I replied elsewhere, but what area will you be in and what do you look for in best?

Oakland will be a mob scene. Thats where the Pitt campus is, so it will be a great time to see some couch burning!

Station Square is a cool area. Former train station turned into a large entertainment venue...many chain restaurants/bars (Hard Rock, Bar Louie, Rock Bottom), some shops (including Poor Richard's cigar shop), a few hotels, and fairly easy parking.

South Side has a ton of bars, most with more of a pubby feel. If I remember correctly, there is one huge sports bar there, tvs everywhere, waitresses in tiny ref uniforms. I don't remember if thats on the south side or the strip district though.

Church Brew Works in Liberty (I think its Liberty) is a cool place. Former church turned into a brewery. I don't remember the tv situation there though.

Let me know where you'll be staying and what you're looking for and I can give you some better info.
