Blue Moon Bar

Sobre este lugar Blue Moon Bar

The Blue Moon Bar on Butler Street represents the neighbourhood local strand of Pittsburgh's gay bar scene — a bar that serves the LGBTQ+ residents of Lawrenceville without pretension or performance, functioning as the kind of daily-life anchor that a community needs alongside its destination venues and music venues. Butler Street is Lawrenceville's main commercial corridor, and the Blue Moon is embedded in it in the way that a good local bar should be: familiar to its regulars, unpretentious in its presentation, and welcoming to newcomers without making a production of the welcome. The bar draws LGBTQ+ people from the residential population of Lawrenceville and the adjoining neighbourhoods — a mix of long-term residents, recent arrivals who have gentrified the area, and the student and young professional population that has transformed the neighbourhood over the past decade. Special events are occasional rather than constant — the Blue Moon is not trying to be Cattivo, and its particular value to the Pittsburgh gay scene is precisely that it operates at a different pitch. For visitors who want a quiet drink in an LGBTQ+-comfortable environment without the energy of a DJ night, the Blue Moon is the Lawrenceville answer.
