Get over yourself and have fun

Saturn 24/M

If you can enjoy yourself without looking for a hookup or someone to make fun of, then this place is awesome... Its not the most awesome of designs, it doesn't have top of the line sound... But the drinks are good (try being NICE to the bar tenders) and the people are fun... And they play the same types of music everyone else does... So just relaxe and do your thing... (^_^)

Cattivo

PeopleOnlyComplain 21/F

Dont be misled by gay men when it comes to Cattivo. Yes, Cattivo is a more lesbian dominated bar..but thats only because gay men do not go there as much. Its not that they are not welcome its that they dont come. Cattivo is an excellent bar opening its doors to anyone willing to walk in. For lesbians, yes, Cattivo is one of the nicest bars in Pittsburgh but also it is a clean, fun bar with delicious food. If your drinks are too watered down, ask for less ice..or actually drink it when you order it rather than 20mins later..drinks dont last forever.

Don't Bother

disovrtheciti 21/F

It's nice to have a place that's made for an all lesbian crowd, but everytime I go there I have to wait for at least 10 minutes to get service at the bar and the place is basically an abandoned buidling with a boombox for music. Not my idea of a nice bar/club.

A different flavor from other bars

Butrrcup 27/F

Cattivo is a neighborhood-type bar, most nights it is relatively empty. But Wednesday and Saturday, it is packed full of lesbians of all ages and flavors. In my opinion, it's a welcome break from the gay-male-dominated polished and pretentious bars we have so many of here in the Burgh. Donny's, the "other lesbian bar," is choked with young drama-centric lezzies with some sort of obsession with cocked baseball caps. True, the crowd at Cattivo is a little older, but some of us *want* that. Staff are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Food is great "bar food" and the pizza is awesome.

SO SO

CaliKidd 22/F

Its not that its a bad club. I guess if you are from the area, and perhaps thirty years old then this club would be great! There are nice people there. No Lie. But there was something missing from the club. It may have been the music. It may have been the people. But it was something that had "Ellen DeGeneres" intro. dance written all over it. If you can find a more modern club.. then do so.

Great Place!

suprise123 35/M

Don't be misled by a discriminating gay man. Cattivo is great bar. Get to know the owners. They are really nice people. A place like this has been long awaited. I have been patronizing since they opened in May. The lesbians have always been there & they don't bother anyone. Everyone has a great time, male & female. The last time I looked, a business is created to make money. From what I hear, they were a very successful straight bar. Try the food!!!!!

Way To USE The Gay Community..

barfly 29/M

This bar is a failed straight bar in Pittsburgh. It was also closed as a nusance bar before it reopened it's doors trying to lure in the gay male. The gays refused to call it home so it in an attempt to make money from the gay dollar opened it's doors to lesbians. The bar is owned by straights and is located on a tucked away street in Lawrencville. I'd rather hang out at the bars on Liberty Ave.. They are ALL new and much more of a mixed crowd.

ok but could look a bit nicer

marineguy34 35/M

This reminds me of a throwback to the 80's gay Burgh bar. Its big and tacky with run of the mill music.

huge spaces are hard to fill

EdgarDumb 40/M

I went on a Saturday night and was first surprised by how large the space is. Think 'firehall' when it comes to ambience. An idea popped into my head while I was there: 'Pittsburgh's only rollerskating disco!' And if promoters with a sense of fun existed in this town, then that idea could be well on it's way. Even if it was just on Fridays or something. Awesome. I was disappointed, as a dude, to find that the crowd was mostly lesbian and old guys but dotted here and there I actually saw some unfamiliar and gorgeous faces. Who are these super-cute guys that hang out with lesbians? That mystery alone has me wanting to go back. Other than that significant bonus, the place seemed typical of Pgh. And when you have a huge space like this, it seems spookily empty when there are less than 100 people in attendance.

Finally....

toomanymutts 49/F

a gay bar in Pittsburgh where you don't feel like a second class citizen. The food is great...I've had two meals there now and both were terrific. The bartenders/servers are all extremely friendly and attentive. It's bright and airy - the smoke is well controlled by ventilation. Free pool tables....an internet juke box whre you can order any song you could possibly think of. Try it out!! We need to support this place!!!

A Great Destination!!!!

PJ25 25/M

This place is a great destination when your thinking about your next night out! The food is absolutely incredible, the space is huge...its so nice to go out without being herded into a cramed space like cattle! The bartenders were all fantastic...friendly, talkative and fun! What a nice change from the other dingy dive bars that havent changed in 30 years!

Nice but ....

BandT 44/F

We're always looking for a new nice gay bar to meet with friends and enjoy a fun evening so we thought we'd check out the Cattivo. The bar is nice with pool tables and small dancefloor BUT ... doncha hate the buts? ... if the place ever got crowded, finding parking could be an all night adventure AND in all honesty, the music was old ... and got old to listen to rather quick. When we requested more modern music, the DJ told us No Hip Hop Ever ...Ok we could live with that .. but NO TOP 40!?!?! Come on! I may be in my mid 40's and my partner in her mid 30's but I don't want to relive my high school (or younger) years when I'm out. And oldie now and then is Ok but all night? All the time? No thanks. We'll take our money elsewhere.

Make sure you try it!

LSAVINI 22/F

I was there for their grand opening. Very spacious bar with dance floor, pool tables, DJ, and awesome staff. They have a full menu, I only had a chance to get some appetizers, but they were very good as well. All around good time - nice people -good drink specials - yummy food!
