include me out
possibly the worst leather bar i have ever attended. If you are not into 2nd hand smoke in the x-treme, in the presence of small-town "leathermen" possessing attitude far beyond their mien, by all means avoid this place like the plague. Its like having your dopey dyke sister come down every few minutes while you are trying to have sex. The fact that this place even survives speaks volumes about pittsburgh. Avoid at all costs. I like dumps. This has no reason to exist. At All.
Always a great time
I was reading other reviews and they said "sleazy" or "dirty" or that it needed to be "updated" but though these all may be true...it's always a great time. I think the outdated decor and the "dirtiness" gives it that special hometown bar feel. Yes, I've been to clubs in other cities and yes it's true..they are more updated and "clean" but those are for the yuppies. Donny's has a great atmostphere and great patrons...always a nice and friendly crowd!
Friendly sleazy
Main floor is mostly lesbian and they don't seem to like the men hanging upstairs. The staff is friendly. Downstairs is a "leather" bar for men. There is often handsome men there, but scary. There is often frolicing going on in the dark passages. It's dirty and sleazy and dark and a good place to go on a late lonely night. Sexy barman with a smile
Never been there
Okay, so I am an in the closet bi female and I just met some new friends who go here. If I go here, what can I expect? How should I dress? Is it mostly dancing or what is there to do there? If you can - send me an private message thanks!!
Not A Polite Crowd
Recently moved to Pittsburgh and stubled into this as my first bar experience in the city. Since I was raised with manners I smiled and was polite to anyone I made eye contact with. Needless to say either the patrons did not grow up with the same social ethics or their jockey shorts were bunching up. Feeling as unwelcome as could be made I put my beer down and went elsewhere. So if you're a guy you may not be made to feel welcome. If you look like Drew Carey with breasts than pull up a stool!
