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.

Every seat was filled with lots of folks that must live nearby. Such a great neighborhood spot. It was also $2 off 1/2 pounder smash burgers which we ordered. The burgers were nicely cooked with gooey cheese on both burgers. The fries were a little overdone but definitely hand cut and seasoned well. The bartender was also our waitress and did a terrific job welcoming us and offering recommendations. She was excellent and surprisingly attentive when it got really busy. Their draft beer could be a little colder. Otherwise, a very pleasant meal.

This is a great place to make wonderful memories with special people. You don't want to pass this place up.

We stopped into Sidelines because we'd heard good things about the wings. I'm here to tell you that…read moreyou may want to skip this spot. We stopped in on a Tuesday night and opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't busy. Something important to note is that when we arrived, the music was playing softly in the background. While the prices were decent, the service was not. Our waitress came over to us after our appetizers arrived, I asked for a refill, we made eye contact, she ignored me, and turned around. It took another ten minutes before I was able to get a refill, and she never asked again for the rest of the time we were there. The people sitting beside us arrived later and ordered similar food to us, and they somehow received their food quite some time before ours came out. I am almost certain the bartender forgot to put in our order. Halfway through our meal (which was okay at best), someone turned the music up so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm pretty sure "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" played three times in a 30-minute window. It felt like we were intruding on a private party despite there being maybe seven other people at the bar. Despite clearly being done with our food, it took us another 30 minutes to get our checks. If you're looking for cheap bar food and don't mind repetitive music at varying levels of volume and being ignored by your bartender, give Sidelines a try.

Aggressively rolled up on me while walking across bar, forced me outside then after I let go to move on decided to cowardly push me to the ground in an obvious attempt to cause harm. Tho he failed to do much I still reported it, police requested video but bar declined to provide. Glaringly unprofessional with obvious anger issues. Perhaps now that I said something he'll think twice next time about assaulting a patron but that remains to be seen. If you're stuck in Millvale for a bit Smokey's is a much more interesting and welcoming spot, but after a drink or 2 there just cross the bridge to Lawrenceville or grab an uber to Pittsburgh proper.

My group had a fantastic time at Slider's Ice curling located in Millvale, PA. The ice area was…read morelocated at the rear of the building and was attached to the existing structure which regularly houses axe throwing and a large bar area. Our group ordered pizza and had it delivered to the location, so I assume that food service is not an option from this facility. Four curling lanes were available for to use with 4 stones in each lane. They do not allow you to perform any sweeping on the ice like you see on the Olympics. The game is set up to slide your stone across the ice and try and gain as many points as possible. A worker on the other end of the ice pushes the stones back to you. Overall it was really fun to try and would be worth doing again. Just note that it's not the full curling experience that you may expect from watching the Olympics. This was a great activity for wintertime and definitely a fun environment!

I've been there several times and honestly, I love the place so much that I would regularly make the trek to walk there and back from my apartment in Bloomfield. It is famously known as Pittsburgh's "they-bar," and the second you step inside, you can feel how deeply intentional they are about creating a genuinely inclusive, welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ and trans community. The theme is delightfully nerdy and witchy, with cozy, magical decor that immediately makes you feel right at home. They have a massive roster of events--everything from drag shows and karaoke to incredibly chill craft nights--but even if you're just dropping in for a drink, they completely nail it. Their menu features an amazing selection of creative "potions" (cocktails) and just-as-complex "fauxtions" (mocktails) that respect sober and drinking folks equally. It's easily one of the most comforting, accepting, and fun spots in the city. PS: Contrary to the one bad review I've read here, the service has always been top-notch!!From slow days when the owners and bartenders would have long convos with us to super busy times like during the Millvale Music Festival, always amazing service. Even during the chaotic busy times, staff always have a smile and a nice word for customers. Support local. Support lgbtq+.

Yay!!) the back patio was super cute, and large sized with string lights overhanging and multiple different sections for a cozy intimate vibe. We elected to sit at the bar, after we were able to grab two stools, (was pretty packed when we came in). The menu specials are adorable with different options, to include non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, let's not forget the candy bar! We had a few different drinks, I chose all of mine from the specialty menu, he chose some on tap draft and specialties. All super excellent. I had the lavender menace and the mermaid magic, along with a lavender lemonade. He had the pretty pretty princess and the archibald on tap. There's a store upstairs by the owner who was kind enough to let me shop during off shop hours. The shop is a combination of spiritual/witchy items and pride items. I purchased several items and the shop has a website storefront that offers shipping and e-gift cards. I got to meet Fred! The sweetest pupper ever, just absolute love. I left my boyfriend at the bar for shopping and petting a dog for a good 45 minutes. Oops.
