Mr. Roboto Project — Local services in Pittsburgh

For what this place is you get exactly what you expect. I've seen complaints bout refreshment and sparse attendance. Well friend that isn't what this place is about and that's fine. This space, in this city, is very needed. Refresh yourself. Promote to help with that sparse-ness. Friendly staff, posted rules of conduct, and cleaner bathrooms than major staffed venues makes this place an awesome time. Free earplugs? Shut up and let's be friends. Domo orie-gato meeser roboto, for helping me escape this way that I needed to, thank you.

Venue with absolutely no amenities, a history of sexual harassment, & run by a committee with a horrible attitude. Cliquish & judgmental would be an understatement. They hastily ban people for having an opinion that doesn't completely align with theirs. It's a complete waste of time for anyone wanting to play a show in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is awkward & uncomfortable & the shows are sparsely attended, due largely to the fact that they offer NO refreshments of any kind. If you suggest that they do they recommend that you leave their venue & go to the gas station. It's so bad that the bands usually don't even stick around to watch...

A good little venue to see plenty of local bands, as well as the occasional up and coming touring band. It's a volunteer run place, so there's not a lot of amenities to talk about; there is some bottled water available. I don't think it's BYOB (I've never seen anyone bring drinks, at least, and it's definitely not the vibe they're going for), though I'm pretty certain that you can bring your own food. In my experience, it can get pretty hot in the summer, and cold in the winter. Aside from that, the sound is fine, and it's a small enough room that getting a decent view of the stage isn't...
