| - Church Brew Works was the first restaurant in Pittsburgh at which I ate. I was going through my soup phase and just had a bowl of the potato leek soup. It was delicious and I've liked Church Brew Works ever since that day.
I am not the world's biggest fan of beer. It's okay, but I've only found one type of beer that I really like (and have only found in one German restaurant in Philadelphia). I'm not going to judge the beer, though my boyfriend and beer-loving friends like the Celestial Gold most of all.
The food is good. Usually I get the pierogie saute, but when I'm feeling like eating a little healthier, I get a salad. The salad is okay, but the pierogie saute started and continues to inspire my love of pierogies. Yum. The ambiance is great. A friend of mine commented that this is the only church in which he prays - a beer hall, to the God of Beers.
I'm not giving Church Brew Works 5 stars because it's not, to me, perfect. It's good, and I've had a number of consistently good meals there, but it's got a long wait, the parking lot sucks, and the salad is good and fresh but not awe inspiring. 4 stars is solid though.
