Not far from Donny’s in between the Strip District and Bloomfield (Pittsburgh’s Little Italy) sits Brewers Hotel, a casual and friendly place to have an inexpensive drink. Donny’s is on Herron Avenue, a short jaunt from the Strip District, and is a casual bar with a pool table, food and darts upstairs and a basement bar called Leather Central. If you’re a man into leather Donny’s Place is where it’s at. While I’ve never been inside Club Pittsburgh I’d have to guess that if Brian Kinney really lived here, this is where you’d find him. Also in the Strip District you can find Club Pittsburgh, a men’s-only private club where you can work out, relax and socialize. This is a smoke-free club which makes this girl very happy, but rest assured dear smokers, there is a deck outside where you can puff away, allowing me to go home smelling as good as I did when I walked in. Cruze also serves as a venue for comedy shows and recently hosted renowned lesbian comedian, Suzanne Westenhoeffer. Thursday is a very popular College Night (18+) where the youngsters descend in droves. Cruze also has the best happy hour in town with $2.50 bottles and cocktails from 7-11 PM Thursday through Saturday. Cruze offers two bars in two separate rooms so you can choose to sit and socialize in one while your friends are bumping and grinding in the other. If you desire a place to dance, meet a pretty girl/handsome man or catch a late-night drag show then stroll around the corner to the only true dance club at Cruze Bar. If nude male dancers, cheap drinks and friendly service are what you’re looking for you’ll love it here.

If you head into Pittsburgh’s historic Strip District you’ll find The Real Luck Cafe, or as most of us here call it, Lucky’s. There’s a pool table, shot boys, lots of great music, and karaoke on Thursday nights. Images is newly remodeled yet still serves as a great spot to meet some down-to-earth locals. And on the same street, down a little further, there’s Images. Upstairs is Tilden, an after-hours, members only dance club (can join on the spot). You can cruise on down the street to 941 (“The Saloon”) where you can hear a live DJ, be served by one of the topless shot boys or play the jukebox on a less crowded evening. There Ultra Lounge, with it’s two floors, provides enough space to see a drag show, catch some amateur stripping or partake in an evening of karaoke. If you’re in the downtown area, you’ll want to head to Liberty Avenue, which just so happens to be where the Pride in the Street and Pride Fest take place. While you’ll want to take part in all of the Pride 2014 festivities when you’re hear, here’s a guide to where you’ll find Pittsburgh’s most popular bars and restaurants. One thing’s for sure…there’s something here for everyone. Whether it’s your first time visiting our magnificent city or whether you’re returning, we want to welcome you and offer you a glimpse into Pittsburgh’s gay scene.
