Gooski's

"Gooski's crackles with the kinetic energy of a dive bar that makes its nut in volume, not markup. The bartenders command the dark, smoky room with the no-nonsense authority of French bistro waiters, able to discern orders over the punk-rock jukebox playlist competing with whatever game is on TV. It's plunked on a steep street in the echt-Pittsburgh neighborhood of Polish Hill, which will never appear gentrified even if it becomes so. "If you needed Yelp to find this place, you don't belong here" is among the passive-aggressive edicts chalked on the wall, but once you're in, you belong." [Esquire]

Brew Gentlemen

"One of the hottest breweries in the state formed its foundation while its owners were just in college. Envisioned as early as 2010 by two Carnegie Mellon students who were homebrewing on campus, Brew Gentlemen finally became official in 2014, just a couple of years after Asa Foster and Matt Katase graduated. Located in a former electrical supply store, Brew Gentlemen mostly makes hop-forward, juicy beers like General Braddock’s India Pale Ale and Mammoth, a DIPA. While their Mise en Rose Collection is devoted to oak barrel-aged farmhouse ales (despite being quite removed from the farm) in offerings like Table Beer and the Exploration & Discovery series."
