friendly bartenders. Tastes available for free. Wide variety of beers. Great views of the river. Pet friendly. Dogs welcomed in outside patio area. Large seating areas indoors including booths. Hard to find, tho, as it's a small hidden away type of place with very small parking area. Worth looking for if wanting river front ambiance. Small menu for appetizer type food.

Beer was ok , food menu is ridiculousA small ranch dressing size cup of nuts was like 6 bucks ?!? One small piece of pizza I think was also 6 bucks , I suggest eating before you go to avoid getting ripped off I’m curious who was the person thought up that menu .Good way to lose all your customers

We visited the new taproom last night for the first time.The good: Beautiful space, nice and large, love the bar, can't wait for nice weather to be outside.The bad: cashless- why? We prefer to pay in cash as we go. But of course they accept cash tips- we will be using card for everything and closing each time. The beers were good, not great but good. No prices on the menu so we were surprised to see them ring up as $7 and $8 each. That's just way too much. We went for the food but saw a slice of pizza ranges from $6-8 and you can't buy a full pie. Absolutely not, you've lost your mind.Overall- might be back but not making a special trip. Disappointed as we loved 10.7 the last 2 seasons and kayaking/drinking there. On the hunt for a new place

Great beers! The new place is going to be really nice in the summer when you can sit outside.

Acclamation!! 10 out of 10 will return. I wish they allowed dogs inside but perhaps perfection is always a work in progress.

Visited this cozy taproom for the first time recently and we were impressed. I had a Belgian style beer which was delicious. There are games and some light snacks and I appreciated how kind and friendly the bartender was. He gave us a great rundown of all the beers. Apparently, the brewery is about to move closer to the water in Verona into a bigger space. This location was a little secluded so I'm sure the move will be awesome For them. Looking forward to visiting the new spot this summer and spending more time in Verona.

Outstanding brews, location, and staff. Love that they sponsor dog friendly events!! As a dog owner — it’s one of my favorite! They even get treats when we visit ❤️. So excited for the new location!!!!!!And to the grouchy guy who left a bad review— this bar is Iris approved!

This place is great. Been all over the city, and they IMO have the best brews around. Every time I go there there’s something new and better. ??

This place is incredible. It is small, but mighty. We have visited many breweries around the Pittsburgh area, and we find their beers, to be better than the best. Every time we go there, we find a new brew that we really appreciate. Great vibes, great employees and great beer. What more could you ask for.

Best local spot around. I’ve been here with and without my kids and I always feel comfortable! Great for one drink or a night out. Jordan and Jessie make me want to come back again and again!
Had a great beer and great conversation at Acclamation! Grabbed a few to go, exited to come back.

Dogs on your lap at the bar. REALLY?

I have to kind of split this review up. The stars go to the brewery, which wasn't what I expected but not bad. I went there for a (supposed), food truck I had heard about.Ay 4:00, or very close to it, the place was dark and empty, but the guy sweeping up immediately turned the lights on and offered to help me. I explained that I was there for the food truck pierogies I had heard so much about. In the meantime, I scoped the place out and asked a few questions.The first thing I noticed was the size of the place. The indoor area is small, with 2 small tables seating probably 6 at the most. The bar has 6 seats and the rail at the side windows have another 12. That is the whole place.It is a very small venue.There is seating outside, and that area is much larger, but with the weather turning colder, I expect most of the action will shift inside.There was no one there when I went, so I couldn't give a good indication of the crowd interaction. This was on a Friday afternoon, so I would have expected a bit more action, but there was none. The place must be dog friendly, given that there are at least 2 small displays inside, one for dog treats and one that features bandanas for pets.The walls are decorated with paintings by a local artist, Sara Watkins. The paintings cover a wide range of subjects, many of local flavor, in a pop art style.While I waited for the arrival of the food truck, I chatted with the person behind the bar. He was very good at customer service, answering any questions I had and recommending beers I might like. We settled on a Helle's Lager called Grainbow Brite that I found quite good.I only wish I had gotten his name.Along the way, he pointed out that the pierogi lady had arrived. I will admit to being somewhat of a snob about my pierogi. I come from a family where women would get together every now and then, crowding our small kitchen and spending an afternoon turning out hundreds of the potato and cheese filled pillows.Being from McKees Rocks, you could find homemade pierogi at any time, just about everywhere. The quality was outstanding and the area seemed to have a real handle of how to make the best tasting versions of the dish. I didn't even know there were different varieties until much later, since even the sauerkraut filled ones weren't sold in my area.Churches all over the area were jammed every Friday during lent, turning out great fish dishes, (mostly sandwiches and all different), and tons of pierogi. We had one of the first solely pierogi places anywhere right on Island Ave in a converted gas station. When I say that I'm kind of an expert on pierogi, you can take my word for it.Along with the churches, most bars competed with each other for the best beer battered fish sandwiches.On this day, there was no food truck. A few things were pulled out of a sport utility wagon and set up under a tent, the type you would find at a farmer's market or flea market. A lone electric skillet sat on a makeshift table.To say it was a rinky dink set up would be an understatement.I discovered that it was cash only, since the pierogi lady informed me that she did not know how to process a card for payment. I started to explain that using square attached right to a phone, but she either wasn't listening or didn't care. She just had a blank look on her face.She explained that she had made some special pierogi, described as a Thanksgiving dinner in a pierogi. Regular pierogi were 2 for $5, while the Thanksgiving ones were 2 for $7. I requested 2 orders of the regular ones and one of the Thanksgiving.I was informed that she was combining the regular ones in a single styrofoam container, since she didn't bring that many containers with her.She pulled my pierogi from a cooler and began frying them in her electric skillet. I noted that there were very few onions in the mix, just a few tiny pieces for at least 4 large pierogi. I will admit that they were larger than the ones I've seen previously, about double the size of the frozen grocery store varieties.I took my o

My wife and I enjoy the beer and the friendliness. Very relaxed atmosphere. One of our favorite breweries.
