Full Pint Wild Side

I can’t decide how I feel about this place. The space itself is awesome, especially in the evening. It’s almost entirely candlelit, and a great place to grab a beer and catch up with a friend. It’s small, so it is not ideal for a big group. Definitely better for intimate gatherings.
The beers I have tried have been great. Very fresh and flavorful. They have a wide variety that should appeal to everyone. And for those who don’t love beer, they even had a cider on top.
I’ve had mixed experiences with the bartenders. One was friendly, informative, and down-​to-​earth. The other came off as pretentious and openly complained about other patrons, which was pretty weird. It was a turn-​off and I probably would not walk in here again if I saw he was behind the bar.

This place is chill.
My first stop at this Full Pint location. Literally a hole in the wall with the ambiance that makes you want to stay for good. I love that! Low light and candles so I will say it’s very intimate. Lovely to have that best friend conversation or cozy night with your crush.
Next door opening soon is their food establishment. Looking forward to that as my a favorite dinner is a beer and an appetizer. I hope the same coziness is next door, too.
Service was great and bartender was attentive to all. Games available around to play or you can just sit and chat. Music was on point.
Full Pint has a really nicer variety of craft to fancy all tastes and their rotating taps fit the bill.
Will definitely be returning when the food is added.

Absolutely loved this place. We stopped in here while doing a Butler Street tour and couldn’t have been happier with our decision to stop in. I’m familiar with Full Pint since I’m a fan of the White Lightning brand that they make. I went in thinking that I would get one but the bartender wanted me to sample some other beers first. His attitude and personality was great. He made the whole experience worthwhile.

One of the most underrated happy hours in Pittsburgh. Great craft beer at half price is hard to resist and the bartender is really cool. Gave us several samples and explained what each was. The only negative is that they do not serve food but I believe that will be changing in the near future. Once food is available this will be a 5.

I love this place! The space is so intimate, you forget that you are in cramped and crazy Larryville. We had some friends staying with us from out of town and did a little brewery tour along Butler and while I know that this isn’t the actual brewery but just a tasting bar, I was beyond impressed. It is tiny inside but the bartender is knowledgeable. I had their watermelon, jalapeño beer and was very surprised how much I enjoyed it. The bartender said that he generally does not tell people what they are drinking before he serves it since the beer reacts so differently on the palate. I love heat and hoped to get more of the jalapeño but was pleasantly surprised by the sweet, but very natural tasting watermelon flavor. I will continue to use visitors as an excuse to go and am very happy that someone is always in town!

Came here on a Monday for a nice, non-​crazy night of good beer and conversation. It’s very dark and very small — perfect! With just a handful of beers on tap, it was going to be tough to make a decision. Our lovely bartender, Tony, let us sample whatever we wanted to on tap which was awesome. He knows Full Pint like the back of his hand, which is really refreshing to see. If you’re super chatty like I am, be prepared for some fun conversations! I had the Little Brown Ale :)

Small, intimate, candle-​lit, «chill» (on a Wednesday night, at least). The ambiance is tastefully faux-​rustic – it even SMELLS like wooden beams! Obviously the beer selection is all Full Pint with a wide variety of brews featured for every type of beer drinker’s palette (hop scale from strong to non-​existant). Hey, they even had a watermelon jalepeno beer that tasted like straight-​up juice.

Yay for Wild Side! Finally, we don’t have to drive to North Versailles anymore to get a Full Pint beer. After dinner last night at Cure, we made a quick stop at the bar. The space was small and dark with a bar and a few high top tables. All of Full Pint’s delicious beers were on tap. Normally, I’m a White Lightning girl but couldn’t resist the All in Amber. The bar was buzzing and got even busier when a party bus dropped off at least a dozen folks.

Very cool vibe. No food, just beer and cider on tap.
12 crafted Full Pint beers on tap. White Lightning is my favorite Belgium Wheat. Colon-​Hop-​Scopy is a great IPA. The cider is more like apple juice. Very good.
The bar tender was knowledge and very good. The décor is nice and comfortable. Neat to see people stop in for a drink or two and head out.
Highly recommend a stop during your nightly run down Butler Street.

I’ve had some Full Pint offerings such as Chinookie in the past and were not crazy about them. Fresh and on draft is a different story. I had the Chinookie, Grapefruit Chinookie, and Nitro Chinookie and liked all three especially the Nitro Chinookie. They had a fully barrel aged Rye Rebellion, which may be the best dark beer in Pittsburgh. Tony is one of the best bartenders in Pittsburgh. Great and numerous selection of beers. I got a new go to.

Full Pint already has my heart as a great local brewery. It’s nice to have their beers right down the street at Wild Side. A plus is them having special versions of their beers. I had the Chinookie IPA Nitro. My wife doesn’t drunk beer, but they had something from Arsenal Cider on tap.
We didn’t have a chance to try any food. Another trip is definitely in our future.

Great beer, and a wonderful space! A must stop place when you are in Lawrenceville! That they partnered with Wild Purveyors makes this an even cooler thing!

Full Pint is yet another wonderful addition to the burgeoning nightlife scene in Upper Lawrenceville. With Allegheny Wine Mixer a few doors down, I could theoretically not go out for drinks anywhere else but this one block for months and be quite happy! (I’m easily pleased, I know.) As soon as my boyfriend alerted me to the presence of a new beer drinking establishment we decided to check it out that very night, and we were so glad we did.
As soon as we walked in I noticed that the atmosphere was homey and comfortable overall, with wood paneling, a mix of wooden bar stools and high top tables, a chalkboard with the draft list, and an assortment of vintage farming tools hung on the walls. It was enough to create a down-​home and casual vibe but not so much that it was off-​putting or overly snobbish. (I hate receiving shade because my hair is clean and I’m a happy carnivore.)
In addition to the atmosphere, I really appreciated the bartender who was very friendly and took the time to ask us what beers we typically drank before offering us suggestions. We ended up going with his recommendation of Rye Rebellion, a potent little imperial stout aged in Four Roses whiskey barrels, and it was an excellent choice! I didn’t feel like I was being pressured by him into drinking some arbitrary favorite beer of his, which was the nicest part honestly. As someone who knows her beer and whiskey, it can be incredibly frustrating having a male bartender treat me like a Bud Light girl haha. None of that at Full Pint thankfully! I know I’ll be a regular as long as it’s here.

Full Pint’s Wild Side is a nice addition to Lawrenceville. They have about 10 – 12 beers available by the glass. I enjoyed the night of the living stout and the brown ale. This is a pretty small bar, so I’m sure it will begin to get packed as the weather warms up. They also serve food from Wild Purveyors, which is right next door. I only came for drinks this time, but I will definitely come back to try more of their beers and some snacks as well. The bartender was super informative about the beers, which was a great help, as I wish I could have tried them all!
