Images is the most inclusive and diverse bar in Pittsburgh. The downtown gay scene is becoming more and more LIT!

Very smoky but fun.

Fun atmosphere but very smoky inside. I'm from NYC and I'm not used to smoking indoors. I couldn't stay for longer than 30 minutes before I was coughing and eyes were itching. Cheap drinks!!!

This once was a really cool place to go but the crowd has become a bit scary at times. If your staying downtown, give it a try, you may hit a good night but watch your wallets and your cash on the bar. With all the other new and old gay bars in the city, they need to clean up their act before it goes further down hill. They should have left the nice quant atmosphere alone that always drew a great happy hour and weekend crowd of respectful working class people. It's a toss on this. I would never say pass it by because life is about experiences so just be street smart and don't fall for any hussles.

Ho Hum...

This was a nice bar several years ago. It was a real "neighborhood" bar; great for hanging out, having a drink, and good conversation with generally classy working-class people. Now it is a ghetto nasty dive! No ambience, they took out all their lounge areas and just have bar stools and cheap, utilitarian tables. I gotta agree about the friendliness issues mentioned by others, the twenty year old ghetto trash that predominently patronize this place are not friendly. The drinks are usually small and overpiced. It is seldom busy anymore, obviously. It's a shame what this once great place has become.

Good enough for drinks

I was there for karaoke night after a Pirates game. The crowd was moderate-sized for a midweek night, fairly attractive, and pleasant although not overly friendly. Good downtown location, OK ambience, staff, and drinks. I'd go back.
