Went last night and found that during Oktoberfest, this German themed place reduced the menu to a very limited selection instead of adding Oktoberfest themed items, but the reason we had to get up and leave - which I've never done before - was the poor service. It took 15 minutes for the waitress to come greet us, then 27 minutes for our beer to arrive. Waitress never came back to take our food order, waited for another 20 minutes and decided to just pay for the beer and leave. And no, it wasn't crowded at all...
Please avoid. This used to be a Pittsburgh "Have to go" restaurant. Food, service, environment were extremely poor at best. This was during Octoberfest when the place should shine, but actually was the worst. Will never go back.
Oktoberfest = October or is my math off we do things backwards these days.
Went for Oktoberfest the past two years and had a wonderful time. Only thing to keep in mind if you're going for Oktoberfest is parking. It's incredibly difficult to find a good parking spot.
Went to an event for the symphony last night. It was a German night. The food was so bad, I got food poisoning from this restaurant and other people got it as well. Horrible!
Amazing food, beer, service and memories! A++++
Great beer and food! The best Oct Fest!
The brewery has a bar capacity of about 10 people. The food was good but it took awhile for it to be served and it wasn't a busy evening.
Been to the brewpub many, many times. The courtyard is a mess. Needs some TLC in a bad way. At least make some attempt to have it look presentable. Perhaps clean the tables? Clear the cobwebs? What happened to the hanging flower baskets every summer? And sweep out the piles of trash in the garage. Come on.
Beer and food were great! Atmosphere was really cool!

I love the fish sandwich!
Heather was a true pleasure, she was full of knowledge about different beers and history of the brewery and it's caves. We will return someday because of her warm welcome and pleasant personality.
Thank you Heather for making our first visit to Penn brewery a GREAT experience.
Oh..
And all of the beers were delicious too
Enjoy the beer but don't come for the food. Plus card fees.
In town for a concert. Sat at the bar for a meal and a beverage ahead of time. Loved their beer selection and the German cuisine (mmmm potato salad!). Thanks!
My wife and I had a great time at this brew pub. Food and drink were both delicious. And Heather our server was amazing!
