๐Ÿ’› Connected Legacy Tip: Riverbend Music Center is approximately 0.8 miles away, about a 15-20 minute walk. Expect larger crowds before concerts at Riverbend and PNC Pavilion, so give yourself extra time. Online ordering is unavailable on show days due to high volume. The spacious beer garden offers plenty of additional outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Check out their rotating selection of house-brewed craft beers and seasonal options, and check their current weekly specials before visiting, as food and drink specials change throughout the week.
