Sanctuary is my favorite club in Pittsburgh! It rivals Avalon (former Limelight) in NYC due to its chic, trendy crowd and the location in a former church!
LOCATION: Sanctuary is located on Penn Ave in Pittsburgh's Strip District (downtown). It is easily reached by taxi or on the T (our slooooow version of a subway). The new UV Bus runs till 3:30 am and does loops through all the nightlife areas of the city.
LOOK: It's very modern with dull colors and bright lights. The club is airy, with the dance floor on the main floor and a open stair case leading to a higher floor with a bar and a balcony that wraps all the way around for your viewing pleasure. On the bottom floor is a smaller, less crowded bar and couches to rest your tired feet.
MUSIC: current hip-hop/dance/pop/techno remixed by a host or house DJ.
CROWD: Beautiful young professionals. Dress in nice clothes. E.g., girls sometimes wear chic short dresses with heels. Also, guys, make sure you do not wear tennis shoes or sandals, and no shirts with logos. They are tight with who comes in.
DRINKS: They have a large selection of drinks. The drinks are on the more expensive side but do not break your bank like some clubs can.
