Been to all the Aslin locations. This was a superb day drinking spot, slightly empty at 9 on a Friday. It's pretty bright lights inside. Beer is always good - love a volcano sauce sour. The bartender was super friendly and fast. Didn't try the food at this location. read more

Aslin is a Virginia-based brewery and I've had their beers several times at a variety of places. I was looking forward to them having a Pittsburgh location at The Terminal. Here's the thing, the beers are decent. But, the brewery falls flat. There no vibe, nothing exciting or fun. The service is kinda lowkey bad. I'm used to brewery life being a gathering of friends (even amongst strangers). It's all just kinda off. Plus, I mean if you don't want to wait on customers or treat them nicely, why work at a brewery? Honestly, this should be a two-star review. However for now, the beers are allowing for the three-stars. I *might* give them another chance next time I'm home for a visit. If I do, let's hope I'm back here updating my review for the better. read more

My fave brewery from a few I visited. The brewery was beautiful, light and breezy. The bartender was a very sweet person and friendly. I didn't eat here but if I come again I would def order food. I had one of their sours and came back another time to get it again. It seemed like a good place to work and I saw all kinds of people here. Moms, dates and great community. read more

I've visited Aslin twice in the past month. Both times, I've had good experiences. First off, this place is located in the strip terminal and it is pretty big! There is indoor and outdoor seating available. You can either order at the bar or use the QR code at each table to order by phone. On my first visit, I ordered a Bloody Mary and some hummus. The Bloody Mary was one of the better ones I've had, with lots of good flavor! The hummus was also really good. My only small complaint about the hummus was that it said it came with pita, but it was large slices of pizza crust. The second time o visited, I just had a hard cider. This is a great spot to meetup with friends or family. The staff was nice both times I was there. I like it here! read more

I want to follow up with a more recent review. I still had a great experience! Have been here several times now with the most recent being yesterday. I actually brought my laptop to do some work and there were several others also working. I ordered the astro zombie beer and the smash burger. All were excellent! There was some kind of company party going on in the upstairs area. Seems like a great venue for a company party. I will definitely be back. read more

Modern, super spacious brewery in the terminal. Order via a QR code. Quick delivery of goods. Cheese curds- tiny little scrumptious bites but the marinara could have been better (boring.) Wings- cooked well (as ordered.) The blue cheese... they poured it into the little container and drizzled blue cheese cru.bs on top. Bravo on that move! Seltzer was good. My husband said the beer was very good. Only problem... we went for the games for the kids. You know, parent balance. They don't issue quarters but hey there and app. Big problem: 4 people, all cell phones scanned the app Bayside and it said our phones were to new for the app?! So we stared at the games and the 4 year old just couldn't understand. BOO! (Also management said it was an outside vendor.) read more

We visited twice and really enjoyed it both times. The first time we just had beers which were really good when we attended trivia. The second time we came with my husband's family and we all enjoyed the expanded menu. I loved my hot dog and fries. The kids loved the cheese pizza. My husband loved his chicken sandwich. I enjoyed my cocktail. It's a nice place to hang with good food. read more

What's not to love? This wide open venue has free parking on weekday evenings, casual chess and speed puzzle events, and a large selection of half and full pour sours and IPAs! I've seen babies here on weekends, and there's a full menu that can be accessed via QR code at each table. I've only been for the speed puzzling, but I'd definitely check this place out again for food! read more

I got to explore Aslin Beer Company for the first time earlier this month, and it made a great first impression! Their space is large, colorful, and clean - it's so nice and inviting. There's a lower level, upper level, and outdoor seating area, i.e. there are plenty of seats to accommodate the Strip District's crowds. I personally was here for a nice chill reading event (on a Tuesday, i.e. a quieter night); but I can easily see this being a board game day spot for folks too, since there's so much room to gather and spread out. Plus there are arcade games and pinball machines here already. Basically, I got "cozy gathering vibes" from the place. Aslin also serves an extensive beer and food menu. I especially appreciate the wide range of beer options, because my sensitive stomach can only handle certain kinds of brews. I tried the Corvette Steve and really liked it; it's a sour beer that walks the line between too tart and too fruity (with hints of blackberry, strawberry, banana, and marshmallows and vanilla - very good for the fall!). But definitely don't sleep on the food options; this is some of the nicest "bar" food you'll find in the city. I just wanted some lite bites to go with my beer so I ordered their kale and butternut squash side plate; but after seeing the large pretzels and burgers arriving at other tables, I'll make sure I come hungry for my second visit! My first visit was a good one, and I absolutely plan to return to Aslin - I'm excited to explore more of their menu in the future. read more

Really good food options for a brewery spot! Their pizza is thin crust, crispy with some nice topping combination options. Brussels sprouts were also worth it, actually crispy with a nice sauce too. The only kinda miss was the fries, which weren't really crispy and were just okay, but would say the pizza is worth trying! read more

We came with a large group, food came out in a random order and took far too long. Would suggest looking around for other places for food.

