Lincoln Avenue Brewery

TLDR: cozy neighborhood spot with best soft pretzel, other nice elevated pub food, and good drinks. Just wish they had more space & more comfy seating. This cozy neighborhood brewery in Bellevue is a great spot for food, cocktails, & of course beers! Imo they have the best, huge, delicious soft pretzel in Pittsburgh. It's very reminiscent of a $28 soft pretzel I had elsewhere in that it's nice & fluffy with a good soft bread texture. Plus, you'll save $9 on this one, it comes with beer cheese + mustard, & it's much larger. Pro tip: add their famous pickle dip with your pretzel. The combo is incredible! The blackened ahi tuna BLT on a nice brioche bun was also really delicious - with a kick! Speaking of kick, I'm kicking myself that I didn't take a pic of the drink menu bc I can't recall exactly what was in my bourbon cocktail or the name, but I'm pretty sure it had fig. It was strong & tasty. Check out this neighborhood spot if you're looking for a delicious low-key meal in Pittsburgh. They also have live music & some other events.

Aside from their brews, local wines and local cocktails also served. Outside tables where dogs allowed. Friendly bar tender. Food menu available. Kitchen on site. On street parking.

Adorable spot in a cute area. I didn't try the beet (No-drink-vember) but my friend had the East End Big Hop American Ale and loved it. We ordered a big pretzel to share and it came with both beer cheese and a spicy mustard. Delicious! The atmosphere was comfortable, the wait staff was attentive. I'll definitely be back!

It was my first visit and it was a good time. We went on Tuesday night which is their trivia night, not going to lie the questions were harder than I thought they would be! I'm not the biggest beer drinker but I was able to tell the bar tender exactly what I liked and she picked out a great beer that I enjoyed. They also have a small food menu, I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap. It was a decent size and had a great flavor. Their side options left something to be desired I had the cold orzo salad and kettle chips. Over all it was a good experience and I want to go back to try a few more things!

A cozy brewery in Bellevue. Personally I think it's not as a good as it once was but it's still decent beer and pretty good food. My favorite is the pretzel. Oktoberfest was tasty. Worth the stop if you're in the area

I LOVE this brewery! The vibes are so much fun, the beer is cool and crisp, and the food is tasty af!! They have a nice selection of their house beers, my personal faves are their sours. They usually have a nice rotation. And THE PICKLE DIP! Insanely delicious, no notes. It's awesome having a brewery in Bellevue, and I'm glad it's this one!

I'd Never heard of Lincoln Avenue Brewery, until I attended an event recently.From the moment I walked in, it was as if I was in an episode of "Cheers;" or what I assume the show is like I've never watched it ‍. The point is, it was better than anything I could've assumed it would be like. Grant, Lisa, and the staff were very personable and make you feel welcome from the first step inside. I gotta be honest, I'm not a beer drinker. "So why did you go?" Why not? Experiencing new things lead to discovery. I tried the Lincoln Avenue Aye Matey area salt/lime gosey, bulldog dipa, ESB, and the mead. All solid beers, but I can't get over how delicious the sour was. I'm normally not one to like like any lemon/ lime flavored things because they usually taste artificial. However, the sour was so natural and refreshing. Definitely made me more curious about exploring sours.While the beers were noteworthy, and the chicken Caesar wrap was delicious, it is the pickle dip I keep telling everyone about. I got a mouth-watering flavor that made me feel ready to party. I took some of the dip with me and I wish I had taken more. Does anyone know if they sell a jar of this? I want to buy some to bring to share at parties!!I definitely plan to return! I'm currently trying to vet the people that can hang and will mesh well with the laid back vibe. Or maybe I'll just return on my own. Either way, stop reading this and go check this little gem out!

Loved the inside of this place and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back to try some more of the beer selections and food options. My favorite was the bulldog double ipa. My wife and I split the pickle dip appetizer. The dip is so good! I wish it came with flatbread or some sturdier chips though. For my meal I went with the flatbread. This was definitely a mistake. It was pretty bad, both in appearance and taste. My wife's tacos and the other food I saw inside looked great though so I will have to try something different next time.

The food was prepared with care, and our server was really attentive. It's really nice that they serve things other than their own brews (which are very good), because my wife doesn't drink beer. A cozy, clean, and almost pub-like environment...happy to have it so close by!

GREAT Sunday Brunch!!! Really good breakfast platter w fresh ingredients. And topping it off w/Texas Toast was awesome!! Washing it down a Jalapeño Machete made it perfect!!!
