“I attended a wedding there recently. The area is large with open air and closed rooms. The staff was great, helpful and stayed in a good humor for such a large crowd”
“This is a 68,400 seating, huge, multi-level, beautiful stadium with spacious, comfortable seats. The atmosphere in, and outside the stadium is awesome, but there's nothing quite like the Pittsburgh Steelers staff, fans, and of course football team. The energy that runs through this stadium is of the highest caliber. I have never visited a place where every aspect of the place is full of awesomeness. The only way to experience this, and all its glory is at a home game.
This should be on everyone's bucket list, regardless if your a Steelers fan or not.”
“Food was delicious, portion sizes were satisfying without making us feel too stuffed, wine pairing pours were generous, staff was super friendly! We were happy we splurged on a fancy meal while traveling for a special occasion. I happily paid over $300 for the 5 course vegan menu for two, with wine pairings & an additional course we didn’t want to skip! At that price point, I really wanted the flavors & presentation to blow my mind. It wasn’t the most delish meal I’ve ever had, but we certainly enjoyed it a ton. The vibe of the restaurant also seemed too casual for this price point- staff in cotton logo tees & a pretty standard cafe aesthetic in the dining room. Expected it to look & feel more fancy, but it didn’t dull our experience with the great service or the food. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-17”
“We had a group of neighbors go to Board and Brush on a Sunday evening and we all had a great time. The staff was wonderful and Nikki the instructor was exceptional. Can’t wait to go back again.”
“A lovely little theatre! saw a movie there with my wife and family and had a great time. Not to mention they had other things to eat besides just popcorn and candy. They had nachos, pizza flatbreads, pretzels and desserts straight from the award winning Oakmont bakery ?. Seating was perfect, ticket prices were affordable and the atmosphere was inviting. I can't wait to come back here and watch another movie or possibly a live performance :)”
“This place is an amazing gem. Hidden just off the beaten path . Something never seems to disappoint. If you have never been there . Your missing out on some amazing times”
“Great little venue. So pretty inside! We were here to see an artist we know and like perform. Apparently they have shows here frequently throughout the year. There’s tables set up and you can bring your own food and drinks. They were also selling snacks like chips and pop. We had a great evening listening to music!”
“Attended an event here. Very well run. Probably not going to try and become a member, but I would recommend it to anyone who asks if their high quality event would be treated professionally and with care.”
“Attended a work event here and it really is a hidden gem. The grounds are beautiful and include many amenities. Perfect for weddings, work retreats or other events. Only small critique is that the restrooms are all singles, which could be an issue at a large event.”
“What an amazing experience we had at the Art Room for my daughter‘s wedding celebration!
Kirsten, Lydia, Claire, and Laura were all fabulous! From the minute we reached out to them and then met each one to the very last hug goodbye, everything was perfect! They are the kindest and most knowledgeable people and the hardest working group I’ve ever seen! Everything looked so beautiful because the venue is amazing! I would recommend it to anybody and if I ever need another place for a party, I will be going there!”
“One of my favorite things to do is go to the movie theater! At this one the seats are extremely comfortable and the cost is affordable. I'd go more often if they're were movies to my liking.”
“My favorite rental place. I've been renting from a Party Place for almost a decade. Everytime we have a party, we pick up extra chairs and they are at such great prices! The staff is always friendly, respectful and helpful. Quick transactions and return process! Will continue to rent here for years to come.”
“Super customer service!!! I found the yarn I needed and it arrived super fast! It was packed securely and bundled with a bunch of pretty flowers, what a lovely touch!!! This was my first experience with them but will not be my last!!! Thank you!!!!!”
“Such a beautiful setting. I was invited as a participant of the Somma study. The place was set beautifully. Everyone was friendly, the food was good and plentiful. I want to thank everyone that made this event so wonderful.”
“We came to the S&S Memorial Hall and Museum for a wedding reception several weeks back. It was a great time and a lovely building full of history to explore during the reception. I want to shoutout Greg, who was very informative and kind enough to show us some of the Silence of the Lambs film history (my wife's favorite movie.) It was a small gesture that went above and beyond to make our visit there special. Wonderful time.”
“Absolutely gorgeous wedding venue with amazing staff! I had an art deco/gatsby themed wedding and this place was perfect! The space is a blank canvas for you to make your own! Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere unique with history to hold your event!”
“We come for the Home and Garden show every year and always have a good time. The layout is simple and the concessions are decent. Parking for large events gets filled quickly but there are plenty of other lots nearby. Occasionally traffic gets congested underneath and can cause delays, but the street underneath is an easy drop off/pickup point”
“Despite the bright panels on the outside, Irma Freeman Center for the Imagination is in many ways a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of place. Even after having been past it on foot several times, I often had fairly little idea what it was. My first impression was that it might be a community center for disabled or destitute youths, and therefore somewhere that serves a valuable cultural function but in which I have no place. I was very incorrect in this assumption, as I found out later. One day, while the doors were open, I walked in. I was treated to a private, minimalistic indie gallery featuring work by local artists. At the time, the exhibit focused principally on abandoned sites in the Pittsburgh area, with photographs giving an eerie portrait of the region's history. It was as though the photographers were archaeologists documenting recent times that have fallen into obscurity and ruin. This is of course not the only exhibit: Irma Freeman's collections, ever changing, deal with a number of different artists and themes. Gift shop at the front door and opening night receptions every First Friday of the month. Strongly recommend!”

“Amazing ballet performances and also watched a form of jazz dance. The theater is not too big nor is it too small. The audience members primarily are family and friends which makes the night there that more special. Highly recommend visiting and supporting the performers.”
