Atlas Bottle Works

With it’s connection to the Row House Cinema and the hundreds of selections chilled to drink at the point of purchase, I was an immediate fan. I absolutely plan to come back for a special event, if only to check out the tap room downstairs. The staff is super friendly and the price is very reasonable for the types of beverages you’ll find.

I stopped by Atlas with my roommate to catch a show downstairs in the bar. While the space is a little small with a band playing, it’s a place I would go again if there wasn’t live music. Obviously the beer selection is amazing, you can pick anything off the walls and they can chill it for you right away or you can choose from a limited selection of taps that changes.
I was most impressed with how knowledgable the staff was, not only about the selection they currently have, but about beer in general. Last winter Duck Rabbit released an oyster stout that was my favorite beer ever, and I was looking forward to them releasing it again this year, only to find out that it was a one-​time release for them. I was looking through the selection Atlas had, when my roommate asked one of the employees about oyster stout, he came out and showed me exactly where it was on their shelves. While it wasn’t the Duck Rabbit version I had been looking for, 21^st Amendment does a great job as well, and I really appreciated the recommendation.
If beer isn’t your thing, Atlas also carries craft sodas and mixers downstairs, if you’re looking to up your cocktail game or have a non-​alcoholic beverage.

I freaking love this place! Diverse beer selection (tons of options from breweries back home out west) and they’ll chill your beer in minutes! Prices are alright but I also incredibly absolutely enamored by the décor of the place. Maybe because it reminds me of my inner Pacific NW hipster child? Hahaha. :)

AMAZING SELECTION! Really cool machine that chills a bottle of beer off the wall in minutes. Really cool place to grab a beer, or 6.

Excellent, well-​organized craft beer selection, nice staff, and relatively fair prices. Atlas has a fairly unique setup, with it’s connection to Row House Cinema, and its tasting room downstairs. They also eschew large coolers of beer in favor of individual bottle chillers that work well for grab-​and-​go. The only downside of that approach is that the chillers take a few minutes to get your beer to drinking temps (for those of us who prefer cold beer), but the staff is nice and a brief conversation about beer or whatever will pass the time quickly.
Overall, Atlas is great for the craft beer curious, and it’s a great alternative to the case-​focused distributors in the area.

My boyfriend and I are huge fans of Atlas Bottle Works and the adjoining Rowhouse Cinema. We’ve stopped into the bottle shop numerous times before movies and once to pick up a custom twelve-​pack and some of their glassware as a gift for a (very lucky) friend. Last night we attended the opening of the tap room in their basement, and I must say it’s the perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful establishment. They’ve built a bar and added a few high-​top tables to the area that previously just held more beer choices and a large fridge with chilled options. The whole thing feels cozy and very welcoming, largely due to the friendly staff.
We sat down to look at the draft menu and saw an array of exciting choices. They offer 5-​ounce tasters of each beer for $ 2-​$ 3.50 a piece, so we decided to build our own flight of four. ($ 8 flights of beers selected by the bartender are also available.) For around $ 11 with a tip we ended up getting four complex and delicious beers in an airplane-​shaped glass tray (flight, very pun-​y!) which felt like a great deal to us. It was the perfect amount for two people. I was happy to try so many different types of beer at once and definitely found some new favorites! I love that they encourage doing beer flights at Atlas, since it’s something I don’t see a ton of in Pittsburgh as a whole. I’ll definitely be back here to enjoy them more often now that it’s a convenient option.

