Blue Moon is the premier spot for drag shows! This little spot started the careers of Alaska and Sharon Needles. It is a tight spot and gets crowded but is super fun!

Blue Moon is Great

Love the Happy Hour and the back room. The singing and kaoroke is so fun. It is a safe place for gay and lesbian people.

Had a great time

Myself and my partner visited Pittsburgh over Labor Day weekend and on Friday, August 30, 2013 we visited the Blue Moon. This place was one of the few places that we were able to find parking nearby the bar and lots of it. They permit smoking inside the place. So, it is very smokey. Neith myself nor my partner smoke and would have preferred that it was smoke-free but it is rare to find a bar in Pittsburgh that bans smoking. The place was packed and the patrons and staff were super friendly. The bartender greeted us quickly and got our drinks. They make really good drinks and they free pour. The main reason for going to the Blue Moon for me was that they have Karaoke on Friday nights. I like doing karaoke. It was hosted by EddieOke. EddieOke is a popular karaoke hosts in the Gay community. I sang 4 songs that night. Also, this is the home bar of both of RuPaul's Drag Race contestants, Sharon Needles and Alaska. Both Sharon's and Alaska's photos were posted above the stage as were a couple other photos of drag queens that I do not know. The place has a real mix of people in it from every level, race, age and culture. This is part of what makes it so fun. The place is not glamorous at all but it is fun.
