggers to point me in the direction of this popular distillery bar and cafe in the Strip District. The place was bustling in the middle of the afternoon, and I was lucky to secure the last stool at the bar. The espresso martini drew my eye, and I thought I should have a snack to go with it. I ordered the $12 Devil's Eggvocate. Four deviled egg halves were topped with smoked paprika, pickled jalapeño slices, and bacon jam made with their own coffee liqueur (Photo 9). It was a bit top heavy for me, but then I never reject a deviled egg. If I wasn't driving, I might've considered trying a whiskey tasting, but it just wasn't in the cards. COCKTAIL / FOOD - 4 stars...smooth martini, over-the-top deviled eggs AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but the bar was fine SERVICE - 3.5 stars...seemed understaffed TOTAL - 4 stars...worth having a taste and not just whiskey RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

I do not normally write reviews. Braxton was a fantastic tour guide - my wife and I learned more about distilling in less than an hour than we ever expected possible. Braxton was an extremely knowledgeable and interactive tour guide. He served as the main attraction of the whole experience for my wife and I. Thank you to Wigle Whiskey & Braxton for a great experience! read more

My review is primarily based on the whiskey, it is definitely top notch, 10 out of 10 whiskey. The flavors across the board were unique and special. From straight to cask strength, flavored to canned, Wigle Whiskey takes their products seriously. We stopped in for a tasting and sat at the bar for a flight. Sadly, the bartenders are seriously lacking in both personality and knowledge of the products. No interaction from either of them and unable to answer some of the basic questions we had. We are avid distillery visitors across the country, we love the product and the mastery of it. Thank goodness for Nick and Braxton, they were the definite pros the night we were there. Nick was working in the store area and had full knowledge of everything on the shelves, no question was too hard and his friendliness had us forgetting our lackluster start! Nick even grabbed the manager and got us in on the final half of a tour, what a treat that was! Braxton not only quickly caught us up without skipping a beat but then spent extra time telling us the history and vision of Wigle. Our server on the tour, wish I had his name, was phenomenal, he created the perfect ending to our experience. Thoroughly impressed, we are definitely now huge Wigle fans and will continue buying the products! read more

Stopped here recently for some drinks and apps. The setup makes for a good spot to stop during the warmer months, with part of the bar being outside. Shawn was our server and was awesome. He kept the bar lively and fun the whole time we were there. The drinks he made us were all fresh and delicious. My wife and I split buffalo chicken dip. It was one of the best I have ever had. It had a different consistency and flavor than traditional buffalo chicken dip, but it was great. read more

Wigle Whiskey has a new pop up, Stars, Stripes, & Spirits! They had really fun themed cocktails and my favorites were the Rocket Pop and Smashed Strawberry Lemonade. I haven't had a corn dog in forever and was so excited that they have classic food offerings like corn dogs and fried oreos. Our bartenders were super nice and efficient. The only thing I didn't love is that in the distillery side room there's only two AC units that couldn't keep up so they just opened the doors and all the hot air came in and unfortunately I run on the hot side. Hopefully that won't be the case in the future. The grand opening is TODAY (June 27th) and it only runs for three weekends through July 12th so get there while you can! read more

While visiting Pittsburgh, a friend and I scheduled the Wigle Distillery Tour. It started with a welcome cocktail. We got to spend an incredible hour with Gayle learning about Pittsburgh history and the history of Mr. Wigle. To say the tour was amazing would be an understatement. We had 6 people on the tour, but Gayle made each of us feel special. Her passion for Whiskey was on full display. We got to sample 6 different products during the tour (my favorite was the cinnamon whiskey) and afterwards you could have a sample of any other product. You also got 25% off a bottle or anything in the gift shop. We popped to the gift shop and chatted with Olivia who gave us some recommendations before Gayle stopped by to say goodbye one more time. If you are coming through Pittsburgh and are in the Strip District you have to come take the tour. And tell Gayle we say hello :) read more

Wigle is one of my favorite distilleries in the area! When ever im in the area I love to pop in and get a flight to try whats new as well as a cocktail. At this point i think i've tried all of their base spirits and while some may be stronger than others I really do enjoy most of them. As far as cocktails they have things that pair really well and they know how to balance things out. I love that there is a mix of indoor and outdoor seating as well so you can really enjoy a summer cocktail on their patio. read more

Located in the Strip District, Wigle Whiskey has a bar and restaurant and then offers an amazing tour and tasting experience every Saturday. They take you through their process, from using locally sourced grain to crafting award-winning rye, bourbon, gin, rum, and more. One of the highlights? Learning about Pittsburgh's Whiskey Rebellion--a wild and pivotal moment in U.S. history. The storytelling makes the experience even more immersive! The tour includes a spirit tasting, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Wigle's craft. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or just looking for something unique to do, this tour is 10/10! read more

