Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Tickets?
You do NOT need a ticket to enjoy the bar, up to an 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 stay for the ensuing show, the ticket price will be added to your tab. We typically offer several FREE shows a week.
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 but we cannot guarantee our ability to refund your purchase.
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 Get a Refund for Tickets?
Due to contractual agreements with performers and for the sake of consistency, all ticket sales are final. We've tried to be flexible on this policy in the past, but unfortunately are no longer able to do so.
HOWEVER, to limit ticket scalping exceptions can be made for SOLD OUT shows only. If you know you can not attend a sold out performance, please contact us at general@bottlerocketpgh.com - a refund will be processed if your ticket can be resold. Refund requests are closed 48 hours before day of show.
Can I Bring Food?
Yes! Bottlerocket offers our famous hot dogs - 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?
We have a very old building that is not fully compliant with modern ADA codes, however- handicapped patrons have frequently enjoyed shows at the bar. We do typically ask for advance notice to assist with specific needs and seating, we are happy to help.
Please email boxoffice@bottlerocketpgh.com if you would like further accommodations, specific seating, or other questions - we are happy to help!
