412-391-8334 | | | | | Description: STRIP DISTRICT. One of the most rockin' joints in the Strip District, 31st Street Pub books nothing but hard, shoot-straight-from-the-hip acts who play loud, cutting-edge tunes.

All Monday through Wednesday shows begin at 10pm; Thursday through Saturday shows begin at 10:30pm. Check the club's calendar for upcoming bands.

412-381-0899 | | | | | Description: SOUTH SIDE. Bar 11 is a nice little hole-in-the-wall located off the beaten path, and its main draw is a fun-loving atmosphere. Drinks come with toy-like tops, water guns, and miscellaneous plastic goodies. Also, highlighters are freely passed around so that you can write on your fellow patrons don't wear white if you value your clothing. If you don't mind being a little crowded, the $3 cover is well worth the fun.

412-621-4100 | | | | | Description: OAKLAND. Hemingway's Café on the University of Pittsburgh campus is the stereotypical college bar. During the day, it's a great place to grab lunch and a couple of beers; however, at night, the place transforms into a packed campus bar. What pulls in crowds are the location and a rotating $1 draft special every day, all day. Get there early if you want a stool or booth because they fill up quickly almost every night of the week. Food is served until midnight, and it's cheap good bar food. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area.

412-683-0912 | | | | | Description: SHADYSIDE. A swank, chill atmosphere reminiscent of the speakeasy it used to be in the '20s, Le Mardi Gras has been a Shadyside hotspot for the past 80 years. Dollar-for-ounce, the cocktails are the best in the city, and the clientele range in age from early-20s well into retirement years. In fact, you may want to contemplate retiring as a career move if you wake up the next morning having spent more than $30 the night before.

412-665-0654 | | | | | Description: Shadyside Saloon offers the feel of a local neighborhood bar, but since it's in Shadyside, it offers many high-end beers and liqours. Regulars and infrequent visitors both feel equally welcome. Multiple TVs assure that if a Steelers game is on, you'll be able to watch it from almost anywhere in the bar. Expect a good crowd on weekends and a more relaxed atmosphere during the week.
