If you don't know what you're getting into when you go to Station Square - well, I can't help you. Ha! Barroom is exactly what it should be IMO. Sticky, loud and lots of fun if you've had enough to drink. Otherwise, I suggest an evening of fine wines at the Grand Concourse across the street :-)
I visited Barroom for a friend's 30th birthday this past Saturday. I was the DD, so needless to say, it was not as fun as it might've been. But again, I realize that my sobriety was likely the cause. I still had a blast dancing amongst the ten bachelorette parties and Pittsburgh's finest s*uts in attendance (but WHERE was the Silver Fox or Pittsburgh Pete?!). Plus, the ability to go in between Barroom, Saddleridge and that new Beach place - I forget the name - is a welcome bonus.
It's certainly no Matrix or Tequila Willies, but WHAT IS?!
