I stopped into Mellinger's for the first time to pick up a six-pack. The selection was better than expected. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for the location of the beers around the store, but I asked for a particular item and was taken straight to it. The entrance is a little confusing, but just enter through the most right door. Honestly, the beer was cheaper than I was expecting. For the convenient location and prices, I'll be back.

To make it short, I've had great experiences with Mellinger's. While my experience with them has been with placing large orders, I imagine the service level is the same for individuals. My dealings with both managers/owners and the several staff i've met, have all been stellar! They all have bent over backwards for me and my friends and have been useful both with advice and any assistance we've need in keg selection and tap selection. Their variety is the best I've not only seen but had to date here in Pittsburgh. I say this because previous to Mellinger's we had used another distributor who supposedly had a great selection, but could never deliver, nor even tried to deliver. Mellinger's only missed one of our selections once, and made up for it with apologies. So to wrap that up: The service is amazing and the best i've had in Pittsburgh, and the selection matches as well.

Though the guy behind the counter was great, I actually expected a better selection here. Moreover, beer was a bit more expensive that I thought it would be, particularly given that this place is in the heart of South Oakland where poor students can't spend much on booze. Their sale rack was no where near as cheap as Pastella in Friendship. I'd recommend going there if you're in the area.

If it's advertised that the store closes at 11pm, let's not kick customers out at 10:45. I showed up tonight, 9/1, at 10:45pm, and would have taken less than five minutes to buy items, but was turned away as soon as I opened the door.

Best beer distributor in Pittsburgh. Great selection, good prices, nice people. If they don't have what you want, they'll special order it for you.

I used to go there everyday. I couldn't purchase a mask anywhere at the time. Put a shirt over my face and the cashier talked to me very rudely. Pretty much stood there and belittled me. I won't go there ever again. This does not pertain to any of the other workers or owners. They are always extremely nice and know the right way to conduct business.

I went into Mellingers and tried to buy alcohol. I am a 21 year old Pennsylvania resident. I walked into the distributor and handed them my PA ID. THE MAN WORKING REGISTER SAID THAT I LOOKED TOO YOUNG. I had a legitimate Pennsylvania ID AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS FAKE. he said the Hologram or some shit didn't show up. He stole my $20 and said to come back when I'm 21. I only gave it one star because I couldn't give it none.

I went out of town and found a particular drink that I liked only to find out that they did not sell it here in Pittsburgh. I searched many beer distributors but when I contacted Mellinger, they offered to order it for me! Thanks Mellinger!!

Great beer selections! They are also willing to order certain beer styles for costumers if not in stock.
