Kingfly Spirits, a craft distillery and event venue that had operated in Pittsburgh's Strip District for seven years, has announced its immediate closure. The 10,000-square-foot facility, originally a horse stable built in 1907, had evolved into a versatile gathering space hosting weddings, corporate events, jazz nights, and nonprofit fundraisers.
Why it matters
The closure of Kingfly Spirits marks the end of an era for the Strip District's 'Distillery Row' and the loss of a popular community hub that had become known for its creative programming and as a secondary home for jazz and dancing clubs in the city.
The details
Kingfly Spirits announced the closure via social media, stating that the business will no longer conduct bottle sales, serve drinks or grant public access to the building. The company had opened in 2019 as part of the Strip District's emerging distillery scene, but the business 'quickly became about so much more than what's in the glass,' hosting a variety of events and establishing itself as a creative hub in the neighborhood.
