Do you love fist pumping bros converging with several bachelorette parties? A siren going off every 3 minutes to let you know you're having a good time while a girl standing on the bar pours free shots down your throat?
There are a lot of people having fun here. And while I laughed out loud at this ridiculous scene, I'm not all for it. Especially when I have to pay a cover for a place as crappy as Buckhead.
Buckhead is basically a frat party, except people try to pretend that it's better than that. It's not. -

Oh Buckhead. I want to like you, I really do. With all your tacky decorations and your $2 Yuengling special. But the thing is, the bands you bring in are so so so awful! Like "hey, we're from Detroit and we're here to rock you." Then they try to play a Train song. I just couldn't take it. The DJ isn't so bad, I enjoy that they play a mix of current music and 90's rap. I never get sad when I hear a little Sir Mix A Lot and Biggie.
I think the most disturbing thing of all is seeing an old man, and I mean like grandpa at the bar old, pouring shots into young girls mouths. I felt disturbed watching this happen, yet I couldn't look away! Where did this man come from? Who was he associated with? There were so many questions...
Aside from that, I'm surprised there was such a large crowd in the middle of January on the coldest night of the year. The crowd was VERY mixed! I saw everything from 21st birthday celebrations to Cougars out on the prowl. I'd say if you took the band away I'd be able to rate this a 4 star, but you're gonna have to just settle for 3. -

I must refrain myself from giving this establishment five stars just because I touched, (yes, touched!) a particular football player here. I must question why he was out on a Friday night and he is not playing today cause he needs rest for his sprained ankle....more like he is suffering from a buckhead hangover! I would have gotten my picture taken if it was not for the big scary dude who told me, he doesn't take pictures in bars. Someone just doesn't want 'drink like a champion' pictures appearing again on deadspin.
But, whatever. Decent bar. $2 you call it on Friday nights - at least when I was there and it went until 10:30. The place was packed and the music was Pittsburgh - a good mix of everything and country music included. That's how we roll. -

We stopped in for a drink after a Steelers game and left with a $200 bar tab-how that is possible with $2 miller lites, I do not know. With all the tables being taken, we slid into the "cabin" area and claimed 2 couches and a TV-best find ever, it was like hanging out in our own living room! The bartender was super cool-he quickly learned the name on our tab, was quick with the drinks, and changed our TV to the channel we wanted.
The only real negative was that the wings were terrible-overcooked and almost no meat-but the fried pierogis more than made up for it! These things were awesome, we tried to get a second order but they were all out! The mozzarella sticks and onion rings were just your average bar apps, but good for 4 drunk football fans. The music was pretty loud and we couldn't get sound for the games which was a bit of a bummer, but the music was good so were ok with it. A great place to go and get your drink on. -

We ended up here strictly do to the fact that we were staying at the Sheraton across the street. A more generic booze and grope you will not find.
Actually, during the early evening it wasn't a terrible place to grab a drink before heading across the river. But after 10, it was time to overcrowd the place with uninteresting people looking to hook up with the world's most generic cover band as the backdrop.
Which, if that's what you're looking for, you could find a place that has something more going for it. The staff was fairly kick ass towards our group, but other than that, there's absolutely no reason to seek this meh joint out. -

After the owner contacted me about my previous one-star review, I felt it necessary to point out that most of the reasons why this place sucks probably have nothing to do with the management. Yes, I called the doorman a jackass, which was probably harsh-- I'm sure he's just a perfectly nice guy who has simply become bitter after having to deal with the level of drunk idiots who frequent this place. I guess he kind of has to assume that everyone is drunk enough that they might potentially attempt something that they will forever regret, so I suppose it makes sense that he assumed the same of me even though I arrived entirely sober. Also, being that I'm 35 years old, it's fair to say that this just isn't my type of place, and a one-star joint for me might be considered the best bar in history for a 22 year old frat guy who isn't aware of how crappy Pittsburgh really is. This place sucks because the clientele is made up of people that I generally try to avoid, not because the management is incompetent, which I can't really speak to. If you are a 21-24 year old male who is forced to reside in Pittsburgh or surrounding areas and your typical Friday night consists of drinking until you throw up and going home with a girl who will only speak to you because she's even more hammered than you are, have at it, loser-- FIVE STARS!!

Unfortunately I was too lazy to walk or drive elsewhere when staying at the Sheraton which is about 50 feet away. What a mistake. This place is about as generic issue as it gets, complete with all the fake outdoor stuff you might imagine, and the service is very poor.
Aparantely the bartender thought her dinner she was eating at a side table was much more important then serving drinks. There is very little food selection and it is sub standard bar fare. I am not sure if all the bars on this street are like this, but I would avoid this one if possible. -

OK so for drinks only, this place is your usual bar in a touristy part of town. For eating, the food is pretty weak. I had wings, and one of their speciality sandwiches which were both terrible. Service was fine though so I don't blame the servers. But this place is much better just for drinking. The best thing about the place that gets it it's second star is the photo booth which is great since it's a true film photo booth (not digital prints).

Kill me now. Playdoh flavored pizza and live music so generic you'd find it on the shelf just below Valutime. Okay, a nice selection of martinis and some decent specials now and then. And buckets of peanuts are nice. The dance floor is awkwardly positioned and the decor is perplexing (hunting themed, I guess). The only reason people don't leave is because the music is so loud you can't hear yourself thinking "there's got to be something better to do in this town."

I went here with a group of friends on a Friday night. It was a lot of what I expected of a bar in Station Square. We were just there to drink and dance. I was the DD, so I can't vouch for the drink prices. There are two separate bars, an upper and a lower, a small stage where we saw a cover band from Atlanta play (they were okay). Later in the night they were pouring some sort of peach schnapps concoction into the mouths of the ladies who were willing to be on the receiving end and dance up on the stage. It kind of added to the wild and crazy fun aspect of the place. Not bad. I'd probably go back, but not before checking out some of the other places in Pittsburgh first.

we steamrolled through here on our road trip. we were staying at the sheraton across the street and the concierge suggested we check it out. good suggestion, because it was ladies night. it was kind of dead when we first got there. either it really did fill up, or all the alcohol we had made it seem more full. we ended up having a really great time- girls dancing on bars, learning the cupid shuffle, stumbling through the electric slide. we may have been a two man crew, but i think we brought so much party in our pants, the buckhead wouldn't have known what to do with more than two of us.
