2024’s Best Pittsburgh Gay, Lesbian & Trans Bars Near You
If you are trying to locate the best Pittsburgh gay, lesbian, or trans bars or nightclubs near you we have you covered. This local LGBT nightlife guide will also cover things like mixed clubs, live drag shows and more!
There are also some cool annual and more frequent Pittsburgh gay pride events that we will need to discuss. And in this modern tech era it would be a big mistake to not mention the best LGBT dating sites to use here.
Some people like to party, others don’t really want to hang out in the lesbian, trans, or gay bars in your area all night and because of that we at NightlifeLGBT will attempt to give you as many options as possible and then you can choose which way you wish to proceed.
Best LGBT Bars & Clubs In Pittsburgh
The best Pittsburgh gay, lesbian, and mixed LGBT bars and nightclubs would be:
Unfortunately we heard 941 Saloon, Element, and Cruze Bar all closed down during the pandemic which were a huge hit to the LGBT nightlife in your area.
Best Gay Bars & Clubs
We know some of you are here to find out about gay bars in Pittsburgh for men to meet men. As the world becomes more inclusive those old hard and fast rules don’t seem to apply as often.
These days most local gay bars are actually mixed, and any of the above spots can easily lead to gay hook ups. If you wanted to cross any off your list the two we are about to mention next would be the ones to skip.
Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Pittsburgh
Kelly’s Bar and Cattivo are probably the best lesbian bars in Pittsburgh but they are not their only clientele. You can find women looking to meet women at many venues on the main list.
Drag Shows & Trans Bars
We aren’t really to the point of having full on trans bars in Pittsburgh, but you can find drag shows that may help you locate ts near you at:
Bag That Drag! at Blue Moon on Thursdays
Drag Show at P Town Bar on Mondays
Drag Shows at Blue Moon on other nights
Drag Shows at Cattivo
Hopefully you all realize that we cover a ton of cities and these scenes change way too fast for us to be perfect. We know the scene here pretty well, but obviously not as well as those who go out in this town every week.
If you could let us know about any errors we made or if anything is out of date on this page in the comments section at the end that would be awesome. Also, if you think any venues should be listed as solely places for men to meet men or women to meet women in your area fill us in, thanks a lot.
There really isn’t a main gay area here like you find in some other cities, but Shadyside and downtown do offer a lot of options. We have a map coming up at the end that will help you figure out the lay of the land. Those who like to travel and check out the culture of different cities should check out our LGBT guides for:
Here are some of the best LGBT events that occur on a weekly or monthly basis:

Best LGBT Dating Sites
As many of us become more introverted going out to party at a local LGBT bar or club may not be our preferred way to meet new people. Fortunately technology has opened up some new doors for us and now we have more options at are disposal.
It is also fair to guess that we aren’t all in the same position and there are probably people reading this who may not want to have their photos taken at a gay bar and posted on social media. For some that is no big deal, but we aren’t going to expect everyone to feel the same way as we do.
The first sites we want to mention are mainly geared towards casual sex, they aren’t exactly dating sites. As the divorce rates keep climbing lots of people are enjoying the single life and aren’t looking for any commitment at the moment.
You have probably seen Adult Friend Finder links online before since they have been helping millions of people like us hook up since the turn of the century. Well they are very inclusive and have many different sites for all kinds of tastes and varieties.
Their top site for finding gay men near you to hook up with is Men Nation and it works great in major American cities like this one. The ladies will be better off on Lesbian Personals, and those who don’t have a preferred gender to hook up with can use Adult Friend Finder to find all the colors of the rainbow.
So for m4m hook ups look into Men Nation, and for f4f hook ups try out Lesbian Personals. We also should tell you about the world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Pittsburgh is growing at a rapid rate as more ts in your area are finally comfortable living the life they want to live.
Alright then, we have told you all about the local LGBT nightlife as best as we can. You know where to go to find the best Pittsburgh gay, lesbian, or trans bars and clubs near you plus drag shows and all sorts of LGBT dating sites. We hope you make the most of the info at hand.
