The bar is located just down Forbes Avenue from Hamburg Hall.Īside from Holiday’s gay affiliation, the bar has become known to patrons both gay and straight as just a nice place to hang out.
Once one of very few gay bars in Pittsburgh, Holiday has long been a nexus for the gay community, both as a night spot and as an active contributor to charities focused on gay welfare. Carnegie Mellon purchased the building and will demolish it in June. After more than half a century of history, on April 29 the landmark bar Holiday is closing its doors for good.
