A Saturday night out in Pittsburgh should start at Nakama for no reason other than entertainment (and good cocktails). The place was packed, but we found a space by the bar in the corner. We didn't get a chance to eat the food, but I can say the place looks kind of fun. Not really date worthy as it was pretty loud, but the hibachi style dining is definitely a conversation starter.
I ordered a strawberry citrus-tini, a serious $10 cocktail. In Philly, I wouldn't think twice about this price, but for the burgh, it seemed a bit steep. It was quite tasty though and I couldn't really stop myself from licking the flavored sugar on the rim.
Nakama is like the serengeti...it is hunt or be hunted. Ladies brought their A game, or should I say DD game as most everyone in the place had their breasts on display. We joked about a possible nipple slip...quite frankly, I wouldn't have been surprised. The gents are just as preened as the ladies and I couldn't help but see that the Jersey Shore had made it all the way across PA. Fist pumping anyone?
We only stayed for the one cocktail, but we were there long enough for some decent people watching. I would suggest going for the beginning of your evening on Carson St. I know I certainly learned a lot about the singles scene in my short time there.
