Brillobox

Hipster haunt that’s very gay-friendly but not gay-exclusive (but depending on the event, might have more gays than straights).

Blue Moon

This friendly and casual tavern offers a full selection of beers and well drinks, plus specialty drinks. They have great deals such as $1 drafts on Wednesdays or $1 well drinks from 10pm-12am on Thursdays. They also host special events like barbecues and live entertainers.

Brewer’s Hotel

You can’t get any more casual than this old bar with inexpensive drinks and a friendly crowd. Draws a larger crowd on Sundays around 5PM.

Donny’s Place

A very casual bar with pool tables and dart boards. Downstairs, a basement bar called Leather Central well known for guys wearing their leather apparel. Free parking. Don’t miss the Sunday Brunch.

Cattivo

Cattivo might seem a little divey during the week, but it transforms into a fabulous dance club with great DJs and events. During the week, check out the happy hour and food menu.

P-Town

You know you are in Pittsburgh when you can watch a Steeler’s game and hot guys stripping in the same bar. Don’t worry, they don’t overlap.

5801 on Ellsworth

Located in the upscale Shadyside section of Pittsburgh, this Video lounge and cafe plays new songs and classic videos. Check for drink specials every night of the week. Excellent
food and a large outdoor deck for eating and drinking.

Spin

A trendy decor and upscale atmosphere make Spin a great spot for a real night on the town. Grab a drink and mingle with the well-dressed crowd–who knows where it will lead you.

Real Luck Cafe (Luckys)

Very casual bar with two floors. The younger crowd tends to hang out downstairs, where they drink, eat pizza and listen to music. The older crowd goes upstairs to dance to disco or 80′s music, play Ms. Pac Man or to watch go-go boys.

Longbada Lounge

This racy dance club is worth the trip out of town. And everyone really is welcome. You’ll see all types, queens, dykes, fairies, bears, you name it.
