The 805 Speakeasy and Pittsburgh's Hidden History | Pittsburgh News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Step into Pittsburgh’s hidden speakeasy, The 805, where history sips alongside cocktails. Born from the legendary 1930 “805” lottery chaos that shook the city, this Black-led nonprofit space celebrates resilience, art, and community roots. Tucked behind curtains in a former furniture basement, it’s more than a bar—it’s a tribute to the vibrant, often overlooked legacy of street lotteries in Black neighborhoods, now reimagined as a cultural hub with gallery floors and stories that echo through every drink.
