I was looking for a place (LGBTQ+ bar to be specific) to just go get a small buzz and have a fun…read morenight out. My first night there was Bingo Night (which is held each Wednesday except for the third one of each month). I expected to be told that it was too late to play as I arrived halfway through the event. But to my surprise they told me that it wasn't and I managed to almost win (dammit O-75). My second trip in was Naked Trivia night (held on the second Sunday of each month) put on by a local naturist club. THAT was a little terrifying considering how self-conscious I am about my body. But no one said anything about it and I even had a full-fledged conversation with the bouncer for almost a half an hour. As far as the food goes, the only thing there is a basket of single serve chip bags for $1.00 per bag and that basket is tucked away in a dark corner. The drinks are a bit overpriced but then again, it is still a bar and not your living room. I had fun both times so far and plan to become a regular. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

You could imagine how excited I was by the name since Jamie W and I had our very first trip to the…read morereal P-Town just a year ago. It was fun hanging at the boatslip during balmy weather. But now here I was in Pittsburgh struggling in near-freezing conditions and without Jamie. I was staying the night at the Hyatt House down the street and decided to brave the cold to come here. Mind you, it was a weeknight, and the place was fairly empty at around 8PM. I remember there were three guys at the end of the bar and a couple of loudish girlfriends blathering on about the lack of available men in Pittsburgh. Struck me they were minimizing their chances in looking for them here. I just sat at the bar waiting for the bartender to show up and probably would've left had it not been cold. Besides, it wasn't like I was in WeHo where I could just go next door. He finally arrived and took my order, the $5 Tequila Sunrise (Photo 9). Definitely a nice price, and he mixed it with the right potency. A little chit-chat would've been nice, especially as an out-of-towner, but alas, this was not a Tokyo mama-san snack bar. This was Pittsburgh, and this left coaster felt a bit out of place, even at a gay bar. DRINKS - 3.5 stars...the right price for my libation AMBIANCE - 3 stars...pretty standard gay bar decor SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit more welcome would've been nice TOTAL - 3 stars...not the P-Town I knew RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

I'm from Long Beach, Cali, and our gay scene, for the most part, are gay dive bars. Well after…read morecoming here, I can say that my gay dive bars are not true dive bars! This spot is a DIVE! Came on a weekday night and there was a decent crowd there. Bartender didn't seem to notice is for a while but once I interacted with him, I noticed he may have a diagnosis and I was super happy. In a past life, I worked in high school special education and finding jobs for my students was the most fulfilling part of my job. So glad they gave this kid a chance. Drinks weren't that strong but were fine. Music was great and took me back to high school. Lastly, as a Californian, it's always so weird to me to see smoking permitted inside of a business lol.

My friend and I come here every Friday for happy hour. Over the past few weeks, we noticed that our tabs didn't seem to match what we were actually drinking, so this time I decided to ask for our receipts. That's when we saw we were both charged for shots of Espolón tequila--something neither of us ordered. I was drinking margaritas and always ask for well tequila in mixed drinks. This makes me wonder how many times we've been charged for drinks we never had. Completely unacceptable. When we brought this up, we were told to speak with the manager to correct the tab. He was extremely rude and immediately accused us of ordering the shots, even though he wasn't present. He was more focused on watching RuPaul than helping. He then claimed my card had been declined weeks earlier, which forced me to call my bank and dispute a double charge. Thanks for the extra hassle. You come here expecting a good time and leave not wanting to return. Management clearly needs to address issues with staff to prevent this from continuing. That so-called manager has no business working in customer service. I've only seen him on Fridays and Saturdays--about 5'10", skinny, wearing sweats and a gray Carhartt beanie. He's always rude, but this encounter was beyond the limit. This happened around 9-10pm in the middle bar. If you decide to come here, be careful and always ask for your receipt--otherwise, you may end up overcharged.

Me and my girlfriend were walking around Lawrenceville a couple weeks ago hitting up some breweries…read morewhen all of a sudden she said I need to go to the bathroom. So as we walked by this place and I was like let's go in here and use their restrooms and have a drink. I had no idea it was a gay club at first, but that didn't bother me one bit after I soon found out. I used to go to one with my gay friends in college and I always had a blast. We were greeted by a super friendly bartender who flirted it up with us. He definitely thought we were there to have some fun so we just ate it up and flirted back because people who are comfortable in their sexuality can do that. The place was empty at the time we walked in but started filling up with patrons soon after. Needless to say we ordered a couple drinks and then an older lady came in and sat beside us and boy was she a trip. We chatted it up with her for a good 30 minutes while doing a shot with her. She was a lot of fun and had some great stories. Thanks! This is a cool place and I'd definitely stop back to have a drink and some laughs. Great spot for drinks with excellent service and fun patrons. Cheers :)

I don't think there is a cleaner or nicer bar down there (Tarentum station bar is nice but it is not open late). I didn't give it five stars because it doesn't have a full menu currently

I've been there for karaoke a few times, which I love. I wish that they were still selling food. Maybe they will again someday. It was nice to get a bite there before karaoke starts.

It's very eclectic, tropical, and the music is great 70's-80's rock at a nice volume. They also have a few TV screens for sports or other interesting viewing. Dave has been my bartender both visits. He's cool, welcoming, and informative regarding the different beers they offer. He recommended a wheat beer called Allagash and served it with an orange slice. Delicious and refreshing. Not as sweet as Blue Moon. I really enjoyed it. Their kitchen is currently closed, but they allow outside food and have free popcorn. They make me want to drive over hills and through tunnels to get here!