Beer hall with ample seating. Lots of pinball machines and board games to pass the time with as well. Excellent selection of beer and food. Parking is out front on the main road or out back of the terminal. It's pretty hands off: you order they bring it out and that's it. You use a QR code to order. Excellent food: crab cakes were to die for read more

I am a regular at Aslin and absolutely love their IPAs! honestly their food is good too. I did want to write this review though because I had such a weird experience on a steelers sunday. It was the first game of the season and they only had 2 tvs in the entire place that were playing the steelers game. We asked if they could atleast turn the ones at the bar on to the steelers game and they said they couldn't bc they were "set to that." I then asked if someone else requested what was currently on and they said no. What kind of strip district bar doesn't put the steelers game on! let alone the first game of the season. and there was a pretty big group of steelers fans with us asking the same thing. I love Aslin, but definitely don't recommend it for a fun game day vibe... read more

Stumbled upon this bright, cheery beer, food and entertainment spot in the Strip district. There is a great beer selection. Food is available to order from a QR code on a table. There is seating on the ground level and some above. Arcade games and pinball machines make for a fun activity for adults and kids. Board games are available for use at any of their varieties of seating: booths, picnic tables, couches and chairs. All service was timely and really positive. read more

This place is massive, with tons of seating which was appreciated on a busy Saturday! You can order right at your table using the QR code, or you can head to the bar. Just a heads up though you can't order food at the bar, so I'd recommend grabbing a table right away and placing your whole order there. We ended up on two separate tabs after ordering beer at the bar and then pizza at the table. The pizza took a little while to come out, so just be prepared for a bit of a wait if you're ordering food. Overall, it's a really cool spot, plenty of fun arcade games, great seating for both small and large groups, and a family friendly vibe. Parking in the Strip District isn't ideal, so we took the bus to and from, which worked out perfectly. read more

A very open and airy brewery with lots of natural light making its way into the taproom, I have to say it was a nice change to the darker places I've been too over the years... Everything about this place was open and light-filled. I liked how that had some old arcade games and pinball to play with, added to the very young, hipster vibe the place gave off to me. It was another large and open area for seating, to go along with a decent sized bar. My son and I had their Volcano brew - the most delicious sour I have had to date. In fact, my son bought a 6er and I now regret not doing the same. The service was interesting - you ordered via phone and someone out the back brought you the drinks. I have done this before and haven't had much luck with it, but there were on top of it here - a welcomed experience. Other than that, I really didn't see or interact much with the staff (which I find to be part of the experience for me...) Truly enjoyed the visit, this is one my son and I agreed is worth a second trip, hopefully that will come in the new year... read more

Visited Aslin after doing some shopping in the Strip district. It was self-seating, and they had QR codes at all the indoor and outdoor tables where you would get the menu and place your order directly on the site. While that does make things efficient, I'd prefer to speak to a server when it comes to a beer company so I can get their recommendations and learn more about the different beers before ordering and so I can request a taste/sample before pulling the trigger on a full pour. For those reasons, I kept things simple with the Aslin lager which was easy to drink. We also ordered some bar snacks that were really good - the pretzel and the cheese curds. Was a cool spot to pop in for some casual drinks and snacks. read more

This is a beautiful spot in the terminal building, but it lacked character. While the QR code system for ordering at your table is convenient, the staff didn't interact with you at all. The beer I tried were all good, but I couldn't decipher what, if any, deals they actually had with happy hour. read more

Lights are a bit too bright making it feel like a cafeteria, great sours and ginger beer. Can get busy but lots of space. Could use more texture to reduce noise level read more

First, I know this is a brewery hall, but I didn't have the beer... this time. Instead, I stopped in because I saw they also had a coffee bar, and as I've said in past reviews, the Pittsburgh Independent coffee scene is chef's kiss. So I had to try it. My friends. MY FRIENDS. Go get the coffee. First off, the espresso is pretty solid. I would have liked it to be pulled a touch longer, but the barista politely explained why that would be a problem for the bar, and I absolutely was fine with it. Still a good solid espresso shot, certainly no complaints here. But here's where I really got excited: all their syrups are house made. I love me some Torino, but house made gets my attention every single day of the week and twice on Sunday. I took a spin on their specialty Café Miél, which the sign pitched as tasting like Honey Nut Cheerios. MY FRIENDS. It did not disappoint. I'm not a huge honey person, but the honey and cinnamon complimented each other nicely, yet neither overpowered the other, as both those flavors can do if unchecked. Exceptional drink. I will definitely be going back. House made mocha and maple are both on their menu and I need to have it. read more

