Pittsburgh Brewpub Cited By Health Department Seemingly Closing
A popular Pittsburgh brewpub seems to be shutting its doors after health code violations were revealed in a recent inspection.
PITTSBURGH, PA — A popular Pittsburgh brewpub cited last month by the Allegheny County Health Department apparently is closing.
Sly Fox Brewery in the Skyline on the South Side is being marketed by Legacy Realty Partners, which calls the establishment a "5,922 square foot former brewery space" on its website and notes that all of its brewery equipment is for sale.
Legacy is looking for someone to sublease the space.

The consumer alert was issued on Jan. 8 and lifted on Jan. 16.
