Advice for road trip weekend in Pittsburgh?

Hello fellow travelers! I am a 30 yr old male from NJ and a a few of my buddies and I are huge NY Mets fans and thought it might be fun to hop in the car in a few weeks and drive to Pittsburgh and watch them play there! We%26#39;ve never been to Pitt before and am looking forward to spending the weekend there. I really have no clue where to begin so I thought I would start as I usually do and collect some tips! What do you recommend for a group of guys to have fun for a weekend in Pitt? I am talking about sports bars, restaurants, specific neighborhoods we should focus on getting a hotel in, gentlemen%26#39;s clubs, etc etc basically anything you can think of! One of the most critical things is to pick a hotel (not too pricey) but in a good area, preferably not too far from places to hang out. And obviously we will be going to at least one of the ballgames too. Thanks so much in advance!!!

Other than the gentlemen%26#39;s club recommendations, a lot of your questions have been asked already, many times. If you scroll through the first 3 pages of entries, you will get some GREAT ideas.

For a weekend, I would personally make downtown the home base.

Choose a hotel downtown, then head to the south side for the bar scene. There is also a McFadden%26#39;s (club like atmosphere) and Jerome Bettis has a restaurant/bar right by PNC Park.


See if the DoubleTree downtown is running any deals.

They have a shuttle that will take you to many hot spots.

Check out the Station Square and Carson Street areas for nightlife. And there used to be a gentleman%26#39;s club up a few blocks from the Strip District (just a coincidence, not named for that act!).


Definitely stay downtown. We live 12 miles outside the city, but occasionally stay the night in town after a show or dinner. We use Priceline, click 4star only to reserve, as there are only four, four star hotels in the ';downtown'; section of Pittsburgh. You%26#39;ll get one of the better hotels for a good price. We%26#39;ve never paid more than $99 for a night at the Omni or Renaissance.

Have fun!


I would definitely send your group to Fatheads (Carson Street/South Side). 40+ beers on tap, good sandwiches and wings, sports. It can get swamped, though.
