    • Love Love Love This bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      This place is small and is the perfect definition of Dive bar. However, this place rocks. I ordered a vodka and tonic, a miller lite and 2 shots of rocket fuel during happy hour and spent $5. WOW. Rocket Fuel is their house drink/shot. It is made from everything behind the bar and knocks you on your keester. Every type of person is found here - bear, leather, hipster, straight, gay, trans, lesbian.. you name it, it's here. Have a ball!!

      Don't Eat Sunday Buffet or Drink from A Glass
      The bar is a neighborhood dive bar so you should expect locals, seniors and those that are at the door at 7 a.m. The crowd is pretty cool overall and most crowded weekday happy hour.....BUT you'll see roaches running across bar or falling from ceiling, the bathroom stinks and the police LOVE to watch this bar since they have illegal poker machines and they'll let you drink till you pass out. Bar has history with incidents requiring police. If you need a drink before 4 p.m. when most other gay bars open, try it, otherwise pick another place if going after 4 p.m. even if you have to pay 50 cents more a drink. Check out the Pittsburgh Out for all the bars. Several new one's opened in last few months and are doing well with fun crowds. As for the Brewer's, it will always be the dive it was for the past 25 years....just different roaches going there now.

      too much smoking!!!!!
      this place is like being in a smokers lungs. every one somkes and there is no fresh air. you leave smelling of cancer. the bar tenders never stop smoking. they are as bad as the crack head customers.

      Creepy...and sad clientele
      this is an exceptionally old bar that might have some architectural historical significance, but the place is run down and the patrons are poor, mostly elderly, and of the "desperate for a hook-up" type. This is not a drinks and socialize spot. P.S., the neighborhood is BAAAD!!!

      The Kind of Bar I've Been Looking For
      The negative reviews about Brewer's didn't seem to be true when I visited there today (May 23, 2010). The service was good, the prices were good, and there was no foul odor about the place. Yes, it's a kind of honky-tonk dive looking place, but I suppose it's not for every one. I don't like drag bars, so i don't go there. I don't like queenie type folks, so I don't get involved with them. I like the plain down to earth good-ole-boys at Brewers. I'll be going there again. Hope to see you there.

      Police watch it and it stinks like poop inside.
      Horrible place. Go there but only drink from bottles and open them yourself but use lysol on the cap first. That is if you can get waited on. All bartenders have some kind of communicable disease like hep or herpes or H(edited)V. Bring lysol and take a shower immediately after leaving. Better yet wait till someone opens the door then go in. Don't touch anything look around be amazed at the filth then LEAVE. Better yet, stay away there are a lot of other nice Gay bars to see in Pittsburgh. This is the Pits not the real Pitts and it does smell like an armpit along with a dirty butthole. The owner isnt even Gay and has been know to say he has no idea why he owns a Gay bar and his clientel is filth and doesn't even deserve a place as good as this one and he admits it is one of if not the worst places in Pittsburgh, Pa including port-o-potties in dirty parks.
