Awesome place!! Recently stopped by on a weekend visit for a wedding in Ohio and this place was great. Solid beers. I got the flight of 11 beers and it was pretty cheap. My favorite of theirs was the IPA (which was lot more like a double) and the Penn Dark. Their ginger beer and Wiezen were also both really good. Definitely worth checking out. Great views from the outside as well.
Penn Brewery has great atmosphere great beer and good food. The wait staff is prompt and courteous. It's a great place for lunch dinner or just having a few appetizers and some darn good beer.
Great food, okay beer and fast service. Pricey for the size of the portions of the food but good beer prices.
Iconic. Over the last few years, we have been so busy running to every new brewery that pops up across Western Pennsylvania. Well . . . It was so nice to return the Pittsburgh's original micro-brewery. The history, the food, the beer - All fantastic! My fave of the Day: Their seasonal "Tangerine Swirl" is subtle and drinkable on a sunny 88 degree day, yet still does not stray far from the classic lagers.
Amazing beers, fantastic fare, and great service. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of everything we ordered. We will def be back.
I can't believe it was my first time to the brewery ! The food was absolutely delicious , beer was amazing , and our waiter Patrick was attentive and wonderful ! Will be back soon !
This place has been a family favorite for years. Great beer, great food (especially the cheese curds). I could come here twice a month and unfortunately do for beer runs because my local beer guy is charging almost double what you can get here. If you come now get the chocolate meltdown!
Good as usual. Must have hired some waitresses from out of the area though, not that friendly. Bummer.
Excellent food, loved it! Great beer, clean establishment. Friendly service.
Wondering why tho, there's a handful of employees doin absolutely nothing but standing around . They gettin paid to be on their cell phones and eat?
Great beer, good food, ok service, reuben was good, penn dark was excellent
Great beer selection. The wait for a table was long but it's Saturday night so that was expected. The food was good I had the stroganoff and the beef was tender and grilled perfectly
Best German food in pgh. Great to visit during Oktoberfest too
Great beer selection and yummy food. Lots of stairs, though, so wheelchair navigation may be more than difficult.
Very Good Authentic German Beers. Blows Hofbraus away!!!
Good people, awesome staff, and the food is pretty good also!
Love this place! Only giving four stars because they need more parking - especially during Oktoberfest, which is the best!
Has spirit, not sure if you're allowed to park out back, street parking isn't easy but definitely worth it.
Very nice dog area for dogs. Our two bulldogs love the biergarten.
Fabulous hearty German style food . A great place for food an brews with friends
Authentic German/Polish style food, great beers (Make the Berliner-Weisse a full time beer!)
I live in the Heinz Lofts and love taking my guests over to the Penn Brewery, for lunch or dinner. It's such a unique Pittsburgh / North Shore spot and there is something for everyone! Outdoor seating in the summer, is limited but lovely. The ambiance inside is quaint and fun, with picnic table style seating. The food is great, with vegetarian options as well! Every time I have gone, our server has recommended great beers! No complaints, for this place!
The variety in the menu allows a large group of people to find something for everybody. The cost also is a wide range. The few meals that I had here were all perfectly cooked and had incredible flavor. I sat at the bar and talk to Ron the bartender and he was very familiar with the process of how the food was prepared. This was very helpful in choosing which meals to try.
We got the large sampler and shared it between two of us. The full sampler is about 50 oz of variety of beer. So it's plenty for two people to share.
Great service and great beer! The flight pours are huge!
We had a horrible time there at new year's eve, the waitress had a horrible attitude. A friend took us there, but there's no way I'll go back by myself
#vegetarianfriendly #eatoutside #datenight good food. Great staff.
Food was OK. Beer is very good not a bad one on the menu.
Not what they showed on tv they didn't have the 13 kind of bacon BLT that's what we went for the fries were very salty but the hamburger was good service was very very slow
Its not a visit to Pittsburgh without visiting Penn great German food and beer
I had the Vegetable Flatbread. It was a large portion for an appetizer. Definitely enough for two people. This was followed by the Balsamic Chicken. Large portion and delicious. I'm a big eater but I had to take leftovers home. The food was excellent! My waitress Rhonda was top notch. I picked up some Penn Dark for the house. This is great dark German beer. By the way, the dessert selection is on the table on a flip card, not on the regular menu. I would recommend Penn Brewery to others.
Beer is good, food is good, but missing something-?.
Great beers and food. Fun place to sip on a pint and have dinner
Had a good time and love the ambiance here. DJ was our bartender. He was super helpful and knowledgable of the beer. Good times!
Excellent food, excellent beer... What more do you need to say?
