    Beyond the Realm of Man, IPA. This IPA was dry hopped with choice Citra and Simcoe.
    Jen B.

    I've always loved this spot for excellent microbrews. Their hazy game is on point. Recently they added some TVs for classic video game nights and game days. The new seating is super comfortable and great for larger groups. In the summer they have outdoor seating at picnic tables and frequently have food trucks. The beertenders are friendly and welcoming.

    Blue Sparrow and Coven... a perfect match.

    Now that it's been open a while and I have been back more than just a few times I figured it's due for an updated review. Coven has become a frequent occurrence for us on Wednesday evenings. It isn't overly crowded (good because I still don't love the seating options), Blue Sparrow is there, and often there is a new beer release to enjoy. Service is always fast and friendly. They have a tap list on the smaller side but still manage to have some variety. They do offer 5 ounce pours now, which is a nice option to have. Coven has been putting out some fantastic beers. They did a Baha Blahst sour which sounds (and looks) a bit crazy but was so delicious. We enjoyed it on draft and came back for more (and cans which hadn't released yet). Their strawberry pretzel salad sour is fantastic. There is so much strawberry flavor bursting out of this beer that even just the smell is amazing. You actually can taste the little salt kick which is nice because too often you can't. This is a beer I will always come back for. They also have done a series of Priority Mail stouts. Unfortunately we missed the two other variants they did in Black Friday. However, we have enjoyed the original coconut one several times now on draft and brought bottles home and even shared with friends. We had to try it seeing as my fiancé is a mail carrier, plus we love big, flavorful stouts. Please continue to make more of this series. Just a warning... the bathroom is fairly dark. Also the air freshener or incense or whatever they are using is pretty strong. I try to avoid needing to use it when I'm there as strong fragrances can give me issues and I know there are other people who also have a problem with this. I think Coven has been a great addition to the Pittsburgh brewery scene. I look forward to many future visits and getting to try more delicious beers.

    stumbled onto Coven after discovering our original recommended brewery destination nearby lacked IPA variety- & so glad we ended up here- while they had a smaller tap list, they still had a decent variety friendly & welcoming service the bartender spent some time allowing samples & chatting about their beer style, production, and preferences; it was a great learning experience about not only Coven but also beer in the Pittsburg area all their IPAs had such unique robust flavor, it was hard to just pick one (I wish we were able to take beer to-go- delicious taste & reasonable prices-) the brewery was comfy cozy, I can see where the limited seating could be a bummer, but we lucked out to have an intimate experience, enjoying the swanky vibe of the decor, music, big open window with nice park view, & tall stemmed glasses- they did a great job with the space they had, creating a nice hangout we had Slanguage, Super Crush, Prairie Schooner; I rated all 4/5stars for nice creamy haze, citra hops, with their own dank profiles

    Probably one of my least favorite breweries in the Pittsburgh area. The bartender wasn't very friendly or outgoing at all and the seating is horrible. It is super small with only a few tables, a couple of bar stools and a tiny booth/table where the bar is. The beer is mediocre at best and the only true pluses about this place is the fact that it's in Lawrenceville and the food truck outside has one of the best tacos in Pittsburgh, Tasty Taquitos. Which seems to be why most of the people were there on the night we visited.

    I stopped by Coven Brewing a couple of Thursdays ago with some former coworkers. I hadn't been to this space since its last brewery and the inside looked much like I remembered. Somewhat small with a room/Tv and then a bar area with a single table. They also had some outdoor seating but it was too cold to take advantage of that. Between a running club, our small group of 3 and another group, it was standing room only. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I tried to go with a flight here. However they don't have a traditional flight and instead you can order 5 oz beers. As such I decided to go with 3 - 5 oz beers and chose the conceptual contrast, OHKO Vic secret and Ocular Experience. My first beer here, the conceptual contrast west coast IPA was decent enough. It started off smooth before a lot of hops came through on the finish. I didn't get any citrus or pineyness that I would have expected but it was still a decent beer. Up second for me was the ocular contrast which was a triple IPA. It started off with some fruitiness before finishing as a sugar bomb. Honestly it was probably the sweetest beer I have had in a long time and was not something that I enjoyed. Last but certainly not least was the OHKO which was a Hazy Pale Ale. This beer was weird to me as it just tasted like a super watered down Pale Ale. There was a little hops and not much flavor. I was also able to taste one of my friends oat pale ale and the others stout and neither was that good. As a matter of a fact, they both left over half of the full pours by the time we left. The bottom line for me is that I would not head back here again in the future. While I wanted to like it, I wouldn't consider any of the beers that I had here to be good and only one of the five would I even give another chance to.

