You can find Shore Thing anchored just off the North Shore, between the Roberto Clemente and Andy Warhol bridges. The 4,800 square foot space is built from 10 connected barges, offering a cozy lounge and a laid-back vibe.
BG Brewing is running the food and beverage scene here, serving up a menu that mixes Pittsburgh comfort food with Hawaiian flair, giving you the perfect bite of Steel City soul with a tropical twist.
Throughout the summer, Shore Thing will also host free yoga sessions, live music, and hands-on art events. Later in the season, they’re rolling out authentic Hawaiian shaved ice with tasty flavors!
Shore Thing will be open through mid-October and is a must-visit!
