The Park Ranger told me this is the number one rented pavilion in the Pittsburgh City Parks. It was…read morebeautifully restored about 9 years ago, and wow what a nice job they did. They updated the Chapel with modern kitchen amenities, yet they reviewed historical photos to keep an authentic that is quite remarkable. For it's affordability, location, and charm, this is a popular venue for weddings and gradation parties. There's a lot of history here, when the Presbyterian Church on Perrysviille Ave was rebuilt 114 years ago, they moved the chapel into the park. The structure had deteriorated over the years, however the Parks Conservancy invested 1.2 million in a stunning restoration. The City has modernized their reservation policy in recent years, so it's possible to book this shelter online now. But read the procedure, this is a very popular venue. It seats 40 comfortably inside, but if the weather is nice, up to 300 people can spill outside into the beautifully landscaped garden area.

Super versatile with lots and lots of potential for personalization. Multiple different areas with a variety of character. Gracie and her team were extremely helpful from the moment i first looked at the space to the day after the event. They have seasonal decorations that add to the beauty of the space. They are extremely flexible and worked with us to get the tables/decor/food setup. I cannot think of a better space for private events from birthdays to weddings. Highly recommended.

HIP at the Flashlight Factory may claim their "clients are not just another number," but their…read moreactions certainly prove that their clients are nothing more than dollar signs to them. Long story short, HIP notified my BFF via email only one week before her wedding that, to comply with the fire marshal's mandate, their venue would no longer be able to accommodate her wedding. Fortunately, the bride and bridal party were able to miraculously find another amazingly accommodating venue that same day, but HIP's handling of the issue was nothing less than classless. What was already a stressful situation was exacerbated by HIP's incompetent and unsympathetic actions, including (but not limited to): - delayed communication of the venue's inability to host the wedding - being unresponsive to requests to finalize details of the venue transition (yet still having time to post videos to social media about the situation) - trying to charge ridiculous prices for minimal venue involvement ($2,500 just to use the venue as a hotel and to take pictures there), - and claiming the rented tables were damaged when they were returned (even though they were already damaged when provided in the first place) just to be able to keep the $500 deposit We're so thrilled that the wedding turned out well despite the frustration of having to deal with HIP, but their behavior and attitude were completely unprofessional and, quite frankly, rude. If you're looking to have your big day at their venue, I'd recommend thinking twice. Give your business to people that truly have your best interests -- and not just your money -- in mind.

Don't let the name throw you (I thought it sounded like the name of a really bad dive bar)…read more.. This is a lovely venue for events such as weddings, showers, dinner/holiday parties and similar events. Located on Banksville Road it's easy to get there by car, bus, trolley, etc. They have an area called Backstage at The Boiler Room which is home to live music performances. The lobby is lovely and elegant. Heated four seasons porch, courtyard with fire pits, fountains and more. Food is standard fare for banquet hall facility. Though standard fare everything is served cooked to perfection. Meats are juicy and tender, pasta not over cooked, sauces flavorful and not dried out.

Wanted to share an incident that happened to us recently. We attended an event at The Boiler Room,…read morePittsburgh in the last week of May. Boiler room management provided the host with a room and key for keeping our valuables. Few of the ladies who were at the party kept their handbags in this room and locked. After the party is over, we went to pick the bags and noticed that someone opened the lock and robbed the handbags. There were a total of 5 ladies handbags and one of the guy's wallet were stolen. There was also a suit case missing which makes us think that the robber kept all these handbags in the suit case and left. Their office manager was feeling really bad at the time of incident. He looked into the cc tv footage next day and saw a person walking away with the suitcase. We were informed that they have liability insurance and not to worry. Later, the insurance company informed us that Boiler room's insurance policy doesn't cover theft. Just want others to be aware of this.

Went to this concert venue for the first time Saturday night to see Thievery Corporation, and what…read morea great night! Love this small venue. Parking wasn't bad - we found something across the steeet (on street parking). There's also a lot behind the place. I'm guessing this fills up, fast, but we got there fairly early. They opened the doors on time - at 7pm - and we weren't in line too long waiting for our ID check and wrist band (they could use more than *one* poor guy doing this, btw). I don't love this segregated/upcharge thing most venues seem to be doing nowadays, but at least the general admission SRO areas in this place have decent views. We grabbed a spot just behind the sound/lighting guys in the middle of the GA area. One note --- our friends who bought into the standing area right by the stage ended up joining us 1/2 way through, because they said the audio was blasting them. The place is nicely restored; has a good bar area with a better drink selection than many places we've tried in Pittsburgh. Hubs & I each got a hazy IPA, and he also got a big pretzel (which was ok - a bit too doughy for my taste). WOWZER those 3 things were expensive: **$43**!!! We decided to consider it a donation, so places like this can stay open, but oooffff. $$$$$$$$ Sound, lights were great. Staff were friendly. We'll definite be back.

During the party family and friends kept coming up to me and raving about their favorite food on the buffet table. (I know hearing this will be as gratifying to Lisa as it was to me that day!!) Not enough good stuff can be said about the entire cast of helpers who cooked, set up and served (Lisa, Mike, Karen, Brian and Anthony.) Thanks to each of you for creating the enticing blend of buffet dishes, the warm & inviting, festive & relaxed environment, as well as the gracious & kind care of all, from the 2 to the 80 year olds. The important point of the event for us was to find a venue that made everything flow with comfort and ease In preparing to honor several family members turning 80 in 2026. Keeping a focus on lots of good food choices meant the most! All these factors mattered, as a way to bring family together while minimizing a couple stress fractures within the family. With Lisa's extraordinary culinary gifts, her organizational skills and kind humanity, it happened. Hey, the value for the dollars spent was wonderful as well! Thanks folks!!!

We went for High Tea so we did not have a catered event. The whole experience was just horrible!…read moreI'm sorry, but it just was. Very disappointing. The tea? Well, they had very cute tea cups and tea pots but the tea pots were just filled either hot water either the idea being you could choose which tea bag, yes tea bag, you wanted to have in your cup. So your cute little cup is at your place with a tea bag steeping in it. What is that???! Not a British High Tea experience. Super disappointing.