    Wonderful beer, lots of outdoor seating. Their menu could be improved by adding some dark beers. I like sitting at the window seats. When combined with the Blue Sparrow food truck, it's an unforgettable evening.

    Good attentive service. Let us sample before choosing our glass. No food available but outside food allowed as we noticed a regular bring a pizza box in with them. Ambiance is on the quiet side so relaxing.

    As much as I loved Roundabout, I can say Coven blows away what they were. Pours are excellent and the new layout makes the space so much bigger. The decor is amazing: I'm in love with the concrete bar top.

    This was my first time visiting this brewery since Roundabout had closed down. I stopped here and as soon as I approached the bar they asked what I wanted. I asked about flights, and he said he could provide me samples. As I looked around I noticed a New England IPA and decided to go with that. I sat down and took that first drink. WOW! so damn good. It's maybe the best Hazy IPA I've tasted in a very long time. This was good. The place looks remodeled from where it was Roundabout. It does have a small dining area that allows seating. Table against the window with stools. I'd say more places to sit at that previously. They also have picnic tables outside that allows more people to sit and relax and enjoy a beer. I want to come back and get a Hazy IPA again and fill up a growler if I can. They did have it canned but sold out, so I can see why. This is a nice place and I recommend checking them out.

    No Skits & taps

    We stopped on our brewery crawl and grabbed a few beers (or boilermakers for some). Their outdoor space is dog friendly, but they could definitely expand their seating. There were three picnic tables with umbrellas (thankfully because it was HOT) but a few people didn't stay because there wasn't more outdoor space to sit. I had the No Skits grapefruit brew and loved it!

    I would describe Coven as an elevated brewery experience. It's got a chic and sophisticated vibe inside from the styling of the taproom to the elegant stemmed glasses the beer is served in. I most recently tried the No Skits Grisette, which is a delightfully light and smooth beer for the summer. The notes of hibiscus are chefs kiss. Though the taproom is fairly small, they've done a great job of utilizing the space. There are small loungey corners for small groups of friends, tables for twos, and a long window of bar seating that's great for people and dog watching. Outside you'll find larger tables good for a group hangout. Looking forward to repeat visits at this lovely space.

    The guy behind the bar was cool, but the beers were not my type, and worst of all the place smells like cat piss.

    It isn't overly crowded (good because I still don't love the seating options), Blue Sparrow is there, and often there is a new beer release to enjoy.

That Mother Nature is a smart lady!!!

Not super busy & staff was very friendly & attentive. We always enjoy the beers! Our party of 3 took advantage of the Happy hour draft pitchers & had the Archive: Amber Lager - they define it as Classic American amber lager brewed with pilsner, Munich, and crystal malts and hopped gently with Chinook and Willamette. Crisp and a touch toasty. I describe it as awesome I only took one picture tonight of my Pizza!!! Wow!! Full of flavor & cooked perfectly. The Lamb Sausage & Peppers pizza featuring housemade lamb sausage, roasted red peppers, confit tomato, ricotta and burrata cheese, hot honey, and basil. It was amazing. We also shared some of the house made chips & onion dip & wings. Then the rest of our party had the smash burgers. A fun relaxing night!! Definitely will continue to go to Cinderlands warehouse.

My girl friends and I came after four years of me wanting to come here. I love Gravel Grinder and live close to an OTB so heard of Dancing Gnome from that. Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.
