I'm from SF but came to pittsburgh for work and wanted to see one of my favorite band (circa survive) here at Mr. Smells theater. Cool place, cool bands but hooooollllyyyy crap the girls collecting tickets and the front desk were such rude little brats! I want to use a few other choice words but it's yelp and its public. But anyways.. The front door girls were typical hipsters with piercing and tats and horrible Midwest fashion, like plaid and a lot of black and black dyed hair, you know, like every other hipster. They were rude and unprofessional and had this horrible resting bitch face and were eating Chinese food. Seriously you couldn't do that before work or when you got of? You really want to welcome people with a steamy hot plate of garlic prawns??? Gross. Anyways I had trouble getting a hold of my ticket and they were extremely unsympathetic. They held such a stern "so what" attitude. Not very helpful or kind. So I went outside, saw a security, guard slipped him a $20, and he slapped on a pink wrist band and opened the side door for me! Boom im in and got to see my favorite band circa survive. Thanks for the memories Mr. Smells! Can't wait to come back to Pittsburgh!
Ps. The venue is small, intimate, and pretty great and has excellent beer selections!