We stopped by Aslin for their Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday. There was a band playing on one end of the room and it was so loud that we immediately went and got a table on the other side of the room. The inside is pretty big so good for groups and you can order everything in terms of food and drinks via QR code to be delivered to your table. There's a large front area near the coffee counter, a large area next to the bar on the ground floor with gaming machines, and an upstairs area as well. Our beignets were good and the coffee ice cream that came with it even better. The shrimp po'boy was decent but nothing to write home about. The brunch burger was delicious and I enjoyed my King Baby draft although everyone else found it too heavy. read more

Great big space perfect for large, rowdy groups. For sitting at the bar and chatting, well, this isn't really the best space for that sort of them. All of the beers I had were solid, but I wasn't able to find anything very new or interesting. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area. read more

Well...another visit recently and not much better. Except this time there was one server (male, young-ish) who was truly good and very responsive. Our group which consisted of about 18-20 people went here after a holiday party nearby. We were probably there for several hours and collectively we spent close to $1k. We would have stayed longer but boy the service really went from decent to terrible after the supposed manager started taking over. Maybe they were short staffed but again we were disappointed with the (lack of) service. read more

Aslin is perfect for large parties and smaller ones alike. They are conveniently located in the strip district in the newly remodeled terminal. Their location is super large with outdoor, indoor and an upstairs location. We stopped in one afternoon to grab a beer and ended up back at least two additional times during our trip. My husband had the "Full Basic." It's a darker larger but very smooth with a clean finish. He tried the "Old town lager" and hated it. It was to floral on his pallet. They do not do flights (which is the one downfall in my mind) but they do half pours. I tried the "Radler" and it was crisp but very citrus forward and not what I was looking for. I tried the Arctic Sauce, Daddy Juice and Cash Only. All of them were not good on my pallet. I did really enjoy the "Volcano sauce" though. Their seltzer, Blue Ice, wasn't bad. A little sweet. My absolute favorite was the "Bat Dance." It's a sweet stout and has great flavor! We did eat there one night and had the fried Brussel sprouts (loved them!), the chicken wings (old bay dry rub), and the Turkey Chive. All of the food was delicious. Parking can be a challenge but there is plenty of paid street parking in front and behind the terminal. read more

Beer is on par with some of the best beer - it's super fresh. Got the burger and it was decent, had some gristle in it and some hard chunks. Maybe I was just unlucky. Got the side salad, actually paid $1.50 more. It's super tiny. I can eat it with one stab of the fork. What the ? Oh well. Place is clean, it's whatever. I'd come back for beer. read more

Kinda cool brewery with uncool servers. The day we went I had been wanting to try this place since it opened, but I hadn't had a chance to stop by as of yet. This is one of the only breweries in the city I had yet to frequent. We walked in and I was like wow what a cool place. Very open and spacious, but way too much lighting. We walked up to the bar and sat down to order some drinks but the server was kinda b*tchy. She also informed me that they don't accept cash, what!? Needless to say she had a tip jar on the counter which I thought was funny. The whole QR code ordering thing is a joke too. Come on! Are you that lazy that we now have to place our own orders too? Smh! I kinda like this place, but the service was not great and what is the point of coming to have beers and food if we have to do all the work!? Why not just get robots and have them serve us through a kegerator!? I did enjoy my beers, but the whole reason I love breweries is due to the good vibes and helpful and friendly servers. Not ones that are mad that they have to get off their phones and take out orders. I'll give them another chance but hopefully the next time I have a better experience. Also, accept cash and stop it with this whole QR code crap. read more

Aslin is a Northern Virginia-based brewery and I've visited their other DC-area taprooms in the past. I was surprised to see a taproom open in the Strip District of Pittsburgh on a recent visit, so I felt like I had to stop inside. Plus it was a super hot day, so the a/c was refreshing! The venue itself is gorgeous and very well done. The menu is expansive and they have several draft options in addition to other wines and cocktails. They have a food menu also that sounded lovely, but I wasn't hungry at the time, so I skipped eating anything. The sour beer I had was delightful. They had a fire alarm go off in the building during our visit, and they handled it nicely and had us back inside in no time. All in all, I was impressed with my visit to Pittsburgh's Aslin location. read more

