    Probably my second favorite Pittsburgh Brewery so far! Stopped in for lunch on Saturday and were served by Henry who was friendly and helpful. Ordered a flight and some smash burgers, really liked all the beers. Appreciate the use of their space and the industrial decor, We will be back! We tried the Mojo Joe Joe coffee blond - I don't even like coffee, but enjoyed the beer. Snafu - quite tasty Sa'wjest 43 Hefeweizen - my favorite! Grizzly bear grisette - my first grisette, liked it!

    Small hipster brewery in Bellevue with a lot of beer and food options. Live music and trivia nights during the week. Outdoor seating available when weather is nice. We got wings and hummus and it was really good.

    Stopped in with some fam for lunch today. Loved the quirky brewery vibe. Their list of what's on tap included an extensive selection of their own beers. Our server was great and quite patient. She let us try quite a few - from their farmhouse ale to their hazy IPA to a "naked pumpkin" beer to their darkest "Dark Side of the Moon." My sisters-in-law (SIL) even tried their pumpkin cider but thought it didn't taste at all of pumpkin. I had the latter which was pretty good - a decent "coffee" flavor. One SIL had the farmhouse and enjoyed it; the other the naked pumpkin and thought it was pretty good - "more pumpkiny than the cider." I tried their popular chicken Caesar wrap and it was pretty good. My SILs loved their food - ordering from the Oktoberfest menu while it still lasted. One got a yummy spaetzle w/ a longer pasta than any of us had had. Nice taste w- the creamy Emmental topped w/ fried onion/shallot. The other SIL got the bratwurst which she really liked - the fresh Mancinis bread, a tender brat, caramelized onions, and some kind of special mustard. The SILs got Apple strudel which they thought was pretty good - though one said she would've liked more cinnamon and the other was looking for a flakier, more typical strudel crust. But all in all, it was a really nice lunch. We'll be back.

    We always have kind servers and good food when we stop by for a late Sunday lunch. I like that it's such a neighborhood hangout that patents can bring their kids too. It just increases the community feel.

    Very cute brewery with a hipster hometown aesthetic. We've lived here in Bellevue for 7 years and had never stopped in since it opened, but we're very interested in coming to a trivia night. If you go for trivia, make sure you come early because seating is very limited. We arrived at 630pm, and the place was already packed! Over the course of the evening we ordered a cider, some mocktails, and a blueberry mule. All were very good. We ordered a patty melt with the pickle dip on it, a steak hoagie with TONS of hot cherry peppers, and one of the old world pretzels. I had no idea what to expect, but the food was all incredible. The sides of pickled vegetables are somehow what we cannot stop talking about! The pickle dip definitely lives up to everyone else's rave reviews about it on here. Service was great.. Food came out a little slow but we didn't care at all because it perfectly aligned with the start of trivia for us. We will come back and are excited for their new location (where the old Bellevue post office was) to open!

    The Rueben's has house made corned beef.  It was very tasty

    The Octoberfest lineup of beers was very good. Loved the pickle dip and the Rueben was the best tasted in a long time.

    TLDR: cozy neighborhood spot with best soft pretzel, other nice elevated pub food, and good drinks. Just wish they had more space & more comfy seating. This cozy neighborhood brewery in Bellevue is a great spot for food, cocktails, & of course beers! Imo they have the best, huge, delicious soft pretzel in Pittsburgh. It's very reminiscent of a $28 soft pretzel I had elsewhere in that it's nice & fluffy with a good soft bread texture. Plus, you'll save $9 on this one, it comes with beer cheese + mustard, & it's much larger. Pro tip: add their famous pickle dip with your pretzel. The combo is incredible! The blackened ahi tuna BLT on a nice brioche bun was also really delicious - with a kick! Speaking of kick, I'm kicking myself that I didn't take a pic of the drink menu bc I can't recall exactly what was in my bourbon cocktail or the name, but I'm pretty sure it had fig. It was strong & tasty. Check out this neighborhood spot if you're looking for a delicious low-key meal in Pittsburgh. They also have live music & some other events.

    Adorable spot in a cute area. I didn't try the beet (No-drink-vember) but my friend had the East End Big Hop American Ale and loved it. We ordered a big pretzel to share and it came with both beer cheese and a spicy mustard. Delicious! The atmosphere was comfortable, the wait staff was attentive. I'll definitely be back!

