    Seating
    Victoria G.

    I met a group for an early evening happy hour. We lucked out with blues skies on a warm summer day. We could see the downtown skyline from a distance while seated outside. I ordered cider from the bar and then went to the kitchen to order a burger and fries. The orders arrived relatively quick. I was told to time a few minutes and come back to the kitchen to pick up my food. Burgers and fries are the best. If you have not been, I recommend getting what you want and find a seat outside. The vibe is very casual.

    Pretzels

    Pretzels were fried so a little crunchy but delicious. Chicken wraps were yummy! Charcuterie tray was good. Had a lot of meat. Adequate portions.

    First visit to this Grist House. The parking is funky here. We followed the signs up to the building and found ourselves in a traffic jam of cars cruising the area for the very limited parking spots. We then saw a shuttle bus come up and drop folks off, so we followed it and found that there is a lower lot after the entrance (at least from the way we came). We were able to easily park there and hop in the bus when it returned. Upstairs the space is huge, but our group of 6 found a table to sit at. The place can get loud and there were a lot of people that brought their small children. The views from outside were great and the air is impressive. I liked that they actually serve food here. We weren't sure what to expect portion wise from the burger, we found it to be slider sized but very thick. We each ordered a burger and split fries. The burgers were small but filling. The fries were good. They had a decent tap list, but the line to be served was very long when we were there. It's an interesting venue and worth a visit.

    What a great spot to spend a beautiful day! This place offers different atmospheres to enjoy, whether you want to sit inside or take advantage of the outdoor area, bring your dog, when the weather is nice. Today was gorgeous for early March, so the outdoor section was open and it made the experience even better. The beer list is incredible, with a wide variety of styles to explore. I highly recommend the tasting option, which includes 5-ounce pours of up to five different varietals--a great way to sample the range and find your favorite. I enjoyed the house lager and the fruitful sours. Lindsay was our server and she was courteous. Her recommendations for the tasting made it easier to navigate such a great selection. The food menu leans more toward casual fare like hot dogs, hamburgers, and salads rather than elaborate dishes. I ordered a hot dog and fries. It was simple but tasty, and the order was ready in about 15 minutes, which felt reasonable given how busy it was. Inside, classic rock was playing, adding to the relaxed brewery atmosphere. The outdoor view will likely get even better as more greenery grows in around the space. Overall, it's a great place to relax, explore a strong beer list, and enjoy friendly service. I'm glad Pittsburgh has this new brewery and I hope they will show the World Cup Games in June!

    "I command you to happy hour," I say, not-so-subtly hinting at the location to my sister. Grist Command is a huge space with expansive views, can see some of the downtown buildings when it's clear. Love the three decks, multiple bars. Excellent service typically, everyone is friendly and prompt. Food is good, little bit expensive, but hot and lots of variety of sauces. Really the only bad thing is the parking, they have a lot but if it's full you have to shuttle.

    We stopped by on Saturday at 3pm for our friend's birthday. Parking can be a little confusing with multiple lots but luckily we caught someone as they were leaving and we were able to be fairly close to the front door. The inside is pretty big and has a big indoor area and a big outdoor area. You can get beer up at the counter. It was absolutely packed and I was very glad we had a private room. I only had one draft but it was pretty good! I would come back!

    Food was good. Burger and large pretzel yum. Service is pretty good. Place looks cool but also strange. There's 3 floors. Also weird military building but cool. ALSO: there's supposed to be lots of kids here but there's like 4. Were mid summer break too, by the way.

    Cool looking Radar Dome

    I love the original Grist in Millvalle, so I was excited to visit their new location at the former Nike missle base in Oakdale. The beer selection was impressive. They kept some signs from the Nike missile site, which is very cool. Besides the main floor, there are 2 rooftop places to sit outside. The food is very good. Although the text message said my food would be ready in 20 minutes, it was closer to 5 minutes. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. It was hard to find a parking spot and a table. It was also difficult to hear any conversation at our table. Staff were very attentive.

