A few, but not all, of some of the restaurants that stood out to me last year 🍾

I can’t thank everyone enough who joined our journey in 2024, as Creatives Drink evolved into an epicenter for content creation, social media, and brand collaborations within the food, beverage, and lifestyle sectors. As we pivot from hosting events to fostering growth for our partners, our focus has never been clearer. In 2025, our goals are to expand into a physical space, grow our community, build a larger team, and continue inspiring creativity. Every morning I tell myself, KEEP GOING 🍾

The day is here! Our hard T cocktail in partnership with @lawrencevilledistilling is making its way across the state! Check the link in bio to see what state stores carry The T. If it isn’t there, ask them to order it! Thank you all again for supporting our first product 🚇

Celebrating 8 Years of @thewarrenpgh with someone I look up highly too in the beverage industry of Pittsburgh @mspencerwarren 🍾 The Warren has been staple downtown and in our city as a whole. If for some reason you have never heard about it…you need to head down tonight.

Chef Kristen Butterworth from the recently opened @corkandcrustpgh 🍷 Cork & Crust highlights Neapolitan Style pizza, classic staples, wine and cocktails in Oakland. Simple pleasures, revamped.

“This place isn’t my restaurant, it’s Bar Marco.” Built by people who care. Kept alive by the people who work here. Thanks for sitting down to chat @chefpapagiorgio 🍾

Hands down, my favorite in the city 🙏

Creatives Supporting Creatives | 10 Local Shops on one December Afternoon For our annual company Christmas party gifts, we made it a point to shop local and support the community we love. Pittsburgh is filled with diverse, inspiring shops offering pieces you simply can’t find at a big-box store or online. Shopping local means discovering one-of-a-kind gifts, and supporting your friends, neighbors, and fellow creatives along the way. This year, we visited some of our favorite local brands: • Steel City | @steelcitybrand • Heat Check | @heatcheck • Shadyside Variety Store | @shadysidevarietystore • Moda | @modapittsburgh • Vestis | @vestispgh • MSTR Grooming & Goods | @mstrcutshair • Franklin & Mercer Co. | @franklinandmercer • TRIM | @trimpittsburgh • Hot Haute Hot | @hothautehot • Fort Pitt Trading | @fortpitttradingco • Mello & Sons | @melloandsons These shops are incredible members of our city, and many are personal friends, clients, and longtime supporters. While this list highlights a few favorites, there are so many more worth exploring. Please take the time this holiday season to explore our vibrant neighborhoods and support the local businesses that make our city such a wonderful place to call home. This holiday season: gift thoughtfully, gift intentionally, gift locally! 🫶🎄🎁

Forever.

This is Oakland.

Here’s to the bridges that bring us together 🍾 @downtownpitt Light Up Night is next week and we will be packing the bridge with local beer, wine and spirits again. Catch the fireworks, see the people, light up the city.

Deception isn’t always hidden in shadow; sometimes it’s the light itself that blinds you to the truth, when you’re too close to see that duel realities exist at once and neither is real.
