What Does Lawrenceville Need?

Lawrenceville is a great neighborhood, and one of our favorites in the city. But, every area has it's wish list of businesses and attractions. For example, we think Lawrenceville could use a dry cleaner or tailor shop, a great ice cream place and more walkways to give access to the riverfront. Add a bagel shop, prepared food market and a better full service grocery store and we'd never leave!


The Lawrenceville Corporation is a local organization whose mission is “to act as a catalyst and conduit for reinvestment in the Lawrenceville community.”  They have a few wish list items of their own such as:
  • A diverse community that embraces a wide variety of newcomers and long-time residents.
  • A thriving and competitive business district that attracts customers from around the region.
  • A safe, healthy and clean community.
  • An attractive neighborhood full of amenities including shopping, restaurants, green space, parks and recreational facilities.
We want to hear from you! What businesses or amenities do you think are needed to improve our neighborhood and achieve the Lawrenceville Corporation's vision? Leave your comment below or tell us on Facebook.

Coming Soon: The Allegheny Wine Mixer

Adding to the diverse mix in Upper Lawrenceville is The Allegheny Wine Mixer, slated to open in mid-July. This new hangout will focus on international wines from places like Spain, Italy and South America and craft beers both local and international. Although AWM doesn't have a kitchen, they will be partnering with other Lawrenceville business to bring you just the right mix of snacks to pair with your wine or beer. They will be serving delicious charcuterie from Cure, cheeses from Wild Purveyors and bread from La Gourmandine.

Owner Jamie Patten is excited to bring a relaxed wine bar to the neighborhood, and sees AWM as "a place for regulars to hang out in a jeans and t-shirt environment while enjoying high quality products at everyday prices." The intimate setting will be a perfect place to unwind after work or on the weekends. Hours will be Wednesday - Sunday 5pm-12:30am, and Jamie says they may extend their hours based on customer feedback in the initial months.

Jamie and assistant manager Lisa Walter both bring a ton of experience and knowledge to the table (or wine bar).  Jamie is a Court of Masters Certified Sommelier with more than 10 years experience in wine sales and food service - you may know her from Toast or the Silk Elephant . And over the past 10 years, Lisa has worked her way from bartender at a local restaurant, up to the management level at Pittsburgh Golf Club. With her experience and renowned people skills, Lisa will be a great asset to AWM.

Of course, being in a Wylie Holdings property, The Allegheny Wine Mixer is going to have a unique interior. Jamie has been working on the build out of the space since April - it will include a bar designed by furniture designer Joe Kelly and a granite bar top from Antique Granite, both located on Butler Street.

Stay tuned to our Facebook page for details about The Allegheny Wine Mixer's official grand opening in July. If you're planning a private event for the summer, consider booking it at AWM now, we're sure this space will fill up quickly!
