Barley’s and Hop’s

Great selection of bottles. I love that they’re on display... makes it alot easier. Service was slow, not too friendly. Only a few selections on tap, though they were good. Good food too. The dumb thing was that it was in a shopping center type environment, dumb! Hopefully they’ll get better location sometime. Good place though.

I’m from Pittsburgh, but I now live in Utah, and now I realize what I’ve been missing! What a place. Beer everywhere. More than 500 beers, a bunch of great domestics avery, bells, victory, and a ton of imports. The staff and owner are awesome and knowledgeable. The menu has some good Pittsburgh food try the Bratwurst is was great. Overall, awesome and friendly. Not a beer store, much more like a awesome hang out. Tastings every Thursday.

The guys working there have a lot of knowledge. I’ve been there 3 times to buy six pack varieties, and they’ve always been happy to help with recommendations and explanations. I’m hoping that they will someday expand by knocking down one of the neighboring walls in this mini-strip mall. Right now, it gets too crowded for me since it’s so small. They could use another TV or 2 for Pens games (and other sporting events). But these guys seem pretty serious about their business, so I’m sure they’re evaluating the need (if any) for possible expansion. I’m just very glad that there’s a place this close to me with such a giant variety of beers. Oh... they also have free beer tastings on Thursdays. Nice.

This is an interesting bottle shop located in a busy strip mall off route 88. Has 4 taps but only 2 were working when I visited, one of which was Lindeman’s Framboise. On a Saturday afternoon, it was not too busy. Their selection of bottles is quite wide, I saw beers there that I have yet to see at other bottle shops including Vintage Estates. One thing tho, by Beaver County standards the prices are quite high $15 min per six pack of domestic micros. A single bottle of Lindeman’s 12 oz was $10. The least expensive micro bottle was $3. I guess by Pittsburgh and Bethel Park standards the prices are normal. The girl running the cash register was very helpful and had a beautiful smile but lacked just a tad on the beer knowledge. Overall, if you are looking for that special beer, give this place a try, you’ll be surprised! Didn’t have any food this time round.

Very nice bottle shop with a good selection. Nice owner and cute waitresses. It is a good place to enjoy a beer if your in the South Hills, although it does get crowded and has limited seating.

Grand opening is in January but got a sneak peek last night. Owner is not only very knowledgable, but a great conversationalist. They did’t have food yet and only had 600 (!) bottles available but this has promise to be the best bottle shop in the city. Will give full review after grand opening.
