    PNC Park / Pittsburgh / Travel Reccomendations?

    A couple friends and I are going to see the Giants play the Pirates during the first weekend of June...

    Apparently, there are some hotels near by...maybe even walking distance...

    Any tips / reccomendations for hotel / bar / restaurant options near the park?

    Thanks!

    There's a Holiday Inn Express right on the South side of the river on 10th street in Pittsburgh.

    My recommendation would be to stay there, you would have to get transportation to and from the game (I'm pretty sure they offer a shuttle) but then at night you are right at Carson St. which is pretty much where you want to be if you have a group of friends and are looking for a ton of choices for bars.

    If you stayed by the stadium (there are a few choices) your choices for bars are much more limited and if you wanted to go to Carson Street (recommended) you would have to catch a short cab ride there.

      Thanks for the tip, Kehlis...

      I've been in the neighborhood before and it is a great area...

      Turns out that the guys I'm traveling with want to get something cheaper outside (but not too far) from town...

      The Saturday night game and Sunday afternoon game we're going too will leave a 12-13 hour turnaround, so not much time for bars this trip...

      What 'burbs should we consider?

      We're coming from Western New York State, so I guess burbs with decent hotel options (Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, etc.) north of town?

      I don't know the names of the towns that are close, so any help much appreciated!
