| - Southern Tier Brewing opened this location near PNC Park and Heinz Field this summer. I have been to their Lakewood NY location, but this was my first visit to the new place by the stadiums. Southern Tier is a super place to visit, before or after taking in an athletic event or just stop by for good food an brew. There is a convienent "T" stop not to far away, but even if you walk across the bridge it isn't a bad walk. The day of my visit was a rare 4pm Pirates game, and we arrived so early that only the bar was full. Our party of 6 were seated and our waiter Bradshaw could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Bradshaw was very patient with me in advising on my beer selection and brought two tastes before settling on my pour. Attention to our table's service did not falter as the place filled before the game.
All in our group were very pleased with our meals of: Winter Salad, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Burger, Parmesean Garlic Cauliflower. Southern Tier didn't cheap out on the flatware, plates, glasses, decor or anything about this location. The outdoor patio is still under construction but will certainly be grade -A just like the inside brewery.
The ceiling is high but the noise level was very good. Music was not blaring and we could all hear one another well. I don't know how they did this with full capacity of patrons but whatever it is - it is working.
