“ One of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh. Its multifunction too, a gift that keeps on giving! Great outdoor seating in the warmer times. In addition to regular brewery offerings, they throw great Sunday day parties. During the week, in the daytime, its a coffee shop, with very chill easy vibes great for getting work done or meeting up for a chat. Its a very queerfriendly space as well ”

“ Whenever we manage to make it back to Pittsburgh Trace is always a must stop for us. Its usually weddings or funerals. Unfortunately this time it was a funeral, but we had Trace to look forward to during this difficult time. Em behind the bar was outstanding. He took the time to listen to some stories, go over beers, and made sure we had a great experience. Keep up the great work Em! Hopefully we see you again sooner than later on a better occasion ”

My husband and I live right outside of Philadelphia and ALWAYS make it a point to stop at Trace when were back in the area visiting family.
