Excellent Rum! Their Painkiller might be my favorite cocktail I've had.

Nice little bar that wasn't too crowded, tucked away from on the strip. Delicious cocktails, on the strong side. Overall very friendly customers and staff. read more

The best cocktail menu in Pittsburgh! The staff are attentive and friendly, dogs are plentiful. What more could you ask for!

Groups beware... WORST in class customer service. I don't even know where to begin. Long story short I requested to reserve a few tables for a group of approximately 20 (ended up being 22 in total) a little over two weeks out. 24 hours before the event date, I was getting mixed messages from the operations assistant and owners of the bar if my party was cancelled or not. The owner assured me he did not run his business as such and the party was indeed still on. I even went out of my way and met in person with the owner the night before to ensure we were good to go. His wife, and also I believe co-owner, clearly did not feel the same. She was rude and condescending to both my guests and me. She even admitted to me she was taking her frustrations out on me because she never wanted a party of my size- very unprofessional! She clearly did not want my group there from the start, and I would have rather the owners cancel my party, even if it was within 24 hours, versus being treated as we were. I am a reasonable person who scheduled weeks in advance. The owners had my number and email and should have contacted me when I initially reserved and said we really can't accommodate you. I would have understood and appreciated their feedback in advance to give me time to plan for something else. Instead they did nothing and ended up providing terrible service to my group. They took no responsibility for their actions and need a serious overhaul of their customer facing bartenders and business model. I hope they take this as a learning experience, as I do not wish this experience on anyone. On the one side the bartender with the multi-color haired was lovely and very nice- they should let her be the customer facing contact! read more

What a chill place this is. It reminds you of a little hipster speakeasy. It's nestled in an unassuming industrial part of Smallman St. in the Strip. I had two Old Fashioned and a "Hurricane". The people are very nice here and the crowd is of the laid back variety. We arrived 15 minuets before closing time and they stayed open for an extra hour accommodating our group along with others. I'd give it a try if your looking for a place to end your evening after a nice night out. read more

So much fun! Did the rum "tour" although it's really just a lecture but our person was so knowledgeable and it was really interesting to learn so much about rum! We got to try four or five rums and liquors. I do wish our "guide" was a little louder, but I really enjoyed my time. They also have fun cocktails and an inviting staff. read more

Did you have any idea you liked rum? Pittsburgh is certainly on the map when it comes to craft beer, but who'd have thought that a rum distillery could be so awesome? In a small and unsuspecting location, there's a hand-painted sign outside that details their offering in big letters: "RUM." Friday and Saturday evenings, 5-10 PM, they offer a menu of $6 cocktails, all mixed with house-made syrups. They use a brand new copper still hand-crafted and imported from Spain. They're happy to talk with you, give you some samples, and mix some delicious drinks for a solid price. Oh, and the rum is pretty damn good. I had no idea I liked rum. read more

Wahhh. I was stoked to try Maggie's Farm Rum when I was in Pittsburgh a few weekends ago. I'd heard their rum was stellar and their cocktails were good too. I'm also generally a fan of anyone trying to do something different or unexpected, and I'd classify this under those categories. My friends and I headed in on a weekend afternoon ready to sample some rum. We were the only people in the distillery and bought a tasting each to try. The rums were pretty good and I am not a big rum fan. However the customer service was awful, we tried asking questions about the rum and making conversation and we were completely ignored, it made us feel super uncomfortable and unwelcome. I hear ya if you're having a bad day, but then you should be careful in a people facing role especially at an up and coming distillery. I am not excited to come back because honestly I was turned off after this experience, this is sad because the rum was good and my dark and stormy was pretty damn tasty as well. read more

Been here a few times to try the rum and to indulge in some serious cocktails. Not only is the rum delicious and locally sourced, but they make some of the best cocktails in Pittsburgh! I have tried many, but the painkiller is truly out of this world! They also change the cocktails depending on the freshness of the ingredients so there is always something new to try. read more

First time visitor with some friends . I've tried a lot of rum in my days when traveling the Caribbean and I have to tell you these spirits blow them away. Started off doing a sampling which was 5 dollars and it got us a sample of every one of the runs. Each one was tastier than the last one. Hands down the most flavorful spiced rum I've ever had the pleasure of trying . The bartender was super nice and answered all of my questions and the owner even came and talked for a bit. After that had a dark and stormy which was impeccable! Others had the same as well as a few other cocktails from the menu. I will definitely be back, this is a must try if you want a totally cool experience in a super cool setting . read more

