Real Luck Cafe

This place is definitely a dive bar. We walked by and the vintage shamrock outside intrigued us and we decided to come back later. We looked it up on Yelp and that's the reason we found out it was listed as "gay bar." This place is almost two places in one. The downstairs was your typical dive bar feel. Dark, dank, country music played. Shamrocks all around. Then the upstairs opened, and you were transported to a dance club with naked male dancers above the patrons. Thank God, my Dad and mom didn't join us (the shamrock is a little misleading). There was a small dance floor located behind the dancers. Drinks were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly, welcoming, etc.Also, you can smoke in the bar.

Been here a few times, it is very trashy with a sketchy, elderly clientele which I usually enjoy but not at this place. The younger ones are often street people, drug addicted or otherwise risky. Make sure to bring small bills, if you hand over a $20 you most likely won't get change. I'm used to bars where you can leave a card or some cash on the bar and be billed correctly however crowded it gets. That's not the case here, every single time I did this I've had to chase the bartender who, by the time I get to her, has forgotten whose money was whose. I don't think it's deliberate but fair warning. Do not being laptops or valuables, if you do, hold onto them.

Went on a Saturday. Came around 10:30. Left about 1:30. Had a great time with friends, but would feel comfortable enough being there alone. The drinks are simple and cheap. The service is fine. The nude dancers are fine, but having nice male dancers is great at lowering inhibitions throughout - and that is fun. After midnight the clientele was much more interesting than the strippers. Be aware, cash only, and smoking - which is a bit of shock at first.

Visiting Pittsburgh and was recommended to check this place. This dive bar is a dive. Cash only bar, very smoky, reasonable prices. The second floor dance, gogo boys bar is open at 10pm. The 2 lady bartenders are a joke. They are not attentive to customers and either look stressed when 3 or more customers are waiting. The also bicker between each other. The prices between both bars are 50cents to 75cents different. Either you pay less for faster service and less pour from 2nd floor bar or pay little more for normal pour with suffering service and not attentive strung out bartender's. Not gonna mention the names. Last night we were there, big fight with 2 customers, bottle throwing masculine guys. Didn't see any food to order, you probably would get food poisoning. They had chips available for sale. Maybe I'll return on the next visit.

Calling all Dive Bar Divas! I've been coming here for years with my friends and I have to say I have absolutely never had a bad time!I give it three stars because come on, it's a dive. Albeit a good one, but a dive nonetheless.Anything goes here because everyone is fun and easy-going. Just don't be an asshole.Prices are decent and (almost) everyone is pretty.Meow

True dive bar that accepts everyone! Great prices on bevies and friendly to a fault (P.S. I'm straight and never felt out of place). Give it a shot (which are cheap, $1.50 Jell-O shots!)!

The BEST and most inclusive gay bar in Pittsburgh hands down!! The bartenders are friendly, the people are fun, and the drinks are good. Cannot recommend enough

The smoke is terrible. Surprised smoke is still allowed inside in Pa. The drink was fine. Sundays are dead.

Really excited to go to this bar since it had reviews as a cool gay dive bar and my first time in Pittsburgh. Disappointed because I got there, not too many people, sat down and the lady working the bar just ignored my friend and I. People who showed up after was being served, and one person even let her know we were here before them and she just waved down her hand and said she is going around the bar. Pretty rude and unnecessary. We left without waiting for "our turn" around the bar.

I was in Pittsburgh and stumbled across Real Luck Cafe. I first went in and sat at the downstairs bar and was immediately greeted by the bartender and a couple customers- very friendly. The guy next to me said we should go to the upstairs bar and see the Go Go Guys. I didn't even realize there was a second floor, let alone GO GO BOYS.The whole place was HOT! Great dancers and a lot of great looking customers. Needless to say I kept wanting to leave to drive back to the Buffalo area, but just couldn't. Ended up closing the bar and I had to leave. AMAZING! A must go to place when in Pitt! Thanks for a wonderful night!!!!WOW!!