    It was my first visit and it was a good time. We went on Tuesday night which is their trivia night, not going to lie the questions were harder than I thought they would be! I'm not the biggest beer drinker but I was able to tell the bar tender exactly what I liked and she picked out a great beer that I enjoyed. They also have a small food menu, I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap. It was a decent size and had a great flavor. Their side options left something to be desired I had the cold orzo salad and kettle chips. Over all it was a good experience and I want to go back to try a few more things!

    I'd Never heard of Lincoln Avenue Brewery, until I attended an event recently. From the moment I walked in, it was as if I was in an episode of "Cheers;" or what I assume the show is like I've never watched it ‍. The point is, it was better than anything I could've assumed it would be like. Grant, Lisa, and the staff were very personable and make you feel welcome from the first step inside. I gotta be honest, I'm not a beer drinker. "So why did you go?" Why not? Experiencing new things lead to discovery. I tried the Lincoln Avenue Aye Matey area salt/lime gosey, bulldog dipa, ESB, and the mead. All solid beers, but I can't get over how delicious the sour was. I'm normally not one to like like any lemon/ lime flavored things because they usually taste artificial. However, the sour was so natural and refreshing. Definitely made me more curious about exploring sours. While the beers were noteworthy, and the chicken Caesar wrap was delicious, it is the pickle dip I keep telling everyone about. I got a mouth-watering flavor that made me feel ready to party. I took some of the dip with me and I wish I had taken more. Does anyone know if they sell a jar of this? I want to buy some to bring to share at parties!! I definitely plan to return! I'm currently trying to vet the people that can hang and will mesh well with the laid back vibe. Or maybe I'll just return on my own. Either way, stop reading this and go check this little gem out!

    I LOVE this brewery! The vibes are so much fun, the beer is cool and crisp, and the food is tasty af!! They have a nice selection of their house beers, my personal faves are their sours. They usually have a nice rotation. And THE PICKLE DIP! Insanely delicious, no notes. It's awesome having a brewery in Bellevue, and I'm glad it's this one!

The Open Road is here in the up-and-coming Garfield neighborhood to help supply sober and sober curious people, and really anyone interested in cutting back on alcohol or supporting someone who is, with delicious beverages that help you feel like you're not missing out on a thing. There are nonalcoholic beers, spirit-free versions of things like gin, bourbon, bitters and truly anything else you might need to make yourself alcohol free drinks at home. There are also pre-canned and bottled options where you don't have to do any of the work, nonalcoholic wine and bubbly, functional beverages with added benefits, the amount of choice is nearly overwhelming in the best possible way. It's a clean, open vibe in the shop and the staff is kind and helpful. I have bought from them a number of times throughout the year at various pop-ups but this was my first visit to the shop and of course won't be my last. They are regulars at Pittsburgh festivals and other events and I'm deeply appreciative for their presence in the community!

I'm not sober but this store is for everyone! I started shopping here a couple of years ago during Dry January. I now do Dry July or dry-ish July too They have so many options! Great for cutting down your drinking or completely abstaining. Also really great to pick things up here if you're having a party, get together, company over, and so on. I personally have a couple of pregnant friends who cannot drink but like Non alcoholic wine. This is just such an amazing concept as a store and it's awesome seeing places like this start to pop up. More people are cutting back or going sober and you never know someone's reason for not drinking!

They served Collefrisio wines and had great cheese plates. My friends and I would go for their happy hour for half priced glasses of Riserva wine. It was a very laid back atmosphere. I don't think the wine bar has reopened, but I visited recently for a coffee. De Fer Coffee & Tea is now the coffee provider inside the grocery store. I guess I haven't been there for a while, because there were a lot of changes! The macaron stand isn't there any more, and they have seats instead. I was so glad that I took my laptop with me, because once I saw the seats I decided to stay and work. While sipping on my oat milk latte, I watched all the Downtown work people come and go ordering custom sandwiches and hot foods for lunch. They have a good selection of food and the prices are reasonable. I remember one time ordering salmon, veggies, and something else and it was only about $10-$12. They served it to you on a plate, and I ate it in the wine bar. I didn't eat anything on this most recent trip, but I enjoyed my latte from De Fer.

    BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

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.
