A few of our favorites…

Bent Run Brewing Company offers local brews and food down by the river. Next to Allegheny Outfitters and Goat Fort, it’s a fantastic choice when the weather is fine to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. 

Wicked Warren’s serves brick-oven pizza and fresh brews downtown. Keep an eye out on their Facebook page for live music and trivia nights. 

Allegheny Outfitters is next to Bent Run Brewery. Browse the shop for an outdoorsy t-shirt, sticker for your water bottle or even your own kayak!

Goat Fort Climbing offers indoor rock climbing- a fun activity any time, but good to know especially when nasty weather has you stuck inside and you’ve played all the games and puzzles.