My first time eating at Wigle and since the renovation. A really nice dining area now and the food was really good. The drinks were fantastic - whiskey sour and espresso martini! The cheese curd was delicious with barbecue dipping sauce, which I never would have thought! The eggplant sandwich had a nice spicy kick and the eggplant was grilled tender. I've already been back after taking a cocktail class! read more

Just great. We went for Father's Day lunch and our meal started with a complimentary mini old fashioned for the dad at our table. I had a Something Sour 75 (delicious--I love their gin) and he had a Rye Old Fashioned. (He liked the complimentary cocktail better.) Good start. We had pretzel sticks (fine, nothing special) and the roasted squash salad, fried zucchini sando, and the cluck around and find out (chicken sandwich) --all filling and well executed--all in all, a nice relaxing lunch. The perfectly lined-up bottles throughout the place will really speak to your sense of order :) and servers and bartender were very friendly. I kind of thought of Wigle as a nice bottle I'd pick up at the package store, but now I'll associate it with a relaxing, interesting taproom and tasty lunch! Will go back for sure. read more

Stopped in for drinks post dinner and had the best time! The vibe when you walk inside (and honestly outside too!) is just adorable and there is so much to see.

I really like it here! I think the appetizers are actually really good, and i LOVE their pop up bars!!!! the drinks are always so fun and delicious. I think for a whiskey distillery, i should love their whiskey, but i actually find it a little bit too sweet. that's pretty much the only reason i wouldn't give it 5 stars... but i definitely could be persuaded. It's a great spot and i come here often! i LOVE their cheese curds and their pierogies read more

First of all, the drinks- flights, cocktails, and beers, were amazing. The appetizers (pork belly, pierogis, cheese curds, fried zucchini, and deviled eggs) were FANTASTIC!!! The salads and smash burgers were also great! SHAY, our server, and ZACK, Retail and Operations manager, absolutely made our visit fun, funny, personalized and memorable! A huge shout out for the host who seated our party of 6 so quickly and efficiently. We stopped for a drink, and stayed for appetizers and dinner! 7 stars out of 5! read more

I came in with a friend for happy hour on a Monday when not much else in the area was open. Wigle's happy hour specials include $2 off Classic Cocktails, $2 off Threadbare Cider Draft Pours, $3 off hummus, Pierogis, pretzel sticks, and shrimp, $2 off Wings, and cheese curds, however the kitchen is closed on Mondays. We were not informed of this until we went to order. Our cocktails, the wake me up, french me up, were delicious and served with a wafer which was a nice touch! I look forward to returning sometime when the food menu is available. read more

Came in for the pop up bar, Wigle Wonderland, on a Friday night with friends. The first thing we noticed was the smell.. it was so warm inside and it smelled like a dirty gym sock. There was definitely no ventilation and we were all sweating within few minutes. The space is very small and there are a few chairs and a few high tops. Several of us ordered the berry christmas drink and all who did left the glasses more than half full. The drink was awful, but looked so pretty. It was super sweet and unbearably strong. The pros: the bartenders were quick and friendly. Every time you ordered, you closed out. You couldn't keep a tab open, but they were fast to run your card. The decorations were fun and festive and they managed to fit a christmas tree in there. read more

After the location next to Threadbare closed to the public, we started coming to this location for our Wigle fix and really loved the taster events they held the last few years where you pay for a ticket and walk through different stations for mini cocktail and food bites. We've since moved but whenever we're in town, we make a point to stop by. This time around, I got the s'mores old fashioned and it had the right amount of marshmallow with bourbon, and the mushroom arugula burger. So tasty! read more

This was on our list of places to try while visiting Pittsburgh. (Can guests call it the Burgh, or is that a 3rd date kinda move?) The bartender was super friendly and appeased our questions about what to check out while visiting. We were pretty happy with the flavors in our flights, though the 1st on each would up beingbour favorites. We also enjoyed the refreshing gimlet. We walked out with a bottle of the honey whiskey because it was smooth, baby. I also grabbed their rosemary lavender bitters because it was a nice addition in the gimlet. What can I say, I'm an easy sell. Lol, check em out. It's well worth a visit. read more

Went here to try festive holiday drinks for the first time in late Saturday evening. The bartenders are probably more attentive and efficient than others I've been to.

