Artisan Cafe

We strive to bring you a unique glimpse into the coffee world with a diverse selection of manual brewing methods from around the world ranging from to french presses, a Slayer Espresso Machine, and cold drip towers.
​
Slayer strives to preserve coffee’s inherent sweetness and maximize the viscosity of espresso. Flow rate is manually controlled with patented technology during a unique wetting stage, promising the opportunity for finer grind size and the versatility of flavor profiling.
Stop down and visit Owner Tyler Bryan and have him dazzle you with coffee science and pretty latte art!

During show times you'll use the side door (Tattoo shop door), so you don't end up on stage!  If you're super early, there will be a waiting area in the Irma Freeman Center lobby across the street.

The Ace Hotel

​120 S Whitfield St, Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Ace Hotel Pittsburgh makes its home in a century-old former YMCA building at the heart of East Liberty. We're surrounded by a community that, through grassroots support, has helped to create a place both by the neighborhood and for the neighborhood. We're a short jaunt from some of the best restaurants in the city, museums and braintrusts, an active art and idea scene with shops, galleries and cafes filled with folks pushing and pulling culture, advocating at the edges of Pittsburgh's future, helping one another grow through the deep roots of one of America's most hope-springing cities.
​
We have public spaces to gather, start a startup, watch the game, divine plans large and small. There's world-class dining and drink in the building, at the ready — and if you're into sleeping, we happen to have the most comfortable beds in the galaxy.
