I love small independently owned places, so I thought I'd give this place a try. Â I've had two experiences at this place within the year, both as a take-out patron. Â The first time I was going out of town right after work and wanted to grab a few beers that were only distributed in PA. Â So I went during my lunch hour (actually 45 minutes.) Â I arrived around 12:05, but the place was closed. Â Then another patron drove up and told me that "the guy" was coming. Â About 15 minutes later, no one was there. Â This is not really acceptable for a real business. Â I left.
On my second visit, I went after work. Â The decor was sparse and disheveled. Â I have no idea about the ownership, but it feels like a place pieced together by a son of a rich kid in his twenties, let's call it frat house shabby.
Now, let's get to the beer selection. Â You can find better beers at one of the worst Giant Eagle beer/cafe's. Â I've been to many of them around the city and they are on par with this establishment and cheaper. Â I asked the bartender if they had anything I was missing, they said they just received some Dogfish 120! Finally something good! Â Â He told they were sold by the bottle. Â He then forewarned me that the price was $20. He brought out a 12 oz bottle, I expected a 22oz at that price. Â I never had a 120, so I wasn't sure of the size. Â I bought it anyway, as I was going to Ohio where they can't sell this beer because of the alcohol content. Â I figured it may be the going rate. Â Since I felt unfulfilled with the selection, I stopped by the Giant Eagle in Cranberry. Â Guess what? they had the same beer for $11. Â Fantastic. Â
So overall, I'm not going to frequent this place again, Â I'm not going to visit an establishment with higher prices and less than average selection. Â The Mad Mex on Cochran has a much better selection of craft beers and you can get a growler to go. Â Or visit the Bottle Shop on Washington Pike.
I love this friendly neighborhood bar. It's nice to stop in there at any time of the day or time of year. They have all the wonderful beers price pretty reasonably, the tap ones are a large list with a wall of beer in the fridge. It's a fun place to stop in after a long day of work, there are all sorts of people which makes it for a great atmosphere. 99 Bottles has it all, great beers, people, service, music, sports games, live entertainment at times, beautiful patio outside, etc.
Review Source:I stopped by here today with my girlfriend for a drink. Â We had come here to buy a gift certificate for a friend and once we saw the wall full of beers we decided to stay. Â Besides the wall of beer there is also a bar with 30 taps, an outdoor patio, games and a pretty nice seating area. Â Their selection of beers is good and I would guess they have a couple hundred. The best part of the place for me was actual the customer service from Nick. Â The door was opened for us, we were given recommendations, he thanked us and was genuinely pleasant and helpful. Â Without him I would have given it four stars but he made it five.
The bottom line for me is that I will be back again. Â The selection was good and I would like to try some of their food, especially the ribs.
After reading The D's review (since writing this it's been removed) Â of 99 Bottles, I just had to stop in and see if it was exactly how he described it. It was, and more. Located in the old Pizza Hut in Carnegie, 99 Bottles is another go to place for a mix and match six pack when I get parched.
Upon walking in on my first visit, I was greeted by the owner, who was very friendly and inviting. I looked over his impressive wall of draught beer and decided on an (surprise) IPA. He had four I was familiar with, so I chose a Victory IPA I'd never had before. As we stood at the draught bar, we started talking and he was so proud of his new place. He has many ideas and plans on taking out a wall and building a patio with a smoker for the summer months. Smoked meat sandwiches and beer, that's a great combination!
After finishing my Victory IPA, I went over to the display case and did a silent search, the owner watched as I searched, even asking me if he could help me, finally I saw it, like an oasis in the desert, a Flower Power IPA from Ithaca Beer Company. He said its one of his top sellers and I told him it's one of the best selling IPA's in the world of craft beer.
Thirty brews on tap The place is a great beer emporium. Mix and match six packs or cases or just walk in, Â grab a beer and go!
Nice little bottle shop with a big selection.  This place has more than 99 bottles of beer available as singles for purchase. This is a great way to try something new before you commit to a case of expensive beer that you might end up not liking. Been there, done that. They've got a little bit of everything in import and domestic varieties. They also have a huge selection of beers  on tap (looked like over 20 but I didn't count) which you can get in a growler or pint to go.
If you don't want to take them home to drink, no problem. Just grab a seat at one of several tables and imbibe there. This would be a fun place to do a beer tasting with friends. They have a limited menu of hot dogs and pulled pork or chicken sandwiches or nachos from Roadside Ribs in South Fayette in case you get hungry while you are sampling.
When I stopped in to check it out the guys were helpful and happy to answer all my questions. I bought six bottles to try and they ranged from $2.50 for the Great Lakes Elliot Ness Amber Lager to $4.75 for the Full Pint Rye-Rebellion Stout.