Maggie's Farm Rum - Distilleries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ok. Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Friend and I decided to make our own Strip Crawl, as Maggie's X 2 + Driving is not my kind of math. We parked in the thick of things and set out on foot - which is good, as parking at MFR is not plentiful. The rum inside, however, was plentiful AND flavorful. We both had a Painkiller - nice and sweet with some freshly grated nutmeg on top - very tropical. I also had a Fizz, which was lemony and a little frothy, compliments of the agitated egg white. Friend had the Hawaiian - quite good, as well. The distillery is right there, too. As was the owner / Master Distiller-er / bartender. We did not feel the need to purchase a bottle, but we would definitely go back to try the rest of the drink menu. Pittsburgh, you definitely got it going on - ! read more

There has never been a time that we have come, that we didn't love every drink we've gotten! We love this place so much!!!!! It's a tradition for Christmas that we do a Bar crawl, and Maggie's always makes the cut!!! It's always our 1st stop!! Great spot! read more

As others have said, Maggie's really is a hidden gem in the Strip. I frequent the Strip and have never noticed Maggie's, until a friend asked me to join her for drinks after work one day. I had a little trouble finding it at first, as their signage is very minimal. Once inside, I was taken back by how quaint and simply adorable it is in there. Plenty of seating, cool artwork, and they allow dogs since there is no food served in the establishment (yay to dogs!). Their drinks were awesome. I went with a more summery cocktail to start, their coconut rum with lime and some soda. It was delicious. The second cocktail was a fall flavored one and it was even better. They had a really nice selection of cocktails and there is surely something for everyone here. They offer tours of the distillery on Saturdays, but the availability is limited. I want to come back soon with my sister and tour the distillery. If you enjoy rum, or liquor in general, you should absolutely check this place out. read more

They have such good rum. I'm a scotch drinker normally and their Queen's Share is like heaven in my mouth. High-proof and unbelievably complex and delicious. I get it on the rocks with a beer back and it's my happy place. I must say ALL of their rum is excellent, and if you're into craft cocktails you have to try this place. I wish they had more seating, but it'll do in a pinch. Buy a bottle, buy a cocktail, buy a shot; but don't sleep on this spot. read more

Lovely small distillery We had a few of the drinks, they were well made. Even though the dark and stormy was not really dark, it was still tasty. Their Piña Colada in disguise (I forgot the name) was my favorite. Loved the location, the service was great. I will definitely come back again read more

There's barely anything more to explain than: They have killer rum, killer cocktails, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Seriously. The pain killer is probably the best drink they offer, if you're needing something more sweet. We originally stopped on a weds after driving past the hand painted "rum for sale" sign. It was intriguing and I couldn't help myself. They let us try everything they made, told us to come back on a friday or saturday for cocktail hour. We complied. There were no regrets. It was AMAZING. I've been back 3-4 times now. I would recommend anyone to go in there, get a small history lesson on rum, and drink your ass off. OH! They do NOT have any food, but you are welcome to bring your own. read more

Maggie's Farm Rum is a distillery and a bar - whatever you are there for you will be happy with. Unlike most commercial rum Maggie's Farm has a tremendous amount of flavor. It almost leans in the Rhum Agricole direction and has a huge nose of delicious sugar. Talking with the owner, it's sourced from Malawi and shipped to him. There aren't many white rums out there with this much flavor. Deliciously smooth, easy to drink straight or in a cocktail. The price point of the rum by the bottles compares vary favorably with other rums of the same quality. If you're just looking for a cocktail you're in the right place. The cocktail list changes often and the focus is always on freshly made ingredients from freshly squeezed fruits to house made falernum. The cocktails are a great price and way to taste the various rum offerings. They know what they're doing when they're mixing. Should you ever find the need to lay off the rum, they are great at making mocktails too since they always seem to have fruit on hand. read more

Very cool place in an unusual district of Pittsburgh. Everything is made in house from the rum to the juice they use. Very knowledgeable staff. Its a cool little pitstop read more

Excellent drinks and nice staff. Very tasty options and not too sweet. Lots of cool options on the menu. Wish the place was a little bigger though, got kind of cramped. read more