My friend got a bottle of whiskey to take home from out of state and staff were very helpful. read more

Wigle Whiskey (pronounced "wih-gul") is a craft distillery located in the Strip District of Pittsburgh, producing small-batch artisan whiskey. Entirely family-owned and operated, Wigle Whiskey is known for its organic "grain-to-glass" process, sourcing ingredients from nearby farms in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio. The distillery mills and distills grains on-site and serves the finished products at their location. During its startup, the Meyer family collaborated with the Artisan Distilling Program at Michigan State University. Wigle distills all of its whiskey from scratch and conducted a two-year study on regional terroir, producing Rye Whiskey from rye grown in Saskatchewan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, discovering distinct flavor differences based on the grain's origin. The food, whiskey, and customer service were the best we experienced during our visit. read more

Didn't eat anything here so can't speak to that. Looked like your average bar food. All I got was a vodka soda. When asked if their vodka had gluten (for reference Tito's does not, but many brands do), the waitress said "I've been told our vodka is like Tito's" which wasn't really an answer. This was annoying because as someone who had an autoimmune disorder, eating and drinking gluten is important to me and it was surprising that the waitress couldn't say whether their own distilled alcohol has gluten or not. On top of it, they served it to me with the oldest, driest slice of lime I've seen in a while. It's was like comically bad. When asked for a new one, they proceeded to give me 2 more that were exactly the same. As a place that makes its own alcohol it was insane how blatantly obvious it was that their fruit was DAYS old at best. Horrible 2.5/10. read more

We came for our anniversary. The cocktails were incredible but nothing compared to the food! And all of the puns for the menu items were hysterical. The white bean dip was creamy and so flavorful but the bread stole the show. The Nicholas Cajun pasta was so freaking good! I could've drank the sauce but we used some extra bread from our appetizer. The shrimp were huge and had a great grilled taste. The what In crustacean was an interesting concept for a sandwich - who doesn't love crab Rangoon?! The fries were so good I couldn't stop eating them! read more

We went to Wigle Whiskey for Phil-A-Palooza and dinner this weekend. Seeing Phil and getting a picture with him was cool and the included cocktail was good! We really enjoyed dinner as well, especially the cheese curds and pretzel sticks appetizers. They had a great cocktail selection (not all whiskey). The service was friendly! Would definitely recommended. read more

I'll start by saying that I only came for the food. I no longer drink. One of our friends said the drink he had was super tasty though! The inside is pretty small. I'd wish for a little more room, but it's not horrible. Decore is nice! There is some "best of" flags on the wall that give a weird highschool auditorium vibe. The food was amazing though. I'm a picky eater, and they had no issues not adding onions to my steak and cheese. The steak and cheese itself was delicious!! Huge, filled to the brim with meat and cheese. Perfectly seasoned. I 100% would get it again. The fries are phenomenal, and they give you about 5 pounds of them. We got the cheese balls as an app, and they were very good, but I have a suspicion (that could be wrong) that they were frozen. Still, super good. We also got both desserts, the churro and the brown butter cake. The churro's were an absolute skip for all of us. They were fine, but absolutely not worth the cost. The cake on the other hand... Holy Man. What an absolutely amazing cake. Well worth the cost and more. All in all I was pleasantly surprised and I would absolutely go again! Make sure you get reservations though as they fill up fast! read more

Had the most amazing tour this past weekend! You get 1 signature cocktail to start with (pre-mixed which is pretty cool) as well as 3 tiny tastings during the tour and a sit down 3 more tiny tastings at the end. The facility isn't huge by any means, but the story telling aspect of the history of the wigle whiskey origins certainly fills the time! read more

Bad service twice in a row... First time I went in and asked for a menu. The bartender pointed to the QRC code, I scanned it, and ordered something. He told me the kitchen is closed on Mondays. I said sorry, I was looking for a meal and a drink, so I'll go elsewhere. He sarcastically said good luck, presumably because many places aren't open on Mondays. Walked across the street and had a nice meal at the diner. Today I went back in and was greeted by a young bartender who didn't make eye contact. I felt like I was taking up his precious time. Two strikes, why bother for a third? read more

Amazing cocktails and super friendly services! We asked for recommendations and truly enjoyed the golden arrow and painter's delights. We also shared the flavored whiskey flight and got a bottle of honey whiskey. We love cocktails and have been to some of the best bars in the world - and the cocktails here were on par with drinks you will find at some of the speakeasies in Manhattan. Don't forget to check out the mini "museum" on the way to the restroom. read more

We found Wigle by checking reviews, and we really liked everything about this venue. At 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday the tables were full so we sat at the bar. The bartender and owner were very nice. We ordered drinks. The ladies liked the Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice drink with Wapsie bourbon, coffee liqueur and other good ingredients. The guys got a brown ale and IPA. We didn't wait long for food. Excellent were the chicken wings, Brussel sprouts and pirogies. The four of us shared a few bites with our drinks. We learned that you can order flights of bourbons, take a class, or tour the distillery on a Saturday. Check the website for activities. This distillery has won awards. It's worth your time to stop as it's one block from The Strip. read more

I was recently at Wigle for a candle making event. I ordered the Pickle-ijto and it was so nice and refreshing. We also ordered the "forget the meats, corn runs the streets" app, which is essentially corn hushpuppies. The space is fresh and clean and the staff were so sweet and accommodating. Wigle has a full distillery, along with a bar, seating area, and a section to shop their bottles. In addition, they also have an event space in the back of the building. read more
