Each year, we support hundreds of small businesses and performers, and this is our first opportunity to resume providing opportunities for them to support their livelihood. We encourage the community to come out and support them.\u201d<\/p>\n Among the menu items guests can enjoy are appetizers like succulent smoked chicken wings; pierogis with caramelized onions, scallions and sour cream; and Bavarian pretzels with hot beer cheese dipping sauce, as well a summer Berry Spring Green Salad, featuring\u00a0romaine and field greens lettuce blend, crumbled goat cheese, seasonal berries, candied walnuts and a raspberry vinaigrette.\u00a0A variety of gourmet flatbreads, sandwiches and hand-helds are available including the signature SteelStacks Smash Burger, featuring two beef patties, special Stacks Sauce, hickory smoked cheddar cheese, tomato jam and lettuce on a toasted potato roll, served with house-made kettle chips.<\/p>\n Diverse beverage options, including Buckets of Yuengling FLIGHT and Yuengling beers on draft, as well as frozen cocktails are also available. SteelStacks is one of the first locations in the region to have on draft Yuengling FLIGHT, the next\u00a0generation of light beer.<\/p>\n The Air Products Town Square and first floor of the ArtsQuest Center are the only portions of building open at this time.
