Latest reviews from Indiana

“A solid brewpub in Indiana, PA. A large place with a large bar and plenty of tables. Large projection screens showing sports. They had quite a number of beers on tap, all solid offerings, especially their session IPA. I also got the nachos which were delicious. I wanted to order more food but couldn't place my order before the kitchen closed. The food menu is pretty short and mostly just sandwiches. Obviously there is not much else in this area, but the beer is really good and worth a stop. Hours are somewhat limited.“

“5 or so contract beers and maybe another 15-20 Mid-Atlantic region taps. Solid options but nothing you wouldn’t be able to attain elsewhere. Staff is friendly. Lots of different seating areas and options. I’ve only had the food once, and it was fine. I wouldn’t call it a destination spot even if driving through Indiana, but you’d have a fine time here.“

“Large tap selection, heavy on Pennsylvania beers. Nothing rar or earth-shattering, but there’s usually 2-3 really nice locals on tap. Food is stereotypical college bar food (though their Steel City Slicker wing sauce is very flavorful). Heavy on the college bar feel.“

“Converted warehouse with HUGE ceilings and open concept. Mix of small and tall tops, small and community tables. 10-12 beers on tap with a couple of guest local ciders & meads. Half pours, flights, etc.

Levity is my favorite place in Indiana, for two reasons. One, the staff are polite, professional, and personable. Two, the beers are consistently solid. We’re not talking world class or massive. Instead, they make representative, drinkable beers. Put another way: I’ve noticed that when I see the description of their beer, my expectation is right in line with how it ends up tasting. First place I visited when I moved to Indiana and probably the first place I’d take friends.“

“Best tap selection in Indiana at the time of this review: large variety of styles with a mix of local, regional, national, and a few import drafts. Burger and cheesesteaks (not authentic) were surprisingly flavorful. Outside of the breweries, this is where I’d recommend any beer geek go if they find themselves in Indiana.“

“Nice amount of seats but primarily large benches (not much in form of 2 or 4 people options). Nice variety of taps with mix of regular and rotating specials. Beers tend to be on the maltier/sweeter end of their styles. Nice place overall and definitely worth a visit if in town.“

“Ample parking and very spacious patron area. One of the largest interiors I’ve seen of any local brewpub. Nice varied selection of 6 styles on tap and all solid beers with a couple exceptionally good ones. Moderate prices. Samples range from $2 - $3 and growlers are ~ $15. Very friendly people with good customer service skills. Its about and hour away from Pittsburgh but is well worth the trip. They have only been open for ~ 6 weeks and are doing well. If they can arrange a food partnership and get some of this stuff bottled that would be a major step forward. Great place.“

“Opened in Spring 2016 - it’s half of Boomie’s bar, upgraded with nicer decor and the outdoor patio. Service is friendly and prompt. Tap list is decent, but other than their contract brews (Full Pint), it’s pretty standard regional stuff. Food menu is ambitious and they focus on their burgers (locally sourced meat) with a lot of creative combinations. However, the one I had focused on the toppings and not the actual burger, which was hardly seasoned and kinda bland. Room for improvement.“

“Beer distributor with lots of craft and import cases. Great service and knowledgeable staff; willing to get you what you want if they don’t currently have it. On their website, they also have a blog that allows buyers to trade parts of cases, so a few folks can go together to each buy a case and swap some of the six packs in them - allowing one to try more beers for the same price.“

“Indiana’s first microbrewery, located in an industrial warehouse store-front. Nicely appointed with reclaimed woods and local artwork. Service is terrific. You can sit and enjoy flights or pints, or get a growler to go. Several styles are always on tap, and are clean and well-made. No loud music or blaring TVs, there are always a ton of folks hanging out and enjoying one another’s company. Cash and cards accepted. Child friendly. On-site parking. Also accessible from the Hoodlebug trail (rails to trails), located a mile south of trail head that starts at Hoss’s. Definitely a ’must stop’ if in town. But if they happened to be closed, there are several bars in town that carry one or more of their beers on tap.“

