Where to Find a Cold Craft Beer Downtown

Written by Elisabeth Kay

Downtown Pittsburgh is great, but can be even greater with an ice-cold beer– bonus points if that beer is on tap. If you’ve got a thirst you haven’t quite quenched, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Do yourself and your taste buds a favor, and check out this list of the best places downtown to get a fresh beer on tap.

Redbeard’s, which is located at 144 Sixth Street, is the go-to place in the Golden Triangle for all things sports, but it also offers cold draft beers to pair with any game you’re tuned into. If you stop by before a Sunday Steeler’s game, buckets of Miller Light drafts are 5 for $20! Enjoy the game with Steel City Spirit and a good beer.

If you’re looking for a local brew, City Works has 30+ beers on tap for you to choose from. Make sure to stop in soon to try the local sour beer on their seasonal list, Kaboom Candy: Prickly Pear + Pineapple. They offer a range of beers and ale on tap throughout the year, so there will always be a new one for you to try!

The Yard may be known for their delicious grilled cheeses, but an amazing pairing is a beer from their giant selection of drafts. In Market Square at 100 Fifth Avenue, a 36-tap rotation is at your disposal, with local and domestic craft beers. Get your fix of anything from an IPA to lager next time you’re in!

For beers on tap from all over the world, Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room has you covered. Pair a local IPA, domestic cider, or classic Guinness with an entree, pasta, or pizza you’ll be thinking about for the rest of your night. 

We hope these suggestions will lead you to find your new favorite beer, and a new favorite spot downtown!
