Medusa’s Lair

Parking/Valet: Parking is on the street. Nothing on Morewood in the same block but parking on both Baum Blvd and Center Ave are usually ample for a walk of less than a…

It's been several months so I figured an update to my last review was in order as no one else has posted anything. The layout is the same and they still…

The Cricket Lounge is gone, it is now Medusa's Lair although the old Cricket sign is still up. There has been some internet chatter about this place for a few months…

Parking/Valet: Parking is on the street. Nothing on Morewood but parking on both Baum Blvd and Center Ave are usually ample for a walk of less than a block. The Club:…

Came here on a Saturday night at like 930z Post CoVid. It’s in a commercial area, restaurants, banks, pep boys, safe area. I think there is parking behind but you can’t access…

So it was later on Friday evening and was heading home and decided to stop in to see that was happening at this club. Doorman greets me. Asked for ID and…

I arrived just before midnight. Upon entering the door guy said a mask was required while not drinking and asked a couple of basic health screening questions. Cover was $5,…

Having not visited in a while, I decided to see how the Cricket was faring with the massive construction project out front. I suppose business was good since the place was…

As one old Pittsburgh radio man once said there are three seasons in Pittsburgh. Fall, Winter and Orange Barrel. That has been evident around the area this year and they…

I decided to visit this club toward the end of the night. It was probably around 1 am when I arrived at the club. Cover was $10. There is a bar area in…

Be warned this is a city club that is rough around the edges but as with all clubs there can be diamonds in the rough. Amazing time with AA goddess.…

After several disappointing visits, the Cricket appears to be back to its old self. This evening had a decent number of dancers; a couple blondes, a couple brunettes, and a couple…

Had not stopped in for a while so made a point to see if the lady from my last visit was working, she was not.  Arrived a little after…

Ok how in the world does this place have such a high value rating!?!?! Got there around 11 and paid the cover ($10) met 2 decent looking girls in the entry…

We arrived after midnight on a Friday for a $10 cover. The club was starting to die down and there were about 6 girls working and about 3 hanging around after their…

I was passing through on a long road trip. I was here last year. Not much has changed. Cover was $10. Drinks were reasonable. $4 for a lager. The girls were mixed…

Was in the area Thursday night and decided to stop in. Place has not change in years so description are about the same. Was a nice night so the doorman…

I found this club to really serve its purpose. While the area has other clubs that interest me this felt like a very homey dive bar with strippers. I noticed the crowd was…

Decided to stop back and see how the Cricket is this summer. First off, the cover charge is back to $25 with unlimited cheap beer and well drinks. One dancer said…

Back to my favorite club. Not crowded nor deserted on a weekday night. About 7-8 girls and an equal number of patrons. Got a beer at the bar and eyed the stage…

I’ve gone to this place twice recently and both experiences were good. Once on a week night atound 10 and ended up staying till 2. The dancers were not the best looking…

I went in on a Wednesday night around 11pm and paid the $5 cover charge. I think most people are familiar with the set up of this club so I won’t…

I’ve been twice, Tuesday and Wednesday. Not a ton of dancers - 5 one time 6 the other. However, not a lot of customers either. Easier to spend time with…

Club was the same as previously reviewed but a word of caution - I've never had a problem in two decades at this club but I heard another patron had their vehicle…

Was my second time in Pittsburgh in the last few months. First time we did the downtown clubs but they weren't our thing I.e ladies were in ballroom gowns etc... This time…

My first time in a long time visiting Cricket Lounge. I met a new dancer (to me at least) named Kayla Marie (or something like that - it was hard to…

I've had several visits since my last review but try to avoid reviewing just for the sake of reviewing and the associated VIP membership. I've covered the standard weekend visit and…

I've been here about 5-6 times since my last review in February. The main reason I come here is I moved and now live not too far away, so it's convenient.…

Dropping another review because this visit warranted up-rating the place after the last few visits were bombs. Not surprisingly, the dancers can make or break a visit and this visit, a…

I was back here for the second time in a month. Went on a weekend and was a little surprised to see very few patrons. Maybe about 5 guys, none below 60.…

I traveling with nothing to do in the evening so I was there when this place opened and I was there when they lock the doors. They open about 8p and dancers…

I've been to this club numerous times. It was better before the original owner died and is now under new management. Since the new management has arrived, it seemed like…

This was my first time at a strip club. But I'll be going back for more. It is located right next to my regular hair salon, so I had always meant to…

