History
The Workingmen's Beneficial Union was a German Cultural and Union Organization. This building was one of six branches of the WBU in the Greater Pittsburgh area. It was built in 1880 with a 6 lane bowling alley and ballroom event hall added in 1916. The WBU was a major part of its community not only hosting weddings, bowling and drinking, but also sold insurance and mortgages for over 100 years. Continuing the tradition of the century-old Workingmen's Beneficial Union, Pittsburgh's WBU is a multi use/cooperative space in the North Side. We have 2 event venues in our 15,000 square foot building. It is part indoor/outdoor event space, home of Spring Hill Brewing and home of Gaucho's food wagon, Asado. We take pride in our unique event space and have worked diligently to restore and showcase the history of this once abandoned building.
