Open Mic Night At Pub I.G.

Last Wednesday, I got to experience the cool vibe at Pub I.G.'s open mic night in Pittsburgh, PA. Located at 328 Atwood Street in the heart of Oakland, Pub I.G. is a fresh new venue offering live entertainment and great deals on drinks. I'm glad to see a new establishment promote live music and local talent. Want to see for yourself what the hype is all about? Stop in on Wednesdays at 9 PM for the weekly open mic night. In the meantime, visit Pub I.G.'s facebook page to learn more about their events, and check out the pics below.

"Spice Cafe" on Atwood is now "Pub I.G."

We want to welcome Pub I.G. into the scene. Spearheaded by Ray Matthews a.k.a. Uncle Ray, Pub I.G. stands where Spice Cafe once stood. Many a glorious night took place in the underworld of 328 Atwood St., the main drag in the heart of Oakland. From open mic nights to karaoke, here at Major Triad we remember the countless events that made us feel like rock-stars. All of that stopped when Spice Cafe ceased to exist. The many times we walked up Atwood to find that Spice Cafe's doors were closed brought about a sense nostalgia. This nostalgia is now over! With T.J. Harris a.k.a. DJ Get Nasty as resident DJ, things are going to take a new twist. Breathing life into Pub I.G., Get Nasty's outreach through BC1 Production is about to change the game forever. So let the good times roll, and let's set the roof on fire... Well, not literally -- we NEED places like Pub I.G.

Address: 328 Atwood St. Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA.