    Beautiful view, epic patios

    We were really impressed when we first walked in, but we left disappointed by the way we were treated by one of the employees. We chose this spot specifically because it presents itself as family friendly, and, before visiting, we reviewed the house rules listed on the website. We had three adults supervising one two-year-old at all times, she stayed with us in a high chair at the table. There was no running, climbing, or unsafe behavior. At one point, while we were playing peek-a-boo with her, she loudly squealed happily for less than a minute intermittently. A young female employee approached our table and told us--while I was literally mid-sentence correcting her to use her inside voice--we would need to move to the patio "if she continue[d] because of the noise." The interaction felt especially unnecessary given that earlier, when she cried while we were waiting for food, no one said anything. What made the interaction feel worse was that it occurred very soon after the only adult male in our group had left for a sales appointment. The timing and tone of the interaction made us feel singled out and uncomfortable. We didn't stay much longer and didn't purchase anything further. I completely understand that businesses need to maintain a comfortable environment for all guests, and if there are expectations around children needing to remain nearly silent indoors, that may be worth just considering an adults-only atmosphere. However, happy toddler noises for a brief moment in a loud and crowded brewery marketed as family friendly did not seem unreasonable to us. We live just minutes away and had been excited to become regular customers when we first arrived and were very impressed by our drinks and the atmosphere. The tail end of our experience was especially disappointing and we left with a subpar impression. I'm sharing this feedback because the interaction genuinely made us feel unwelcome, despite being attentive, respectful patrons who were following the posted rules. We considered bringing our pup for the patio, but we were unsure if he would bark, so we decided not to bring him as well. I also wanted to mention that we noticed responses to Google reviews often encourage customers to reach out directly by email with concerns, so we felt this was the most polite and constructive way to provide feedback rather than leaving a public review first. It's been two weeks since the email I sent, to the brewery and I've heard nothing back. We also would like to mention that there are no vegetarian options on the menu beyond salad, hot pretzels, and French fries, despite there being many brands of offering vegetarian hot dogs and burgers.

    Grist House's new spot!
    Jen B.

    This new spot is amazing-exactly what the South Hills needed. The inside is beautiful with tons of seating, multiple bars, and future event spaces. They had burgers, hot dogs, fries, salads, and pretzels at the snack bar. They had a TON of sauces to pick from. The beer cheese for the pretzel had a little kick and was delicious. The pretzel was a deep fried pretzel and was delicious. They have THREE levels of deck with STUNNING views. You can see all the way to downtown. This spot is dog friendly on the patio and family friendly. There is a nice parking lot out front and extra parking down the hill where they will have a shuttle. Beer and service were great as always. 10/10 recommend.

    Grist House Command is a great addition to the area! They've only been open a couple months, and we've gone back numerous times, which speaks to the atmosphere, service, and vibes! We love that the space is huge (both indoors and outdoors), there's plenty of seating, and it's very family-friendly. They have a good mix of beers (and NA mocktails) for all tastes: IPAs, lagers, and sours. Their menu isn't anything fancy, but it includes hot dogs, burgers, and fries, and all of the dipping sauces. Whether you're looking for a night out or a place to watch some football, Grist House Command is the perfect spot!

    This place is amazing!! Great views and service! Don't go here thinking you can get a Budweiser, they only sell THEIR brews! My husband tried a few different ones and said they were all great!! There is a snake bar here! Simple items( fries, hotdogs, sliders) no table service you order in line or on your phone! They have a lot of cool merch also! 3 levels of seating and wonderful views!!

    This building is just incredible on its own - from gorgeous views of a far away downtown Pittsburgh to the three, YES THREE, decks outside and the large indoor space, this place was PACKED and it still was an incredible time. Parking lot is not large, so they do have a shuttle service that runs from a lot below the hill. Multiple places to order Beers so the lines never took too long. Food seem to be a scan to order from an app, or you can order at the food window and then pick up when ready. We particularly didn't eat, but the food we saw looked amazing. Vibes are 10/10, beer is always great from Grist House, and this location just tops them all! Can't wait to come back!

    They have all the same delicious beers on tap as the Millvale location, along with a few new ones that released that day.

    A Hidden Gem in Washington, PA!…read more The Washington Brewing Company is the real deal! You can absolutely taste the love in every beer--they clearly take pride in their craft. Each brew we tried was smooth, flavorful, and uniquely their own. We shared a few appetizers and every bite was fantastic, but the fried zucchini sticks were the standout--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Definitely a must-try! Their happy hour is a great deal, and the atmosphere is just what you'd want in a local brewery: relaxed, welcoming, and fun. The location is spot-on--easy to get to, with plenty of space inside and out. To top it all off, the staff have been incredible--knowledgeable about the beers, super friendly, and genuinely fun to talk to. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time. We'll definitely be back. Cheers to great beer and even better people!

