ALTAR BAR

about as varied as they come. From artists like Snoop Dogg and Hoodie Allen, to pop newcomers like Imagine Dragons, Neon Trees, MuteMath and Grouplove, to punk classics like Misfits, Less Than Jake, Sum 41 and Anti-Flag, The Altar Bar plays host to some of the most unique, compelling and ballsy acts in the whole city. The idea is that a great live show is a great live show, regardless of the performer’s money, popularity or lack thereof. Sometimes a great live show isn’t just your favorite band playing your favorite song; sometimes it’s seeing some unknown opener bring the house down without so much as a page to their name. At The Altar Bar, you get the best of both under one roof. Whether a local band on the rise or a sold out marquis act, The Altar Bar’s state-of-the-art sound and top shelf lighting guarantees you’re seeing and hearing them at their absolute best. All you have to do is get here. In five short years, The Altar Bar has established itself as a vital touchpoint for live music in Pittsburgh and it happened simply because The Altar Bar is committed to bringing something fresh to the fans who want it.