What an awesome bottle shop! Sure. they don’t have the largest selection in the world (hence, the missing star), but they do always have awesome beers. They also have the best categorization I have ever seen in a bottle shop. For an experienced craft beer drinker, I don’t need labeled sections for stouts, wheats, ciders, IPAs, etc. But for a new craft beer drinker, I can see how this is extremely helpful. It also cuts the time you spend staring at the bottles, trying to pick out the perfect six-​pack.
I have probably been in this bottle shop at least 5 times before knowing there is a downstairs to it. I had no idea until I visited on Sunday! The gentleman working told me to check it out and I hurried down the stairs. it was pretty awesome! They had a small bar with some drafts available and a couple tables. Not only that, but they had a cooler section as well with premade six-​packs and chilled beers. I am really looking forward to coming here some weekend for a couple drinks!
If you get a six-​pack, you get $ 3 off… which basically means a free beer (depending on the prices of your beers). What’s also SUPER awesome is that they have these little super chiller machines… that chill your beer in under 5 minutes. I had bought a cold beer on Sunday and a warm one that I hoped to drink at Smoke (two doors down) when our table was ready. The girl working took the beer and put it in this machine… not even 5 minutes later, it was completely cold! So awesome!
Definitely a great place with great beer and great people. Talk about a perfect date night– grab some beers from here, go to Smoke for dinner and Row House Cinema for a movie!

Great spot right on Butler St. We stopped in after Art All Night and enjoyed a great sampler and a six-​pack to go. The shop is welcoming, the downstairs drafts offer a great atmosphere, and the bottle selection is great!

Just what Lawrenceville needed to answer to Pennsylvania’s strict liquor laws! Convenient place to stop before you head to one of the nearby BYOBs.
Wide selection of craft beers and all at a decent price (cheaper than the bar, but not giant eagle) with a $ 3 discount of a six-​pack. They have a fancy bottle chilling machine to chill any bottle in a few minutes

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I made my own six pack, and the staff helped me choose between beers. They carry domestic, local, and imported brews. Beers are sorted by style. They have some refrigerated beers and can readily chill room temperature bottles. I was hoping for a greater selection, though.

Lawrenceville is lucky to have Atlas. I’ve been here many times to grab a pint, 6-​pack or growler. I came for the first time for an event (Dazed & Confused ⁴⁄₂₀ showing at Rowhouse, with a Lagunitas beer tasting & tacos). Pricing was SO reasonable, the atmosphere was fun, and the beer was fantastic. Could not have been any further from the hipster stereotype in Lawrenceville. We were greeted personally by the owners at Atlas, given personalized beer suggestions, and the buy-​a-​beer-​get-​a-​taco was fantastic. I’ll be back for sure!

I’ve never had a worse experience at a bottle shop. There was a pretentious guy in a black turtle neck that was a complete jerk. When trying to compliment the place, he wanted to argue about where the coolers were. He then forgot what beer he was chilling for me and asked if I remembered which one I was missing. I said no and asked what he had that was being chilled and he rolled his eyes at me and turned around. Love the place but the customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced.

I don’t drink beer at all, but my husband does. I wanted to give him beer as a gift, but had no idea where to start so a friend recommend Atlas. I walked in the shop and there were quite a few people there as it was Christmas Eve. Since I don’t know a thing about beer I waited for someone to assist me. After a few short minutes until the line went down, a nice gentleman was able to help me out. I let him know what type of beer my husband drinks and he made recommendations. He was spot on, as my husband loved them! I was very impressed at the selection the store has, the knowledge the associates had, and the great customer service they provided. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely LOVE this concept! We love mix and match six packs but sometimes the selection at other places can be limited. Not here! I love how they separate the beers by type and have an always-​changing seasonal selection. Each bottle is priced separately but reasonably so. Any mix and match 6-​pack automatically gets $ 3 off the total price. Personally, I only wish they offered more gluten free beers that are not ciders.

I’m a big fan of this place. I like stopping in every week or so to see what selection they have. There are so many varieties of beer from all over the place. The prices aren’t bad compared to several other places I have been too.

Really like this place! Great selection, staff know their beer, prices are better than some other local bottle shops. Love the old building, too.

There was an enormous selection of craft beers. Things we have never heard of and all of the favorites that we love. Biggest disappointment: almost $ 20 for a six pack and nearly the same to fill a growler. We love the idea of wide variety and love that it’s within walking distance but we will most likely opt for giant eagle market districts new beer café.
