I went with the recommendation of the wings and got the Cajun seasoning. They were so good that I regretted asking for blue cheese for dipping.

Our server (I believe his name was Cody) was genuinely one of the nicest guys ever!! Incredibly amazing energy and super kind to answer and questions or provide recs. We tried the White Sangria and they had a Pina colada both delicious and so refreshing! We have recently tried the Pesto pizza (I sub chicken on top instead) and the brisket mac and cheese which was probably the biggest mac and cheese I have ever seen and super yummy. If you haven't checked it out yet I definitely recommend it to everyone I know!

We went to the Benedum and stopped in after for a late dinner. It's a cool space, small with good…read morebar seating. That is where we ended up at the bar. I tried a black cherry ale that was delicious. My husband got a Vienna lager he enjoyed. He got the black and gold pizza with potatoes, garlic sauce, pepper, res onion parmesan, and provolone. It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.

We have had so much fun on the barge with friends…read more It's such a fun vibe with great drinks, great city views and fun places to sit. This year they moved it down closer to PNC Park.

The food was good, just a standard hot dog so nothing spectacular, but it fit the vibe! The pineapple margarita was wonderful, perfect amount of sweetness. As for service, initially we were served very quickly, and did not have a long wait time. When it came time to order another drink, the line was extremely long and moving slow so I did not get another. Beware that if there are other events in the city like concerts or baseball games, lines might get long. Overall, a nice spot if you're just looking to chill out, maybe play some card games and enjoy the company of others.

I mean $16 for a full smash with fries is just unheard of these days! I got the Polish Hill which has caramelized onions and pierogis it was AMAZING! The patty was crisp and still juicy and the onions were perfection. I upgraded to the rosemary fries and they were delicious! I got the strawberry way blonde ale and I was SO excited it wasn't a sour lol. I do enjoy sours but can usually only drink one. This was so smooth and not overly sweet it was so refreshing! 1000000/10!

I tend towards lighter beers, and they had several great options for me (don't worry, there are plenty of darker beers and higher-alcohol-percentage brews; I just didn't order them). There are three or four bars, along with a stage and places for food trucks. The bars are all linked, so you can open a tab at one and it'll be available at the others as well. Super friendly service. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was well-staffed with very cool employees. The atmosphere is nice, too, and I appreciated the poster on one wall explaining the meaning of "Grist House". You can bring dogs too! Some very nice dogs were present on this particular Saturday. Next time I'm coming through this way, I will definitely be stopping by again. * Note: it's a brewery, of course, but they do offer some wines and their own cocktail concoctions.
