P-Town vibes, and is MUCH more populated than Blue Moon; seems to attract many out of towners. Dont know about food but we just order pizza from Vocellis next door and they bring it over.Beer is inexpensive and cold and the crowd - lively. Whats not to like?

DJ shamed some poor women at Karaoke night!!Heard great things and was excited to go.I was talking to this nice couple visiting from out of town. The woman was shy about submitting a song and asked her partner to do it for her.The DJ was really rude to her partner and said the woman can do it herself (which is not great- but fine) but then the DJ chose to SHAME her over the mic.He made an announcement that we were all big kids and that not submitting your own song was childish.Not upset about the rule, but to make someone feel unwelcome and shaming them seemed unnecessary.I hope that this a one off incident and that they treat people with more compassion in the future.

My partner loves it here and we will be back. Its not my cup of tea personally (I like ones with more men haha) but it was clean, safe, very busy, and staff were friendly. The drinks were great too. I also liked the fact there were multiple rooms to hang out in depending on how loud/busy you like it.I read through the reviews and cant agree with any of the negative feedback thats been given.

This is a great little gay bar. It used to be almost exclusively, bear oriented, but in the past few years has taken on many different faces.Warning: If you’re not into drag, call first, because there’s a chance it could be happening any night.Karaoke by regular DJs is great. Every single person on the staff is friendly and helpful. Great prices, drink features, happy hour, and various parties and events.And about nce a month you can let it all out and sing. IYKYK.

This bar kicked us out just bc my friend was sick we were already on our way out and our Uber was 2 mins away when they kicked us out and told us we needed to leave, even tho we were very friendly and still left tips for everyone, it was 1 in the morning and putting 2 girls outside in the streets of Pittsburgh was very unthoughtful of them when we had told we were leaving anyway and didn’t want to cause them any issues or inconveniences

240 days relocated to the PGH area, it is currently my beverage stop of choice. Nothing extravagant or pretentious, just a good ole feeling of being home style. Service is good, portions are fair, the crowd is friendly, the staff is friendlier.Im going tomorrow, hope to see you...

Great fun atmosphere. The music and the drinks are great. Make sure you don’t miss Jellyfish on Fridays, the music is particularly good at events.

The best hardworking drag queens that Pittsburgh has to offer will take you away from your everyday routine. And the best bartenders that will serve you anything your drink list desires. Come unwind and meet local men and women in the area. Come get entertained!!!#pittsburgh #pride🌈 #pitt #pitbullsofinstagram #pittstop #pittsburghdragqueen #gaysingle #gaymen #pittsburghstop #pittsburghdrinks #pittburghartist #pittsburghdestination

They dont serve food that I know of. A nice place to go on Thursday and Sunday for Kareoke. The staff is friendly and they have many other events too. It is nice when they have events in the alley and put up another bar to be like a dance club.

Review №13

This was probably the best gay bar in Pittsburgh? Probably. The new management is doing some work and the bartenders are, too. Then theres karaoke! Sharon Needless makes this place insufferable white and abusive, though. Shrug emoji🎤 🎶🌈🥰 wont be returning

Ablist. Not inclusive. Drinks are good depending on which bartender you get.

10 dollars cover not including the drink. But the vibe is great, very diverse. And the staffs are helpful. Yet the cover can only paid by cash, make a note.

Review №16

Great Bar! I was here to perform, and the atmosphere was great. I would say they should invest in a more comfy, inviting dressing room for performers. It was quite cramped and kind of dirty.

