Cricket is the kind of place you either love or hate. Probably hate.
The club is pretty big compared to other in Pittsburgh. There is one main stage that is pretty big with two poles on either end and a newly attached swing. The bar is in front when you...

There were 6 dancers working and maybe that many patrons around 10pm. We've been here many times and this was one of the worst nights. The girls were hiding in the back or sitting at the bar and talking to the bartender and waitress, but were mostly attractive;...

After having some after work drinks a buddy and I decided to take in the Cricket. We arrived about 8pm, and hour after posted opening time and arrived to see no dancers on stage and just a couple patrons at the bar. The club itself is fairly small with one...

Visited on a Friday night. Talked to a dancer who said that Saturday nights are generally a bigger crowd, both for customers and for the number of dancers working.

Anyway, there were about 8 dancers working, three of them were black (more than you will generally find in Pittsburgh). ...

Last summer, this place was fantastic. This year, not so much. Not sure if it changed ownership between now and then, but last summer the girls were the bomb. Sweet and would chat with you and looked like they wanted to have a good time at work....

Stopped in Monday night. There were only 2 dancers on duty, Raquel and Alice. Both are heavily inked and punctured, Alice more so. Raquel is a cute petite girl, Alice is a little more average with signs of motherhood. I didn't partake in any dances this visit,...

Overall a poor club. Located in area with no street parking. Club is very small, with one stage and upstairs for private dances. I came on Wednesday evening. Only 2-3 dancers. Stage dances are nude. However lap dances are topless only with no touching. (Not even legs!!) Girls were ok,...

It's hard to argue with a 5 dollar cover and 2 dollar beer specials. Dancers were all hot and topless lap dances range from 25 on up to way expensive. It's not the worst club you'll visit but not the best either. I went for a topless...

This place has been around forever and I don't know that the quality has ever changed as much as my expectations have become more.

It's small, and smokey, but if you're looking for a hole in the wall type club this is it. The club is full nude which is always...

Visited again on a Thursday night; the website claimed 4 dancers would be working but when I arrived around 9pm, there were only 3. Over the next hour or so, 3 more showed up. Talking to one dancer revealed that only 1 of the scheduled 4 showed up,...

Stopped by Cricket around 10pm on a weeknight. It was fairly quiet, but there were around 6 girls, so I ordered a beer (+ $5 cover) and took my chances. I watched an African American girl dance on the pole, and she was really quite accomplished, with a spectacular spinner...

I admit that I don't get out much, but I'd been to the Cricket before and had a good time. Upon reflection of my most recent visit, I think that was more due to a particular dancer than to the club overall.

Cover is cheap ($5). Drinks are reasonable ($5). And...

Having been to the Cricket several times recently, I am willing to concede the lower ratings I gave it for this visit are possibly due to the holidays and not having their regular rotation available. There were five girls working, one of which was a high-energy show and fantastically...

Never thought I would nd up here again, but with boredom, no car, and The Cricket two blocks from hotel I decided to go. I walked in shortly after it opened and there were four dancers and two customers. Kind of sad scene, but no big deal. I grabbed a...

First time there , and was actually impressed. I expected a much divier, grimier place. Cover is a steal at $5. Drinks were reasonable at $5.

For a Friday night, I thought the crowd was moderate at best. Not a bustling mob at all. There were 5 or so dancers. all...

so I have been to the Cricket a few times in the past. Used to come here when I had to help my relatives with some things and would stay overnight, and would need a little lubrication. Good place to go for a drink, the cover is only $5. Beer...

A small run down place in the Oakland area, a dive bar with a few strippers. Visitors are mostly students and locals. The area itself is residential and relatively safer than some other clubs. It is also close from Downtown. Although I have had a guy ask for money once,...

It's a neighborhood bar and the quality of the dancers has gone way down since the last time I was here. The last time I was here there were only a couple who weren't at least a 5. This time there was only one who was a 7....

I went here about a year ago. It was my first strip club, and I've been going to lots of clubs ever since, so I guess you could say I'm a bit nostalgic. I haven't been back, but the place was great. I got in without cover (don't know if...

This is very much a small, neighborhood place. I was there from 9-11 on a Wednesday night, and there were never more than 10 customers in the joint. There were only 4 dancers on duty. None of them was particularly hot, but they all were friendly. ...

This is an "easy" club. It's small, fully nude with a full service bar. Girls are variable, some very hot, some not.

Premium review:
I've gone to Cricket about 5 times over the last 3-4 years. It's the first place I've been to where the private lap dances involved fully nude women...

Very disappointed. Intel indicated this could be a fun place but I just couldn’t get past the dancer quality. No plans to return.

When here on a Saturday night from about 7:45p to 8:45p. Seemed like it is located in a decent neighborhood with sufficient on street parking...

I love The Cricket. I've only gone a handful of times, but I've never left disappointed.
When you walk in, it's not the fanciest club in town by any means.. though, not the worst either. Sort of eclectic decoration, with greek statues, and spiral staircases, and a pretty nice stage. Very...

I was in town on business and th Cricket was a block away and decided to check it out. It is definitely the "dive bar" of strip clubs. When you walk in the bar is to your left and I walked up and got a $4 beer which is obviously...

As noted above, I visited on a Friday a few weeks ago with a few friends, only to find there weren't too many dancers working. It's Friday! I've visited before, after I got out of the service, and wasn't too disappointed with my first visit. As midnight approached, more customers...
