201 N 2nd Ave, Elizabeth“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!”

106 Tropiano Ln, Irwin“Have stopped in here on a few occasions, with no complaints. If I can't find something I'm looking for, the employees are more than willing to help you find what it is you need. Prices are comparable to other beer distributors in the area.”
9AM - 9PM
109 Blue Spruce Way, Murrysville“Wide variety of wines and spirits. Very helpful and friendly staff. Store is clean and well laid out. It's worth taking a look in the clearance section. Good finds at times. The only downside is the parking lot. Too small for the many stores and restaurants in the plaza. Almost impossible to park near the store.”
“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).”
“Balson Beer Distributors is AMAZING!! Owner Nick went above and beyond for my husband and I when we needed a beer delivery. He provided us with an exceptional level of customer service and was extremely helpful in recommending beers and quantities. When we arrived at our wedding the beer as promised and was cooled for our guests. Thank you again Nick and the rest of the wonderful employees at Balson Beer Distributors who helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! Megan & Justin”

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.”
“Superb selection of craft and local beers. The entire staff are customer ready & friendly. Handicappedaccessible doors and wide aisle . Yes if your having a big event shopping carts. Don’t forget about the ICE!! Thank you for your excellent business matters. Promotional Sales events should be 5-7 instead of 4-6 fokes are just getting ready to head home for the evening. Awesome frosty location. Best regards always.?”
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”
“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!”
9AM - 9PM
739 Monongahela Ave North, Glassport“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.”
10AM - 8:30PM
112 Elm St, Clairton“Ever the beer distributor closed down located on St Clair I have been coming here. The guys who work there are very nice. The prices are decent & it's enough room to move around”
“The owners are great! Always taking requests for newer beverages. They have tastings sporadically throughout the month so you can try something you wouldn’t normally buy and see if you like it. Great place to start your weekend off right. ;-)”
“look all i wish this place would do would be to put a sign up if their hours will be different for things like the superbowl. even if they closed at 7 today there could be signage beforehand (i have no idea if they werent open at all today which is another issue)”
“They are always very friendly, and have offered to order what I want if they don't have it in stock. Very convenient when we need ice for our coolers. Coldest ice in town!”
“We have to stop here when we are on vacation. They don't have Yuengling where we are from. They were extremely helpful and kind. The place is a little hard to find, but once you know it is here, they have a decent selection of beer. Will help load your car as well.”
9AM - 9:30PM
11689 Penn Hills Dr, Pittsburgh“Huge selection of major brands and craft beer, cider, sparkling water, hard soda, moonshine, and anything else you can think of, plus cigars and snacks. It's spring but you can still find pumpkin beers! Staff is always friendly.”
“I love this one and the one in my main Town more than any other location due to the fact that everybody's unhinged, no matter which one is better to go to, but this place seems to be normal always have what I need and I will always be going here any holiday I stopped off in Elizabeth.”
“I just experienced the BEST customer service around! Not just for a beer distributor - for any business period! Friendly, helpful, quick, & easy! Reminded me of old, old times! Not the nearest to my home, but easily worth the trip to support this local business! It's so refreshing to not feel like you're being a pain in the a$$ when you're buying something! Great job!”
