How is there not a yelp review yet for the Tennyson? I have to correct this injustice.
The Tennyson Lodge is a quintessential rite of passage if you're going to claim to be a Pittsburgher. There is a cover (I believe $5) and if naked ladies dancing to your karaoke stylings sounds like a good time, this is the place for you.
I'm not gonna lie. To say this is a no frills establishment may be a bit of an understatement. The women's restroom (single stall, shower curtain?) doubles as the dancers' dressing (?) room. The crowd tends to be relatively diverse in that 1/2 the people are there to gawk at the women, and the other half are there to just watch the whole scene.
Tends to be smoky, get there early for a table, and be prepared to sing a song or two. A good time will be had by most. Well, at least if you're my type of person.
