“Great, friendly service. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our growing industry in high-end micro-brew. But you can still get yourself a low cost case of whatever you please, too.”
“Love coming here to peruse the shelves and get new things to try! I’m a creature of habit so being able to go and taste helps me try new things and they are always super helpful. They have a wide selection, I’m always pleased to see they have single cans just in case you don’t want to commit to a six or twelve pack of something you may not like. Also the staff is just super nice, good people, and always pleasant to talk to while you browse. This is a must visit place for non-alcoholic beverages if you’re in Pittsburgh, visitor or resident.”
“Beer88 is my go-to place before a party, the selection is exceptional and the staff is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. As a recent non-alcoholic drinker, and I was unsure if Beer88 would have anything for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing selection of so many types of non-alcoholic beer, and some non-alcoholic wine. Beer88 is my go-to for all parties from now on. Highly recommend coming to see what new selection is in store”
“Great selection of beers and wines for any taste ✨ They also have wine/beer tasting events! And they have some seating in case if you would like to have a small gathering”
“Already reviewed when the place first opened but I love coming here. It's super convenient and the staff members are super nice and always helpful. Always have a positive experience when I come here”
“Been coming here since I was a kid now only buying water but nonetheless is still a great place. It’s hard to find 5 gallon top or bottom style water cooler refills and they have it reasonably priced actual springwater and if you need some of that courage in the bottle personality enhancing nectar they got plenty of that too.. always best pricing around. And the famous one for the road slushy bar machines,someday I’ll get one”
“So good! I appreciate that they have Arsenal all over the city, but nothing like trying all the variety at the cider house itself. I love the drier stuff and the broken hearts was a winner for me. My partner got a ginger one and that was also delicious. Friendly staff and nice cozy place. Outside was spacious and we were lucky enough to snag a spot by the fire pit. A Pittsburgh must.”

1304 Federal St, Pittsburgh“They had dollar tallboys of cider. Fire. Smells like cigarettes but in a warm and comforting way. Makes you wanna leave the store quickly. Keeps you on task. Great space. High ceilings.”
“Edit because I didn't think people actually read these.Staff is absolutely wonderful and go above and beyond to provide excellent service. Good selection of drinks, tobacco, etc. My children love stopping in with me because lollipops of course! Overall you walk in being treated like a family friend instead of just a customer and will not be disappointed.Side note, the remodel of the store is gorgeous and inviting.”
“If you’re not a local please note you’re not going to find alcohol at the local gas station or grocery store. You need a PA state run liquor store.How incredibly convenient to have included one in The Waterfront complex. Thereafter, this location is an exceptional ambassador for this chain. From entry to exit we were greeted, they came to us vs finding help, laughed along the way and just good people. Extra shoutout to Kathy who nailed what we didn’t even know we were looking for and at an exceptional price. The place is huge, bright and has a very good selection. Pricing was reasonable as well. We will return!”

5956 Centre Ave #201, Pittsburgh“So this is my regular wine and spirit store that I go to, it's big and spacious and always clean. The staff is always friendly and polite which creates a great shopping experience.”
9AM - 10PM
10 Old Clairton Rd, Pittsburgh“Sometimes shop here for a holiday or special event or for a gift, though I could count the times on one hand over the past two years. Very good selection, though I would hardly think of myself as a wine expert.
They do offer tasting events. Check their website.
If you cook and use alcohol (such as cognac) in a dish, you will find a good selection of sample bottles.
You may also find a genteel employee who reminds me of a polo patron.”
“These guys are the best in the area. They have amazing customer service, staff is always friendly, and they offer to hold something for you if they have it in stock and one left. I also love their commitment to having local breweries in their offerings. I try to give them all my business because they are so great to deal with. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Great local options to choose from including, Hitchhiker and Grist house, and lots of other locals. Well & of course all the classics you expect to see at a beer distributor. We are regulars for sure”
“Nice little place for beer and a decent selection for the size of the store. A little tight inside but, I don’t mind because of the wider selection being the reason. Prices are reasonable too. In and out type of parking (meaning: there’s not a lot of parking space but you’re really just going in and not spending much time in there so, it’s ok for the situation).”
9AM - 10PM
3845 Northern Pike, Monroeville“This state operated liquor store has wide selection. They have wine tasting every week. The time I went, there was sake from different regions from Japan. Very neat. Staff are friendly and willing to offer their recommendation. The downside is the traffic jam getting in and out from that plaza, especially Friday and Saturdays.”
“Employees are super friendly and are the ONLY place in a 20 mile radius that carries my husband favorite beer. It's extremely clean. Very reasonable prices.”
9AM - 9PM
1955 Wharton St, Pittsburgh“Marcy took care of me! I walked in here two days after my 21st knowing nothing about anything. She was so sweet, she really set me up right. Respected my budget and was genuinely excited to show me to where the good stuff was. I'm telling all my friends this is the spot. Thanks for a hype bday Marcy!”
“Lovely location with an awesome staff. Had a family member get sick over the holidays and Melanie was wonderful. She was able to locate my order over the phone and return two of the unused bottles in store. She never hesitated to search for my order and print my receipt, when I was the one who declined the receipt at the time of purchase. Never have we returned liquor, but with the stomach bug, we couldn’t risk our friends/family getting sick. We are not big drinkers outside of holidays, so to get the $70 back was very nice. 10/10 would recommend. Clean facility, great selection, and thoughtful team members.”
“Super professional, always courteous, and the one woman ,Kris she is absolutely beautiful my son James has the biggest crush on her we work for the person who owns the building so we dee what goes on behind the scenes and its a great place”
“Helpful for gift selections ,helpful polite employees, convenient location,nextdoor to post office ,and other convenient stores on same block,handicap parking spaces available if needed”
9AM - 9:30PM
11685 Penn Hills Drive, Pittsburgh“It's always well staffed. It's always well stocked. But they have armed security in this store. And in the shopping center. We were attacked by a shopper down by Giant eagle just a couple weeks ago. Guy tried to pull us out of our car. I just took off and called the cops. It's getting crazy up here”
“Absolutely massive selection of craft beers, great store and easy to get to. Prices are decent, a little on the high end but expected. Worth the stop if you have the time”
“I always drive in and out so quickly with no hold up; the staff is always on task. Also, every time I go, I get a handle full of lollipops. “So kind”! Love this place!”
“Nice selection convenient location bear home and work. Why was I charged $2 more for a 12 pack when I bought two last week? Different person behind the register!”
“Always good+ service when I shop there no complaints. High Five to Noah... I would like to make a request get some Buddy Brews Tshirts made up for the Tshirt collectors out there and also mention Southside pa on it with the zip code 15203.”
“It was quite busy on Wednesday when I went. But it was worth it. They have a deal on pizza, 75 cents a slice with your choice of toppings. Another plus is that you can take pizza to go. The only downside is that there was only two waitress running back and forth. But it was worth the wait. The pizza reminded me of pizza I got in my youth. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.”
