Pegasus (CLOSED) (Closed Permanently)

(41 Ratings)
In the first two floors of the Pittsburgh Eagle
This basement club is no more, but Pegasus has reopened in the first two floors of the Pittsburgh Eagle. The club attracts a younger crowd, and those boys love to dance.

Rude!

The staff is rude. This place is so over. This place must be the oldest gay club in the city. It has packed them in over the past 30 years and has put no money back into their club. There was a time when it was flooded and they got insurance money when they turned the dance floor into a barn yard. A dirty dingy bar. Staff is rude. The crowd is rude and usually baby's first club (very young and stupid). They actually pull a gate across the middle of the club separating the club in halve, underage and drinking. I guess it's great if your 19! This is all about getting your money here.

BOOOOORRRRRIIINNNGGG

I haven't had fun here since I was way underage and was just thrilled to be in a club. It's dark and cold in this basement space that attracts an army of young queens with the same shark-finned haircut. This is the place for people who have never lived in a bigger city and believe that they're the royalty of like, Limelight or Studio 54. You will get major bitchy attitude here from everyone including the aging bartenders who are holding on, desperately, to the hotness. I've never encountered ruder people who resemble hustlers. The thing that has always amused me is the dancefloor with it's barnyard fencing and chain-link wall. It makes it appear as though a bunch of chickens are dancing to Madonna. If you want something that resembles the mega-club experience, atleast go to the Eagle instead (better yet take Jet Blue to New York or Chicago). Also: they have the nerve to charge a cover, even on nights that there are, seriously, no more than 20 people dotted in the large space. I do have some dignity.

Far from what you saw on Queer as Folk...

Since Queer as Folk was supposed to be based in Pittsburgh, this would probably be the "Babylon" shown in the show. It's far from it but it's still a good time. Very young crowd.

Ring in the Twinks!

This is definitely a younger crowd... and by younger I mean barely legal. If you like extremely young shirtless bodies and loud thumping music, this is your place. Good luck in striking up a conversation... it is impossible here

Was once the best place intown

This club is great if you want to take your HAG out for the night.There Is young crowd here and every one seems to come with there "Girl Hag",NOT a place to cruise.Watch out,the staff that monitors the upper bar,so no one under age can drink,IS rude as hell.On the upside when they have strippers they're petty HOT!
