My favorite concert venue in Pittsburgh!! I've been seeing shows here since I moved to the Burgh in 2006 and it's been awesome to see how much they have improved and renovated! It's quirky and nifty and there's all sorts of areas to discover. Multiple bars, restaurant, nice upstairs smoke patio, great standing room, perfect stage height, amazing acoustics, good quality sound, fun atmosphere. Also enjoy the fact that you don't get patted down, security is a little laid back (you don't feel like you're constantly being watched), they don't mind crowd surfing or sitting on shoulders. Only downside is I don't think they allow flow toys (hoops, poi, staff, etc), I've never seen any in there and there usually isn't enough space. And it can get pretty stuffy when it's packed and everyone's going hard! Other than that, it's perfect!
