What People Are Saying About Gooski's

Featured Review

The Scene – Dark and dingy, like most Pittsburgh neighborhood bars, Gooski's has a style all its own. A front bar area with booths, bar seating and raised tables gives way to a small hallway which leads to the poolroom. But on the way, don't pass by a stellar Wurlitzer. – – Who's There – Blue-collar types and young punks down the more than affordable brews in the two spacious coolers on either side of the golden rail. – – When to Go – Wednesday nights at Gooski's are one of the best deals in Pittsburgh. For just $1.50, you can enjoy your…

Editor's Tips

Hidden Juke Gem:
The "Repo Man" soundtrack, featuring the likes of Black Flag, Minor Threat and other punk rock legends is of major interest to the spiked-hair and studded types.

Best Darn Bar In The Burgh

by contrition at Citysearch

Not only is it cheap but it's full of people just there to drink and hang out. No pretense is right.

The bartenders are great and attentive. The music is usually good even if it's not your bag. The beer selection is out of this world. And everyone is pretty friendly.

  • Pros: Cheap. Unpretentious
  • Cons: It's in polish hill
