Best Bars With Bottle Service In Pittsburgh

Not for the faint of heart, the VIP sections of Pittsburgh's nightclubs and lounges offer truly decadent bottle service experiences. Anything is possible in these exclusive settings. Later on, after the hangover has subsided and the receipts have been tallied, two distinct revelations will settle in. First, the idea of too much fun is absurd. Second is the thought that you can't wait to do that again. For those interested in experiencing the pinnacle of local club culture and VIP treatment, here are the best bottle service bars and clubs in Pittsburgh.

Diesel has proven itself to be a mainstay in an industry that sees clubs open and close on a constant basis. Among the reasons for its success in a fickle market lies in Diesel's ability to offer a first-rate experience to general admission visitors and VIPs alike. Back in 2006 when the city hosted the Major League All-Star game, Diesel was the "it" club for visiting celebrities like, Derek Jeter, Alyssa Milano and former Pirate Barry Bonds. Today, the upscale atmosphere still prevails, so if you're looking for a VIP experience fit for future hall of fame ballplayers and Hollywood actresses all in one place, you'll find it at Diesel.

The wildly popular Buckhead Saloon in Station Square is the newest establishment in Pittsburgh to offer bottle service for parties, special events and VIPs. A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, the place has something for everyone. A great spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations or even the occasional weekend bash for no good reason. Stop in on Tuesdays for 50 cent Miller Lite drafts from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. or during any Pittsburgh sporting event or holidays for some of the best specials in town. Bottle service perks include a private entrance for your party, a server devoted to keeping your drinks topped off, and clear views of the dance floor from the table's comfy couches, allowing VIPs to scout out the perfect dance partner before hitting the floor. Not into hard alcohol? Go for Buckhead's "beer" service instead of the standard bottle service. The staff will set you up with your own mini keg of Heineken or New Castle.
