This is restaurant is inside an old church. The tanks in which the beer is brewed sit on the altar. The beer, by the way is excellent-- I particularly like the Pious Monk Dunkel. My wife enjoyed her Caesar salad and I liked the 7 onion soup. We both had pierogies saute- another interesting touch. Definitely worth a visit. more

This is one of the most unique restaurants I have ever experienced. First off, it is a restaurant, so let me first mention that the food is excellent. We visited for lunch, and they had several sandwiches, appetizers, pizzas, and entrees. Some recommendations are the pierogis and the pierogi pizza - awesome! The restaurant brews its own beer and there... more

The Church Brew Works is fantastic if only for it's unique set up - it's a restaurant in an old church where they brew beer right up on the old altar. The beer is great while the food is just average. But the prices and the atmosphere make it definitely worth your while. The building is beautiful to look at,... more

Loved this place. The building is beautiful and the owners have managed to use an imposing space, in a soaring old Catholic Church, and maintain some intimacy. The food is well thought out and well executed (can't recommend the Pittsburgh-style salad, but otherwise very well done. Pizzas are great), the beer is good, and the service was amazingly professional and... more

This restaurant is the most creative that I've ever been to-- I love the idea of turning a church into a brewery/restaurant. The food is great and the beer is great, but they would not stand out in your mind as much if they weren't served in a church. In my opinion, that's the whole reason to go. The architecture... more

Others have summed up the highlights well. I will add that it is nice to see that this restaurant has found a unique and novel way to preserve the beautiful architecture of northern chruches. more

We went to Church Brew Works on a Saturday night around 7pm. We had to wait about 45 minutes for a table as they do not take reservations for small groups (we were a group of 4). When we were seated we immediately ordered pizza, as everyone has told us their pizza is excellent. Our waiter told us that it... more