This place is the real deal, the first rum distillery in PA (not the first rum in the area, as Boyd and Blair did beat them to the punch). These guys love what they're doing, and they're making very high quality product in very small batches. The Queen's share products they're putting out are some of the most interesting rums you can find anywhere. If you're a fan of spiced rums, you owe it to yourself to go pick up a bottle of MF's spiced rum as well as Wigle's spice landlocked. The spice combinations are vastly superior to most of what you've had before. Lucky is one of the most interesting characters, never mind bartenders, in the city, and his love of all things rum soaks through well into the cocktail menu. The rum itself is great and made with love. The atmosphere to get a drink in the evening is unpretentious and quiet. I laughed a bit at the two one star reviews here. Just stupid stupid stupid stuff. read more

Our group had such a bad experience here. We were unfairly patronized for being in the 'wrong area', and the manager argued with my friend for what felt like a half hour to an hour for truly no reason. Everyone in our group was mature, well-behaved, and acting appropriately. It was completely unprofessional, and we felt so unwelcome that we left. Their rum might taste decent, but there are plenty of other establishments that treat their customers with courtesy and appreciation that Pittsburghers can take their business to. read more

Very well crafted cocktails. We ordered the Zombie, the Daiquiri, and a Pear/Apple Cider drink and all were delicious. We went to a nearby cocktail bar the same night and actually thought these drinks were better! The Daiquiri is not the overly sweet drink that you're used to drinking beachside. Instead, it is a simple lime, simple syrup, and rum drink that let's you actually taste their smooth rum. The Zombie is potent, but whatever is in Don's Mix makes it extremely drinkable and again not overly sweet. Will be back to buy a bottle. read more

Every drink we tried was absolutely amazing! The bartenders are very attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend after only being a first time visitor. read more

Nice quiet stop-in to savor some amazing hand crafted rum based cocktails. White Haitian was by the far the BEST White Russian I've had by far and the Painkiller was like sipping on Ambrosia salad. The freshly grated nutmeg on top was what made the drink. read more

Maggie's Farm Rum - Autumn Haitian and Spiced Rum Cider. The latter is highly recommended!!!! - Distilleries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Maggie's farm is an amazing place with solid small batch rum selection that they turn into fabulous cocktails. The ambiance and artwork add to then greatness of this place. (Seriously the artwork is amazing - we have even bought the artwork off the walls.) While slightly off the beaten path (by being further down Penn Avenue) it is worth finding this gem. I hate handing out 3 stars to this place because it has all the right fixings of a proper hang out spot, but there's one great hang up- the staff. I have been here several times and there's consistently uncomfortable awkwardness and seeming annoyance from staff. It is not all the staff- but one staffer that I'm sure the owner is aware of. Begs the question why put a sourpuss out front when you just want people to come out and have a good time. Kills the vibe man, kills the vibe. read more

Great service, both mixed drinks and rum are fantastic. Highly recommend... full drinks. Not half assed like wigle down the road

Um, amazing! This place is a hidden gem! They make first class cocktails and unique brews. I would highly recommend checking this place out. The bartender was attentive and a true craftsman. I was genuinely impressed with the cocktails. The ambience here is chill with an industrial feel. read more

On of my biggest regrets, when I lived in Pittsburgh, is that I didn't come here more often. This is an awesome place to visit! I've only been to a few distilleries but this is on top for me. I really like the small atmosphere and the views of their rum making apparatus as you enjoy great Rum. When my wife and I went, the only employee there was zesting limes for their Falernum (my wife's favorite). We had a good conversation about their Rum's and got a few tasters, which resulted with us buying a few bottles. Their cocktails are very good too; I got one based on their coffee rum. Before visiting, my favorite rum (for the price) was Bacardi 8. Now, it's their Dark rum. read more

We had a horrible experience here. The drinks were okay but the service was TERRIBLE. The owner was horribly rude to my friend who was hosting a party for her husband. She reserved the space in advance, and the owner acted like it was a huge inconvenience for 20 customers to be in her bar. She argued with my friend for 20 minutes, hiked up her unitemized bill, introduced a surprise gratuity situation and generally put a huge damper on the night. Everyone felt really uncomfortable. If you're looking to partner with them for an event of any kind, I would advise against it. It was probably the worst service I've ever come across. Poor business management and the owner creates a tense atmosphere. read more

