Pittsburgh Pubs

Event CANCELED
What better way to meet new colleagues than to spend your open evening networking over a few drinks? Sign up for Pittsburgh Pubs and visit three nearby nightspots to enjoy beer, light dinner, and great conversation. The venues selected are local favorites; the evening involves roughly one mile of walking between venues. Must be 21 years of age to participate. Requires registration by October 25 and an additional fee. As an alternative, an informal group will gather at the front entrance to the Westin to visit nearby bars together.
