Gooski's

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 favorite imports, including beers from Ireland, England, the Czech Republic and, of course, Poland.

On the Jukebox
Something for everyone: the Smiths, the Cure, the Breeders, the Damned, the Misfits, the Ramones and the Muffs are there for the indie crowd, while the Jam, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, the Yardbirds and the Beatles are there for the slightly older yet hip crowd. Modern gems like Belle and Sebastian, AC/DC, Motley Crue and Queen mix in with rockabilly and country classics from Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr. and Buddy Holly.
