    This really can be a great space. An old historic building given new life and bringing people into the community. This space houses two (soon to be three) breweries and has a kitchen. There is an outdoor ground level patio and bars in the nice weather but that is all currently closed. There is also a rooftop space which I have been to before and it's great. It's nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views while having a nice drink, though it can get crowded. Inside there is plenty of seating. You can grab a stool at the bar by Abstract Realm. There are large tables. TVs around. Plenty of room to gather. I personally have not tried the food but it's nice that there is a kitchen there to grab some food. As far as the beer I think it will be helped when the third brewery opens just to give some more variety and options which is needed. There is a parking lot but it is small and can fill quickly which may leave you looking for nearby street parking. Overall I think this can be a great stop. It's nice to have a few different breweries where people can each find something to their liking while you are able to gather and socialize.

    Hazelwood Brew House is a hidden gem in the Hazelwood neighborhood. This multi-level brewery has a little bit of everything. There are two different breweries and food options here. It is a very welcoming business open to anyone. We recognized the LGBT welcoming environment with their past Pride events and t-shirts at the New France Brewing, which we bought. It is a very chill spot for a Sunday drink. Music was playing, but not super loud. They have board games for people to play. There's an outdoor seating option on the ground floor and tables on 2 different levels inside. The hot spot though is the amazing rooftop. You can see all the way down to the Birmingham Bridge. We loved everything about this place.

    A unique and historic building with amazing views of the pittsburgh skyline. I was excited to visit with friends and enjoy the rooftop ambiance. I ordered wings and falafel which I brought to the table hot out of the kitchen. I was excited to get our food so quickly and share with others. I enjoyed all and would love to visit again on a fall day

    Cool place. It used to be a brewery in the early years of Pittsburgh. It was empty for a long time and then investors bought the building, rehabbed it and it was to house 3 breweries but one went bankrupt. Now there are two here. Has a great outdoor space on the ground floor with tasting rooms there and tons of outside seating. Then you go to the third floor where the breweries also have bars set up and a communal beer hall room. They then have a 4th floor with indoor seating and rooftop seating.tried New France Beer for the first time tonight. I've been numerous times for Abstract Realm, their haze game is on point. It's a great venue here and would recommend to anyone.

    Checked out Hazelwood Brew House The Progress Fund and local breweries bring their distillery skills to a BRAND NEW BREWHOUSE! 3 breweries, 3 floors, 1 venue - A brand new beer concept! Bonafide Beer, New France Beer Co , Abstract Realm Brewing- all came together to create a one of a kind experience. Check out their beer garden on the first floor, an indoor taproom on the third floor & a sweet rooftop on the fourth floors Beer available on the first & third floor- take your beers to the rooftop to enjoy scenic views of the city! They'll be having rotating food trucks & some grab n go bites available!

    Wow, I can't wait for word to spread about this incredible space. We went for a bike ride on the newer section of the trail past Southside and into Hazelwood (I have my suspicions not many people know you can go this direction) with the goal of stopping here to check it out. The 2 new breweries housed here are amazing, New France and Abstract Realm. Bonafide will be opening a new location here a little later. This historic building was one of the earliest breweries in Pittsburgh around prohibition. They've rehabbed it into a great spot, featuring a massive courtyard with the three breweries. They've been doing food trucks also and it looks like there's cornhole and a big smoker outside for future events. You can also go upstairs into the huge building, and there's a bar for each of the breweries there as well. And SO many tables. It would be a great space for a large private event. Last but not least, there's a rooftop! There's plenty of seating and some nice views. A different perspective of Pittsburgh. Very glad we discovered this place, I have been doing my part to tell others.

    Loved the concept of multiple microbreweries in one building. Beautiful old restored building. Both breweries had excellent beer choices.

    Food, yes! Service, absolutely yes!…read moreAmbiance, needs a bit more gnome-ness! 10/10 Parking yes, but Uber, Lyft better for everyone!

    No complaints about Blue Sparrow. The food was amazing and so accommodating. I have a nut, dairy…read moreand egg allergy & they let me look at the dairy free cheese ingredients to make sure it was all good! The pizza was amazing. 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.

    So have you seen that meme out on the InterT00bZ that's like "Hey let's go to that new beer place…read morethey have $27 warm hazy IPAs in the middle of a parking lot?" Yeah, that's the vibe I was getting at Velum. There was a lot to like and a lot to not like about this place, so I'll start with the bad and end on a positive note. First off, it's in an old brewery and it looks like a warehouse. I'm not sure if they still brew their own beers but it straight up looks like an old warehouse. I've seen abandoned warehouses that look less like a warehouse than Velum. Maybe some people like that vibe but I felt like the cops were going to bust in and shut the party down like a teen coming-of-age movie. The taproom is all the way in the back, and so are the bathrooms, so if you break the magic circle, prepare to get your steps in. There's no kitchen. They DO partner with a food truck but they're getting their own review. I paid $10 for an average cocktail and $8 for a 12 oz cider that frankly wasn't that great. Either better drinks or bigger drinks, please. And everything is community seating. I don't hate the idea but I didn't care for the vibe so when I found a smaller table my friend and I grabbed it and boarded it. With that being said, there was a lot to like too. First off, we were there for a pinball night, and they have a great selection of pinball tables there, both classic and modern. I really would have liked information on joining a pinball league, but that wasn't offered anywhere that I could find. Plus on that particular night it was $10 for all-you-can-play, so we definitely got our money's worth there. The staff that I did interact with were super nice. That goes a long way and saved this from being a worse review. And the place is dog friendly, which is always a huge plus for me. All in all, I had a decent night. But the question as always is if I'll go back. Unfortunately, probably not of my own accord. If there's another pinball event, I'll definitely go, but it's not going into my rotation of cool spots. Not every place is meant for me, and that's fine.

    As a pickleball sports place, I'd give this place a 3. You are able to book indoor courts, but…read morethere is only 3 available-- 2 side by side and one perpendicular to it separated by a net. However, the floors are insanely slippery -- to the point that if you were playing quick plays or rapidly accelerating, I would be extremely cautious. Additionally, it's not clear when the floors transition from the smooth, slippery surface to a rough concrete where you could catch your feet. Between the 2 side by side courts, there's also a random pot hole/divot where you could easily roll your ankle. However, this brewery also offers exciting other experiences: arcade games including ping pong, pinball, etc., rock climbing upstairs, live sports TV, and obviously drinks as a bar. As a multi-faceted facility, there's a lot that you can do here. They also have a bunch of colorful murals, like the one of Mac Miller (rip) and of V for Velum. There's also free parking outside the facility and by the apartment complexes.
