Did Dating Apps Kill Pittsburgh’s Nightclub Scene?
If you want to go out and party this weekend, Pittsburgh has some solid options — maybe you’ll hit Spirit, Cavo, or Club VIP — but the ‘Burgh used to have way more clubbing options that catered to a wider diversity of party-goers. We talk to City Paper’s Colin Williams about what happened to Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene.
To keep up with pop-up parties, we recommend following Jellyfish, Hot Mass, and Slappers N Bangers on Instagram.
