5801 in Shadyside is the preppiest gay bar in the Burgh.

Hope you have fun in Pittsburgh! Here's a list of the spots I know about'

Head to 5801 for the bougie gays

You could argue blue moon is also preppy, but its a lot more casual. Drag performances some nights as well.

P-town for a more generic gay bar experience. Some cool monthly music events go down there too (look up Jellyfish).

Lucky's if you wanna smoke a cig and see some noodles

Club pittsburgh on sat nights if you like techno

Donny's is closed (rip donny's)

Cruise is a parking garage now

I've never been to brewers so I can't comment

Honorable mentions:

Trim in Lawrenceville. Its a queer run underwear/clothing store. lots of fantastic brands and cool fits.

Spirit Nightclub: several monthly house and dance events frequented by the LGBT community, namely Cherry Bomb and House Plants

I'm probably forgetting/missing a few spots, hopefully someone else can chime in. I've been searching high and low for a cute little queer coffee shop or other hangout spot but haven't found any yet.

You might like Harold's Haunt in Millvale!

Oh, this looks fantastic! I'll have to check it out.

I truthfully mean this in the most wholesome, naïve way possible, but what does "see some noodles" mean? I'm not hip and am genuinely curious bc it made me smile/chuckle, but I'm not sure if I should...

Haha you're fine!

The upstairs has "gogo dancers"

Ahh ok, makes sense! Thanks! Hopefully I brought a chuckle to your day :)
