Just went here this past Sunday - Went in around 1 and had no problem getting a seat. (My friends went two weeks ago on a Wednesday evening and the wait was over an hour and half.) I think the atmosphere is pretty cool. It's very different compared to most PGH South Hills eateries. There were these huge garage doors that I assume will be opened in the warmer months but it did make it very chilly. I'm happy I had my coat to wear during lunch.
The beers were very cool (a bit expensive but that's expected). The descriptions of the beers were on point! I think we tried all but 1 because they didn't have it available. I could easily crave some of these beers.
The food was lacking. I think the owners need to focus more on getting the customers substance in their food. For example, we ordered the cheese platter ($14). The platter came with 3 small pieces of toasted bread, scattered walnut bits that no one know what to do with, a few jumbo olives, and some standard cheeses. We asked for more toasted bread and about 10 minutes later, we got 4 more pieces. There were 5 of us - An appetizer that is over $9 should be able to feed more than 3 people. They were also out of anything pretzel which was a letdown (understandable since this is still a new business).
My pizza was pretty amazing though! All of the pizzas sounded delicious - the ingredients were very fresh. Something that was off was that each additional topping was $2?? It's just not worth it here. It's really not. The rest of the table ordered sandwiches. Synopsis, nothing to write home about. The chips they give you on the side seemed like they were from a bag. The ones my boyfriend got seemed like they came from the bottom of the bag. When everyone was done eating, we all said we could definitely eat more. This also goes back to the substance point I made.
I'm not sure if this place wants the customers to leave more room for the beer or not? If that's the case then they need to lower the food prices. This place needs some time to figure out how to be "cool/urban" while also catering to the area. We like to eat, a lot! I like that they have different options outside of usual wings, mozzarella sticks and fried zucchini selection that are a staple of the South Hills, but don't cheat us! I have high hopes for this place. I'm definitely coming back in a few months and I'm sure it's going to be much more satisfying.
