Before heading to Stage AE Saturday night this was the place to be for a little pregame, pre Snoop cocktail. It was packed upon entering but I managed to land the last seats with the flash of a smile at the gentlemen standing in front of them and a promise to flag down the bartender for refills. The hockey game was on and an excited buzz generated through the room. The doors opened at Stage AE around 7pm but I knew Snoop would not get on stage until later so we had time to chat and have some drinks. The selection on tap was decent and the menu was plentiful.
We struck up a conversation with the guys who let us sit and they got me even more excited explaining that Snoop does not disappoint but that he would most definitely show up pretty late. This info gave us more time to relax, and snack on a deep fried pretzel with our Guinness pints. Then they started playing some old Snoop Dogg hits to cement the jovial mood of the crowd. All the appetizers coming out of the kitchen looked tasty.
The only incident we had was that our buddies being a little inebriated spilled some vodka soda over my head. It was a trickle of booze and I laughed it off! In true Pittsburghese style the guy in blue plaid apologized profusely and bought us a round. I love Pittsburgh the people are incredibly amiable. Props for not being douches! As we walked over to the concert we left through the back of the building where a huge fire pit was going. I can imagine that in the summer this place will be so much fun! What a great view! Check out my pics. Cheers!
