Inspired by The Highline in NYC. Stairs or elevator rise to the platform suspended above the areas…read moresurrounded by and with views of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, The Monongahela River, the Liberty Bridge, Downtown. On this platform which has entry points to businesses are planters full of plants and seating all along the way. There are even bike racks if ya really want to bring your bike up via the elevator (I just left mine locked up in racks below). This is a great destination from the rail trail. Below is outdoor seating as well as a bike shop and Sly Fox Brewery and Pub which I can attest in my separate review as a great place to grab a bite even if you aren't a beer drinker (that would be the case for me). There also is a place upstairs, Da Fer Coffee and Tea that I didn't visit but advertises as having light dining fare but appears to close at 3pm so may or may not be a viable option. Keep a watch on its hours. Love, love, love. It is also convenient to Station Square and the Color Park along the rail trail. Plus, some of Jeremy Raymer's murals are here. Do check out this venue!

I believe The Highline opened a few months ago in August therefore there are still many vacant storefronts. But the architecture and exterior are of the building is beautiful with the warehouse features still exposed and embellished. Even the parking garage is amazingly clean and aesthetically pleasing with all the steel doors and columns! Right now, De Fer Coffee, Green Mountain Energy and Anytime Fitness exist in the building now. There are still multiple spaces and I'm excited to see what comes in the future. Architecture, views and design are 10/10.

This place is insanely gorgeous! I just loved my time here as a guest of an event I attended…read morerecently. Every room seems to have a different feel to it. You could seriously have one heck of an event here with some creativity. There's even a full working kitchen... which probably comes in handy for caterers. If I was getting married (again:) or looking for a large event space I'd look here. You could really work some cool themes into the event. I'd love to do a Mad Men themed event here, it just seems to lend itself to that era. But I kinda think you could do anything with the venue. The only thing that would be an issue is that you would absolutely need to hire a valet service. We all know what a pain in the ace parking is in the South Side, double that with a super narrow street and you're pretty much parking miles away.

The space is as versatile as it is impressive…read more I am having my rehearsal dinner, wedding AND reception at Jay's, so we're really using the whole place and couldn't be more pleased. My fiance and I were looking for a New York loft-type venue that could hold around 180 people. In New York this venue would cost the same amount that my whole wedding will cost (we looked there first and hurried it back to the 'burgh). We're planning our Pittsburgh wedding from San Francisco, so it's important that we have vendors who know what they're doing without meeting us often. Jay has been great. He's not so fantastic with email, so get him on the phone to schedule. We're even just dropped by to look at the space and never had trouble being buzzed in. Jay and his colleague Mike who works on videography are always very honest recommending vendors who know the space and can work with us from a distance. Totally worth the money for this space and the ease of working with Jay.

Located just in the back of Dr. Tumblety's specialty shop (behind a bookcase of course) it boasts Victorian romance, intrigue and mystery with its handsome furnishings and accessories. Everything screams early-1900s. The craft cocktails are next level as is the service. The drinks are curated with house-made spirits. They also have stellar mocktail options. I've been here for cocktail tastings, burlesque shows, and other events.

Bingo is the name of the game, and those who don't get there early could get shut out. "I play bingo wherever I can, and I like it here a lot," said Mary Anne Fischer. She's not a club member, but you're not required to be for bingo games. "They're so nice here, and everyone acts like you're part of the club," Fischer said.

I learned a little something about culture here. Not Slovak culture, but bingo fanatic culture, aka…read moregambling addiction. The space is wide open and airy with lots of long tables, each seating one to three players - many players took up entire tables with their excessive quantity of bingo cards, wide variety of dabbers (often in a specifically designed tote bag), and in some cases, an array of good luck charms. Bright fluorescent lights illuminate the scene and a balcony with overflow seating was our vantage point for observation (and play). Their website says they have a smoking floor and a non smoking floor, so I was imagining a darker smoke filled social hall, but there is now no smoking allowed and I soon realized that bingo is not a social game. With my one bingo card, I had twelve boards to keep up with (twelve is the minimum for play = $12), and let me tell you, I had a hard time staying with it - they call them out fairly rapidly! Chatting and joking with my friend was hardly possible without blowing our game. The food was super limited, low quality, mostly packaged junk. No alcohol is served. There is only one reason to attend and that is for the hope of winning money. There was an interesting buzz in the room toward the end of each game, like the group had a psychic (more like experienced) knowledge that bingo was about to be called. This collective murmur felt like a communal expression of frustration and anxiety. We try so hard, come so close and rarely succeed. The demographic of the room is statistically disadvantaged peoples. In addition to bingo, dealers on the floor sell other sorts of game tickets, like paper slot machine cards. The psychological exchange between the dealers and the players was like a crack deal; the dealers knew many of the players, knew when to come around, what to say and used lingo an outsider would not understand. There was an antsy desperation to win among the addicted, me, I just wanted to get outta there. With a packed house, there is no doubt someone is winning, that is the Slovak Catholic Sokols and their beneficiaries. As for the venue, although full of characters, it has no character itself - it is one of those big quick construction metal buildings.
