McBroom Distributor

Pros: amazing selection. Parking available in front. Cons: the staff is not friendly and not helpful. Prices kind of high.

Great neighborhood beer distributor. I come here after I find a random beer I like at D's to get the 6 pack of it. I do find the prices are slightly higher than other distributors but you really can't beat the convenience. It is much larger inside than it looks from the outside and the staff are always willing to help you find what you need. I will be back for sure!

Great selection that you won't find elsewhere. Especially brands I haven't seen before. It is a bit cramped in here, watch your step, I about fell/tripped a dozen times in here.There is a cooler if you were looking to take something out and start drinking right away. And the staff are helpful if you need the help. Most times people walk in with what they want in their mind already, so they sometimes look bored.The negatives of this place, parking is horrible. Especially on that stretch of South Braddock. Stay away during the evening rush. Everyone seems to be trying to get out of the city and think that taking this route to bypass the tunnels will alleviate their time. Also, the prices seem a bit outrageous on certain items. Might be better off going elsewhere if you are looking for the more exotic. But for this area, you would think that with another distributor less than a mile away, prices would be better.

Kay and I were referred here by the swell people over at D's Six Pax and Dogs since their prices were better. Ya gotta love honesty. A few evenings ago, we managed to snag a case each of Blue Moon and Smirnoff Ice for our housewarming party.Hey, just 'cause I don't drink doesn't mean there won't be booze at my parties, ok?Anyway, we found their selection to be as wide as D's but with more affordable pricing when buying by the case. The employee minding the store reminded me of a comics shop clerk for some reason. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.As we walked back to the car, a gentleman shouted to us from one of the neighborhood's bars, "Hey, you better have some orange slices for those Blue Moons." Ooops! Regent Square sure is lively on a Friday night, no?

The service is not that amazing, it's almost as if they don't care to have a business. I've dealt with them for large orders and while meeting the deadlines they request, it's never enough. They usually don't have your requested kegs and will tell you to order earlier (which by experience still does not help). The saving grace is likely for individual sales. From the times I've had go to the store to pick up our "deliveries" (ie. nearly every time), it looked like they had a decent selection from the wall for cases...but who knows if they actually carry the selection.

I like McBroom's for their selection but the prices are higher than I am used to paying for beer that can be found at most other distributos. The stuff you can't find anywhere else in Pittsburgh makes sense to have a price hike but the few times I've tried to get cheap/party beer it is always 2-4 dollars more per case than anywhere else.I am pretty sure they are owned by the same people as D's Six Pax so I find it funny that a lot of other reviews claim to find it "sweet" that the D's servers sent them here for cases. McBroom's selection is worth the prices, but the staff usually give the bare minimum of help and sometimes don't acknowledge that they have customers in the store. If you are in the area or looking for something special they are great, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place on a regular basis.

Come here instead of D's if you need to buy cases of beer. They're cheaper than D's and everything is easy to find. Thanks to the peeps at D's for the referral.

Still getting used to the whole "buying a case of beer at a time" thing here in PA, but this store always has what I come in looking for (usually ciders). It looks a little bit like a warehouse but that's what you get when there are cases of beer everywhere. The staff is very friendly and always offer to help carry your purchases out. Prices are ok, too.

great selection of basically every beer you could want, mostly in 12 packs. great location. however (and maybe sometime this will change) they don't put prices on basically anything. I'm guessing up to 10%. the particularly annoying thing about this is that you have to ask the cashier about the price of each (they're friendly) and they're consistently more highly priced than any other beer store by at least a few bucks-which adds up when you're talking 6 packs.So-great store if money is no object, or you're on foot in Regent Square. I'm hoping their remodel (looks like they're still stocking everything) improves upon things a bit.

Very good selection which changes reasonably often. Parking is generally easy: the curb just to the side of the building holds 3-4 cars and is signed for beer pickup only. Friendly staff: they always offer to carry things out to the car (even though I don't look too decrepit, but it is nice to have them take the second case out). Very happy with them as my regular beer place.