Penn Brewery is a great place to eat. You can sample all six of their year round beers for $10. Food was good, I got the portabella Philly
Good beer, great Fish and Chips and excellent service all in a very cool setting. If you are in town, definitely a place to check out.
I have eaten at penn brewery many times . but today the sandwiches where good but the sides and app: where bad buffalo chicken dip taste like blue cheese the coleslaw was also bad
I randomly picked this restaurant on my trip through Pittsburgh tonight. Lovely atmosphere and the food was fantastic. Michael, thank you for your service and making it a great experience
Absolutely love coming here! Fresh beer, pierogies, and sausages, what more could a guy want?
Good food, good service,great beer. Will definitely be going back
We came in for our anniversary and chose Penn Brewery because my husband loves beer and I liked the history of the Brewery. The Brewery is absolutely beautiful, the food was good, my husband loved the beers he tried, and our waitress was amazing. We will be back for sure!
The beer was great, and the food was very good too. I had a reuben and my wife had a kielbasa, and both were delicious. Our server was a bit inattentive and seemed somewhat distracted; my wife ordered a beer, it didn't show up, the server came back 10 minutes later and asked again if she wanted a drink, then was surprised and flustered when my wife replied that she had already asked for one. Other than that, a great experience.
Was in the process of making reservation when I called with a simple question and got nothing but attitude from employee who answered the phone..guess I ll be taking my 15 top table elsewhere
Reuben is awesome and their biercheese is top notch!
A neat little place to have a beer and some good food too. Great conversation to boot! A solid brewer since 1986 with a great mainstay line of beers and some tasty seasonals. Don't let the location be a distraction, it's definitely worth the visit. Thanks to Gene for a great experience!
Food was awesome and the service was great even their servers go out of their way to help handicap people.
Very beautifully decorated place with good ambiance and surroundings. Staff is very friendly and polite, always keen to help the people. I have always seen a nice crowd at this place.
Great beer, food, and affordable in an very authentic German setting!
The food is pretty decent, sometimes.. menu has changed for the worse recently. But what remains is rude, short, rushed (even when not busy) bar staff.. I've tried the place multiple times.. seems they don't even have a min to answer questions about menu. For sure last time I'll be here.
Penn Brewery operates a great and fun oktober fest! one of the best places in Pittsburgh, sorry no hazy IPAs here bros
The food was great and the beer really hit the spot. Had the sausage platter and it filled me up. Check it out when you have a chance!
Waited at 10 minutes for a waitress to recognize we had been set. Our food took for ever even our appetizers. Disappointed.
We loved our server Audrey so much we came back a second night. Better beer AND better food than the similar style chain (starts with hofbr...).
Penn Pilsner is my favorite, but they're all good.
Great experience.great food reasonably priced fast service great coffee. great . Just a great place for great food and drinks.
Great microbrew with a unique historic atmosphere, solid service and a menu with local flavor for every taste.
A real gem that is often not given the credit it deserves for providing a real taste of Pittsburgh in a setting to match. The food is a well made mix of classic German and unique Euro-American gastro pub faire, with the beer always tasting the best right out of the taps brewed on site. Great for both quick drinks and snacks or big parties and the like.
The food was horrible.
Beer was fine.
Don't look for my business again.
Nothing that German food should be
A long time ago when Tom Pastorius founded Penn brewery along with great beer came with great German food.
The food was tasty, but ordered takeout and only discovered once home that we only received 3 of the 4 pierogi we ordered. Disappointing.
Awesome beer and great service! The food was great as well! We especially enjoyed the Great Lakes walleye dip! Will definitely be back!
Very good german food, pretty authentic - just a couple of slight variations for the most part.
Their Beer is also very good.
Overall, definitely a place to try, if not revisit.
One of my favorite places. Hosted a rehearsal dinner here and they couldn't have been nicer to work with. The German Potato Salad, Potato Pancakes and Apple Strudel are not to be missed!
Good atmosphere without being crowded, along with personable service. The beer was pretty good (Kaiser Pilsner, Tangerine Swirl). The food was cooked well, even though the steak a little over seasoned and pierogies a little underdone. The menu had some more interesting choices like the fried cheese curds which paired well with the Dijon dipping sauce.
Would absolutely come back again! We were disappointed the keychain was sold out, but will try again next time we're in Pittsburgh.
Sorry for the poor review, but it reflects the poor service we received. The place wan't even busy and our service was painfully slow. Server had a very poor attitude. Our portions were noticeably smaller than I remember, but the food was good. We would have spent more money on drinks if we had a decent server, but we went elsewhere.
Brittany was wonderful! Beer is great, but food was amazing! Eat and have a beer,you won't be disappointed.
