This is hands down my favorite venue in Pittsburgh - which is saying a lot when we have a ton of great live music venues. It's gotten infinitely better with all the restaurants and breweries opening on the strip leading up to the venue.
Nothing is better than a summer show here. The view of downtown, the music, the easy and reasonably priced parking. The best!
However, the inside section is easily manageable as well. Probably not as great, but the acoustics are far superior to most of the other indoor venues here - my second favorite would be Mr Smalls, but this definitely has a warmer sound.
