About this business

Gooski's has evolved from a neighborhood hangout in Polish Hill to 'the' gathering place for alternative culture. The bar hosts many local bands, which play everything from rock and roll to punk. Occasionally a nationally-known group will perform on the stage. There are plenty of pool tables and drinks to satisfy the usually rowdy crowd. Cover charge varies based on the band performing. Food includes the traditional bar fare of sandwiches, burgers and fries.

good beer prices, not a great live music venue – i usually go here to see shows. as a venue, this place could be better. it's a cool space, but sounds bad. many bands i have seen here have sounded terrible. when i saw the same bands play at other venues, they sounded much better. the vibe is cool and the drinks are inexpensive.

A tremendous selection of imports, great specials and killer tunes make this Polish experience one not to be missed. – The Scene Dark and dingy, like most Pittsburgh neighborhood bars, Gooski's has a style all its own. A front bar area with booths, bar seating and raised tables gives way to a small hallway which leads to the poolroom. But on the way, don't pass by a stellar Wurlitzer. Who's There Blue-collar types and young punks down the more than affordable brews in the two spacious coolers on either side of the golden rai... read more

Hold the pretense, please – The thing that makes Gooski's such a great bar for me is that everyone checks their pretentiousness at the door. Not coincidentally, this makes for great conversation with folks you might not encounter on a daily basis.
