NBA Bars?

Where is a good place in the city limits to watch an NBA game tonight? Preferably with food/good beer/non-smoking. Unfortunately lots of times places won't even turn on TNT or ESPN over a Pens game even if a place has 5+ TV's. Pretty wack if you ask me.

Good luck. Unless Pitt is making a run in the tournament, this city gives zero fucks about basketball, particularly the NBA.

This is the truth, but I don't care about the NBA.

Surprise, the city without an NBA team doesn't really give a shit about the NBA.

I would give a testicle for an NBA team in Pittsburgh.

I'm not a big fan of the sport itself right now, but if we had a team I'd watch. Maybe I'd even get into it. I like the up and down action of hockey, so it wouldn't be a far stretch.

Surprise, some people have other interests than the mouthbreathers that have done the same thing for the last thirty years.

Surprise, someone got butthurt over the honest answer. Go cry somewhere else.

You're a fucking dork and the textbook definition of a "redditor". I wish for your sake you fix your rotten attitude. Butthurt is also a homophobic thing to say. Look it up, Very Cool Internet Bro.

Stack'd in Shadyside has in-booth TVs if they are unwilling to give you a larger tv.

Wow, cool. A helpful reply from someone who doesn't act like a complete asshole to "show people who's who and what's what" on the "Pittsburgh Reddit". Thanks.

If the local team is playing, many bars will not turn on any other games...period. You might be in luck tonight though since the Pens don't play until tomorrow.

I work at Primantis. We'll turn on the games for you as long as it's not a steelers game. Even if it's a pens game we'll put it on one tv, because we don't even get people to come in to watch most pens games. Even then if they come into watch they're there for 20 min then gone.

Last time I went to Primanti's one of the fries in my sandwich was still frozen.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully we can give you a better experience when you come down to watch the game.
