Searching for live music in Pittsburgh or concerts near you this weekend? Remedy in Lawrenceville is a go-to destination for underground shows, unique nightlife, and weekly events that break away from the mainstream. We host everything from punk, metal, industrial, and goth nights to live rock bands, dark dance parties, alternative DJ sets, and experimental performances. Whether you're looking for things to do in Pittsburgh this weekend or want to check out a midweek event, our rotating calendar has something for every night owl and music lover.
Remedy’s upstairs venue space offers a raw, intimate setting perfect for catching live bands and DJs without the inflated cover charges or corporate vibes. We’re a proudly DIY venue with a reputation for gritty charm, heavy music, and killer energy. The space includes a full bar, dynamic lighting, heavy fog, and a solid sound system that keeps the room moving. Most events are 21+, with no cover unless otherwise listed — making Remedy one of the best affordable music venues in Pittsburgh.
Planning a night out in Lawrenceville? Remedy is located at 5121 Butler Street, surrounded by bars, breweries, restaurants, and vintage shops. Street parking is typically available within a block or two, and public transportation stops are nearby. The venue is on the second floor of a multi-story bar, with darts, pinball, a jukebox, and a spacious back patio downstairs for chilling between sets. Remedy is now a fully non-smoking venue indoors, and we gladly accept credit/debit cards.
Remedy is one of Pittsburgh’s best-kept secrets for late-night events and live entertainment. We're not a concert hall or a club — we're something in between. If you're Googling “weeknight events near me,” “free concerts Pittsburgh,” or “where to see local bands in Lawrenceville,” you’ve found your spot. From Friday night shows to low-key Tuesday DJ sets, our goal is to make every night feel like something worth stumbling into.
