Editorial Review for Luna Bar & Grill – by David C. Madden
The Stigma
There's a lot of negative connotations attached to the term "dive bar," especially with glossy theme bars spreading across the city. But it's in dive bars where you'll find the most diversity and flavor you could find anywhere in Pittsburgh. Luna has this in spades. The clientele is an odd mix of older Hill District folks and younger college kids, with a few odds and ends thrown in.
The Scene
The bar itself is small--of course--and yet makes room for a DJ and dance floor. The bar bends and seats about 12. Tables crowd the remaining area, making it often difficult to navigate to the bathrooms (in the back, and surprisingly clean).
College Kids, Eh?
Well yes, but not too many. With the proliferation of other "safer" and "cleaner" bars in North Oakland, not too many venture to Luna on Friday and Saturday nights. For those interested, however, the drink prices are good and low, and the jukebox is loaded with a mix of 1980's pop and present-day hip-hop.

I've been there twice and I'm glad it's not another college bar. The bartenders are nice, the drinks are good, the clientele seem like ballers who just mind their own business and play good hip hop on the jukebox lol. I like it and am looking forward to goin back. Especially since I'm single now and there are mostly guys there haha.

Mitchell's & Luna used to rock! They were great college bars. What has happened here??? They both are terrible places now. Total shadows of their former selves. The owners of these places should be pimped slapped for their neglegence to their once proud establishments. When the Luna was on the corner, it was a great college bar. Not its a total dump. The crowd in their was terrible.... What gives????
Pros: the location to Pitt
Cons: The clientele
