Church Brew Works is a Pittsburgh tradition. Its the prototypical place that you take your family when they come to town and want to personally view the sacrilege of multiple beer vats sitting on an re purposed church altar.
Thus the blessing and the burden of Church Brew Works: Its a great place that embodies Pittsburgh through and through. Beer! Wings! Pizza! Salad with French Fries!!! Traditional Perogies!!! Overpriced and over rated non traditional perogies like turkey dinner and bacon!!! But its also notoriously crowded on weekends with customers from out of town asking if they are pronouncing "yinz" correctly and trying to insert "n'at" into conversation.
If you can beat the crowds to get a seat, I highly recommend the pizza and the Pittsburgh salad. The rest of the menu is pretty hit or miss. The quality of things like wings, sandwiches most appetizers vary wildly based on how busy the restaurant is on the given night. Service is unremarkable but good. Prices are a little steep, especially for the drinks.
