The Hilltop

Our Commitment to the Pittsburgh Hilltop

Founded by Hilltop native Joe Calloway, RE360 is deeply and specifically committed to the Pittsburgh community and the people that call it home. RE360 supports and is actively involved in local businesses and events, and continues to renovate vacant and neglected homes and buildings in the underserved Hilltop communities of Allentown, Mt. Oliver, Southside Slopes and Beltzhoover. Here are some highlights of what makes the Pittsburgh Hilltop community unique!

Death Comes Lifting brings inclusive workouts, sick merch to Allentown's corridor of horror

Death Comes Lifting opened its first physical location on Feb. 4 to a crowd of tattooed, band-shirt-wearing visitors. The dark-walled interior is a far cry from your typical CrossFit or Orangetheory location, and founder Zak Bellante says that's by design — this is a gym by and for the misfits.

The Open Road: Pittsburgh’s First Alcohol-Free Bottle Shop Launches in Allentown

Although you can find smatterings of alcohol-free beverages in bottle shops around town, The Open Road is the first retail business in Pittsburgh fully dedicated to selling nonalcoholic drinks. Owner Mel Babitz stocks the shelves of her Allentown storefront, which opened late last month, with a dizzying array of bottles that mimic traditional spirits, wines and beer, minus the boozy parts. There are functional drinks spiked with botanicals such as kava and ginkgo biloba and simply-just-delightful-to-drink fizzy lifters, too.

Allentown Chose a New Style — It Went Goth

The Hilltop neighborhood has embraced its status as Pittsburgh’s slightly spooky territory, and it seems to be paying off. 



Call it goth, if you grew up in the ’90s, or metal if you’re a bit older. Up and down Warrington Avenue, an array of businesses underline the aesthetic. Among them: The Weeping Glass, a can’t-miss “Oddities & Curiosities” shop; metal-themed vegan eatery Onion MaidenDr. Tumblety’s “time-inspired specialty shop” with a secret speakeasy — pictured above — in the back (open for events only for now); the neighborhood’s anchor, Black Forge Coffee House; and decidedly cool nail salon Goodbye Lulu.
