Allegheny Commons Park

Parks and recreation, and no, we’re not talking about the show with Amy Poehler. We’re talking about Allegheny Commons Park, the oldest park in Pittsburgh. Dating back to 1867, this lovable piece of foliage has been gracing yinzers alike with great green space since the beginning. You can take a stroll and admire all beauty it has to offer or look on their website for hot events going on! Plus, you can visit shop at a great farmers market showcasing fresh products for most of the year!

North Shore Steelers and Pirates

Acrisure Stadium & PNC Park

Hey batter, batter swing! Oh yeah, we’re coming at you with one of the most iconic things to do in the North Shore. Seeing Steeler game? Or catching the Pirates? Trust us, after one game, a hot dog, and an IC Light, you’ll be talking in total Pittsburghese. See some of the most exciting sports in the entire country and see amazing concerts by household names play on the water. Acrisure Stadium & PNC Park are the true heartbeat to Pittsburgh and you must experience at least once!

Shorty's Pins x Pints

With all these fun things to do on the North Shore, there is definitely something for everyone (especially at Shorty’s). Take in the beautiful view of the city skyline while sipping on a delicious beverage in their outdoor space or head inside for some duckpin bowling while munching on some tasty tacos. Don’t forget to take your picture in the photo booth before you leave!

North Shore Andy Warhol Museum

Andy Warhol Museum

The greatest of the greats, a trendsetter, a moment in time where intrigue and weird all came together and flourished inside one little blonde man. The Andy Warhol Museum is one of Pittsburgh’s most fascinating museums to explore. Set your sights and learn everything about one of America’s most famous and controversial artists. Andy Warhol did say, “Art is whatever you can get away with.” But what we can’t let you get away with is missing out on one of the most intriguing things to do in the North Side.

North Shore Voodoo Brewing

Voodoo Brewing Pittsburgh Pub

Fast-growing brewery Voodoo Brewing Co. opened its Pittsburgh Pub on the North Shore earlier this year, and since then it’s become the ultimate spot to pregame the Pirates and Steelers or a concert at Stage AE, or just to stick around and enjoy some awesome brews by the river. In addition to their beers, you can sample colorful craft cocktails and tons of delicious food, including burgers, pizzas, salads, and even beer mussels!
