Had a great afternoon meal at The Church Brew Works yesterday. On a previous trip to Pittsburgh we had tried to eat there but found not a single spare seat and did nothing more than peek in the door. This time we arrived around 2pm on Saturday and there were plenty of seats available. I won't speak to the coolness of the actual space as I'm sure many others before me have done a great job. Only thing I will say is how cavernous it is but yet you feel cozy - the low lighting helps lend itself to that mood as do the bright stained glass windows.
We started with the pierogi's of course (un-traditional). These were a mix of kielbasa, potato, and onion on the inside and on the top a mustard and horseradish sauce. Wish I had ordered more because they were gone way to quickly! I ordered the lunch size (9") Portabello Pesto pizza and Dave ordered the Artichoke, Spinach, and Feta pizza. We both preferred the Portabello by far but both were yummy. Andy had a Char-Grilled Buffalo burger with spiced fries and said he enjoyed it.
Dave and Andy ordered the Pipe Organ Pale Ale and the Celestial Gold. Consensus was for the Celestial Gold. Andy also ordered a bottle of Quadzilla - a Belgian Style Cherry Wheat and I found it similar to Lambic (one of two kinds of 'beer' which I do drink) and very tasty.
Overall - I would recommend it to friends/family and hope to go again.
PS - I think it's funny that there were 33 votes for Alcohol: None in the survey :-P
