The Brillobox is generally a good place to go if you want to see a live Pittsburgh band or if you want to go to a drag show. It is very smelly on the second floor and it is by far one of the dirtier bars/restaraunts that I've been to in the city. Sometimes when you walk into even the first floor of the bar you can smell a strong scent of body odor and rankness. Some of the bartenders are very nice and a few of them are extremely rude. The food is mediocre at best and it honestly isn't worth spending your money on. The bar's decor is interesting as there is a lot of local Pittsburgh artwork hung on the walls. The crowd that generally populates this bar is lowbrow hipsters, artists, and musician types. You can count on about half of the people in the bar being gay on any given day. This is nice if you have a gay friend because there is an even chance of both of you meeting someone. The prices (for drinks) are about average. Not super cheap but not overly expensive. Their selection for beers and drinks is decent but not awesome.
