Review from Sheryl T.

Went here for the first time with one of my co-workers and I can say this definitely a fun bar with friendly people and amazing bartenders who can whip up a fun drink on demand if you're not sure what you want!

"Right round baby right round."
Spin probably hosts some of the cutest guys in Pittsburgh. Vibe is much more upscale and 'fancy' than its local counterparts. There is a few tables that have some light board games. Plain outdoor space in the back, good if you're a smoker.
Staff was really nice and drink prices were surprisingly good! Bartenders didn't skimp on the booze either.
My experience was rounded out when a girl projectile vomited all over her table and thats when things 'spun' out of control. She was VISIBLY intoxicated for a couple hours, it was only a matter of time. The smell was unbearable and the staff was unaware until I brought it to their attention.
All of that aside their was a pretty decent band in the front and the music piped through after was pretty good. -

One of the best bars in all of Shadyside. It's very modern on the inside, and the crowd is a bit more dressed up than say 5801. Drinks are reasonable and the bartenders are attentive and kind. It can get packed on the weekends, but it still is a good time, as most of the people there are courteous.

After a respite and coffee post Mad Mex insane margaritas, we headed here to continue our Pittsburgh adventures. I loved the band the minute we walked in, and it was packed for a Thursday night. Everyone knew each other, and people were super friendly. The bartender actually made me a Hypnotiq martini, which I had never had before and I loved it. I switched to my mainstay vodka martinis later in the evening, and we all had a great time, dancing and meeting people. On a Thursday night and with great friends this place was really fun!

I guess Pittsburghians don't review their own bars.....
Definately the nicest interior of the 5 bars in town that I checked out, by far....a real suave lounge feel. The drinks were much stronger than across the street. Not as big of a crowd, which could be good or bad depending on what you are out for...it was a nice place to take a break. Smoky litte drag-gy porch out back. -

This place initially reminded me hugely of a bar in champaign-urbana (my problem, not theirs) so I panicked for a minute, but eventually realized that the bar it reminded me of 1) never had anyone in it and 2) never had any drag queens on the plasma screens, so then I relaxed.
The drinks had tons of alcohol!! -

Spin is defiantly a nice small bar with a lot of ambiance. Although it is a gay bar anyone can go in there and not feel that 'extra' gay vibe. The specials are great and all day everyday until Midnight. They also have outside seating in the back as well as the front of the bar.

I like this place best when no one else is there to talk to except the staff and a couple of locals. On the weekends, this place is crazy busy but all other time's Spin provides a relaxing atmosphere where sophisticated locals have a drink while carrying on discussions about various topics. They also have a fantastic jazz night!
