So, quick update: Stopped by briefly on Friday night around 1:30am, knowing they close at 2am (if Yelp is to be believed). I was shocked how busy they were at that time! Took far too long to find street parking, especially with the way streets are set up in Pittsburgh.
Anyway, finally made it in at 1:45am and the place was packed, almost uncomfortably so. They showed no signs of shutting down for the night. Made my way to the stairs and the second floor was even more crowded, mostly men but a few women. There were, indeed, four completely naked guys dancing on this tiny square bar, pretty much one at each corner, all appearing to be in their early 20s. One with a partial sleeve tat was HOT, lean but muscular. Another with dark curly hair was extremely cute, twinkish but defined. The third was cute and standing at attention the whole time. He seemed to be really enjoying himself. The fourth was not what I would consider to have the body for this work, but more power to him. There were a few more shirtless guys in the crowd but not sure if those were other dancers or just patrons getting in the mood.
As I mentioned, it was packed and difficult to move around or even find a place to stand where you wouldn’t be in the way of someone else trying to move. Couldn’t get anywhere near the bar. Oh, and smoking is definitely a thing at this place. Having had lung issues in the past, knew I would need to be careful. Can’t believe this still exists in 2024. The bar room was pretty small but across the hall was an even smaller room with a few standing tables. Wasn’t as crowded but that’s not what you come to see.
After about 10 minutes of feeling really uncomfortable in such a smoky, crowded place, and getting a good look at the dancers, I fought my way through the crowd and out the door. Never heard anything about a last call or any indication that they were closing soon. Maybe the closing time is dependent on the crowds. Found out the next day there was a pride parade the next day so that may have contributed to the crowds. Was going to go again Saturday but, with the crowds I experienced Friday so late and it lacking the potential of a more “personal” experience (and my hotel around 30 mins away) I decided to pass. I may stop by earlier on Sunday before I leave town Monday morning. I’ll update if anything different to share.
So, in short, too crowded, too smoky, mostly cute nude dancers. Glad I went, but nothing to make a special trip over. The experience I had at BJ’s a couple weeks ago may have spoiled me. 😁
