If 5801 is the every gay man's gay bar, Spin is probably is more of the upper gay echelon of Pittsburgh. While still a nice joint and really sophisticatedly decorated and lit, I have to be sure I'm on my P's and Q's when I come here. Being more of a guy that enjoys smokey dive bars, this is a nice change on some nights where you want to go to a nicer place with well made cocktails. The happy hour here is pretty good, and I'm pretty sure they have nightly specials, where some of the cocktails are strong and deadly. I've seen and enjoyed a couple of crazy busy nights here with live or DJ-ed music, but I've also walked in to a completely empty bar before. If you want the full experience, make sure to stop in on a weekend night. The outdoor patio in the back is a nice little extension during the summer months.