I didn't have a great food experience on my last visit. I decided to venture outside my usual picks (cauliflower bites and impossible jr with fries), which I regret in retrospect. My +1 got a veggie dog, which was a sad little puppy lost in a huge, dry bun. Poor thing. I ordered the Spring Cavatelli without the parmesan and had to put salt and pepper on it to compensate for the lack of flavor. I ended up just eating the vegetables because the pasta was chewy and tasteless. I'll go back to my favorites, next time! read more

This is a great spot for a large group with people who like beer. We were here for trivia on a Thursday and it was fun! The beer was decent and they also had non beer options like margaritas. The margs were good! I had the Jarritos margarita and it was a little too sweet for me. Beer was pretty decent too. It was pretty busy because of trivia but it took a long time to get our drinks and food. Service was really really slow. My party got a bit hangry waiting for it and wish we could just grab food from Shake Shack across the way. The food was just okay despite the wait. read more

We ordered everything through the bar inside. I don't remember the bartenders name but she was very friendly, and super helpful in selecting both drinks and food. Chipotle chicken wrap 9/10 Super fresh wrap, and a pretty good size too. The Chipotle chicken was shredded, with the consistency similar to a chicken salad. It had a good bit of heat to it, like a medium I'd say. The avocado added some coolness to the bite, and the bacon flavor came through so well. Lot of arugula too, but it was perfect. A refreshing lunch and super shareable. Fries were waffle fries. Love the crisp and crunch on the outside. Beer reviews can be found on Untappd. read more

My wife bought some takeout pepperoni pizza from Aslin Beer Company. I'm not sure why she did this as their is a pizza shop across the street and Aslin specializes in beer. Anywho, upon tasting the pizza, she did not like it and would not eat it. I took a bite and while I would never really refuse to eat anything, I didn't particularly like the pizza. Mom son, however, enjoyed his large chicken sandwich and fries. Next time we're in town, maybe we'll try some beer. read more

Love the Aslin!! This might be one of my all-time favorite breweries - they have such a great variety of beers and I've loved every single one I've tried. Their sours in particular are definitely some of the best sours I've ever had - you must try their Lunar Sauce! The food is also good, especially their pizza. Plus, it's huge so even though it's a popular spot you should be able to find seating which is nice. Overall, I definitely recommend checking it out if you're at all into beer! read more

A smash burger hits different. Izzi from Aslin does it right. Super juicy, salty, tender smash burger, layered with cheese, with a side of my favorite kind of waffle fries (those beer battered ones ) This specific burger was a little heavy on the saltiness but it was still quite delicious. Washed it down with Aslin Volcano Sauce Sour and my day was set. Super #GOUDapproved and such a fun place to hang out with friends. Aaaaaaand they have board & card games so even more bonus points there. PS yes I always stack fries onto my burgers. Do you?

The beer and food here are really good. I ordered a Worried Imperial Stout, and it was richly flavored. The Nashville Chicken Sandwich had lots of spice, and the fries were excellent.

The ambiance is very cool and sophisticated. read more

Over a year now after Aslin opened in Pittsburgh and it continues to be a spot we frequent. Maybe not as often as we did when they first opened... but to be fair they kept tapping new Pappy barrel aged stout and we couldn't resist. I will say I prefer to avoid this place during high traffic hours. It just gets so loud in there and on a recent visit I was wishing I had ear plugs. Though I will admit that I don't like if any place is too crowded or loud and then add in how bright it is. Typically we try to stop in during the week or actually several times on a Sunday evening. It's usually Friday and Saturday when it gets crazy. Also I think friendliness of service can be kind of hit and miss whereas when they first opened I felt the service was great and everyone was very welcoming. This location definitely seemed to struggle with the food aspect since opening. They have had a few different menus and then were bring your own food for a while. Now they have reopened the kitchen under Izzi and mainly serve pizza with some sandwiches and appetizers. What I have seen looks pretty good so maybe we will try it sometime. What keeps us coming back is the beers. We have friends who really enjoy their IPAs. I have had several sours now I really enjoy. The best though is when they do a barrel aged release. However, I will say that their September release was a major disappointment. The one that was draft only was quite tasty and we enjoyed it. However, all of the bottles were a let down. I'm not sure if this was just an off release as we typically enjoy these beers. We had two bottles that were cloudy and had sediment and just tasted off. They just recently released some more barrel aged. Broadlands, a barleywine, was actually amazing on draft and we were disappointed when we stopped in for more and it had kicked. Luckily we had picked up bottles. Instead we had Virginia Beach on draft, a coconut stout we had a previous batch of. It was rich and flavorful. Overall coming to Aslin is typically an enjoyable experience with some tasty beers and we will continue to visit. read more
