It took me over 3.5 years to come here, which is funny to me, as I am a very regular concertgoer. I…read moream super happy that Club Cafe reopened under new ownership, as that opportunity may have been otherwise not possible. Walking in here, I was immediately surprised by how small and intimate this venue is. There are a few places to sit here, but it is mostly standing room only. No matter where you are, you are likely no more than 15 feet from the stage. Just a heads up -- there is a slight step when you enter into the venue, so step up and/or over it. I tripped on the slight angled step of the door and slightly stumbled into the venue. There are a lot of local acts that perform here -- many that I am not aware of, and so that may have been what kept me from coming here in the past. I happened to come here for a national act, Ondara, of whom I was actually surprised to see performing in such a small venue. I would definitely come back here again for the right performer/band. The acoustics are wonderful.

It's standing room only and depending on the concert can get quite packed. There's a bar on the left hand side of you're looking at the stage. It's a small place inside so any spot is pretty good. If you get there early enough you can get right upfront for the performance.

The beautifully landscaped gardens, colorful flowers, and manicured green spaces create a whimsical atmosphere right in the heart of Oakland. The plaza offers something for everyone, with multiple food vendors, a charming merry-go-round, and an outdoor venue that regularly hosts concerts and community events. Alot of the vendors are not open until later in the day (( I frequently come while my son is at appts in Oakland, so I have not tried by yet)). Whether you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy lunch, spend time with family, or simply take in the scenery, Schenley Plaza is a vibrant gathering space that combines natural beauty, entertainment, and great food in one unforgettable location.

Quick and friendly. Kind of a small area but just enough room to enjoy the band and have a good view. This is a non smoking bar but smoking is allowed outside. Tickets were $10 online & $15 at the door. https://moondogs.us/shows/ Nice variety of bands play here including local legends like Norm Nardini. Prices aren't that bad, Domestic beers are $4.50. A must visit for music lovers. Highly recommended for a fun night while enjoying live music in a cool atmosphere.

I have spent many a nights at ole Moondogs for gigs by touring and local musicians. My ex-husband's band played there often and he also hosted an open mic night way back in the day. They are primarily a blues joint but welcome all genres to perform. The acoustics are rock solid. This is truly a lost gen in the world of old-school, live music venues. The bar is more of a beer & shot vibe and that's just spot on, isn't it? Folks working there are cream of the crop! A Pittsburgh institution to be proud of.

Order a beer and you will be fine- if you like beer. We reserved 6 tables and our server Katie was awesome! More band vibe than dueling piano, but still a fun time, just don't expect to drink real drink. Only downfall to this place is the bartenders they don't know how to mix drinks!

I decided to give Howl at the Moon a visit when I was in Pittsburgh for one night and checking out a few downtown spots on a Friday. I've previously been to the location they have in Chicago, so I knew that they're fun for hanging out and enjoying some live music. There was a decent crowd but still plenty of room at the bar for flagging down a bartender and ordering a drink. I appreciated that the space inside was very spacious and the bar both centrally located but also a bit towards the back, leaving plenty of room between it and the stage for the music/bands. The drinks are your standard well drinks and draft beers mostly, but they do the job and are a good price. Looking for a spot in downtown Pittsburgh with great vibes for hanging out and having fun with some drinks and music? I definitely recommend Howl at the Moon!

Not the best by any means but not bad to where it will ruin the wing for you I would tie these with Nox's because Nox's buries them with the sauces but Gooski's has the edge on them with the wing cook Cigs inside as well.
