The Spotlight on Wigle Whiskey Distillery

Craft Spirits & Good Vibes in Pittsburgh’s Strip District

Wigle Whiskey Distillery is a vibrant, award-winning distillery and bar nestled in the heart of Pittsburgh’s historic Strip District. Known for its house-distilled spirits and creative cocktails, this local favorite combines a fun, casual vibe with a strong sense of place and Pittsburgh pride. The space is modern-industrial with a welcoming feel, complete with indoor and outdoor seating and a small but well-curated menu of light bites. Just minutes from several major concert venues, it’s a go-to for locals and visitors alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Proximity is a major plus—Wigle is within walking distance of popular live music spots, making it a perfect place to kick off your night. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud, so you can still chat over a cocktail before heading to the show. Service is known to be fast and friendly, which is great if you're on a tight schedule. Plus, their tasting flights and seasonal cocktails make for a unique pre-show experience.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun and interactive hangout spot
  • Solo travelers who want to sip something local before the lights go down
  • Couples making a romantic night of it with craft spirits and cozy vibes
  • Fans wanting a lively pre-show space with character and conversation
  • Budget-conscious music fans who appreciate value in quality local pours

What People Say

Visitors love the friendly, laid-back energy and recommend booking a tasting ahead of time. Many say it’s a must-visit stop for anyone wanting to experience the local flavor of Pittsburgh.

Areas for Improvement

The food menu is on the lighter side, so don’t expect a full dinner. It’s more about small bites and drinks here. Also, the space can fill up quickly before big events, so arriving early or making a reservation is a smart move.

If you're looking for a cool, local spot to sip expertly crafted whiskey and cocktails before heading to a concert, Wigle Whiskey Distillery is a flavorful, fun, and walkable option that hits all the right notes.
