Static

I went to static with my 4 girlfriends for my birthday last weekend (sat night). We had a pretty meh experience. The bouncer stopped us in line to push VIP bottle service, only letting us go when we declined for the 3^rd time. He detained us just until 11:01, then told us we had to pay $ 5 cover (before 11 is free). When I explained to him that I didn’t think this was reasonable, he very snidely told me and my friends that it wasn’t his job to look at his watch and too bad. The manager rectified the situation (thank you!!!) But that put a damper on the whole experience because of how rudely we were treated. The music was lame house music and there was almost no one there. Perhaps it picks up at 1 am, but we didn’t stay that long. The smoking in the bar doesn’t really bother you which is good. Great bartenders. I’d go again but only if there was better music.

I’ve been to Static twice: once on NYE and once on a regular Saturday night with a friend. NYE was packed. The other time I was there the dance floor filled up, but not so much that you couldn’t move around. They play electronic dance music (some it remixed from Top 40, some of it random stuff) exclusively. If you like EDM this is the place to go. If you hate it, stay away, you won’t have a good time. I like it here because I come out to dance not make the scene (what scene there is in Pittsburgh anyway) and Static doesn’t feel real meat-​markety like some places. Some people dress up, but there are also a lot of girls in jeans and dressy tank tops and guys in jeans and button down shirts. Low-​key for the most part. The cover was only five bucks, five dollar beer, and they had free coat check. I also like the fact that I can park my car for five dollars (cash only) right in front of the club and there is a parking lot attendant there.

I had a great time at this place for New Years! The only complain I have is the long line in the bathroom and there was not a VIP entrance for people that bought VIP. But other than that, the environment was nice, music was great and staff were polite. Something that other places should learn!

Went here for my girlfriends birthday on a Friday night and got a table. Overall, everyone in my group had a great time — the music was good, the service was spectacular, prices were good. But, there were no people! This place could really use a few promoters.
I will be back to check it out again.

Friday night. Completely empty. I learned a lesson: check before i pay cover. I had a a group and we barely walked 5 feet in and turned around to politely asked for a return. They were completely dismissive. Bad business practice. They lost business from us.

I love Static. I just went there for my birthday last night. It is somewhat of a hit or miss place in the sense of crowd size. Fridays tend to be pretty dead, but on Saturdays, it fills up around midnight. I wouldn’t arrive any earlier than 11:30 pm. Their drinks aren’t super expensive. I love house music and this is the only club in Pittsburgh that plays it. The only bad thing is THEY ALLOW SMOKING, which I think is kind of sleazy for a club, but I’ll keep coming.

In a world where electronic dance music is a part of every possible genre in the music scene, Static offers a sweet haven for those who thrive on it.
It is probably the only club in Pittsburgh that caters solely to electronic music lovers setting it apart from the rest.
From the spacious dance floors, amazing resident DJ, reasonably priced drinks, bar dancers & fire artist, this clubs hits the mark on each & everyone of these must haves (not necessarily the bar dancers & fire artists… That’s an added bonus!).
A big plus is the crowd, consisting mainly of young professionals rather than the college going groupies commonly encountered at the South side club scenes… giving it a touch of sophistication that lacks in several other clubs/​lounges.
If you are into EAD… This is the place for you!

Amazing vibes, very beautiful and spacious. Top talent DJ events make this club a must while out in Pittsburgh.
All in all, Static is a top notch Pittsburgh night life venue. Hit me with those cryo blasts!
On a side note, I’ve had some of my best nights out at this establishment!

I will admit this place has major dance floor energy. If you like EDM I would recommend it. I don’t care for the place because the crowd is a bunch of weirdo sausage…

I am a Static regular, and I like being there for the following reasons:
— The only club in Pittsburgh that plays EDM
— Cool vibe
— Reasonably priced drinks
— Excellent customer service, take real good care of their regulars (Chris is great!)
— Spacious space, and nice dance floor
— They try to organize different events and change it out from time to time
My advice to the management:
— Keep up the good work!
— Make sure the table servers calculate bills accurately because mistakes have happened before!
— Get more DJs to play, and ask Strobe to change the sets he plays every week because they get very repetitive!

Great club and music. The prices for drinks wasn’t too bad and place was clean. It was very smoky and only had to wash my hair a few times to get the smell out. The only downside to this club is the small dance floor. Its manageable if you love to dance and can dance anywhere but what felt that was most frustrating was the amount of unattractive men just standing on the dance floor not moving. Just taking up space not dancing –looking creepy. and so annoying …

Electronic music is key for any club and Static delivers. I was here for NYE 2012/​3, however a few things are a miss. I never got the glow sticks… Size, drinks, and variety are a few things this place needs to focus on. I tried to order a long island iced tea, a zombie, and a mojito, the bartenders couldn’t make it and I was left with a simple jack n coke. A bit of a disappointment when you are paying $ 5 – 7 for a drink… The rest of the night was just crowded and no place to dance. It doesn’t have the space to support the volume on a crowded night. I guess that speaks for the crowd it brings in which is a non dancing crowd. A lot of people just stand and occupy the dance floor while they get pissed at the dancers pushing them aside. Smoking is aloud here which adds to some of the ‘flavor’ however depending on how many people are smoking it can get congested. They do provide coat check at an extra cost during the winter months of $ 1 which to me is inconvenient. It should be free just for coming to the club during the snow.
The music was good, I just feel like its not the scene Pittsburgh really appreciates. The club did bring the new year, however it was a surprise. There was no count down, and they simply yelled happy new year. That threw me off and left a bad taste in my throat. It was rather non traditional for a NYE party. meh.
I don’t think i will return to this place any time soon.

Personally, I am not the biggest fan of clubs that completely focus on electro/​house music. I prefer clubs that have a mix: starting off with old-​school hip-​hop, leading into top 40, and then finishing off with electro/​house music. HOWEVER, with what the description of the club states, «Pittsburgh’s First ELECTRONIC MUSIC focused nightclub,» Static is amazing. DJ Strobe is extremely good at keeping the crowd entertained and is one of the best DJs I’ve seen for electro/​house music. I go to Carnegie Melon University and the school got him to come and DJ one night during our annual Spring Carnival. Everyone who has gone to Static knows who he is and was extremely excited. The fact that there is not minimum on bottle service for VIP tables is a godsend and allows people to enjoy VIP service without breaking the bank, unlike other clubs. I do wish that the waitresses could be a little classier. Personally, I am not a fan of waitresses dressing up in costumes unless it is Halloween. Other than that issue, if you are into house music, then Static is the place to be.

For what it offers — all-​electronic — Static does a pretty good job. The dance floor is kinda small, with seemingly more room devoted to standing and drinking.
High ceilings, low lights, decent prices on drinks. A plus is that even when the place is busy, it’s easy to get drinks pretty quickly.
I came here for New Years as well and they did a decent job.

I love electronic music pretty much so I like to come here and just dance.
I’m planning on having my birthday bash here, their table minimum is only 50 $ and you don’t have a get a bottle if you don’t want to. And their drinks are reasonably priced.
Its as a club should be with high ceilings, I like how the bar, table sections and dance floor is set up. It is connected to club zoo which is 18 and over i believe.
I came here for Steve Aoki for my first time and had an amazing time both in Static and at Club zoo. If you’re a fan of electronic music I would definitely come here on a weekend night.

Great atmosphere. Awesome bartenders. When they feel like it occasionally good electronic club dance music.
Please note apparently no ski hats are allowed inside… FAIL.
Smoking is permitted so do it up.
