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.

What can I say about this legendary music venue that hasn't been said before? And why is it that I…read morehave never reviewed it? 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.

I'm kind of surprised to see folks referring to this as the best venue in Pittsburgh. I did not…read morereceive that impression. I attended the Four Chord pre-show earlier this summer, featuring Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, 408, and some other performers. They didn't start the show on time and had us waiting outside. It was hot inside the venue too, which I didn't love. But the worst part about the experience was the sound. It was SO echoey. Maybe they were having an off night, but I was really regretting not having earplugs with me. The sets were good regardless, and it was nice that they had pew seating along the sides, but I wasn't otherwise super impressed with the venue itself.

I can't believe that I had just heard about this place a week ago. It has been around for three,…read moreor four years according to the door guy. The fact that they have a record/cassette tape/band shirt/cd store in the same spot is brilliance. It comes in very handy when you are in between bands, or waiting for the one band out of three that you came to see to finally go on. Also, if you are early it seems to be open, so you can kill time by perusing the record collection. The vegan kitchen is also a nice touch. It just has a very basic menu that is good, but not fancy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you were a fan of the Altar Bar, Mr. Smalls, or any other venue that is set up in a former church, than you will enjoy Preserving Underground. For most shows you will need to bring some ear plugs, or protective gear as it is very loud. It makes me reminisce about the old days of all the amazing Pittsburgh venues including the Electric Banana, Graffiti, Upstage, Club Laga, The Rex, Millvale Industrial Theater, City Limits etc.

There is an upper balcony but if you're like me, you like being right in the thick of the action at the stage. The only problem is that it can be a hike from the city and not a fun drive after a late night of music and dancing. Definitely too far to drink. The food is pretty good too. Overall, the experiences I've had are great.

We got a perfect table in the back corner that worked out perfectly for our group. We got to have dinner before the show and have everything cleaned up by the time the concert started. The staff is so professional that I feel it's made the performers that much more comfortable and confident to put on a great show!

The bartenders were friendly and kept things moving, which added to the overall good vibe. The only drawback was the parking. They do have 2 lots, but neither are adjacent to the building, and finding a spot was tougher than expected--something to plan for if you're attending an event. Overall, once you're inside, it's a fun, quirky venue with a lot of character. Perfect if you appreciate retro charm and don't mind a bit of a parking adventure.

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.
