City Winery Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First time at this location. Went to see a band (Lacey Dooley) whose first stop on the US tour was here. They were excellent! We had a couple of beers, 3 sliders which were great, an awesome charcuterie tray and a pizza. We sat with our elbows on the stage, great crowd and great music. This is a go to place when on the strip.

A fun, clean, and lively place with amazing acoustics. Food and drinks are priced about as expected, and service is superb. Only area for improvement could be greater selections of vegetarian/vegan dishes. Love the vibe here, and will definitely suggest it as a place to meet friends.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a concert at Pittsburgh City Winery, and I can confidently say it’s a fantastic addition to the Strip District! I saw Robby Krieger, the legendary guitarist from The Doors, and he was nothing short of phenomenal. Hearing all those classic Doors songs played live was an unforgettable experience—Robby is still an incredible force on guitar!

The venue itself is modern and well-maintained, featuring outstanding lighting, sound, and acoustics. We sat in the balcony area, which offered a great view, but honestly, there isn’t a bad seat in the house! The staff were friendly, attentive, and always available when we needed drinks or food, making the experience even more enjoyable.

This was my second show at City Winery, and both times were a blast. I can’t wait to go back for another performance! The location is also very convenient, with a parking garage right across the street—only $10 for several hours in the Strip District. Plus, there are plenty of excellent dining and drink options nearby to enjoy before the show.

The Strip District is the trendiest area in the city right now, especially with all the new developments around the Terminal Building, where City Winery is located. If you’re looking for a great night out with fantastic music and a vibrant atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out City Winery!

Can’t wait for my next visit!

I love City Winery’s (here & around the US) for having great music, but it kind of sadly ends there. The stage, lighting & sound are always great. The room is upscale & nice looking. I dislike how tightly packed the tables are, how challenging it is to maneuver in & out of seating, and the fact that unless you’re a group of 6, you are sitting elbow to elbow with strangers. This results in awkward bumping, nudging, sometimes spilling. If you plan to eat there I recommend doing it before a show begins or outside the music venue in the restaurant area. I do enjoy their City Bubbles cava ($14 a glass or $56 a bottle is pricey though for me). The small plate concept at the Pittsburgh location I’m not a fan of, I’ve eaten there 3x & the food for the price has been lackluster. I go for the music. The other beef with the Pittsburgh location is how ridiculously (for a brand new building) small the ladies room is…TWO stalls, one handicapped, one regular. One sink, no room to stand or wait except in the hall. It’s absolutely horrible & hard to believe the lack of forethought put into it given it’s shared by the bar/restaurant & music venue. There is another restroom upstairs by the balcony, but that’s not easy to access if you’re downstairs. As I said, go for the music.

What a wonderful place for brunch and a show! The food was good! The wine was tasty! The acoustics are phenomenal! And i applaud them for supporting Reubens Painted Mandolin and all local live music! We traveled 3 hours to attend and we were not disappointed! We will be back!

The ambiance was amazing! The venue is a little tight and I saw tensions growing between people that were smooshed together. The service was nice though and I enjoyed the truffle fries. I’d visit this venue again!

I was really pleasantly surprised by City Winery in Pittsburgh. As a music venue it is delightful. A perfect , intimate size and really no bad seats in the house. Very comfortable and great acoustics.
The food and drink were also quite nice, although the charcuterie platter was not the caliber I expected for the price. But do try the wine, it was really delicious ! Our servers and the staff were very helpful and kind. We had a really wonderful experience at City Winery Pittsburgh and I’m looking forward to going back!

Went last night for Al Stewart and Livingston Taylor show. Our first time there. Great venue for an intimate musical show. And the food was exceptional! I had the sirloin skewers. Pretty small, but the best beef I’ve had in decades. Good quality and well made. My husband had the spicy feta dip with bread which was also amazing. The tables are a little too intimate though. You’re basically shoulder to shoulder with people at the table and there’s almost no room for the food. But we will be back again - next week for Stanley Clarke!
