Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Tickets?
You do NOT need a ticket to enjoy the bar, up to a half hour before an events starting time. This is subject to change - but we try our best to keep this consistent when we can. If you still for the ensuing show, the ticket price will be added to your tab.
Most weekend shows are sold out - but we keep a small pool of walkup tickets that sell on a first come, first served basis starting at 5pm. Please buy tickets in advance!
Where Do I Park?
Bottlerocket maintains 2 large FREE parking lots at 824 Industry St. and 205 Allen St.
There is also free street parking along Arlington Ave, Industry St, and a free parking lot behind the Dollar Bank (after 5pm). There are also 2 paid lots off of Warrington Ave.
PLEASE, DO NOT PARK IN THE TWO LOTS ADJACENT TO THE VENUE!
Is The Venue All Ages?
Unless noted all events with a start time before 9:30pm are open to ticket holders 16 or older. Children of any age are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
Can I Buy Tickets Elsewhere?
Bottlerocket hosts many acts playing to smaller capacity than they typically would elsewhere- while great for our audiences, unfortunately this also leads to ticket scalping. We are EXTREMELY active finding and cancelling resold tickets with NO REFUNDS. If you have a ticket to a sold out show you can no longer attend, reach out to us for a refund, and we will resell the tickets at face value to another fan.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BUY A TICKET FROM A SECONDARY TICKETING PLATFORM - INCLUDING SEATGEEK, VIVIDSEATS, STUBHUB, ETC.
We offer a STANDBY LINE to all sold out shows to fill in unfilled seats.
Can I Bring Food?
Yes! Bottlerocket now offers small food options - but outside food is always allowed.
Do I Need to be a Member?
No! Membership is a great option for repeat visitors, but our space is open to all!
Is The Bar ADA Accessible?
Unfortunately our building is nearly 100 years old, and is not fully ADA compliant. There is a small step to enter the bar and the bathrooms are slightly narrower than ADA standards. We have taken to steps to make the space as accessible as possible and have accommodated handicapped patrons.
Please email boxoffice@bottlerocketpgh.com if you would like further accommodations - we are happy to help!
How Do I Rent the Space?

How Do I Perform Here?
We are always looking for good ideas and cool shows - please send inquires to Booking@BottlerocketPgh.com or to one of the emails listed here!
Inquires NOT sent to this email (IE communicated via DM) unfortunately will likely be ignored - we receive dozens per day and we can not possibly respond to them all.