Review №17

Not friendly to outsidersI was in the area temporarily for a few weeks, and tried visiting P town a few times. The only time I had a decent experience was the first day when I met a local and chatted for a few hours after which the bartender got noticeably nicer to me (though to be fair compared the other times Ive been there he was pretty chill the whole time). The other 3-4 times Ive been there the bartenders have ranged from rude to openly hostile. Deliberately passing me over and making me wait 10+ minutes to be served to attend to locals (when not busy). The underpouring is egregious, though reading the other reviews maybe they do that to everybody. After getting a super weak single I ordered a double (on rocks) that was legitimately less than a single anywhere else Ive been. I have traveled a lot throughout the US and across several continents, and I have had experiences where bartenders have been indifferent towards me or suspicious of me, but P town is on a very short list of places where I felt actively unwelcome. Not being a local is the only reason I can think of - I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt which seemed to fit the vibe, Im friendly, quiet, and polite, and I could see the preferential treatment happening. I gave P town one more try on a Monday night, it was quiet, I went and sat at the bar and watched the bar tender repeatedly attend to everyone else, do other tasks, etc, (and she made eye contact with me a few times so she knew I was there) and after about 10 minutes I finally decided I was done trying to make this place work and got up to leave. As I was leaving, the bartender yelled out Hey did you need anything? And I literally just waved and said No thanks Im good, to which she screamed across the bar WELL BYEEEE in a mocking tone. Seriously unreal, I feel like Im in some caricature of a locals bar. Never again.

If youre going to have a nude event where everyone has to be naked. How about having a doorman that actually explains what is going on! We are from Florida and a naked karaoke sign doesnt make sense when this is not a normal thing in other states .Bartenders were extremely nice and so was everyone there. But wont be back.

Something different for the LGBTQ+ & Straight communities. Every night of the week theres a super-welcoming environment for everyone with a judgement-free atmosphere dedicated to enjoying the time spent with each other in a diverse & accepting environment. Something for Everyone!!!

I enjoy going to this bar, the staff is friendly and fast, the events are diverse and inclusive. Smoke free with specified smoking section in the rear. Renovated and expanded back section, which makes the bar feel even more comfy. Definitely stop by if youre a fellow member of the LGBT community to enjoy a drink or two.

I have never take the time to leave a review about anything or anyone on this platform, the bartender at this location is extremely rude and unfriendly the young blond men not only will treat you bad only for being a costumer, he didn’t seem very happy about assisting people that where not his race, very hostile and unwelcome atmosphere the guy was obviously not sober!!!! He was Into some sort of drug that was making act the way that he was I really wish him would look for help and become a better person one day

Review №33

Its a bar for younger people. I went for the Jellyfish party. If you dont mind waiting in line 35mins for the mens restroom in a cramped hallway, having drinks spilt on you, watching your step all the time due to changes in the floor; wet floors, then this place is for you. There are plenty of hazards at this bar. EVERYTHING is dirty, and you cant get a drink because the lines were too long.

Review №37

I was here on a couple of occasions to get drinks or a coffee with friends. But the best time I had so far was on Superbowl Sunday in 2015. I wasnt feeling well enough to make the trek to SF and happen to live nearby, so I stopped in for a beer and ended up staying for the whole game. Whats more, the people here were very friendly and jovial and I ended up chatting with quite a few and forgetting that I was miserable earlier that morning. This is totally a neighborhood gem and Im so lucky to live within walking distance.P Town Bar

Neighborhood bar, with good drink selection. The bartender Joe should find new work though, he had a temper tantrum because we were splitting the tip. Only saw the credit tip and not the cash tip so he called us out in front of the whole bar. Needless to say he didnt get the cash tip. Would go back if I knew a different bartender was there.

Visited during Christmas time. Was decorated cute. Bartender acted like we were more of an annoyance coming in. Stood in the corner and smoked his cigarette. Signs of activities were inaccurate. Tonight they were promoting a DJ and Christmas Party....not sure when that was. Disappointing because it could have potential.

Bartender tried to run my card 2 x for the same 12 dollar order (i had 15 dollars left on a reloadable that I take out instead of my debt card incase I lose it) told me it got declined and then took my friends money for it. Never mind the fact that it was two cheap shots which should have been 6 not 12. Dudes was annoyed and a con
