One of the greatest bars in the world, Gooski’s, here in Pittsburgh, PA is difficult to describe. It is sensory overload and sensory deprivation at the same time. The fact that it is both the brightest bar and the darkest bar in town (depending upon where you are standing), is just one of the examples of why Gooski’s is one of the most dynamic cultural epicenters that serves alcohol in Pittsburgh. Pipe fitters, sneaker peekers, punkers, and retirees all commiserate over Iron Cities and Stellas while The New York Dolls blasts from the Jukebox. Girltalk plays to a SRO crowd in the back of the bar while the locals cuss him out in the front. A free drink or a boot to the ass could be coming at any minute… and the bathrooms are a Pittsburgh graffiti Mecca. They are a glimpse of Jackson Pollock vs. Jean-Michel Basquiat that results in a seizure educing sensory overload. I have compiled a collection of bathroom graffiti after the break.
