Who doesn’t love a great discount? Naturally, the Black Friday to Cyber Monday shopping weekend presents a wealth of shopping opportunities with discounted prices.
Naturally, Pittsburgh businesses and attractions are getting in on the Black Friday celebration as well.
So in this one, we thought we would share some of the best deals that we see popping up on our feeds to help you get the most out of exploring the city. From annual memberships and season passes to special releases at area breweries and distilleries, we’ve found some gems!
Note: The following is a quick summary of some of our favorite deals we have found so far. Black Friday deals tend to come out on an on-going basis and we will be updating this article over time as we find more. Additional terms and conditions may apply that are not included in our summary, please read deals in full prior to purchasing. Some discounts may be available now, while other promotions may only occur on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Discounted Season Passes to Area Attractions
Many area attractions offer discounts for Black Friday, often around their annual memberships.
Some specials we’ve seen include:
- Kennywood is offering a Black Friday sale to save up to $40 off 2024 season passes with extra perks and free admission to the 2023 Holiday Lights experience.
- Sandcastle has a similar offer with up to $50 off 2024 season passes for Black Friday.
- Idlewild is also getting into the Black Friday fun with up to $40 off for 2024 season passes.
*Note: We are not sure how long the discounts for some of these promotions will run.
Special Releases at Area Breweries
Area breweries tend not to do sales for Black Friday but often do special releases to mark the special day. So if you want to take a break with a great brew, you are unlikely to find much else of the year, it is a good day to hit a favorite.
Some specials we’ve seen in the works include:
- Eleventh Hour Brewing will re-release their anniversary beer, Burn Your Suit, with flavored variants this Black Friday. This may be your last chance to try this one until next September!
- Dancing Gnome will be doing a triple release of barrel-aged stouts, including Black Clouds (regular aged in Templeton Rye Barrels), Black Clouds Fudge Sundae (aged in Templeton Rye Barrels), and Fading Liminal States (aged in Maggie’s Farm Barrels)
Special Releases and Prices at Area Distilleries
Many Pittsburgh distilleries are also getting in on Black Friday deals, and we have seen some gems like the following:
- Liberty Pole Spirits is releasing three single barrel selections on November 22nd (note: Wednesday before Thanksgiving)- High Rye “Barrel Candy”, Peatedy Rye “Reason of the Saison” and Rye “Grapes of Rye.” Note that limited releases like these tend to sell out in just a few hours with folks lining up before the distillery opens to get a spot in line.
- Maggie’s Farm Rum often has a special release on Black Friday, typically a single barrel rum, sometimes a Queen’s Share Rum, and a rare bottle like a flavored brandy. 2023’s release will likely be no different; however, details have not been shared just yet- we just know something is coming.
- Wigle Whiskey is releasing some holiday-themed bottles and is having special prices starting November 22nd, like a $10 voucher for a future purchase after spending $125, discounts on flask kits and bitters sets, $5 off ready-to-drink bottles, an exclusive sale at the Ross Park Mall location, and more.
Big Burrito Bonus Gift Card Event
The Big Burrito restaurant group, featuring restaurant gems like Kaya, Mad Mex, Alta Via, Soba, and more, is back with its bonus gift card event in 2023.
The promotion, which runs from November 13th to 27th, will add on $10 for every $50 gift card purchase and $25 bonus bucks with every $100 gift card purchase.
It is worth noting that the bonus gift card is only valid for use from December 26th, 2023, to April 30th, 2024.
