It’s alright. Watching the go-go dancers gets old pretty fast. The place is definitely a dump— not that that’s inherently bad. I would go back but not regularly

I got a generic Red Bull and paid full price 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s a hole in the wall bar, but for a good vibe it wasn’t bad. Felt safe despite the aesthetic. Participants seemed friendly/respectful enough.

I arrived at what was to be their opening of the bar, which I hadn’t known. I just wanted an afternoon drink & to relax before visiting family. Patrons were also standing by the side entry door (one I later learned was an owner), so I joined them to wait for the bar to open. Well, not one person even said hello to me, an obvious out-of-towner, & I stood there quietly gleaning the situation from their interactions. Bartender hadn’t shown, & didn’t for more than an hour. In that time, those people left, others came & stood, all the while I was left to try unsuccessfully to enter the varied group dynamics of these regulars. I finally went & sat in my car to wait, watching. In that same timeframe, I was accosted by 5 different people knocking on my windows…cigarette? Change? Buy a blunt? Need a blow job? Sir you’re in my usual parking spot…😳🙄 Loads of fun! I finally got in for a drink after returning & the most joy-filled bartender with a tail bounded over & made my drink, & my day. He was so happy & carefree about life it seemed, I had laugh inside at my previous thoughts. I had a silly smile for the rest of the night & my 3 hour drive back home. Don’t know his name, but he’s unmistakably cute & happy-go-Lucky. Thanks!

Smoking is allowed indoors, I was barely able to breathe, it’s like a scene from the 80s movies.
Skinny white go-go dancers, that all look the same, no effort in having different body types it skin colors.
It would take for ever to get a drink.

Great staff and extremely sexy dancers!!!! I finally made it there from Baltimore last night (been trying since summer 2021 when I completed the background check) to work as a dancer and hoping to make this a monthly recurring trip. Make sure you tip your dancers and your bartenders. This place needs to stay around and can't close.

I went on a Sunday night. I came just for the go go boys. I arrived at 9 pm but found out that the upstairs didn’t open until 10 pm. I waited in the 1st floor and ordered a couple Long Island Ice Teas. They were alright. The patrons were mostly older men. There was a good variety of music playing on the jukebox. The smoke wasn’t as bad as some reviews suggested. The upstairs opened up and I walked up the stairs. There was a square bar in the middle of the room. There were 4 white 20’s twink go go boys. They were wearing only socks. They were nice looking. I wish they had a couple naked Latino boys to spice it up. I stayed for an hour. I had a good time overall.

Honestly, one of my favorite places to go out in Pittsburgh--it's a dive bar, in the best sense possible. Have an open mind and have fun--let loose! The second floor has amazing house music on the weekends (and dancers!). Others comment on the no-nonsense aspects of this place, but it adds to the charm. And by that I mean this is an old building and the bartenders are direct in their service. No frills. Even if this isn't your scene, it should be noted that this is still part of Pittsburgh queer history and what they've done over the years. This is an independently-owned-and-operated bar and we are lucky to have Lucky's as part of our community!

Very surprised this place has a high overall rating. It's a dirty, total dive that looks like it should be condemned. The other patrons I met there were rude and invasive and seemed to want to direct me as to how to sit at a bar and order a drink. They only take cash which is inconvenient for many customers. They charge nearly $3.00 for water even if you've ordered a regular drink. I really can't see why anyone would waste their time or money here.

There is a chance that after a night drinking here you will end up a corpse floating in one of the rivers.

Only order drinks in cans or bottles. Ordered a gin and soda. Drink had black specks of mold and a long hair at the bottom of it. Drank it anyway, and don't feel so good. Had a good time there otherwise.