“We happened to be walking by around lunchtime and decided to try the fish fry. We both got fried shrimp dinners, with pierogies, coleslaw, and haluski. Everything was great and the folks there are very accommodating (since we'd never been there before and we're confused!). And they take credit cards. The fried fish sandwiches looked good too. And large.The social hall had a lot of tables set up to dine in and a bar to sit at as well.”
“Best experience I have had at a Country Club!! The staff did an amazing job from beginning to end!! I attended our niece’s Bridal Shower this past Saturday and was so impressed with the team at Shannopin Country Club!!! The service, Hospitality and food was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you to the staff for making our niece’s day so wonderful!!!”
“Not a club member, but I’ve had the chance to visit Diamond Run a few times as a guest — and wow. One of the nicest clubhouses I’ve seen, and the recent renovations make it even more impressive. The staff is always welcoming and professional.
As a novice golfer, the course is definitely a challenge for me, but it’s absolutely stunning. What a special place. Highly recommend.”
“Beautiful place, we attended a wedding. I did not know that Pittsburgh was ever spelled without the h for a brief time until I saw the engraving in the main entrance of the building.”
“Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, personable, and seemed genuinely happy to be doing what they're doing.Craftsmanship is on point; Sturdy and heavy duty.They make me want to paint so I can work with them more often.”
“100% recommend! Me and my husband had our wedding here 8/13/22 Lois and the rest of her team at the four season banquet house were amazing!!! Every step of the way Lois helped us make sure we did not forget any details and offered many helpful suggestions. Policies are super great to work with as well as we were able to personalize so much of our big day ( had our dog at our wedding, a food truck, ect! ) throughout the day Lois and her team even took pictures to help us remember our big day! This was so thoughtful as we will not get all of our professional ones back for some time. Some of the ones she took ended up being some of our favorite! At the end of the night her and her team even helped us clean and pack up everything! We can’t wait to come back again some day!! Thank you for helping us in our fairytale”
“i found this place on tiktok and it was awesome!! i traveled from ohio and knew this was somewhere i had to go. i ended up meeting the person that ran the tiktok account and they were such a sweetie. it was so awesome to browse everything!”
“We had a great time having our wedding reception at the Hampton Event Center.Pros:- Lori is very nice and provides lots of helpful tips and suggestions for making sure the event goes smoothly. As people who hadn't planned a wedding before, having her as a guide made things a lot easier.- The decorations were quite pretty. I especially liked the Christmas decorations for our December wedding.- The synthetic flowers look almost real. Don't fret about looks if you want to save money on flowers.- The tablecloth, runner, and napkin selection is diverse with some good colors.- The table runners are very sparkly and pretty to look at.- The bartender provided for events is really friendly.- Being able to have an all-inclusive package is very helpful, especially for us coming in from out of town. It makes preparations a lot smoother. Not having to hunt around for a cake, flowers, caterer, etc., is very nice.- The layout of the hall is very efficient and organized.- Having card boxes and gift tables ready for use is very helpful.- Being able to order cases of craft beer that you can take home after the wedding is great.- Although many people didn't use it at our wedding, the offers for hotel discounts for guests coming in from out of town are very helpful.- The location of the venue, being in the North Hills, would be very convenient for most weddings.- The gazebo is great for photos.Cons:- The easel they provided for seating charts is unstable/broken. I would consider bringing your own system for your seating chart.- Some of the dinner sides are a bit bland, mainly the mashed potatoes and green beans.- Lori can sometimes be a bit slow to respond to emails, but I think some of that can be attributed to the workload she has.We definitely recommend that you consider Hampton for your wedding reception.”
“We had our wedding August 10, 2024 at the center with 143 guests in attendance. We worked with Debbie for nearly 2 years on planning the event, with every question answered and very quickly answered too!
Pros: We were able to decorate the venue as we wanted and were able to do all of our own florals! Amazing! We could decide if we wanted our ceremony to face the building or into the field, and most importantly we were able to figure out an intermission. Additionally, we were able to have the center the day before to decorate - which was a huge relief! There are 3 caterers available, but honestly you just need Remos!! As a PSA, you cannot hear the pool from the ceremony space, not even the slightest noise was present for our very emotional ceremony.
The cons: as another reviewer mentioned, there are so many nickel and dime fees ($300 to turn the string lights on, $10 for every cocktail table, $100 for the arch, ceremony fee, extra time fee, etc…) these should just be built into the cost of the venue and ended up racking our bill up. The biggest ticket item is the other rentals on the lot, we rented out the other facility in case of rain, but the other two were rented out to other occasions on our wedding day (hence why we turned the ceremony to face the building, which is not the norm). Debbie and the maintenance team did everything they could have to keep them quiet, but the other renters did come out and watch our ceremony from afar (but were very respectful). It’s just a heads up! The bartenders were good according to our guests, but missed a whole case of alcohol we had bought and brought in. We sent someone out to get more because we believed we had ran out, come to find out it was overlooked.
The reason for the loss of stars: we were told the security cameras were functional and where weddings normally put the card box. Unfortunately when we asked for footage the next day, we were made aware AFTER THE FACT, that the cameras were not functional on our event. We would’ve moved our gift table if we would have known ahead of time.
Overall, our guests and more importantly us, wouldn’t have picked a different venue for our big day. Debbie was a joy to work with and it made for an absolutely beautiful day. We will be recommending to everyone we see/meet. Thank you!”
“Very nicely appointed venue. Well laid out with a very cool and comfortable atmosphere. Lovely dining area and highly functional conference area if you are in need of a day long event venue. The “working” areas are a huge asset for professionals who need to plug in or a few minutes of privacy. But I loved the custom scent that they have piped in most of all. I need that at home!”
“When I came to the wedding at the venue it was VERY Enchanting. My partner and I had an AMAZING Time. When Him and I get Married this will definitely be 1 of the area's WE consider ?”
