Have been in Pittsburgh for 7 years - and this place has so far given me the worse dining experience so far. At issue is not the food - it is the fact that there is no hostess and you seat yourself ("community seating"). Arriving diners queue up at the entrance like cattle and fight for for any table that becomes open (and there are 40 or so tables or table-like barrels). We arrived around 6:30PM on a Saturday. My spouse was alerted by someone in the staff that a table would soon open up, and as soon as it did we sat down. Within seconds another patron came over and started barking that he was there first and that he wanted the table. It was really hard to tell who got there first, and not wanting to start a fight, we gave him the table and left. Really bad experience - I cannot recommend this brewery/restaurant/tasting room/whatever. Get a hostess before you have a serious incident and someone gets hurt (or give some structure to the process of getting a table). Sad that a simple detail like that makes it a no-go - I was hoping to do more business here.