I have been to Washington more times than I can county yet I hadn't been here yet for some odd reason but we decided to change that on the way to the airport. Before arriving me and my gf were rather hungry so we were looking on Yelp for a place to eat before deciding to stop in here for a quick bite and a cold beer on a smoking hot day. Upon arrival it seemed like a cool place and had plenty of parking behind the business. Although once we entered the business the atmosphere seemed kind of off and unappealing. Everyone looked pissed off or unfriendly. The servers weren't much better if I am being honest, which I always am when leaving reviews. We sat at the bar for a few minutes before I had to ask a girl who was too busy chatting away with another girl for a menu and water. We needed someone to cool us off immediately due to it being extremely hot outside. TBH: nothing is more of a put off than entering a business you are about to spend money in and seeing the wait staff on their phones ignoring the people who are there to help them make money cause God forbid you don't tip someone 20% who are on Instagram 85% of the time you are there and instead of asking if you need anything else while you are constantly saying, can I have another this or that. SMH! The wait staff here seemed all over the place and it wasn't even busy when we stopped in. I guarantee every single person who was working was behind the bar at some point and we either had to ask for more water, more sour cream, more whatever; that's annoying! We started off by ordering a flight of beer and that seemed like a whole job in itself to the waitress. Then we decided to go with the nachos. Which I must say took way too long to arrive considering there was only 8-10 people max while we were there and easily 5-6 waiters and 2-3 bartenders. The beer was good and the nachos were pretty decent as well. Neither was anything to write home about but they did their job. Another thing I did notice about this place is it seemed grimmy and more of a bar than an actual brewery. Most of the time when a brewery needs to serve liquor it just doesn't have great beer or great brewery vibes that us brewery lovers go for and we rarely return, sadly. There was nothing welcoming about this place and with the food being just decent and the wait staff not being of the greatest in the personality and service categories I'd say there is a 99% chance we won't return or recommend this place to any of our friends or colleagues. Thanks and good luck :)

Our server was Dustin (or Justin, we weren't sure) who was terrific (ask for him to wait on you, if you can!) I had the Italian Panini which was so yummy! Also the side dish of loaded mashed potatoes with gravy ..... They were just okay. It was quite a cold night, so 3 of us had nice hot cups of tea served in these quaint handmade mugs! And I had a glass of homemade root beer ..... ya can't go wrong! The prices are reasonable: my tea, root beer, and Italian Panini were $25. I think very moderate. Reservations are highly recommended. You can make one online for a party of up to 6. Larger groups must be reserved over the phone. Highly recommend and I would give it more than five stars if I could!

We enjoyed our Cajun chicken pasta (4.5/5) and the buffalo chicken sandwich (4.5/5). The Backpack Stash IPA was really good and this is coming from someone who doesn't drink much beer. The walls had a lot of cool historical vintage photos and antique items. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We had really good friendly service (5/5). We recommend this restaurant! Happy Yelping :)

    After a day of exploring at Ohiopyle me and my friend who are craft beer and brewery enthusiasts…read morewere excited to stop by here and have some beers afterwards. We initially were stopped in our tracks by the doors being locked and the business being closed which was a surprise to us because I had read on Yelp the hours were 4-10ish but we'd later find out that was more like 4ish to 10ish. Haha! We were bummed and as we were walking back to the Jeep to head somewhere else, I sparked up a conversation with a couple gentlemen from the area who were in the parking lot. They were waiting to go inside as well and assured us that the owner would be there soon. So we chatted about beers and breweries and then boom, the owner pulled in. We found out that she had to pick up an order she had placed at Sam's Club and while doing that a girl had called off, so totally understandable. We all helped her unload the stuff she bought for the bar and then she served us an ice cold Halleck Pale Ale in frosted mugs from Chestnut Brew Works, which sadly enough I'd never had until then, Wow was it was tasty! Thanks Shorty for the recommendation. It's now on my favorite list. After chatting it up with the locals we happened to find out to our surprise that a guy we grew up with now lived in the area and made friends with the locals since they were all super good musicians. So they called him up and he came down and had a beer with us before we had to head out. They played us their new music on the jukebox and it was very good and we also met a local guy who had just been inducted into the WV Music Hall Of Fame. Damn, these are the days I live for! Listen, this place is 100% awesome! The owner Laura is amazing, the locals are kind and friendly, the beer is super cold and mostly local but some of your other favorites too, she makes her own wine and it's on tap, the food looks good, she supports locals businesses as well by purchasing their stuff for resale, it's roomy and they have a pool table. It's a super cool place and I can't wait to go back and hang out again and grab a pizza from the pizzeria next door. Sláinte!
