Strange Roots Experimental Ales

Fun beer and great folks. They put things together that you will not fine elsewhere. I enjoyed their offerings

Great food and great beers! We love the outdoor area and always have a great time when we come here!!

Great spot to stop in and visit for a drink. Not sure why there are so many bad reviews for the bartender(s), we found them knowledgeable and polite. The partnership with Pittsburgh Sandwich Society is a great one; the smash burger was divine, so good we finished the first ones and had to order seconds. It's everything you need it to be, greasy and melty with fresh veggies on top. The setup is a little strange with the fact that you order through your phone and never see anyone, but I would guess that's how they keep from needing a full wait staff. We still tipped based on the awesomeness of the burger alone. Lots of seating outside, a little too hot during the day but would be awesome on a cool evening. Street parking is ideal. Brews were solid. Will be back for sure

Both the food and the beers we tried were underwelming. Burgers were good, but the⁰ chicken club was overcooked and tough. Fries were cold, soggy and oddly served with potato chip crumbs in them. Beer was fine (funky dory saison and zomp ipa) but unremarkable, especially for a place advertising unique brews. Probably won't go back. On the upside, it does have a nice outdoor area and trendy vibes for a hangout spot.

Love the vibe here! There are so many fun beers to try. You can order food here too. Lots of outdoor seating too!

First time here.
Nathan, the bartender, was a consummate professional.
I was impressed with his rapier wit and charming sarcasm. He has nice shoes and smelled neutral.
If you don’t like this guy it’s you, not him.
I bet all of his exes still like him and their parents still invite him to Thanksgiving.
He showed me pictures of his dog and the figurines he collects. That was nice.
He said he liked my hat and that was also nice.
He told a joke about Coors Light being like having marital relations in a canoe because they’re both effin’ close to water. That made me laugh, which was also nice.
Beers were good enough that I’m leaving a review at 9:30pm on a Wednesday.
Burger was good, came out in 15 minutes.
Nathan should go get a job at that Italian place I slagged off in my last review.
Didn’t use the washroom but I’m sure it’s tastefully decorated and doesn’t smell worse than average.

The beers are good and they rotate regularly so its always worth checking back if they don't have anything your speed that day. The Pittsburgh Sandwich Society food is also fantastic so its worth swinging by just for that.

Great vibe, good beer with a wide selection, and good food

Pretty fun place! They did a great job muffling the noise of the street and sitting outside with life music. So peaceful and nice! Can't wait to come back

Went with some friends before a concert tonight it was pretty dead really excited it was all our first time there bartender was extremely rude when we asked about food and drinks so we were in a very back comer ordered off our phones then started getting a couple pic (again in the very back corner) the bartender then came up and yelled at us we all ordered food and drinks and tipped I will never return to this establishment with the way their customer service is (I’m a bartender myself and understand the struggle but there’s no reason to ever treat customers like that)

Bartender was rude from the start. I had my friends take some photos of me in front of the mural wall with the instagram handle, I was gonna tag the brewery and say what a great time we had. The bartender came over and rudely asked us to stop having a photoshoot. What’s the point of a mural wall and instagram handle if you can’t take pictures. It’s a bar, not a 5 star restaurant, my friends and I were having fun until that point. The food and drinks were below average too. Will not be going back.

I wanted to like this place but it came up short for me.

Give me a full-size beer if you're charging the price of a full-size beer. These aren't high-strength beers. You don't need the snifter. These should be served in regular pint glasses. Most breweries only break out the snifter when you're around 9% ABV or more, which I can understand. There is no reason a 5.8% beer should be served in one. The beer was good - I just needed more of it for that price! I could go to another funky experimental brewery in the area (Abjuration comes to mind) and get a full-size beer for the price of the snifter here with no reduction in quality.

The food also left something to be desired. My partner and I both got hot chicken sandwiches. There was a big size discrepancy between the two with mine being a lot larger than hers. Hers also had a weird fatty piece that was inedible and gross. Flavor was decent but some QC could have helped out here. They also came to $20 each with the side which is about $4-$5 more than most other places. It just wasn't worth it.

I'll probably give this place another shot because I did like the beer, but it may be a while. I'll update then if anything changes.

I gave this a 2 because of the very rude bartender Nathan. When asking if there were any beers without fruity flavors or something similar to a lager Nathan answered in a derogatory tone “you want a Coors Light” and snickered.
I politely said no like a Sam Adams. Ended up with a sour beer which was ok.
The I order a burger to share with my brother and when I asked for a knife to cut it in half he said they did not have knives. I pointed out that there is a kitchen and I am sure they have knives and he insisted they were a separate company and refused to ask the kitchen to cut the burger in half.
My brother used his utility knife to cut the burger which was good. Not great. The fries were a bit mushy.
I had no expectations when entering the establishment but I did not expect to be treated so rudely and will never go again.
It might do the owners some good to have the bartenders give a bit of a spiel on the brewing theory instead of insulting customers when asking recommendations on a beer choice.

What a fun little spot! Mary Poppins is here.

Always a great tap list! Good location and good eats available.