“One of the newest places in town, opened in Fall 2013. So Brunzies is not a college bar, or even a townie bar. There is an eclectic mix of folks here no matter when you step through the doors. On a Friday evening at dinner, there will be families with small children, young professionals, townies and some students, and even a table full of 70-80 year olds. Classic rock on the stereo, sports on the big screens, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere all around. Truly a neighborhood pub feel. The food menu is one page, shared with Subs n Suds next door, but it’s good food and unassuming. They have a 20-tap system, glycol-chilled with short lines. About 60-70% is dedicated to really good craft beer, with the remaining taps for BMC/Guinness/Labatt/etc. Chris is great about getting hard to find one-offs and quarter barrels to keep things interesting. Happy hour from 9-11, half off draughts and other drinks.“

“A sports bar opened in Fall 2012, connected to Steel City Samiches. In summer 2013, they added more taps to total 20 and at least half of those are dedicated to craft beer. Current food menu is pretty much the same as Steel City, however they will be revamping this in the next few months to offer upscale non-bar type food, small plates, handcrafted burgers, etc. Nice back bar with decent whiskey/scotch/vodka offerings, hard milkshakes. Good array of seasonal beers and special events. Once the 7th Street-scape project is finished, they will expand their patio for more outdoor dining options. This is a place to watch for in the coming years, as they strive to become more than just another college town sports bar.“

“Look it - this place is all about "cheap drinks and lousy food".....and it succeeds. Deep fried favorites, burgers and wings....all are tasty and affordable. Beer selection in marginal at best, with the occasional micro the beer rep is pushing appearing. Turns in to college crowd at night. Good place to watch a game though.“

“The haunt of all local haunts. The beer selection has improved over the years, both on tap and bottled beer of the month. Food is usual bar/pub fare, wings and other deep fried goodies, burgers and sandwiches. They branch out a bit and offer some randomness like beans and rice with blackened chicken which is one of my favorites. If you find yourself in town, stop in for a pint and some eats.“

“If you want a case of anything craft in Indiana, this is the place to go. Great service. Kathy will get anything she can in for you. Price is a bit higher than Pittsburgh Distributors, but it saves you the drive, and the fact that it’s local is always a plus. And you can get Straub cans for ridiculously cheap.....just sayin’/“

“Other than the occasional local micro, this place is really about macro beers and regionals like Sam Adams. Focus is a sports bar with cheap food and pitcher specials. Nice if you want to watch a game, but not to get good beer.“

“Nice family restaurant, slightly upscale dining. Old Victorian style house inside, with covered patios in the back. Great ambiance. Good food, not too overpriced. Recently added a new 15-tap system with good micros available. Open for lunch and dinner, with bar service until 11pm during ’good’ weather seasons.“

“This place caters to the college crowd. It does offer a great environment to watch the game though. After 9 pm it turns into drama central with shot girls and college kids. Not much beer selection. Basic BMC’s. Small tap selection which consisted of SA Boston Lager, lindemann’s framboise kriek, harp, yuengling, etc. Don’t expect a whole lot, it says on the sign "cheap drinks and lousy food".“

“This store opened in November, 2011. The cafe area allows you to have up to two beers on premises with food. There are six packs, build your own six packs, and larger bottles for take out (within the state law limit of 192oz per order). Decent starting selection, with many PA and regional micros, national brands, and some imports. Chimay, Ommegang, Stone, Southern Tier, 21st Amendment, Orval, Troegs, and Dogfish Head to name a few. Prices are average to above average for the area, but no more expensive than Pittsburgh prices (slightly lower taxes, too).“

“The main beer distributor in Indiana which supplies many of the six pack stores and bars with their selections. This place has definitely improved in the past several years, and the owner is good about taking requests of stuff she normally doesn’t carry. They get most of their stuff from Vecenie in Pittsburgh. Prices are a little higher than Vecenie, of course, but it saves you an hour drive. They carry tons of PA stuff and bring in some real gems now and again.“

“Best wings I’ve had anytime, anywhere. The beer selection is small, but it is improving. There is always a Penn Brewery dedicated tap, and the the fizzy yellow lagers are slowly being replaced by more reputable beers. Currently, there is Penn Maerzen, Troegs Hopback, Magic Hat #9 on tap. Bottles include DFH 60 Min IPA, Shelter Pale, Bell’s Oberon, and others. Food is great pub fare, and the wings are still my favorite anywhere in the States.“
