Hop Farm Brewing Company — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

PROS: Tasty craft beers, very friendly staff, convenient ordering on your phone. Clean and trendy space with a fun atmosphere for shows and events. Staff offers sample sips of brews on tap; a nice touch for people still learning what they like.

CONS: Slow kitchen service, and not much variety in either food or non-alcoholic drinks. We visited for standup comedy, and my wife does not like beer. I get that it's a brewery, but please throw a couple cans of Diet Coke on ice if you're gonna host a comedy show. Two burgers ($14.50 each, served with store-bought potato chips) and a pretzel app ($8, possibly bought frozen and heated up) took the better part of an hour to come out. (Front-of-house staff seemed just as visibly frustrated as the customers about this.) Burgers and beer tasted great, but with parking also being a nightmare in this neighborhood, I'd say it's decent if you're already in town, but not a place I'd add to my rotation of faves. A few simple fixes could easily sway me to feel...

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My fiance had our friends and family meet us there to celebrate my birthday. We had the BEST TIME!! The place is absolutely spotless and has a huge back room with big tables, Cornhole, a pool table, and a great area to take pictures in front of beer barrels. We had a group of appx 35 people and had plenty of space. The beer was all amazing and the food was SO SO GOOD! They also have lots of vegan options on their menu - you must try the vegan nachos. The manager, Steph, was so kind and attentive to us all day. Delicious beers, delicious food, and a very friendly staff make this brewery...

We checked this place out to try something new and we were more than satisfied. All the beers we tried were fantastic. We tried Adjust your Television, Fresh Pot of Chai, and a nitro stout. I can't remember the name of the nitro stout, but it's what I want a Guinness to taste like. Everything a Guinness misses, their nitro stout fulfills. It was so full flavored and delicious. The bartender was very kind and attentive. We will certainly come back for more beer and relaxation. Also, the food was very good. I got the chicken sandwich and my husband got the fish. Both were great. I'd order both again. 10/10 for sure. I can't wait...
