It is such a small venue that the only reasonable option to ensure everyone's health is to require that patrons be vaccinated. Please do not let this dampen your opinion of Club Cafe. People seem to be leaving poor reviews because they are upset that the club is requiring that their patrons be vaccinated. I notice that Club Cafe has consistently received 5 star reviews up until the Covid crisis. The intimate nature of the club assures that you can have excellent interaction with some pretty incredible nationally known artists on the right night. But it is so small that standing is not a problem. Get there early for the best seating or you will have to stand. I'll ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for the now defunct Rex Theater, because it was an amazing venue all-around with incredible sound AND staff, but if the shows that used to happen there, now go down at the new Thunderbird Cafe, I won't be quite as heartbroken as i was when the Rex Theater closed 😎👍🙂🕺🕺🕺Ĭlub Cafe has long been my favorite music venue in Pittsburgh. It used to be one of the absolute worst venues to try and record audio at, and now its one of the easiest. It's better sounding system translates EASILY onto my recent Perpetual Groove recording from, and its NOT filled with an abundance of crowd chatter, which was ALWAYS a staple at the old venue. IMO, its a great place to see a show at, or just go to grab a drink or two with some friends!!! But since it's renovation, the 'taper' in me really loves it. I have always loved the intimacy of this venue, and it STILL has that feel even after its renovation when it was finally made bigger and the T-Bird bought the building next door. Next show i hit there and record at, im going to try to get a SEAT on the balcony so I can record from up there, which is parallel to the stacks/speakers. The sound system is much better IMO, the venue is bigger, has a very acceptable bar that's quick to get a drink at, and the stage and venue overall can hold more people.

I have always loved the Thunderbird Cafe, but since it's renovation, I absolutely LOVE it. Way to go dummy! If the restaurant is so worried about customers running on a bill, TAKE their IDs until they pay! It’s not hard! It’s better than making yourselves look like total A$$e$! Now my family and I think the staff here are very racist! What did you want us to do? Would you rather have us leave without tipping?

I loved this place until he ruined the night for us. Maybe he should put two and two together before stopping us at the door. I left that tip only for the woman that took care of us, not for him. She was absolutely amazing! The only reason why I don’t give it a 5 star is because the gentlemen/bartender who was a lot younger and had blond long hair and somewhat has a baby mustache tried to stop us at the door telling us we only left $10 as the bill, but was indeed the TIP. This review is only for the waitress/bartender. This review is being written directly after my experience on February 20th, 2022 at around 11:30 pm so that way the manager can pretty much figure out with one of his staff members needs a good talking to since I wasn’t able to get a name.
