I am a lover of craft breweries. After visiting last night, Dancing Gnome is at the top my list and I will be definitely be heading back soon. Dancing Gnome had knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious true to style beers and a unique atmosphere. We ordered a pizza from the food truck which complimented the West Coast IPAs perfectly.

This is a great brewery-probably one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh. The beer always hits, they have a spacious taproom with indoor and outdoor seating. Great vibes, great people. They have a lot of styles to pick from ranging from hazys to more traditional styles. They make a great Pilsner and Schwartz. Their Lustra pale ale is one of my favorite beers. They recently built a nice deck outside around their permanent food truck, Blue Sparrow which is super nice in good weather. I also love how there are always plants inside to purchase or a free propagation wall. They have great merch and also feature a local artist on a rotating basis so you can buy art there too! They always have cans and/or bottles on site for purchase. There is a decent sized parking lot on site or street parking throughout Sharpsburg. This brewery does not allow dogs, but I respect it . They're part of the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild-so you can get a stamp and prizes here.

One of the top breweries in one of the best if not the best breweries in the city. They have great IPA's , always, and their 'Dunkel' is amazing.

I'll be honest, I almost didn't come here, twice! The first reason was because I had one of their beers at another bar, and the quality was really low, at the time I thought this was a result of their just not bringing very good beers, but now that I've had beers on tap at their brewery, it probably had something to do with the way the keg and lines were treated at the bar. The second time was because I accidentally went to their old location and thought they were closed. I am happy to report that they have a pretty expansive selection of beer, although most of them are IPAs. They still had a small amount of crisp lagers on tap though, and they were really well-designed beers, I wish they would do a Cold IPA or a West Coast Pilsner! My favorites were definitely the festbier and dry-hopped pilsner! The permanent foodtruck they have here (Blue Sparrow) is delicious and inventive enough that this brewery is worth visiting even if you don't drink beer!

6+IPAs on draft, with fun names, fantastic art work, on-site parking, & an outdoor patio area....sold! not only sold, but we added a * must-visit when creating our self-made Pittsburg beer tour I had no idea at the time they had won America's favorite brewery, & while it wouldn't necessarily claim a top spot in my favorites, I can agree their flavors & ambiances were fantastic beers ranging $7-8, ample variety, and friendly bartenders allowing for small sip samples to decide- we were very impressed with a number of their IPAs we selected Galaxy & Better One or Two Two- had samples of Etch, Gravel Grinder- all had very unique hazy flavors ranging levels of lightness, rich & creamy, crisp & juicy, or dank hops I really wish 1. they offered flights 2. they offered mix&match to-go packs (lucky Buddy's on Carson has a lot of their IPAs in their mix&match cooler, so we were able to pick up a good variety to bring home) plenty of inside & outside seating, food truck was on site at the time of our visit, big screens to watch games overall, excellent visit- would frequent if we lived close & would definitely have my fridge consistently stocked with Dancing Gnome beer

no wine or local distillery options. Just surf side and stateside canned mixed drinks. No flights available. No tastings either. You order by half pint or full pint at bar after standing in line. Plenty of seating seating inside and out. And has some tables you can stand at. Big screen tv to watch the game on inside. No dogs allowed. Small parking on lot. Street parking also available.

The Dancing Gnome is a very friendly brewery located in the heart of Sharpsburg. They moved into a well lit and open space. Today, they had two different food trucks on their property. With seating inside and outside, there's plenty of room for you and your friends. They have a nice selection of beers, theirs and it looked like they had some guest breweries to choose from too.

I stopped by recently, but I was disappointed when I pulled up and walked up to the building to see that they were closed, but then I saw a sign on the door that they had moved down the street to a new location. So my disappointment soon turned into excitement as we walked up to a brewery marvel. The exterior of their new location is electrifying in all regards. The exterior lighting to the architecture inside and outside of this location is beyond your typical brewery and the parking is plentiful. Listen, I get it that they grew beyond their old walls and that speaks volumes of the brewery scene in Pittsburgh, but those old building breweries with all the character will always have my heart. Btw: Sharpsburg happens to be one of my favorite neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area and the growth that has happened and is happening is a beautiful thing to see. The day I visited they were jam packed and they had a BBQ food truck that was popping and from what I was seeing people eat it looked amazing and even though we didn't eat I am sure they had something vegan I could have tried. The service was fast and the beers were delicious. I can't wait to come back and spend more time here and drink more of their beers and meet some cool peeps. I also purchased a couple of their mugs and glasses which I now love drinking my craft beers from. Great job Dancing Gnome :D

Wonderful time celebrating friends birthday here! It was my first time visiting and we had a great experience! There was lots of parking spots in the lot so parking wasn't an issue when I arrived. We came on a Thursday night and there were great food options at the food truck. Everyone enjoyed their waffle fries and burgers! The outdoor seating area looked like a great place to enjoy in warmer weather. Inside there was a variety of seating at low and high top tables and at the bar. Whenever we went to order our drinks the staff were very friendly and helpful. We never had to wait long for drinks either. The staff members also were very good at coming around to clean tables and take our empty drink glasses away. There is a large variety of beer on tap so everyone can find something they enjoy! Overall a great experience here!

Updating my review as Dancing Gnome is now at a new location, which I love by the way! It is so much larger and they have a nice outdoor area. It is still a very kid friendly brewery. Also it is SO clean! I tried a half pint of the Track Botanical. It was good! Can't wait to go back and try some others. While I was there, they didn't have food. However a food truck was scheduled to come at 4pm. We brought plenty of snacks to cover us during our stay.
