Casual hangout upstairs with a basement leather bar

Dark and dirty but a damn good time

If you're a woman, this is pretty much the only lesbian bar in the Burgh. Its dark. Its dirty. But it usually is a great time (unless its a night for lesbian drama!) Big FREE parking lot, two pool tables, a leather bar downstairs for the guys, and 2 floors basically overrun by the women. The upstairs dancefloor gets JAMMED and the music is usually HOT... but so is the upstairs in the summer cause I don't think that place has air conditioning! So be prepared to sweat! The staff is wonderful! Fast, friendly so you're not waiting thru your favorite song for a drink. The crowd is mostly younger tho there are a few of us older lesbians around who appreciate today's music and dance.

Dress it Up!

Donny's is an OK place to go, since it is really the only place a lesbian can go in the city. The patrons are great and the ownership and employees are great, however it desparately needs some updating and remodeling. I started going to Donny's 30 years ago and very little has changed over that time. When you go to other big cities and see their bars, you are almost embarrassed by the entire Pittsburgh bar scene. I have been to Baltimore, D.C., NYC, Nashville, Phoenix, and Columbus. They all have wonderful bars and restaraunts. Very clean, modern and fun. Donny's has always been fun, but it is time to dress it up!

Best Lesbian Bar.

I frequent Donny's basically every Saturday when im home from school in the summer! It is by far the best lesbian bar in Pittsburgh, and one of the best I have been to. I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a good time! Great crowd!
