Buzzy venue offering live music, pub grub & many craft beers on tap, plus a cigar bar & dance floor.

Huge selection of beer and other drinks, Monday thru Thursday happy hour specials, other seasonal specials. Live music often so if there’s someone you really want to see, make reservations. Big bar, lots of tables but it can be standing room only. Food selection is good from salads, sandwiches, wings, appetizers, burgers. Fish sandwich is huge. Basic burger is good, mine was a little overcooked but certainly still tasty, and I added bacon which was perfect. Tator tots were good. Bar service was very good, they were running all evening but kept on top of everything very well.

Food was great, beer was good, and there was a live band. There’s an awesome happy hour price from 4:30-6:30 M-Th. Olivia was great and gave us opinions on some food and wing sauce selections.

Good free parking. Laid back atmosphere. They get some amazing bands for how small of a venue they are. The shows always feel personal. Great experiences here.

I was there for the Corned Beef & Curry band. The atmosphere was nice, the food was good, but I really want to shout out Sammi (Sami,,,Sammy?,,,I lost the receipt) for being friendly, funny, knowledgeable, the drinks were fast,,,, she was on top of everything. Can’t say enough great things. Great representation for the establishment.

Sammi our bartender was awesome! Big party with over 20 people and she had multiple tables like that. No one waited for drinks, food was good, and the band was great.

We were excited to check this place out when we looked at it online and bought tickets to a show. Upon arrival the parking was a nightmare. The bowing alley was pretty packed so between the bar side and the bowling alley the place was busy. There were 2, I repeat, 2 bartenders behind their massive bar! The bartenders were also making the server tickets on top of the bar. The wait for drinks was absolutely ridiculous. They promote as a stage and grill and run the bar like a small.time dive?? It was mind blowing. We would have spent alot more money there had I been able to get service. The all around experience here was not good and we’ll skip any shows that are playing at this venue.

All across the board, it’s just okay. Food is fine, but certainly nothing to write home about. The drinks are also fine. Nothing special, but they do the trick. I do think it’s ridiculous to charge $2.50+ per water(only served in bottles) when they make all the drinks with bar ice. So your tap water is fine for ice in our drinks but not actually fine for us to drink? Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. I only came out to see a band, but I think I’ll skip their next appearance if it’s here. Many better venues in the ‘burgh.

We were here for another Faster Pussycat show on June 22, 2025. This time, the venue permitted under 21 with a parent/guardian so I was *finally* able to bring my 8 year old to see one of his favorite bands! I hope the continue this policy change.
Service was excellent as always. The show was great with high quality sound and lighting.
The drinks and food were way better than my last visit, even though they were good to begin with. Now they’re great!
I’ll definitely be back! I love what Crafthouse is doing. It’s starting to inch it’s way ahead of Jergel’s for me.
I recommend trying Espresso Martini and the Boneless Wings. Both were fantastic!

Came here to see Faster Pussycat on June 13th. It was my first time here for a show. I really enjoyed it. Seating is first come, first served. So if you really want a seat close to the stage I suggest arriving when the doors are scheduled to open.
The food was good. We had the bone in wings which were cooked well and were crispy and tasty. We also tried the chicken bacon ranch flatbread, onion rings and loaded tater tots. Service was quick and attentive. They make excellent drinks here.
Strawberry Smash was refreshing. Cherry Frost was really, really good. My favorite drink that I had was the Crafthouse Latte-tini. It was soooo good. I could have drank that all night.
My only complaint is the sound when Faster Pusscat took the stage. It could have been better. Taime’s mic went out a couple times and that was a bummer.
I would come back to Crafthouse for a show. I’d also like to check out the bowling alley.

We went for a concert. The drink selection is amazing. Know that you need to pay $3 for a bottle of water if it’s a show even if you’re eating dinner. We ordered the wing pierogies and had to send them back twice because they were ice cold and hardly cooked. The other items we ordered were average nothing to write home about but the menu presents as fantastic. The show was amazing. The sound was spot on and our server was fantastic.

Our first time at this venue and perhaps it was the event but we didn’t have any problem with parking despite reading other reviews warning about the parking situation. Overall, I really like the set up of this place. My only real complaint is that the bar service was slow (there was only one bar tender trying to service a rather large bar area) and we noticed tables weren’t being cleared quickly either. In short – I’d definitely return but don’t expect speedy service.
