RUDE

If you are female, definitely skip this place. Bartenders pretended I didn't exist and guys-gone-wild was playing on 17 screens in the bar, and they pretty much laughed when I asked if they could maybe change ONE.

Rip off

The atmosphere is generally nice at the Saloon, with booths and usually decent music. HOWEVER, most bartenders will ignore you if you are not a regular or a hot young gay guy. Plus the drinks are expensive, and weak for what you pay. Crowd is mostly gay men in urban hipster clothes, wearing sunglasses, etc with the occasional homeless guy wandering in from the streets. No soap in the bathrooms just that damn alcohol stuff.

A different flavor from other bars

Cattivo is a neighborhood-type bar, most nights it is relatively empty. But Wednesday and Saturday, it is packed full of lesbians of all ages and flavors. In my opinion, it's a welcome break from the gay-male-dominated polished and pretentious bars we have so many of here in the Burgh. Donny's, the "other lesbian bar," is choked with young drama-centric lezzies with some sort of obsession with cocked baseball caps. True, the crowd at Cattivo is a little older, but some of us *want* that. Staff are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Food is great "bar food" and the pizza is awesome.
