Located on the North Shore next to Heinz Field, I stopped by last season instead of taking the time to get ready to tailgate in the parking. Terrific pregame party with a buffet. Calico's is not only a great spot before a Steelers game but every weekend. Dance party every Friday and Saturday ...Read more

The Steel Town Inn is a perfect example of a Pittsburgh area neighborhood bar. It's inexpensive, filled with locals, packed with lots of things to keep your attention - pool, MegaTouch, darts, even live bands - and great bar food. I stopped in at noon on a Sunday, parched and looking for my ...Read more

When I walked into the 1613 Saloon I instantly noticed how updated and clean the place was. All the walls were freshly painted, the glass and mirrors spotless. No dust on top of the cigarette machine and the usual bar signage about prices and specials were kept to a minimum. It felt a room in your ...Read more

Cheerleaders scores high marks in all categories not because it is the best gentleman's club in the area, but because it is one of best nightlife spots in Pittsburgh.

I finally have someplace else to recommend: Questions Night Club. When I stopped by it was disco night ...Read more

The Brentwood area doesn't see new bar openings very often and when it does it is usually a new bar in an old location. Milestone, however, is brand new and a very unique type of bar for the area. I would say that the first thing to set it apart from every other bar around it is size.The bar is ...Read more
