| - This place holds a special place in my food-loving heart. As two people who love irony, my husband and I thought after eloping in Allegheny County Night Court, there would be no better place to have a "reception" than a church converted into a brewery. It's a cool space and worth a visit, though it is packed on weekend evenings.
My favorite on the dinner menu -- chicken pot pie! I love that it's not thick and goopy and that the topper is puff pastry and not traditional pie crust. On the pub menu -- LOVE the Southwest Chicken Wrap and traditional pierogies. Husband is a fan of the salmon.
I am giving it a 4 because the service has never been stellar -- typically if you're not sitting at the bar, you have to ask for the pub menu, which has pizza and sandwich options. I don't really get that -- because it's pretty much the old center aisle of the church that divides the bar side from the "dining room". But I have gotten a surly hostess (same one) on two occasions. No real greeting, no eye contact. So yeah, if you can get past that, the food is always spot on and tasty in my experience.
Oh! And the smell, it is distinctive. It doesn't bother me -- however, if you're turned off by woody, earthy smells -- you might want to skip.
Hehe, update -- another Yelper read this review and messages me that they actually changed their menu several months ago and don't have Chicken Pot Pie. Bummer to hear, but please note -- I was there 3-4 days before I wrote that review, I went there specifically for it and I didn't bother checking the menu. Our server simply told me "they didn't have that tonight". Wish I would have known they don't have it ever!
