| - This place still deserves five stars. My husband and I had our wedding reception here last May (no, it's not as dickish as it sounds - we're LGB, the guests were too, and at the time, the bar ran a new-wave night every Saturday...BTW, another name for "new-wave night" is "all the bisexuals in the city are here right now," FYI), and it was a hell of a good time. Our guests and I were treated to a band that sounded like a New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders-esque soloing and all, fronted by a cool, tough-as-nails punk chick who dressed sexy and sassy. We danced like there was no tomorrow - and the DJ spun all of our favorites, like "She's in Parties" by Bauhaus and "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop.
Even though we spent the second half of 2012 preparing to bid Pittsburgh farewell, we always came back to Cattivo at least once a month. The DJs indulged my requests, cutting their lineup of tinny sounding modern dance music to play now-classics like "Policy of Truth" by Depeche Mode and "Laid" by James.
If you want to dance your heart out on Saturday nights, I'm telling you - do NOT miss Cattivo on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. I'm working on a potential business deal with a Pgh friend who's a Cattivo regular, and I'm already salivating at the thought of attending another Hanging Garden dance night.