Very unsuspecting from the outside and a little off the beaten path but a fun spot to have a really good drink! My favorite is the painkiller, which is a very tropical coconut drink. It's like the piña coladas cooler big sister. Lots of booths and bar seating. I believe they have food trucks out front on occasion as well. Oh and you can buy an assortment of their runs in bottles to go! read more

A little bit off the beaten path in relation to the heart of the strip, but a great place to hang out. They do not serve food, but I have been told that you can bring your own food, so that's a plus! All of the drinks were around $7 and the ones I tried were delicious! Strong and very flavorful, I'm glad they don't try to skimp on the booze! read more

The world's best painkiller belongs to Maggie's! I love this little hole in the wall rum joint. It's laid back and when you start sipping that painkiller with a topper you feel transported to a tropical island. I can't wait to get back here! read more

I loved this place! I had never heard of it until this past weekend when my friend and I stopped in during our bike ride through the city. I couldn't believe I had never heard of it/ been to it before because it is such a cool place. Since it was my first time there, I asked the bartender what she thought I should order. She suggested the painkiller because it is their most popular drink and I can definitely see why. It was so delicious! White rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and coconut cream made for the perfect combination and made me feel like I was on a tropical island. I am so happy I found this place and can't wait to stop in again for another amazing cocktail! read more

Ok, I've had rum from all around the world and Tim's is on par or better than all that. If you don't drink their rum, then you hate Pittsburgh and you hate America. Guessing yelp deletes this review because they also hate small business and hate America. Bet they keep competitors negative reviews though..... read more

Pittsburgh's hidden gem. The service is fantastic. It is a distillery not a bar and the drinks are all rum based. It is a place for people who are old enough to understand how to order a drink and interact with other human beings without acting a fool. read more

Maggie's is a very unique place in Pittsburgh. The rum is tasty, the drinks are very creative and I hope they continue to come up more drink ideas. I tried the painkiller and spicy pear. The bar is on the smaller side, so I could definitely see it becoming packed at times. Otherwise it's a very nice place to drink on a Saturday evening. I even purchased a bottle of their white rum, which smells amazing. read more

Met a friend here for a drink last night before dinner. The place smells delicious from all the rum! The cocktails are very reasonable priced. Most were $7 and one was $9 and $12. You get a free sampling of all their runs if you order a cocktail otherwise it's $5. The cocktails all sounded amazing although there are only around 5 to choose from. They also don't serve food. It's a very laid back place with a decent amount of seating for how small it is. It's between the Strip District and Lawrenceville but, if you don't mind walking 5-10 min you can walk to the restaurants in Lawrenceville to eat. We walked to Senti after. You will most likely have to park a block or two away because there are only like 3 spots right in front of the building. read more

Horrible service. Literally got scolded by the bartender for not order all drinks at once. I order two, then someone in my party asked for two more. Then some one else asked for two more. 6 drinks total after already ordering 6 previous drinks and other coworkers ordering many more for two hours prior. Than I got yelled at for not ordering all at once. Wtf. Mid you this was a very large order from a company right down the street that goes there all the time. Also have multi Maggie's bottles in my home collection (not any more obv). Hard to stay away from such amazing rum at least I will do it and never take my team here again. read more

We had heard about this place and decided to stop in on Saturday afternoon to give it a try. It is rather unassuming from the outside but when you walk in the atmosphere is great. Loved sitting at the bar with the copper stills in the background. We sampled some of the rums then ordered a few drinks. I thought the rums were uninteresting and even the spiced rum tasted infused rather than distilled that way. I'm not an expert so maybe that's how they do it, but it just seemed too "forced". In general the rums were very strong and tasted more like alcohol that flavorful rum. Not our first rum tasting so we do have a point of reference. On the bright side the cocktails were delicious. The main reason I am writing this review though is because we were really disappointed with the service. Generally when you go to a place like this (i.e. Wiggle or all of the wineries and brew pubs in the area), the people serving you are typically passionate about their product and normally talk your ear off and make recommendations. Not the case here. Any attempt to engage in conversation was either unheard or ignored. No interaction (or eye contact) other than to take our orders and serve our drinks. It was almost like we were an imposition. So between the "Ok" rum and the less than friendly service, I don't think we will be returning nor recommending this place to others. read more
