Sly Fox Closes South Side Pittsburgh Brewery and Pub at Highline

Sly Fox Brewing Company announced the closure of its pub and brewery at The Highline on Pittsburgh’s South Side on Feb. 26, 2026, ending a run that began when the brewery opened the taproom and on-site production space in 2022. The move removes Sly Fox’s physical footprint from South Side after the Pennsylvania-based craft brewer expanded from its Phoenixville roots into Western Pennsylvania.

The Highline location represented Sly Fox’s Western Pennsylvania expansion following the company’s growth outward from Phoenixville. The South Side pub and brewery combined a neighborhood taproom with local brewing operations during its time at The Highline, marking four calendar years of service to Pittsburgh drinkers and Sly Fox fans since opening in 2022.

Sly Fox Brewing Company is a Pennsylvania-based craft brewer that launched the South Side site as part of its strategy to bring Phoenixville-brewed brands and on-site pours to Western Pennsylvania. The Feb. 26 announcement specifically referenced the closure of both the pub and the brewery at The Highline, signaling the end of on-site production and the taproom offering under the Sly Fox name at that address.

Patrons who visited Sly Fox at The Highline since 2022 will see the venue close following the company’s Feb. 26 statement. The closure affects the South Side location only; Sly Fox’s broader operations and its Phoenixville location were central to the brewery’s original expansion into Western Pennsylvania and remain part of the company’s footprint beyond Pittsburgh.

The shuttering of the Highline pub and brewery leaves a gap in South Side’s taproom scene that Sly Fox had occupied since 2022. With the company’s Feb. 26 announcement, the South Side community loses a Sly Fox-branded taproom and on-site brewing space that linked Phoenixville-origin beers to Western Pennsylvania drinkers.
