They supply you with a party bus to take you to the venue beforehand which definitely set the energy for the night. Once there, we got escorted up to our table in the upstairs section. It was the perfect mix of comfy & private, but we still had the balcony to dance on over top of the main dance floor. The bottle list was a good mix of options at various price points, and they had good mixers too. The bottle girls & bouncers were all extremely professional & friendly. The music was great. I think this would be my only way doing Cavo now! Food: N/A Drinks: A- Service: A Ambiance: A

The floor was so sticky that your shoes would be fully stuck while walking. The staff is very uninterested in their jobs. Coat check basically grunted and pointed when asked questions. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the floor really doesn't make food of interest... even though the event had tables of appetizers set out. But honestly, it was too dark to even see what there was. Like I said probably a stereotypical night club, but it was just gross enough to make me happy that I never go lol Probably only fun when drunk and dancing.. but hey that's their genre!

It's not touristy at all, which is the reason why I like going every time I visit but might put you off if you go in expecting it to be. All in all, it's exactly what it says in its name - an ultra-dive bar where you're bound to make a new friend or two, hear hyperlocal city gossip, and have the bartender tell you a story about getting into a fight with a pigeon at a bus stop. Highly recommend their Dark and Stormy and Twisted Palmer cocktails. Side note, on a long enough timeline you'll hear from someone else at least once about how ridiculously short their bathroom stall is - can confirm, as I am 5'7 on a good day and was taller than it.

I agree with the previous review 100%. I would like to add that they told me that if I wanted an…read morealcoholic drink that I a HAD to pay $10 to get into the upstairs VIP area. Later I found out that I could go into Static and get one without the extra charge. Also, for the amount of lighting fixtures they had hanging from the ceiling, the light show was so sub par that I can't even put it into words. They need to hire a lighting director, or have the acts provide their own. All 3 bands I saw on Sunday made comments and complained over the mic that the lights were just blinding them. Piss poor production. And don't even get me started on the sound quality. We left half way through the headlining act because all I could focus on was a high pitched feedback that was never attended to by the sound crew. Just sad.

They had VIP in the same line as general admission for some reason. It was utter chaos. Then when I got to security they took my electronic cigarette even though I saw others have theirs inside and I swore I wouldn't use it inside. Then once we were inside we watched security guards harm some spectator. To the point he was bleeding and my friend who is a certified EMT was not allowed to help them and we got kicked out only for wanting to help. We were never disrespectful or broke rules and we were treated like crap.

But now here I was in Pittsburgh struggling in near-freezing conditions and without Jamie. I was staying the night at the Hyatt House down the street and decided to brave the cold to come here. Mind you, it was a weeknight, and the place was fairly empty at around 8PM. I remember there were three guys at the end of the bar and a couple of loudish girlfriends blathering on about the lack of available men in Pittsburgh. Struck me they were minimizing their chances in looking for them here. I just sat at the bar waiting for the bartender to show up and probably would've left had it not been cold. Besides, it wasn't like I was in WeHo where I could just go next door. He finally arrived and took my order, the $5 Tequila Sunrise (Photo 9). Definitely a nice price, and he mixed it with the right potency. A little chit-chat would've been nice, especially as an out-of-towner, but alas, this was not a Tokyo mama-san snack bar. This was Pittsburgh, and this left coaster felt a bit out of place, even at a gay bar. DRINKS - 3.5 stars...the right price for my libation AMBIANCE - 3 stars...pretty standard gay bar decor SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit more welcome would've been nice TOTAL - 3 stars...not the P-Town I knew RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?