First visit here in about 10 years. While memories fade, I would say this place has not changed much in how it looks. On a mid week night and bad weather, very…

I moved to Pittsburgh recently and was surprised smoking was still allowed indoors. The Saturday night I was there was pretty busy, and my eyes were burning before long. It's kind of…

This was my first time visit since the old owner died a year or so ago. The cover is now $10 instead of $5. If I'm not mistaken, the beers…

The Cricket got their liquor license back, so they are back to a $10 cover, a regular cash bar, and are supposedly open 6 nights a week again. The club has…

I had been to the Cricket a number of times when I was younger, but haven't been back in over 5 years. It's definitely a different place now. As most…

I thought I'd try another round here and wasn't disappointed in the lsp dances. Lots of roaming without any bouncer intervening. Girls arent a quality but friendly enough at the…

It's been a year or so since I've been there and I heard the $25 cover was an open bar. Nice money spent since I was there abut 4 hours I came…

Another weekend visit saw the Cricket less busy than last time but still doing decent business. Dancer quality was up this visit and there was enough variety that anyone should have…

Cricket is back open and a bit different now. They have instituted a $25 dollar cover to enter, but now it includes beer and well drinks. They had some trouble with the…

I wasn't going to review the Cricket again, but this visit was a very different experience than I've had there ever before. First, it was packed. Apparently there was some…

Heard they had reopened after the death of the previous owner, so we went down to check it out. There is currently a $25 cover but beer and well drinks are…

They've finally reopened (under new management), and the Cricket is a great place to head. $25 cover, but DRINKS ARE FREE. Surprisingly good liquor selection, plus the usual selection of domestic beers. Good…

Stopped in on a Saturday night to see what was happening. At 9pm, there were only two dancers! Luckily, one was a very attractive thin blonde. The other was…

Cricket is located not far from the Pitt and CMU campuses. Parking is on the street. walk in straight to the bar. Drink prices are average -…

Stopped in with a buddy again to see what was happening. Like our last visit, there were only a handful of dancers working and a few customers. Weeknight dancers seem…

Ahh, the cricket. Used to come here many years ago when I lived in Pittsburgh. That was a long time ago, and this club has changed a bit since then.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Some call it a dive, but that's my preference along with the slower nights of the week. Just recently made my first visit and I will definitely be back. There are few…

I had not had the chance to stop into this place in a while. So when I attended a local concert I decided to stop in afterward. Got there a…

I hadn't been here in years, as my favorite dancers had moved on (the aforementioned Chloe was one, Venus, Nicole, Joey, CJ Belle). I stopped in to see Krista and Kayla, who…

First of all over the last ten years I have been to many clubs in Pittsburgh. I used to frequent cricket quite a but years ago when it was topless and…

Tuesday review so take as you will. Walk in and there's the bar with the one stage just beyond it. The girls were a mix, but a couple real attractive…

Cricket Lounge is a sort-of weird experience. It has the feel of an off-the path trashy nudie bar, but with college-aged girls. It is located randomly in the middle of…

I had not been to Cricket's for a long while and so when I found myself driving through the area decided to stop in. There is still a problem with on-street…

No major changes since my last visit here except an uptick in dancer quality. I've been back here twice in the last few weeks and had an enjoyable time both visits.…

While I generally still enjoy The Cricket, the quality of the dancers has gone down in the last few months. A lot of the best girls are no longer here such…

It's been a little while since I visited this club, but it's definitely changed up a bit and for the better. Private booths now for dances (used to be just chairs lined…

This club underwent a renovation about 2 years ago, so if it's been a while since you've been, it's worth stopping by. They've added private dance booths, price is $25…

Tuesday night was slow, naturally. There were about ten girls dancing, all above 6. For my taste, the two hottest ones were Desire, a darker Negress, and Sam, a lighter…

Would just like to amend my review of January 07 a little. Stopped back at the Cricket since I enjoyed that visit, but I have to drop a point from my…

I like this club, but im not sure why. Let metell you. $5 cover they dont charge you til you get the 1st drink. Average prices, $5. I had a small pizza…

Stopped in at the Cricket recently for "old time's sake" - we probably had not stopped in for 15 years! What a surprise we had in store for us! Totally…

Visited the club last night and came away underwhelmed. Parking is a bitch as there's no lot so you're parking on the street. Inside the place is small with just…

I've visited the cricket several times when I was in college about 5 years ago, and I made a trip back there last week and I can say it was a much…
