Great venue for any show unfortunately they ran out of a drink that they have on the menu which I thought was very odd

Mm 11 dollars for a vodka redbull is highway robbery - especially for bottom shelf shit.

The DJ for Libra SZN was impeccable but the crowd was small, she didn't have the crowd she deserved 🙌🏼 saved her info for my wedding tbh lol

Excellent small club for loud concerts. It's always fast and easy to get through the check-in.

I want to like this place so badly. It has a cool vibe. It feels like a real, homespun venue. Sound is decent if not the best upstairs. Staff is friendly. All good things.

But Ticketmaster/Live Nation ruins everything it touches, and the last show I went to didn't have paper tickets, couldn't buy them, and tickets were not available at all with cash. Credit card only. The person literally just enters your credit card manually into whatever live nation/tm site they're using.

Tickets often have about 40% in fees added to them because of this. Most venues make it easy to get paper tickets to avoid the fees. I buy tickets without fees at Mr. Smalls and with very low fees at the bar at Thunderbird. And they always have paper tickets for their shows.

I realize the venue gets bullied into this, but this isn't very punk or homespun. Not allowing cash for cover/tickets let's the government monitor everything we do. Again, that's not punk.

We need venues to push back because us, as fans, have no voice. Ticketing scams are ruining live music and every venue needs to do their part.

I hate leaving negative reviews for music venues due to ticketing because I know they don't like it either.

Edit: I'm updating my review because of the heartfelt response from the venue and by realizing that they can't control a broken ticketing industry. They seem to be trying, and in a world of chain venues I have to support the independent ones that are doing their best to navigate this awful reality of Live nation/AXS.

You never know it from the outside, but this place is a fantastic venue for pizza. You may be thinking that you're walking into a music hall, which you are, but the same time they have a bar restaurant and great service. There's a huge selection of pizzas, and although it may take a little while to be serve the pizza, the weight is well worth it.. this is one of the best pizzas in Pittsburgh. The crust is fantastic and the topping, sauces and cheese are tremendous. It may take you a little looking to find the entrance but inside is a phenomenal Pizza establishment.

Atmosphere was amazing. Music was super loud but that’s on the sound guy. I didn’t notice, but they do offer free earbuds here my gf said, which is sweet. Service was great workers super nice. Setting is awesome.

Amazing pizza! We came from a recommendation and ordered takeout for a pie and the fingerling potatoes. We needed to wait about 20-30 minutes for food to be freshly cooked, but it was worth the wait. I will come again the next time I’m in Pittsburgh.
