Our group went to the Car Cruise on 8-23-25. It was beautiful weather. There were so many amazing vehicles to see. There were no traffic concerns. We got right in. The staff were amazing as usual! I can’t say enough great things about this place. They really put thought into all their events. Thank you for ANOTHER great day in Creighton PA! ❤️

Waited till the DAY before the event to tell people they can't bring coolers to the event; for water, or what have you. That was a dick-move, and will not go to another one of their car evens till they reascend that policy.

I'm reading comments about what a fiasco last year's event was (2024) and then (now, 2025, day of the event) they say you can't bring water in... in August? Glad I'm not there.
Pittsburgh Brewing, get yourself a professional event planner.

The tour was great!

Perfect for Joan Jett. Parking and traffic issues others mentioned earlier seem to be resolved. Good beer, several food trucks! A great evening was had.

Went to the Alabama concert but unfortunately they did not have enough speakers at the event so it was hard to hear them, a large amount of people left early due to this problem.

tickets are crazy expensive especially when you miss half of the concert waiting to get in. Last concert was a muddy mess and the lines to get beer or use the bathroom were a 45 minute wait at least. NEVER AGAIN

You know those notoriously nightmarish festivals that make national news? This venue is like a miniature, half day version of those. First, you can’t get to the venue on time because of the traffic caused by the venue. Then, there’s no food because the volume of people is far higher than the trucks can handle… and the wait time is insane. (Compounding this, they don’t allow you to bring food or water to the venue, even to the parking lot /no tailgating/. And while they open “early” to try to reduce traffic, they don’t factor that into the increased need for food and drink. Topping it off, they set up pitifully few portajohns for the volume of people and the length of time, so those end up with hour wait times and are overflowing. The ground is mud. The air is putrid with the choking vapes, cigarettes, and cigars. And the view is… of the back of people’s heads because the stage is too low for a flat outdoor venue. It’s an overpriced, overcrowded nightmare. It’s a scam at best. Don’t blame the bands, it’s the venue.

Concert on July 13,2025 - disaster. Ticket purchase with GA, parking and fees are approximately 80 - 100$ person. This would include - long lines to get into the parking lot ( some missed the show due to disorganization on entry and parking), clothes and shoes ruined, attempts to walk in 4-6 inches of mud and god knows what else, walking anywhere and avoiding mud and was impossible. No one except for VIP were allowed inside and it was storming…. Not once, but twice.
We made the best of it for as long as we could. Left after shoes suctioned into the mud and another storm was rolling through.
Hopefully the venue improves. It has great potential.
I am reviewing strictly as a concert venue, which they are apparently trying to be even though they are not at all set up to be one. We went to see blues traveler and it was a disaster start to finish. The neighborhood and venue are not set up to accommodate a mass influx of people. It took nearly an hour to drive 1 mile after exiting 28. The outside is a flat grass area without adequate drainage so the place was a mud pit after the days rain. The porta potties were foul. The beer and food lines were long. You could not see the stage due to it being a flat lawn. It sounded like crap. I could go on and on. The people working inside the venue were friendly but this place has no business trying to be a concert venue. Stay away!

The absolute only reason this venue deserves even one star is that the staff was friendly and hard working.
Whoever designed this hellscape of a venue should look for a new job. Zero drainage for the completely level lawn. This is pittsburgh, we get rain, you should be prepared for that. the entire lawn turned into an absolute mud pit. There are no walkways through the lawn so to get from one side to the other was essentially a double dare obstacle course with the prize being nothing. We, unfortunately, chose to sit on the side where they had 4, yes, just 4 port-a-johns. I had the option of standing in line for 25-35 minutes or walking through the mud for more. Trash cans were few and far between and the ones I found were overflowing. I can’t imagine the amount of trash that went into the river last night.
Overall, would never recommend this venue. I’ll never come to concert here again.
*edit to add- I had multiple friends say security never even checked their bags they just let them walk right through. In 2025 those are not chances I’m comfortable with.

Leaving one star is too many for this venue. This was the worst venue, unorganized with long wait lines to get in and the parking was absolutely terrible either way equally long lines. But that’s not the worst part, it was a complete mud pit, there was no way to escape the mud and muck from the rain. There is no drainage and when it rains, it becomes a pit of mud. From talking with other folks, it’s been like this since the inception. These people don’t know how to have a concert venue. The price for the ticket for general admission was $72 plus another $15 for parking. I watched so many ruin outfits and shoes at what was supposed to be a fun night out. People left in droves before the show was even halfway over. I ruined a pair of Hokas in that mud pit. They should be ashamed of themselves for even marketing this as a concert venue. Never again. I’ll attach photos.

Not a good concert venue. Not equipped for a large amount of people. The parking situation is terrible. Very unorganized entry and exit. The venue itself is flat and very muddy with limited rain. Sound and visuals were both poor.

I've been to a number of different venues for big events, but this one takes the cake for being the worst. Bottlenecked traffic for hours, the entire place was a mud pit, price-gauging on parking, food and drink. Was here for a concert and it had it impossible sightlines. If you're thinking about coming here for a big event, let me save you some time- stay home! This place is awful.
Great event space.
